Amid pressure from Democratic lawmakers, Homeland Security officials reiterated Friday that a foreigner's longstanding same-sex relationship with a U.S. citizen could help stave off the threat of deportation.
Binational gay couples are eligible for consideration under a federal program designed to focus resources away from low-priority deportation cases and let officials spend more time tracking down convicted criminals, said Marsha Catron, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security.
However, the Obama administration will not automatically shelve deportation cases or process green card applications involving foreign citizens married to same-sex American partners.
Catron said Homeland Security will continue to comply with a 1996 law that prohibits the government from recognizing same-sex relationships, even as it takes these relationships into consideration when evaluating possible deportation.
The Obama administration last year said it considers the Defense of Marriage law unconstitutional and would no longer defend it in court.

When does this madness end? And hasn’t this been on the news?
When does this madness end? And hasn’t this been on the news?
The Holy Grail of liberalism - entitlement and preferential treatment.
So perversion is now a key qualification to be an immigrant? What if the illegal alien had a longstanding perverted relationship with a US person who is under age? Are child molesters therefore qualified to be first in line as they function as both parent and perverted sex partner?
On the other hand, I suppose it's good they're collecting this information, so the sodomite foreigner can be identified and deported. . . after the smoke clears.
Wow. 20,000,000 illegals just turned homosexual.
Stock up on hand sanitizer.
WHY IS EVERY OTHER NEWS ARTICLE ABOUT FAGS?
Yes, I’m being ridiculous - because it *is* ridiculous.
This perversion should accelerate deportation.
This could be a terrorist’s dream. I can see CAIR establishing a dating service between citizen-believers and illegals with bad intentions. There’s already a website called “singlemuslim.com”. Maybe they’ll start one called “GayIllegal.com”. Heck, maybe I should reserve that URL and put it up for sale to the highest bidder.
It is amazing how much the 1% to 3% homosexual population controls the Obama administration.
That's because this administration leads with its behind... or something like that.
“Homeland Security will continue to comply with a 1996 law that prohibits the government from recognizing same-sex relationships, even as it takes these relationships into consideration when evaluating possible deportation.”
Liberals, the majority of collage professors, and government employees are the only people who could possibly delve into the logic of that statement for more than 5 seconds without wanting to set their hair on fire, take two spoons and jam them into their eyes, and then spend several hours throwing kittens off the roof of a highrise while listening to “The Greatest 12-Tone Hits of All Time Presented By Hop-A-Long Gunter’s Ol’ Time Polka Band”.
Weigh? Rosanne Barr weighs a lot!
agreed. If they are illegal they should be deported as soon as possible - gay or straight.
“The Obama administration last year said it considers the Defense of Marriage law unconstitutional ... “
along with federal immigration laws, election/campaign/fundraising laws, firearm laws, `whistleblower’ laws, civil rights laws, private property laws, freedom of expression laws, exercize of religion laws, large portions of the Constitution itself (and on & on) ...
Three more months
Well, 99% of illegal aliens just turned homosexual.
Switch flipped...
It’s interesting to watch Leftists at work.
One thing you can certainly say. They aren’t bashful. They go right for the jugular.
By comparison, our team in Washington wets itself before it gets out of the gate.
