Gay Man Being Deported Because Marriage Not Recognized
MYFOXNY.COM - Henry Velandia and Josh Vandiver married in Montville, Connecticut on August 29, 2010. Henry Velandia is in deportation proceedings because the Defense of Marriage Act prevents Josh Vandiver from sponsoring him for residency.
Josh Vandiver was born in Colorado. He graduated from Harvard in 2004 and studied at Oxford before beginning his Ph.D. program at Princeton in political theory.
Henry Velandia was born in Venezuela. He came to America in 2002. He is a salsa dancer and teacher, performed on Univision's Mira Quien Baila, and is the founder of HotSalsaHot dance school.
Vandiver goes before his immigration judge in Newark, N.J., on November 17, 2010.
The couple hopes Valandia's deportation can be delayed until the U.S. Supreme Court rules on the Defense of Marriage Act. In July, a lower court ruled it unconstitutional.
Legal experts say the couple's chances are a long shot.

He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic.

Every time I hear about a guy who thinks he's married to another guy I can't help but laugh.
"If ever this vast country is brought under a single government, it will be one of the most extensive corruption, indifferent and incapable of a wholesome care over so wide a spread of surface. This will not be borne, and you will have to choose between reform and revolution. If I know the spirit of this country, the one or the other is inevitable." - Thomas Jefferson
