This has to be one of the most ridiculous things the regime of Barack Hussein Obama has ever done.  Same Sex couples will now get the same benefits as married couples under US immigration laws. Current application rejections are being put on hold. The whole problem is that there’s no Federal recognition of same sex partners. This is all due to the Department of Justice deciding to to enforce the Defense of Marriage act. This means defacto recognition of Gay Marriages conducted overseas.

The Obama administration has put on hold immigration cases involving married gay couples following the decision to drop its defense of the federal law banning same-sex marriage. 

The move means a foreign national married to a U.S. citizen of the same sex would not automatically be denied immigration benefits. One immigration lawyer said the decision could also give those facing deportation a reprieve. 

“They would not be deportable and they would be eligible for work authorization,” said Christopher Nugent, a longtime immigration attorney who also works on immigration matters with the American Bar Association.

For the record, I have don’t care what someone does in their personal life or their sexual prefernce and I am open to same sex partners sharing benefits. However, that is a state matter, not a federal one. This means now that if an American goes to Spain and marries a person of the same sex, they can now bring them here on a visa as any married couple. This means more backlogs and we all know these same sex couples will get preferences fro the current regime.

Once again, Obama interprets laws as he sees fit.
