    TJ 4EVER got a reaction from ibee in How does this affect us?   
    I could not have said it better. Compassion...we are talking about human lives. Yes it is not fair that we had to pay much higher fees to get our spouses here to the U.S. But on the other hand we do not walk in the shoes of those who have to live in this country as an illegal immigrant. We do not know what they have faced but instead we tend to lump everyone in one category assuming that everyone must be punished because everyone has done wrong. If you judge be prepared to be judged. Compassion...geesh...is that such a hard concept?
    Thank you so much for voicing this...my God these are human beings we are talking about.

    You are definitely entitled to your opinion but I would suggest to look through the lenses of the illegal immigrant before judging them so harshly. Educate your self regarding what they have been facing because of their status and show some compassion. We all need a little compassion here and there.

    I understand your frustration but some of those (a large portion) who our President is legitimizing are not illegal because they did something wrong, it is their parents who made the choice and now they are left between a rock and a hard place.

    TJ 4EVER got a reaction from LoveNigarmostyle in New facebook group   
    To anyone interested. I developed a facebook group called "Americans loving their Nigerian spouses" the group description is as follows:
    Unfortunately we hear too often about marriages between Americans and Nigerians where the American who got married to a Nigerian later finds out that he or she has been scammed by the Nigerian spouse for the purpose of immigrating to the United States. This fact has caused many Americans to become suspicious of all Nigerians and has painted a negative picture of our Nigerian brothers and sisters. I am developing this group to support those who are in legitimate marriages, a place where we can support one another, share our love stories, and validate that it is wrong to judge a whole race of people based on what a few bad apples have done. Our stories are worth being told and we deserve the same amount of respect that other intercultural marriages receive. I love my husband with all of my heart and I know, without a doubt, that my husband (An Igbo Man) loves me with all of his heart. Let’s stand together and support one another through this process of loving our Nigerian spouse in spite of the negative reactions that the world throws at us.
    We are not interested in any hate stories but are looking for support for those who are in loving marriages. Please join us!
