OK she had a student Visa, THEN married, Then violated the visa, THEN was told to leave voluntarily...

I hate to think what that family is going through but I would like to know what she was thinking. If she had a student visa, but married, wouldn't she have desired to stay in the states?? I must admit great ignorance in what the process is for an immigrent to become a U.S. Citizen. But wouldn't you have at least begun the process and attempted to become a citizen? Why would you even attempt to work without a permit (green card??) if you knew it could cause you to have to leave. She was taking a big chance then that she would get sent away from her husband.

Yet - She seems to be a productive member of society. I see so many others that I'll not name, who are immigrants and living illegally and yet the immigration offices are focusing their efforts on someone who has caused no trouble in 18 years besides one attempt to actually WORK. I can think of too many who don't work and shouldn't be here. It kindof seems like a false show of power instead of a real effort to correct a problem.
