Suck it up, boy!

At senate hearings on the Uniting American Families Act bill, Alabama Republican Jefferson Sessions was reported responding to the tears of a 12-year-old, one of whose mothers faces deportation to her native Philippines, by muttering "Enough with the histrionics!"

Different-sex couples, of course, do not run the risk of one parent being deported when his or her visa runs out; they can get married. Same-sex couples, even those living in states which recognize same-sex marriage, do not.

  1. Our country (USA) has an unfair and dishonest immigration policy.
    Preventing families from staying together and preventing American citizens from pursuing their right to LOVE - is WRONG - plainly WRONG !

    Support the Uniting American Families Act - call and write your Senator and Representative !
