The Federal government is spending mega hours and money to have the right to deport 134 plus individuals whom were the wives of men who have died. These women would have become citizens had their husbands not died and they are not a risk to the USA. In one case they have said they will abide by the ninth district courts decision not to deport a specific women. For a government agency on principal to be fighting for the right to deport the individuals is such a waste of time and money. This group of women and their families that would otherwise have become citizens except for the fact the husbands died before the process was completed.

The money would be better spent on processing the thousands of pending delayed requested for citizenship. Individuals, organizations and foundations should voice their support of an immigration policy that is fair, efficient and meets unmet needs of the USA. Remember it is an election year. While you can not campaign for a candidate, you can certainly public what is good immigration policy.
