There is nothing wrong with that. If it is being done differently In some areas of the United States than others. we can correct that. But I do not believe that absolutely every case where one spouse is illegal must be given relief from deportation because in some cases we already deport the illegal spouses of legal immigrants In the United States. I just do not know why we should tie the hands of the INS and prevent them from deporting everyone in this category. and they have only done 12. or 8. or 5 or 100. I do not know. It is not over 100. It Is exactly in these cases where some alien families choose to separate themselves for many years. I do not believe we should now grant them some automatic immigration benefit. It should be left to the INS on a casebycase basis. The question of relief has been debated and disposed of before.
