    she doesn't deserve to die for it

    she doesn't deserve to die for it.

    When an American man kills his immigrant wife,

    THAT IS STILL ILLEGAL IN THE US.--and bad.

    What he did was wrong and if we can prevent it, we should.

    The immigration is a separate issue from the Violence Act. Immigrants will legally immigrate regardless. That's a moot point. Throwing the baby out with the bath water.

    However, once they legally immigrate, they have all the legal rights as us US citizens, including the right NOT to be killed by a homicidal husband.

    I am still waiting for that one article that mentions women in ANY sense that isn't followed by a ranting hate-filled screed against all women by A Single Man.

    Dude, you got some SERIOUS issues.

    I hope you don't have any pet kittens.
