"Sex Discrimination"

Dear Senator:
I am writing this in regards to S.424, The Uniting American Families Act, and in particular section 20. It seems unthinkable to me to add the term "permanent partner" to immigration law. It is easy to see that the intent of this bill is to allow same-sex partners equal status as married couples in regards to resident status.

First of all, by including same-sex partners, this encourages unhealthy, immoral behavior that is condemned by every major religion on the face of the earth.

Secondly, "permanent partner" is an inherently ill-defined term. What if people who aren't really "partners" (either same or different sex) say that they are just so that they can get visas, etc.? What are you going to do, watch them while they...? Do they have to sign an affidavit saying that they had sex a certain number of times and plan to continue to do it with certain frequency upon immigrating to the U.S.? For the first time ever, your voter eligibility may be determined by how much SEX you’ve had! This gives new meaning to the term "sex discrimination".

What about people with multiple partners? Just what kind of “families” can be united under this bill? What if a potential immigrant was having sex with a horse and it wandered across the border?

We should do one of the following instead:

1. Either let anybody immigrate to the U.S. for any reason as long as they pass a criminal background check, don’t have any serious communicable diseases, and learn the English language and the Constitution.

2. Don’t let anybody immigrate to the U.S. for any reason.

Whether we chose 1) or 2) should depend on whether we stop being a welfare state and if we have morons in charge at the INS.
