The Carrot Dangles as Political Expediency Controls Immigration Reform at Expense of UAFA Equality

ALL Alone and Now Stand-alone!

Here’s how the Senators meeting today measure up in terms of their willingness to move forward on reform according to  Prerna Lal ,  co-founder of DreamActivist.org and Managing Editor at The Sanctuary.

Senator Harry Reid: Senate Majority Leader Reid has been adamantly against pursuing the DREAM Act as an independent bill, telling Latina Lista that “We can’t just do the DREAM Act” even though he is a co-sponsor. But the midterm elections might be a gamechanging “angel” for Reid. Given that Sen. Reid is miraculously trailing extreme right-winger Sharron Angle in his re-election bid, he might be open to making compromises if he wants Latino voters to come out to the polls for him in November.

Senator Dianne Feinstein: Despite numerous protests, mock graduations, and even a sit-down at her office by students,  has pursed her lips on the DREAM Act. In 2003, she contributed heavily to stripping the bill of a provision providing a pathway to citizenship for undocumented youth doing community service. Her main immigration priority is the AgJOBs legislation to allow undocumented farm workers and guest workers to gain temporary legal residency, which would undoubtedly benefit the state of California. But if she decides to give AgJOBs a push in this legislative session, it may create an opening for other legislative pieces, such as the DREAM Act. The DREAM Act is also critical for California since 40% of undocumented students reside in the state and also UAFA, where the Senator has held out from sponsorship, based on her assertion, not of fraud, as Immigration groups would have you believe, but more because of the lack of a contractual nexus (creation of legal rights and obligations ) between loosely defined “permanent partner” in the Uniting American Families Bill.  The latter could be easily remedied if some organization such as Immigration took heed when advised to deal with this aspect over a year ago.

Senator Robert Menendez: The only Latino Senator in Congress, Roberto Menendez is a wildcard. He recently chided President Obama for sending 1300 troops to the border and accused him of political grandstanding, asking the White House and Congress to champion comprehensive immigration reform instead of using border security to hide behind the issue. According to Sen. Schumer, Menendez has been holding the DREAM Act hostage in the Senate because he wants a comprehensive solution and believes in moving forward with reforms in the lame duck session after November. Refuting Schumer’s claims, several inside sources say that Menendez is willing to move forward with just the DREAM Act this year.

Senator Chuck Schumer: The target of a 10-day hunger strike by DREAM-eligible students, Schumer was supposed to introduce a comprehensive immigration reform legislation on Labor Day last year, but now is giving a timeline of next March. Sen. Schumer has little incentive to give any political victories to Sen. Reid, since Schumer would more than likely become the new Majority Leader if Reid loses his re-election bid. Schumer insists that he needs five more cosponsors for the DREAM Act to move forward, but he must also the bill’s success would give a victory to the DREAM Act’s main co-sponsor, Sen. Dick Durbin, who is the Assistant Majority Leader and also vying for the Majority Leader position. Schumer may be the biggest roadblock to any immigration reform legislation moving forward due to his own political ambitions.

So proponents of UAFA who said we would only ever succeed in getting UAFA if included in Comprehensive Immigration Reform and all you suckers who fell for the fallacious leadership, look at the mess predicted here at LGR on June 4th and in 30 some articles thereafter!  Why the #$%^ should our lives be at the mercy of political expediency.  Why should a Senator keep his jobwhen you cannot keep your spouse or stay in your country?

I HAVE HAD ENOUGH – I am sad, disappointed, angry and ready to rock SHIPS ….. Please join me …

Jerold Nadler’s stand alone Bill,The Uniting American Families Act remains the only plausible solution for equality in existing immigration law; regardless of later reform. In my opinion it can only survive as as a stand-alone bill or coupled with two other Immigration Bills  also remedial in nature.  Now UAFA has become the predictable center of controversy for many reasons, including the fact that immigration reform is even more controversial than  immigration equality. I have said for a year, these are separate issues.

Politicians have been reluctant to include UAFA in the immigration reform Bills, causing delays that have done nothing more than to hurt and exacerbate the pain of those directly impacted by the fact that same-sex partners or spouses have no mechanism to sponsor their foreign partners.  (See my earlier articles.)

Now the debacle of tagging UAFA on to Immigration reform is more apparent than ever and suddenly other activists are finally seeing that what we predicted here at LGR, one year ago, has in fact played out just as we said it would.  Now is the perfect time to take UAFA out of the immigration reform equation, and to pursue the Bill as a Stand-alone.  If adding Dream Act and/ or AGjobs will add to the votes, then add those too to a larger piece of legislation that is imperative to all across the aisle.

In truth – it is and has been irresponsible to expect bi-national same-sex spouses seeking parity with  different gender spouses to be attached to a bill that is pure controversy in its offering of legality to undocumented citizens,  that it will render the health care reform clash trivial by comparison.

Fools all of you who were willing to take this ridiculous ride imposed by Immigration Equality.   It did nothing more than derogate from the momentum for UAFA, poised by the Senate Judiciary committee hearing for UAFA supported by the impetus of the moving advocacy of Shirley Tan.  We wanted our  EQUALITY BILL – a remedial Bill, one that righted a wrong, not one that asked for something new.The  DREAMACT and AGjobs right critical wrongs too.

What damn idiot thought it a plan to attach UAFA to amnesty and Biometrics? The lobby of Schumer by Immigration Equality and all the rest of us idiots puppets to the lockstep delusions of three incompetent decision makers puporting to represent an entire community in its decision making without so much ads a vote.

UAFA deserves to be the equality legislation it is and it does not deserve the run around and hand holding with biometric, amnesty, fines and all the controversy surrounding immigration reform per se.

UAFA is not reform legislation and we have been taken on a one year round about of broken promises and unevaluated strategy.

For the LGBT community and especially Americans exiled, bi-national partners in hiding or those separated by borders from their spouses and partners, there could be no piece of legislation more important than the remedial equality legislation UAFA. Imagine straight spouses or fiance’s waiting to reunite through a controversial immigration reform Bill that provides amnesty to undocumented immigrants?

GAY couples in love are NOT undocumented immigrants – they are American citizens and residents who have had their right to sponsor their partners taken away from them!  An existing right – until the unconstitutional DOMA (Defense of marriage Act) deprived same-sex couples of their basic right to parity under the law of the United States.

The marriage of the three imperative Bills is a must and URGENT – it cannot wait for a change in Congress.   Let me add honorable  members of congress, Representatives and Senators, even those of you who support this legislation, where is your courage?  Where is your true leadership?  You cower behind the next election and hope this issue will take a life of its own. It is your courage and conviction we voted for.  I am disappointed in the Senators who should have been at the helm.

Congressman Nadler take back UAFA to the position it so rightfully deserves.

Forget tagging on to the risky and ever elusive Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR.)  Forget Schumer and his biweekly promise of CIR – next week, next month, next year?   This run around sponsored by the one Gay organization that purports immigration equality as its exclusive domain – an ownership of our rights  -  has lost ground, relevance and legitimacy demanding your funding – and the con,  bought into by the rest of the LGBT non-profits and activists  – save for IE’s ability to make referrals of the chosen winning asylum cases to outside pro bono attorneys, all mere servants to Immigration Equality’s next proclaimed success.  Remember they do refuse losing cases – or at least those they judge as losing.

Senators we do not all agree with the Immigration Equality Lobby – THEY DO NOT represent us or what many of us want.

They are a renegade group of self appointed leadership that uses the brain of three paid staffers  and a sleepy Board, who decided to let go of UAFA  with the lie of a dual strategy and now suddenly from their lost lobby are contemplating  what they term as a  dual strategy, by riding the coat tails of others who refused to follow their misguided plan.

But it is too late to recapture the lost time, when we could have remedied the problems with UAFA and provided what Senator Feinstein needed to co-sponsor.  When we could have lobbied other members of the House and Senate touting the difference between remedial legislation instead of immigration reform.

Foolish community relying on the three brains – when there are thousands with different and more compelling ideas.  Why have we, under the so called dual strategy of  immigration equality only attained 11 new supporters in the House and 3 new Supporters in the Senate for UAFA ? – In truth these were attained without any funding through the letter campaign of Out4Immigration grassroots.

Through IE’s sale of CIR, as the only option, they excluded the other non profits who relied on their purported preeminence. Our grass root lobby was also painted into the IE’s CIR corner, as why would any member of Congress sign up for UAFA as a stand alone when IE was lobbying CIR.  The two were in essence mutually exclusive. Yet they had you believe otherwise.

The bi-national community is begging for members of  the House and Senate  to do something immediately to change this reprehensible  inequity. Please if you are reading this and want to help – Contact your representative and ask what they are specifically doing to forward passage of UAFA.

I do not purport to understand the structure, the power, the seniority, the inner working of DC and the HILL – so forgive my nativity in all this – all I can see are those who I still trust and believe in and hope can band together (yet again) and for some kind of coalition to express solidarity and imperative urgent results for separated and discriminated against LGBT partners before the DC tide changes for the worse:

MY TRUST GOES TO:- And Leadership MUST exert from -

1. Secretary of  State Hilary Clinton – because we look bad abroad and have no right to express human rights concerns when our own house is not in order;

2. The President – moratoriums and executive orders such as that granted to the Haitians and widows of deceased soldiers- shows me its possible to do something extraordinary for Americans in exile et al.

3. Reps. Jerold Nadler, Lynn Woolsey, Jackie Speier, Joe Sestak;  Senators John Kerry, Barbara Boxer, Tammy Baldwin, Senator Gilibrand;- all of who have constituents in dire straights, co sponsored, spoken out and in the press as a result.

4. Senator Feinstein - Helped me personally, helped Shirley Tan and introduced PB #867.  Need the Senator to to lead in the requisite amendment that could provide for a description of what would be acceptable to discern contractual nexus such as written contracts, Domestic Partnership registration, Marriage- certificates – not for the sake of same-sex marriage  recognition but purely  as evidence of the critical contractual nexus that seems to be holding up the Senators support of UAFA.

5. Congressional LGBT Caucus – Have spoken out before and please continue to speak for a stand-alone/moratoriums/executive orders. PLEASE!

6. Trust you all in the refusal to succumb to religious arguments – under first amendment – not permitting the establishment of a religion for USA.

7. Immigration Equality LOBBY NOW for UAFA as a stand alone – or BUTT OUT! Stick to you asylum referral work but leave UAFA alone…  You do not ACT for me and any lobbying should proceed with a caveat that you do not represent the bi-national community – you represent your own point of view.   What ever gave you the right to think you represented me?

CALL of the Senators above and push for UAFA and DREAM ACT NOW!

Conspicuous off my list of trustworthy at Senator Chuck Schumer, and Luis Gutierrez – who have already let us down!!!

    i don’t umderstand the gays community of the usa she asks for the same-sex marriage legalization in a coutry where the marriage is holy (although i have a lot of difficulties to see the holy character of a wedding celebration in five minutes front of the elvis prestley’s double ) i thnk that for a conservative contry as your the civil union is the key if i were you i will push for a civil union reconized by the federal level. it’s important to let the states choose if they want it or not but a federal recnization for those who accept it.it’s better to have a legal framework than nothing for exemple france has no same-sex wedding but a civil union (even if it is not perfect) that let a french the right to sponsor his foreign same-sex partner or the right to declare their impots as the same way than an heterosexual couple. the life is more simple and satisfactory like that. you have actualy nothing. has too much will to make it you obtain nothing. and you let a lot of couples in a very bad position. you must fight in the good direction even if you are american you can learn things to the others countries . step by step the world becomes less small.

    I had a very depressing meeting wth an immigration attorney today who was willing to take on responding to an unfocused, boilerplate RFE on an I-129 H-1B petition (this after trying to retain 3-4 others). I shouldn’t have to try and hire somebody (for ungodly sums) who I could have sponsored (if we were straight) 3 1/2 yrs ago – who has been in this country legally for 11 F-ing years with advanced degrees, but no employer willing to sponsor for LPR. I feel for all the people seeking economic opportunity without papers, but I have only raw rage and no words to describe the apartheid that gays live under in the US. And IF my long shot petition is appoved it only allows a final year of the 6th on H-1B status unless labor cert/i-140. We have a 2 year old – a toddler for chrissakes which introduces another layer of complexity when trying to emigrate say to an EU country where gay adoption is not necessarily legal, so no school for your kid! If you have a child then you understand the horror of separating an attached child from a parent. WRONG WRONG WRONG. Slavery days anyone??? The attorney specifically warned about any suggestion to CBP or CIS of being gay. She said they hate gay couples and that increasingly even Canadians are being turned back at the Blaine border crossing here in WA state for NO REASON because she gets the calls from befuddled Canadians trying to visit/work, just in case I thought Canada was some great option. I thought there was a glimmer of hope last year when the Senate Judiciary Committee held that hearing on UAFA. Remarkably nothing happened and I didn’t fully understand the change in strategy until Melanie posted a lengthy blog on IE at the end of Sept ’09 I think. I responded affirmatively to her message and noticed a few days later, to my shock that the entire blog chain had dissappeared with no comment by IE. I started getting more suscipious than before with the rah-rahs about Lady GaGa events and other fundraising that lacked gravitas at a minimum and seemed atrocious to those of us struggling everyday as a binational couple. This combined with their constant focus on asylum cases and blogging about transgender folks (again look at the % in the population here to define immigration priorities especially with limited resources) – great, but bi-national gay couples with a US citizen partner should remain their prime focus- not asylum cases who have an avenue of relief, led to my partial disillusionment. I think what they do is important, but I think its high time to form another 501(c)(3) the existence of which is solely to support GAY binational couples. IE should be an avuncular adjunct, gay immigration legal triage for those caught up in deportation or detention or the like, to a new 501(c)(3) with a targeted mission. I know IE’s attorneys like Aaron Morris are doing great legal advocacy work behind the scenes like at the discussion for those left “out in the cold” at the annual AILA conference in July. But, we need an organization that is dedicated solely to results for gay binational couples – no distractions or IE postings about Hate Crimes bills passing on military appropriations bill – really? Really? Hate crimes don’t affect most gay people – educate yourself on the statistics and futher still the likelihood the FBI will really go after them with what meager budget allowances have been made (esp. if a local prosecutor doesn’t take it up) for this supposed great gain for the gay community (I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to spend all my waking hours thinking about being the victim of a hate crime. This was a nod to the African American community and sort of Matthew Shepherd, but IE made it out to be something big for gay binational couples. I think not. Forget Lady Gaga, Hate Crimes (leave these to HRC) and endless requests for petition drives on change.org or marches here and there – didn’t work for CIR in ’06 and ’07 when both parties were much closer to a now dead CIR. We only have the energy and funds for surgical strikes – not blanket BS. If 250 widows could get a bill passed last year to get their LPR after 60 minutes did a tearjerker about all the servicemen who never came home and left widows with children being deported, I think we are least as compelling a story and certainly no less dramatic with whatever population estimate you want to use for us be it 10,000 or 36,000. We’ve got the little cups and little spoons for human interest as well – little kids crying for their mommies and daddies – think Elian Gonzalez and how public opinion really turned even more against Clinton/Reno when then INS busted the door down. Our mission is equality NOT new rights with CIR for those who didn’t have them to begin with. If you want solid reading on CIR’s prospects and don’t believe Melanie, then read immigration attorney Ron Gotcher’s website. There are many reasons why CIR won’t happen. For example, Dems want an employment commission to oversee all Labor (forget ever hiring a foreign national again) – that’s anathema to Republicans. On both sides, but especially Republicans like Grassley want to get rid of the H-1B program. Our only twisted avenue to pursue in the absence of relief: Employment based immigrant visas (ok, or investment/investor if wealthy) which are such a joke unless you petition under E-B1, but oh wait most won’t qualify under that category either. And what about those visa backlogs under E-B3 and even E-B2 more and more. We all need to stop kidding ourselves by knocking Republicans, Melanie’s correct there, too, – Clinton signed DOMA, DADT, etc. We need like-minded people from both sides of the aisle. Primarily, we need an organization that is ONLY about gay binational couple immigration issues, strategy and action and not the gay fad of the day. There’s enough work there alone to keep us busy. Sign me up. We need to source new allies unaffiliaited with religions – like Indian tech workers or Chinese post-docs – where the question is fairness for people playing by he rules, but getting skewered in the process. Unfortunately, immigration attorneys I talk to don’t even think Agjobs or DREAM act have a chance at passing before mid-term elections in terms of timeframe. Why not push Anderson Cooper, (his boyfriend is Ben Maisani originally from Paris and their to be adopted Haitian orphan) to cover our plight in between the latest Gulf Coast catastrophe on AC360? Thanks Melanie for being a voice of reason and compassion.

    I am standing with you, Mel. You have my full support and solidarity. I agree on all concerns raised. When is the LGBT community waking up realizing that we’re NOT represented by IE. It is IE that represents their own interests and agendas. IE has no backbone, they’re simply riding the wave of convenience, and funding. Their latest conference call on CIR and UAFA topics was a big joke, and it is embarrassing to be supposedly ‘represented’ by them. It’s time for IE to step down, let real activists take over, those that actually care and fight for UAFA. It’s time to take matters in our own hands. Let’s put more pressure on politicians elected to represent THE PEOPLE and NOT their own agendas! It’s time to step it up more than a notch. The LGBT community has tremendous power and enough money to make it happen! Stop funding those that have shown us how little of a risk they’re willing to take to make it right, start supporting those that “talk the talk and walk the walk”! I say to those who believe we’re making a mistake in exposing flaws in our own community (IE), it is unavoidable in order to make a real difference. We must direct our attention to adequate supporters of UAFA. Status quo does not work; IE does not work! Let’s establish a new organization on UAFA representing all. Mel, come up with a strategy along with other grass roots org. such as out4immigration and let’s start the discussion.

    I have to add one more thing. UAFA is a bill that no one has heard of outside of this community. I talked to some people online on a forum about this bill. They have never heard of this bill, but still think this bill makes sense, while there is doubt about the loophole thing. If we had the money and had an ad on front page of newspaper telling people what UAFA is and why it is unfair to binational couples, then people would start talking about it. lol

      AS, I have always considered myself pretty informed about what goes on our community and how we are doing politically, but to tell you the truth I never heard of UAFA either until I became involved in a same sex bi-national relationship. I thought to myself “we can’t be the only ones” and started researching. I had to look really hard to find info about UAFA. More of the community knows about it now I think because it’s been in the news and immigration has been such a big issue, but unfortunately a lot of people, even LGBT people, won’t invest energy in something that doesn’t directly effect them. If they are busy trying to promote ENDA or the repeal of DADT, then they tend to ignore UAFA. That’s why we need to stop fighting for rights in piecemeal. At this point I’m willing to settle for federally recognized domestic partnerships/civil unions, if we can just unit and get all the rights. Lets not demand the butter when we can’t even get the bread.

    I think what Senator Feinstein said was the very truth about why people think UAFA is such a big risk. All those big terms are not well defined. What permanent partner has such loose definition. What can we do to have Immigration to do something about it?

    It’s sad that this community is not that united. I hate that some would jump the boat when something bigger is around. We should all just stick to one.

    I am lucky that I still have 1.5 to 2 years before I have to leave this country. My partner and I are planning on moving to Canada after that. Moving to some other country is a good option for people who are educated or have solid work foundation, But for people like my partner, staying in this country is the best option. I hope this whole mess is gonna be solved by then, then she can continue to live a simple happy live here while I can start working legally.

    • Melanie Nathan

      June 18, 2010 at 6:52 pm

      Thats right! In June 2009 I spoke to immigration equality about working with Feinstein’s office to creat language providing for a “contractual nexus” as a means of proof of the relationship. In other words to ADD to the evidence for Gay couples simply because we could not legally use marriage which straight people can. There is a diffs here between gay and straight and so simply to ask for Immigration equality is misguided. NOBODY had worked on amending this and I guarantee if immigration equality had focused their energy on Senator Feinstein instead of fobbing her off with disdain (my direct experience with IE) we would stand more chance for a stand alone Bill./

      There MUST be a contractual nexus between gay people- simply using the term permanent partners and defining an intention to remain together forever does not CREATE the rights and obligations that a contractual relationship would.To qualify permanent partners could do one of many things that could be written into UAFA as a requirement for immigration:
      1. Enter into a written contract defining rights and obligations they creat between themselves;
      2. Marry in a different jurisdiction and use the marriage certificate not as proof of marriage (because of DOMA that will not fly) but to prove a contractual legal nexus.and
      3. Provide proof of a domestic partnerships which creates a contractual nexus,

      This should have happened in March 3009 when IE knew what Feinstein needed and told me I was wasting my time when I asked what they were doing about it..

      Dear Friends it felt so risky to me to write this – as have all my prior posts – but this time I had to because everything they have done is without proper consultation with brains bigger than theirs, consulting with the other organizations and the thought that if they make strategy alone, they will win! I recall one of their staff telling me personally “I am in it for the win!”

      I , Melanie am in it because I know the terror of the separation from the love and my children- I am in it for the Binationals and if that means drawing attention to those who wield the power then so be it. These people must take responsibility for F&^&^% up because that is what they have done!!!!! Now you will see their BLOG and website making excuses such as gulf oil spill – for changing the CIR climate- BUT I said right from day one 4th June, 2009- when they should have taken the Tan family momentum – instead they decided on their own that immigration reform would be the ONLY way to a UAFA passage. NOW that IE realizes that their 2009 CIR BILL prediction turned into 2010 and 2010 will soon be 2011 – and still NO CIR BILL- except vague promises – they will find excuses to revert to UAFA as if they have already been using it as a dual strategy. Which in truth they have NOT!
      Out4Immigration and other activists have …. but watch soon IE will own the work that we did despite working amidst their ill conceived strategy!!!.
