In the old forum we used to have lively discussions on immigration reform almost all the time...until it became a racist political platform. I found this article and it brought me back to the days when people actually thought about who should be allowed to be a citizen and perhaps who should not....
MIAMI - The honeymoons are over for a 26-year-old woman who authorities say has at least 10 husbands.
Eunice Lopez has been charged with bigamy, accused of marrying 10 men between 2002 and 2006 without divorcing any of them, federal immigration authorities say. The Miami Herald reported Saturday that a records search by the newspaper found seven additional marriages under the bride's name and birth date.
Lopez arrived in South Florida from Cuba in 2002 and was a legal U.S. resident.
"I can tell you that none of the individuals she married had any type of residency," said Terry Chavez, a spokesman for the Miami-Dade office of the state attorney.
I cannot help but feel that had we but a comprehensive, reasonably timeframed and overt immigration policy then vultures like this female would have less to prey on.
