| Legal Immigrants Being Denied Visas By Obama |
| 2014-07-29 |
| The husband is an American. His wife is British. She applied for a spouse visa in April 2013. As of this writing, they are still waiting for an approval. "The whole process has been a disaster," the British bride tells me. "It is near impossible to get any information or time estimates." The State Department demanded that the bride prove she would not be a financial burden to the country. No, really. The bride has an English degree. Her husband is the co-owner of a store in the Denver area. She said they were required to prove that they made enough money to live above the poverty threshold. "This is all to show that the immigrant spouse won't become a financial burden on the country," she said. Meanwhile, the federal government also required our blushing bride to undergo a rigorous series of medical exams -- totaling $500. "I was told that if I didn't get that done, I wouldn't get my visa," she said. So you might imagine her frustration at she watches the Obama administration allow thousands of disease-infected illegals into the country -- and then provides them with medical care -- compliments of the American taxpayer. |

| #9 ..yeah, when they ask where you're from, just say New England. If they ask what city, say Manchester. |

| #8 I got an idea: How about if she flies to Juarez and then walks across the border? |

| #6 Time for a class action suit per the 'equal clause' that the judiciary is so fond of. |

| #5 I think it's not just whites. I work with a Hispanic guy trying to get his wife legalized. He went to a couple of immigration hearings, but since the "children's crisis", further hearings have been delayed. So the folks following the rules (legal immigrants) get folked while the progressives fall all over each other trying to ease the burden of the illegal immigrants. Bizarroworld. |

| #4 The Brit woman needs only to slip over the southern border illegally. She may be a bit over-educated and without a criminal record which could be a mark against her. |

| #3 This has been going on for years. 'Sponsors' have always had to sign an 'Affidavit of Support' detailing that they will support the immigrant for up to 10 years after they get a job (or until they become naturalized). The feds can sue the sponsor if he doesn't (and I have no doubt they will if your white). Same for a medical exam and if they find anything your are refused. This looks like a really bad instance. We went through much the same process (not so long or expensive) when my wife came over from the Philippines on a K-1 visa over a decade ago. And yes it pisses you off when Obama and company simply allow illegal aliens in with no support, no medical exam, no sponsor, and immediately granted welfare and medical 'benefits'. (And democrat voter registration card no doubt). Also note that the falsely named 'immigration reform' bill(s) which Congress is touting does nothing to change the 'legal' process of actual immigration (thus it shouldn't be called 'immigration' reform but simply 'Grant of Amnesty'). |

| #2 She should change her name to Lopez, go to a tanning salon, then come in through Juarez. Problem solved. |

| #1 This has been going on for quite a while. It has general targeted white Europeans and Africans. Shocking no ? |
