A friend of mine recently had to go through a military relocation. He was stationed at a local base and they decided to move him someplace else. It’s been a real pain for him and his family, but he really has no choice in the matter. He loves being in the military and says that he can’t complain because he knew what to expect when he signed up.

So I’m reading this news about the wife of the Army man who is missing and presumed dead and how they want to deport her back to the Dominican Republic because she came into the country illegally. And while I won’t stand for an illegal entry into the US, it would really be insensitive if the powers that be deport this woman in her time of grief and misery.
If anything, they should be trying to help her in every way that they possibly can to remain in this country and have a better life. They owe her that much, she loan her husband to the US to fight their war. Doesn’t that amount to something? It would really hurt me to see this woman return to the Dominican Republic and while her husband’s body is buried here, should he be really dead. That would be horrendous to say the least.

New Haven, Connecticut’s Mayor John De-Stefano recently got the approval from Senate on his ID card for immigrants.

A lot of immigrants are loving the idea of getting their picture ID so much that they are not seeing the bigger picture. To own one of these ID cards will mean that all their business and financial transactions will always be under a radar. And since most immigrants are working off the books, this card will ensure that they pay their taxes in the long run among other things. What’s that old adage again “something that appears too good…”
