I understand all the emotion involved in this case, but one thing we all have to remember whether we like it or not is that as a USC we do not have an absolute right to bring anyone into this country. It is a privilege so we have to be very careful when stating how unfair immigration is because we can't help whom we fall in love with, as the government and its representatives do have a right to withold immigration privileges from anyone it deems to not warrant such. That's just the way it is.
If indeed such a privilege is not granted to your SO, then are you willing to relocate to Morocco? Obviously that would be the next logical step. As you say, we can't help whom we fall in love with but we also have to look at how much we are willing to sacrifice to be with that person - if it really is love then we would be willing to go to the ends of the earth to be with that person - love knows no bounds - so in point of fact the fact that you can't get a visa for him to come to the US isn't the end of the world or the relationship - just means a reversal of process - you go there instead of him come here. No big issue - problem solved - everyone happy! That's the real test of how much you love someone - what are you prepared to give up for them if your initial plans can't be realised.
Thats really a lovely but very naive thought. You see I would be willing to move to Morocco if the need be, but my dad just had a stroke and there is no one else but me to take care of him. I hope they don't make me choose between my sick father and my true love, what would I do?
