My Italian grandfather came to America when he was 5 with his mom...and became a US citizen.

He went back to choose a bride from the town he was from. He stayed a year, married my grandmother and brought her back to America.

MANY others have done the same.

Justr because ONE case turned out to be horrible - is no reason to deny thousands of others.

i agree with your post, but times have changed. i think the way they do things needs to change also.

btw a romantic story about your grandparents! always nice to read about.

People freaked out over Ebola last year and wanted all travel from Africa to cease.

Same overreaction re: marriage visas too.

BTW - my ex husband got his permanent residency status by marrying me. He was (and still is) Canadian.

That was then and this is now, two extremely different times with extremely different dangers.

My own Mother was a legal immigrant, met my Father overseas during WWII and she came to this country (after waiting over a year to be processed!) to marry him. She had to register EVERY SINGLE YEAR IN JANUARY so the government could keep track of her. If she didn't....... she would have been deported. Period. She never let that happen of course.

The government CAN keep track of immigrants. For the government to say it's impossible is to simply say it's become a free for all. It CAN be done. It was done and it needs to be done again and done well. If not, this country is going to see horror it's never seen before. We are on the cusp.

I'm pro-legal immigration. Of course I am.... I am a product of it.

My grandparents came here from Armenia...times were soooooo much different then....we need to keep our loved ones, my grandchildren, as safe as we possibly can.....and right now that requires change of what once worked.....

I don't think times are all that different.

Immigrants have always been feared and discriminated against - whether Eye-talians (dirty), or Irish ( drunk Mics) or Germans (Hitler's people). Each wave has faced the same issues.

I know this will NOT be stopped for at least a year.

As a result of just that ONE visa, 14 people are dead and how many more are injured?

We should all admit there will be MORE.

Hyacinth-thank you for your posting.....no matter how people feel about immigration, we are living in a different world, and need to deal with immigration laws in a different way....we can't live in the past--it's not working.......what used to work isn't working any longer......

My nan was an English war bride. It took some wrangling for her to come to the States after they married.

ABC News is reporting that the terrorist wife got her visa using a fake address. There is no such location. Drudge has a stack of headlines about this attack that are positively terrifying.

As for that reality show, the people don't seem to know each other hardly at all. Ninety days is not long enough for them to decide yes or no on marriage. It is very sordid to watch at times.

My mother-in-law was an immigrant from Ukraine. She met my father-in-law in a camp during WW2. Her sister also married an American military men.

These ladies were a credit to immigration.

Today is just NOT the same. We all must face that fact.

I will say, for us the interview was very easy.

Of course, it may have been because between the time DH got his green card, and the time he applied for citizenship, a number of years had passed. I think the wedding pictures - as well as the six birth certificates (with pictures of DH's mini-me's) convinced the interviewer that the relationship was real.

Armenia? Did they flee the genocide. There were some hard times there . . .

My first husband was also from another country. He was a fine man and owned a successful business here in the USA. He was an asset to this country, as are most people who immigrate here looking for better opportunities.
