@1--2nd to last paragraph "Jorge Baron, director of the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project"

Yay for repeal of DOMA! This will help...

I hope that the new immigration law will include same sex marriages but the fact is that it is a long way from expiration of a work visa to deportation. My husband and I met in 1998 and he has been living illegally in the United States since his asylum case was denied in 2006. A warrant was issued for his deportation but he has never been arrested. Under our current system a person is unlikely to be deported unless they are arrested for a crime. Ken and Otts should stay in the US as long as they can.

@2: Ah. There it is. I missed seeing his first name Jorge, and admit I skimmed through the first time. Thanks!

Great article, Keegan, and best wishes to Ken Thompson and Otts Bolisay when they do tie the knot!! Here's hoping DOMA is officially DEAD.

If these two were banking all along to have the one stay here simply because they were going to get married, they are both fools. I mean, I think it sucks that this will not work for them but they should have been looking into their options. What is the old saying "don't keep your eggs all in the same basket" ??? There are plenty of straight couples this doesn't work out for either.

The repeal of DOMA is excellent news for this couple, and any other binational homosexual pairs in marriage equality states!

Nevertheless the GOP policy on immigration reform is offensive.

And political party's platform is a reflection of the will of its constituency.

Voters have always fallen for fear tactics, but we have less excuse now than ever before to swallow xenophobic rhetoric, what with the unlimited information at our fingertips.

Yet we seem to be regressing.

The problem is we've all got attention deficit. We require to be entertained all the time, to get hooked in 140 characters or less.

Who has time for critical analysis of multifaceted issues when there's so much great stuff on Nexflix?

Tyranny of the majority continued to play for a century after the fall of the South. White Christians haven’t proven themselves a very benevolent most populous demographic. But then, which group ever has? Absolute power corrupts…

The GOP knows all too well that pretty soon at the current rates of inversion unless whites start fucking like Caribeños they will become a minority, to which no amount of gerrymandering will be able to adjust. Unless something bullheaded is done. Like erecting a Great Wall of Drones.

Why wouldn’t the golden group want to retain its power by any means necessary? Trust me, ellos la comprenden muy bien la idea. That’s why they’ll never in a million years vote for you even if you raise up Rubio.

You’re treatin em like enemies, unlike the allys they are; unlike Canadians. They get the hint, hijodeputas.

Wow...Good article for your message I object to the terms “aPodment” and “micro-housing” being used interchangeably. I don’t mind micro-housing in general, but I don’t like the way the aPodment company has been conducting business.
