Who pens this nonsense? Now it's all about the children. What next? Their pets?

I spoke with a woman last night who is living in Canada but married to an American who lives in Montana. She has spent two years trying to obtain her green card so she may work when she goes to be with her husband who she only sees for a couple of weeks at a time. She has a hearing in 10 days to see if she'll receive the card. If she is prepared to go through the proper channels then why do we have sympathy for anyone (child or otherwise) who wants to circumvent the system? Either you apply for entry and are legal or you don't and you are illegal. For the Obama's and Trudeaus of the world they like the "grey" area where there's that mushy middle and everything is all messed up.
