• I agree with many Americans that illegal immigration is a major problem, can’t deny that. What I do not agree with, however, is the way immigration laws treat married couples, when one spouse is a US citizen. (Especially when the spouse originally entered the country legally.) It sometimes seems US immigration’s aim is to break up families. I’m speaking from personal experience here. The NYTimes has been running a lot of immigration articles lately that I can really relate to. This one surprised me, because the lawyerly advice the couple in the article received is exactly what I’d always been told. Someday I’ll write about my experience with family immigration in Spain, and how it seriously contrasts with the US.
