Alabama Requiring Social Security Cards For Marriage

Unintended Consequence,

Hey folks,

Alabama is TRYING to do the right thing. They are trying to close a loop hole in the Immigration Laws that allows an Illegal Immigrant to get on the fast track to citizenship. There are MANY websites out there that promote this loophole. As a matter of fact, one even comes right out and tells you this.

“Learn how to benefit from United States immigration laws and procedures ... In other words, marriage to a U.S. citizen is the fast lane to a green card.”

Well, it seems that Alabama has decided to fix that. How? Are they trying to create new laws to hinder those seeking marriage? Are they creating new legislation to target Hispanics? Are they making radical moves to limit Immigrates from enjoying the same freedoms we enjoy? NO They are simply following CURRENT laws.

According to this NPR Radio Segment, it’s about two minutes and forty four seconds long, Alabama has decided that if you want to get married in this country, you need to do what everyone else has to do. Show a Social Security Card.

What is the problem with that? OH, yeah, Illegals do not have one. So what is the problem with that? Discrimination and NOW, thanks to Father Thomas Ackerman of St Williams Church, it is a violation of the Freedom of Religion. Yup. You heard correctly. He feels that the requirement to show PROOF that they are a legal citizen encroaches on his Religious Freedom and forces people to live in Sin.

How about this Father, how about they DON’T live in Sin, and they DON’T chose to come here illegally? What responsibility do you lay at THEIR feet.

Now this couple has already had a child. Unfortunately the baby was born with server medical problems and has had nine surgeries. Who paid for those? Now do not misunderstand. I wish them the best and hope that the child comes through OK. But I do have a problem with the whole situation.

First, Krista Praddo or Pratto CHOSE to come here illegally. Then they CHOSE to keep this secrete. They CHOSE to file for a marriage license INSTEAD of a Green Card, and this is the State of Alabama’s fault? It is an encroachment On Religious Freedom? No, it isn’t. It is the actions of some who feel they should receive the benefits yet feel they do not have to do what is required to receive them. It really IS just that simple.
