I ran across my late mother's immigration papers last week. I thought this section was funny: I am not a member of any of the following classes of individuals excluded from admission to the United States: (1)Idiots (2)Imbeciles (3)Feeble-minded (4)Epileptics (5)Insane persons (6)Persons having had previous attacks of insanity (7)Persons with constitutional psychopathic inferiority (8)persons with chronic alcoholism (9)Paupers (10)Professional beggars (11)Vagrants (12)Persons afflicted with tuberculosis (13)Persons afflicted with a loathsome or dangerous contagious disease (14)Criminals (15)Polygamists (16)Anarchists (17)Members of unlawful organizations (18)Prostitutes (19)Procurers (20)Contract laborers (21)Persons likely to become public charges (22)Persons previously deported (23)Persons previously excluded from admission (24)Natives of Asiatic barred zone (25)Illiterates We have enough homegrown ones, thank-you. Now, back you our regularly scheduled programming...

I think it was the TV show 20/20 who re-aired the story of the US Serviceman who met a woman who was the daughter of the royal family of an oil-rich nation - Bahrain or something. They fell in love and she left her nation to wed the US Serviceman. The INS tried to deport her, even though the odds of her life being in danger in her home country were high, due to her abandoning her family and "obligations" - in other words, to marry who her family wanted her to marry. In what can be seen as ironic, the INS made her leave the US, and re-enter the US from Mexico, and now their fate as a married couple able to stay in the US is more secure. So, yes there is much hypocrasy in immigration - remember how important it was for Janet Reno to deport Elian Gonzales at gunpoint?
