While the U.S. military searches for an American soldier missing in Iraq, kidnapped by insurgents, his wife back home in Massachusetts may be deported by the U.S. government. The story goes like this:
Army Spec. Alex Jimenez, who has been missing since his unit was attacked by insurgents in Iraq on May 12, had petitioned for a green card for his wife, Yaderlin Hiraldo, whom he married in 2004.
Their attorney, Matthew Kolken, said 23-year-old Hiraldo illegally entered the United States in 2001 to reunite with her husband, whom she had met in her native Dominican Republic and later married at his New York State Army base in 2004.
What is wrong with our country that they would treat a soldiers wife this way. This is heartbreaking......

actually the fact checking on the report was terribly sloppy.
i was traumatized when i heard this and got the inside scoop.
in fact, the soldier never filed any requisite paperwork after the wedding, and once the wife was notified she would be deported, she notified her husband's superiors, the pentagon took over and stopped all proceedings. the military are handling her immigration papers now.
in fact, the military is very proactively seeking to ensure that all illegal immigrants serving receive legal status.

MF...just a disclaimer, Jason doesn't exactly do his research on political/social posts. It's all vitriolic partisan hackery coming from media matters or some other illegitimate resource.

Hey guys! You know what I think? I think that all written here is bullshit, real lie. They are making us believe it’s true, they are trying to express it like it was in reality. Don’t believe it if you are not insane! There’s nothing special in this site, they just express regular news with unusual words. They can make something shocking out of anything! Don’t trust them!
