Cupid’s arrows bounce off immigration laws

Today, we see the fourth generation catch the same “virus” their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents did — “the love bug.” When and where it bites knows no boundaries. Look around. Kids today come in different colors, hues and cultures. For them, race is not the issue it was for many of us growing up. Cupid doesn’t worry about what happens after humans are struck with the “love bug.” Love knows no borders. And that’s the way it is.

Many times after wars, soldiers have brought home foreign-born spouses. There was a time when an American marrying a person from another country practically assured the spouse American citizenship.

But in the aftermath of 9/11, many view noncitizens with suspicion. Still, many Americans continue to fall in love with and marry noncitizens. They have children, who are then American citizens. Yet, there are some who keep calling for the undocumented, otherwise law-abiding individual to go back to his/her native country — all this at the expense of tearing apart the family. Simply the rule of law — go back to where you came from. But what if it was one of your family members?”*
