I'm surprised that people aren't more up-in-arms about the new procedural change at UICIS that allows people to process their spouse's paperwork before sending them back home to their home country, not knowing whether they'll be able to return and when. If nothing else, I was hoping it would shed some light on the fact that marrying an American is NOT the automatic greencard the movies make it out to be (most of those plots involve expiring visas, which is a whole 'nother ball of wax). There are thousands of people out there with US Citizen spouses and children who live in fear that they will be deported and never see their families again because there is no law allowing them to get legal papers without them returning to their home country for a minimum of six months, usually longer, not knowing if they'll ever get to come back. If someone told you that you had to willingly leave your spouse and children and it's a throw of the dice whether you get to come back, are you leaving?

All of the hassle/wait times is because of the amount of fraud that goes on even with the current steps and procedures in place that couples have to do. If we gave insta-citizenship the second the marriage license was issued it would be quite the mess.

The quoted section says they were smiling and talking. How do we know she wasn't in the middle of the story and that the camera caught her at a bad moment?

My thoughts exactly. We really don't know what the exchange was at all and as far as anyone knows HE could have said something to her to set her off ( Obama is suing her you know). Either way, I'm not surprised that the media is trying to portray this as Brewer being a crazy bitch chasing Obama out on the tarmac to cuss him out. LOL
