Same-sex marriage, backdoor to immigration fraud?

Check this out. The Obama Administration clearly isn't doing enough to attract illegal aliens to these United States, so now they've added "married to" (or "thinking about being married to") a person of the same sex as yet another reason to cancel deportation proceedings.

Henry Velandia is a Venezuelan national who moved to Princeton, NJ while appearing in a Univision TV series. He overstayed his visa, which makes him ineligible for a Green Card. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) caught up to him, and initiated deportation hearings.

But then there was a "catch."

Last year Mr. Velandia took a ride to Connecticut to "marry" a fellow named Joshua Vandiver and suddenly he was a cause celebre among the intelligensia. Because even though he broke the law, Henry Velandia was being unjustly deported! ICE picked on him because he is gay!

As always when it comes to "gay rights," there are no rules. There are only rainbows. And unicorns. And of course sympathetic bureaucrats who drag their feet until their bosses can see which way the political winds are blowing.

Two weeks ago, citing waning Obama Administration support for the Defense of Marriage Act, ICE changed their tune. "Pursuing Mr. Velandia's deportation is not an enforcement priority at this time." And just like that the judge dropped the charges. Henry Velandia's get-out-of-jail-free card arrived in yesterday's mail.

Well whaddya know. When it comes to "Love, Illegal Alien Style," boy-meets-girl is totally passe. ICE is on to all the fake bride scams and they put every traditionally married immigrant couple through the ringer. But now, thanks to "gay marriage," the backdoor to Green Card Nirvana is wide open again.

So starting next month, when every Juan, Jose, and Hector in the Tri-State Area hotfoots it over to New York to get hitched to the bracero of his dreams, don't say I didn't warn you.
