Yes, and we should be happy that some people still want to come to America. Maybe we can rebuild a middle class. Although, the clubs in Tijuana are a whole lot more fun. Esp when you order a drink but don't speak a word of Mexican!

Good job linking this to Gay marriage. What are these people going to contribute to? Are they going to raise children and add to our population? not likely. The left can scream and beat their heads on the floor as much as they want, but homosexual relationships are never going to be the equivalent of Heterosexual ones. This is one point where Religion, Nature, and Evolution can all come together in agreement.

It would encourage a new avenue for exploiting immigrants, the gay 3rd world population facing oppression there would seek American sponsors. We have too many exploited illegal immigrants as it is, without legitimizing and encouraging more of the same with a stamp of gov't approval.

Aftermath

v I have mixed feelings

I had to take I have mixed feeling here, not because I am not convinced that same sex partners are going to burn in hell. But the fact that there is some rule where they cannot both have VISAs? Not in the same name or some quasi family name. Because that is either against the law or plainly immoral. But if they both have names then they both can apply and pay the fee and take the picture and be happy and gay. (no pun intended) Beyond that, if it has "same sex" in it, it is probably bad.

If you had any idea what some gay, bi and transgendered people have gone through just to EXIST, let alone live openly, you would know there's no choice here. Although there are a whole lot of married straight dudes looking for gay fun here in San Diego, especially the heteros from the military. And I do mean a lot. I'm a broken down old guy barely clinging to reality and straight guys frequently proposition me, 'cause they just want to "try it once." Seems like they're making some kind of choice.

@dontmatter Sorry, don't, but it has been repeatedly documented that straight dudes get way more horned-up and stimulated by gay porn than straight porn, and more turned on by gay porn than gay dudes are. So i don't know what your "chic" told you.

Biased worded poll. Sure they should be punished just like any other married couple, but nobody should be allowed to get a visa simply because they have a squeeze living here.

They are not married. It maybe a civil union which is not a "MARRIAGE". So no

@Yobyag marriage is defined as man and woman. Sorry if this offends you. I have a brother who is Gay. He will tell you that marriage is a man and a woman. He believes in civil unions. In the beginning it it was Adam and Eve. Not Adam and Steve. This may shock you but I don't feel they qualify for family benefits.

Yes, but first the government must legalize gay marriage. Then, marriage visas for same-sex couples can be handled the same way as heterosexual couples.

It seems unjust to discriminate a type of love just for being different then the typical male-female relationship. Love is love, and it is a human right. Love who you want, and respect those for being who they are.

It just seems cruel to me not to allow same sex partners of legal immigrants status with regard to visas. There is no rational or logical reason not to other than hatred, spite and bigotry.

Why are we even considering this. For every single guy who successfully gets across the border without being caught, he will send for a friend, even if they are not linked sexually. Same with a girl who successfully gets across. But then, the Democrats are banking on near 100% Democrats coming across, so all the better. Maybe Obama should include US party affiliation in the interview. If they are at all Conservative, he can send them back. He is practically that transparent about his intentions anyway.

This shouldn't even be a question. If the state acknowledges the marriage as legal the federal govt should honor that contract as it is legally binding.

Our federal laws don't define marriage as same sex partners, neither do Mexico's. Why should we start making things up. I don't believe in rewarding illegals with amnisty. Furthermore it will cost us more financailly than it will bring in and we should focus on the suffering Americans and close our borders to illegals.
