Since her friend brought the case to my attention. I cant stop thinking about how unfair it seems. Ive sat in Senate hearing after hearing on the Immigration and Naturalization Service asking why action is not taken to deport illegal aliens who got into this country through deception. I have listened to this administration try to explain how in 1996 they naturalized thousands of aliens with criminal backgrounds. And. I find it astonishing. these very same Justice immigration judges have ruled in separate cases that homosexuality per se does constitute a legitimate claim for asylum. But. in this case we have a woman who came to the United States legally. who is not and never has been a citizen of Georgia. who had her husband killed by Georgian authorities. who legitimately fears for her safety if sent there. who has complied with all the United States immigration laws. and who has paid her own way and has not been a burden to taxpayers in this countryand this is who the Justice Department wants to deny asylum and deport? Maybe I should forgo this bill and simply tell Olga to pretend that she is homosexual. This is injustice.
