I don’t know why the Times put this story in Fashion & Style section on their website, but it caught my attention… The article is about marraiges between illegal immigrants and U.S. citizens. Such couples often face heartake because the spouse, who was in the U.S. illegally, can get deported or face years of background checks before they get cleared. The article focuses on a couple who have two children and a third one on its way, but they were separated when the wife was deported to her native Honduras. She has to wait ten years before being allowed to come back to the U.S. because she overstayed her tourist visa. Her husband is fed up with the system and recently decided to move to Honduras to join his family.
The are no multimedia pieces for this article. There is only a link for a related article, but I don’t know how a debate about women’s attire in Dubai is related to an article about immigration….
