My wife is an alien, not the illegal type. One that has payed the money and followed all the rules and has one more big payment and pass a test to finally be called an American. After you hear her story though one might ask what the? My wife was born in Germany the product of an American GI and his German Fraulein. He was gone before she was born. Her Mom found another GI and married. My wife's Step Dad never adopted her but he never denied her. At the age of eight she came to this country and was just another little girl. She lived around the country and lived with Step Dad going off to Veitnam and all the trials and tribulations of a military kid. Well she married at seventeen to a soldier. And she took on the role of a soldier's wife. When she got back to Germany she had an advantage over others being able to benefit from being German married to a soldier. All she needed then was an Alien Card or "Green Card". Her first marriage came to and end at Ft Benning. There we met and married. Again she was American yet she wasn't. She was German. I always joked with her daughters that their Mom was an alien. Unfortunely our marriage only lasted eleven years and ended in Germany during the first Gulf War. This time though my then ex stayed in Germany. Her life was then taken over by her role and job as midwife to American soldiers...The wall of our basement is covered by collages of "her kids". Her youngest daughter had also joined the Air Force which made me happy since all of the Dads in her were Army. Someone got smart. She got stationed in Germany and all seemed well. Then a trip to Iraq for her daughter and handling soldier's kids as they also went to Afghanastan and Iraq the world had changed. Well my Wife's daughter got out of the Air Force and returned to the States my wife sat and asked what the hell am I doing here? Her Mom in the States, her two daughter and grand kids in the states. My wife wanted to come home. This was long after 9 11 and her green card was taken from her because of that event. And all her work with the American Military and her ties to the States, Mom, Kids, and Grandkids meant nothing. Thats when I asked her if she wanted to get married. We had stayed friends after all these years. So we married and started the paper work. Its been a three year process with ICE. And its cost over three thousand dollars and we are faced with the last challenge of the test and being granted citizenship. Moby after watching a husband go off to war for America, taking care of American kids while their parents go off to war and living through her own Daughter go off to war she gets a bit mad when she hears about the president's aunt and all the other BS about immigration. Moby my wife has never taken welfare and she's paid her taxes. She laughed and she's cried with this country.....Moby she understands what a mess we are right now...She understands what America is and what it means. I only wish and pray that my fellow countrymen were as American as my "German" wife. yeah baby
