Friday's statement, which builds on comments Homeland Security officials made last summer, came three days after 84 lawmakers demanded the agency put its position in writing to help protect same-sex couples from deportation.

"It is significant to me because it is expressly inclusive of LGBT families," said Lavi Soloway, an immigration attorney who represents a number of same-sex couples in deportation proceedings.

However, "as long as it's not in writing it doesn't mean that much for an individual in deportation," Soloway said.

Does anyone know what percentage of the U.S. population is queer? I think it will stun everyone to know that it is a very low figure....but with the MSM propaganda, you would think that it is over 60% of the population.

Immigration is broken and illegals are not the cause they are the result of it.

The issue no longer is Immigration nor illegals nor gays. And now it's not so much Obama and his EOs. All of these things were the issue and very important ones. So important that the first time Obama ignored the Constitution he should have been warned.

Sorry guys. The issue is not immigration, it's not to do with illegals and the issue is no longer Obama making laws on his own.

The issue now is John Boehner.

And apparently illegals who are homo now have an advantage over the other 97%.
