Why on earth will the US government not grant immigrant status to the widow of a Marine killed in action as part of our ongoing war against jihadi scum – especially when his family is requesting it so that their new child, an American citizen and son of a hero, can be raised in the land for which his father paid the ultimate price?

Frankly, the question asked at Wizbang says it all.

What kind of fucked up immigration system do we have in this country? The wife of a fallen marine has to fight to gain entry to this country.

I’m not a big fan of special legislation to grant relief from the hardships of the immigration process – but if ever such legislation was needed, this is it. Let’s bombard our representatives and senators with calls and letters about this case so that Hotaru Ferschke can be guaranteed the ability to live in this country with her son and her husband’s family.
