If this is true, and these two guys can make this happen, it'll be news to the thousands of married hetero couples who can't do this.Wednesday, June 26, 2013

Shawn Sanders of Anchorage, Alaska, and Jocelyn Guzman, of Mexico — one of the first gay couples married in Clark County — have been separated since March because of the Defense of Marriage Act. The federal law, largely struck down Wednesday by the U.S. Supreme Court, barred Sanders from sponsoring Guzman for a green card. After the couple married, immigration officials said Guzman could no longer continue to enter the country on her tourist visa, and she couldn't enter as the spouse of a U.S. citizen because the federal government didn't recognize the couple's marriage.
"Immigration issues" did NOT "keep them apart." They decided to do it that way, because there's nothing keeping the guy in Alaska from moving to Mexico. He just doesn't want to do it.
With straight couples, the marriage isn't recognized in part because the proper process wasn't followed to legally legitimize the marriage in the eyes of the government. That they're gay shouldn't result in any changes to the requirements that any other married couples are forced to undergo.
In this case, one of these guys broke the law by overstaying his visa. Those illegal aliens who break our laws (And by definition, an illegal alien is breaking our laws) should be permanently forbidden to enter this country.
That guy Sanders can, of course, feel free to move to Mexico. So nothing, in reality, is keeping these guys apart except their own decision.
In short, stop whining.
As Scalia said, they basically declared defenders of traditional marriage the enemy with this decision.
