Dear Governor Schwarzenegger –
As a foreign-born citizen, I’m sure you take an interest with how people come to this country.
On Friday, U.S. Marine Cpl. Mario Ramos-Villalta who earned a Purple Heart during one of his two tours serving with the U.S. Marines in Afghanistan, finally received American citizenship barely a week after CNN told his story.
The same Department of Citizenship and Immigration Services routinely denies citizenship applications to the partners of gay Americans.
It really says something about America when we let in people who fight for us but not the people who love us. It’s kind of hard to say that we’re a peace-loving nation, isn’t it?
Yours,
