UAFA Senate Hearings (6/3/2009) - Jessica Vaughan, Center for Immigration Studies

Your presentation is so bureaucratic and naive. Of course DOMA is blatantly discriminatory and should be repealed. But the reality is that the bigoted and cynical Republicans will block that. So until DOMA is overturned, we need to take whatever steps we can get through. It troubles me that you're more concerned about bureaucratic niceties than the lives of real people. Do you not have any compassion?

It's seems to be human nature to grab onto any argument sounding reasonable and many people will probably believe what she has to say. But she is not much more than a speed bump.

Jessica the lady in the video rule base on fear. Work it out Jessica.

In practical stand point, you need to figure out a way to provide a working immigration policy that allow gays to be together. Not sit there and complain and live in fear. That why the tax dollars is for - FIX the dam immigration loop hole in gays, straights. Bring people together ! Figure out a way to provide their legality of marriage !

Does one legislate based on fear?

This woman's argument is based on her assumption that the people who are in charge of enforcing the law are incompetent, for not distinguishing what is real and fraudulent relationships.

Maybe we should also lesgislate the closure of catholic schools based on our fear that children will be exposed to pedophile priests, hows that for a start.

This is a lame argument.

I would like to know what the big deal is.

More then 20 countries worldwide provide this right. Countries which are known for high levels of immigration, like Canada, UK, Australia, etc.

Some of them have same-sex marriage, some of them civil unions, some of them, like Ireland or Australia, have neither.

Yet they can sponsor their foreign partner.

None of these countries have any problems. The fraud argument is a non- argument.

So.... in ONE YEAR, 400,000 straight couples can get a green card for their spouse, but we should be denied this opportunity, just because providing proof is difficult?
