Obama Administration Deprting Legally Married Gays Because of DOMA

In yet another example of why I believe that Obama needs to be turned out of the White House as soon as possible, ABC News is reporting on yet another betrayal by the Liar-in-Chief: he's deporting gay nationals even when they are legally married to American citizens. According to our fierce betrayer, he has to - just like he has to defend DOMA in court, the law being cited to justify separating couples and flipping the bird to marriages that are legal in five states and even more foreign countries. As I have noted before, with a "friend" like Obama, who needs an enemy. Oh, and do NOT point to the 150 or so gays appointed to positions by the Liar-in-Chief. When it comes to delivering on true substance, he's batting zero. He knows it and simply doesn't care - something I now recognize has always been the case. LGBT Americans have been played as complete suckers by this man. Yes, the GOP is worse, but only by a matter of degree. Obama is no friend to LGBT citizens. I am back to thinking that the best move for LGBT Americans is to emigrate, taking our money and talent with us. Here are some story highlights:
*
Joshua Vandiver, a Colorado native who is earning his Ph.D. in politics at Princeton University, said he is the studious type who has rarely embraced activism. But now, just months into his legal marriage to Venezuelan Henry Velandia, he is fighting to save his husband from being deported.
*
Had the couple been straight and not gay, Vandiver would have been allowed to apply for permanent residence status for Velandia, who could then later apply for citizenship.
*
But their dream to build a life together is been derailed by the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defines marriage as between a man and a woman under all federal laws, including immigration.
*
On Nov. 17, the couple will go before a federal immigration judge to ask that deportation proceedings be halted until legal challenges or a Congressional repeal of DOMA have been resolved.
*
Vandiver has applied for a petition to allow Velandia to stay in this country, an application that will surely be denied. And with that rejection letter, the couple will consider a lawsuit. "I see that as discriminatory," said Vandiver. "I am really frightened thinking that I will have to live without my other half," said Velandia, a salsa dancer. "But we have faith and are doing the best we can."
