I am a US citizen and I fell in love with a Mexican girl who I later married. She happens to be an illegal alien (entered without inspection; she never had a visa). We have applied for the visa to make her legal, but it is NOT automatic just because we got married. In fact, it will take approximately 2-3 years. For part of this process, my wife will have to leave the United States for up to a year and so we will have to be apart during that time. There are also things she cannot do because she has no legal status, and it makes things very inconvenient for me. Question: Do you think this is fair to me, the US citizen?
BEFORE I get any stupid answers on how it was my choice to marry an illegal alien, I realize this. But love does not always follow political boundaries, and my wife is an absolutely amazing girl. To let her go would have been very stupid The point of my question concerns how actions of the US government affect one of its citizens.
