Deportation Imminent? Gay Couple in San Fran Loses Immigration Battle

Anthony Makk and Bradford Wells Lose Immigration Battle Against Obama Admin

Anthony Makk (left) and Bradford Wells (right)

Remember Henry Velandia, the Venezuelan man who faced deportation, but successfully petitioned the U.S. government to remain in America as the legal spouse of American citizen Josh Vandiver?

While the Obama administration stepped in to halt Velandia’s deportation, another couple in a similar situation may not be so lucky.

Anthony Makk, an Australian citizen who married an American — Bradford Wells — seven years ago, also faces deportation. The couple got married in Massachusetts and have lived together for the past 19 years.

In a case that paints a stark contrast to Velandia’s, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has denied Makk’s request to be considered for permanent residency. The federal agency has apparently pointed to the Defense of Marriage Act, a 1996 law that defines marriage as an institution between one man and one woman. The San Francisco Chronicle reports:

The decision was issued July 26. Immigration Equality, a gay-rights group that is working with the couple, received the notice Friday and made it public Monday. Makk was ordered to depart the United States by Aug. 25. Makk is the sole caregiver for Wells, who has severe health problems.

One reason this case is intriguing stems back to the July decision that allowed Velandia to stay in the America. Attorney General Eric Holder has publicly stated that the Obama administration will no longer support the Defense of Marriage Act in court, yet the situation surrounding it is somewhat complicated.

Anthony Makk and Bradford Wells Lose Immigration Battle Against Obama AdminAlthough the administration has decided that the law is unconstitutional, House Republicans have hired outside counsel to defend it. In response, the administration claims that it will continue to enforce the law, but will evaluate individual cases. Critics claim that this evaluation simply isn’t happening. The Chronicle continues:

The agency’s decision cited the Defense of Marriage Act as the reason for the denial of an I-130 visa, or spousal petition that could allow Makk to apply for permanent U.S. residency. “The claimed relationship between the petitioner and the beneficiary is not a petitionable relationship,” the decision said. “For a relationship to qualify as a marriage for purposes of federal law, one partner must be a man and the other a woman.”

Makk claims that he has never been in the country illegally. He gave up a career in Australia to be with Wells and then started a business in San Francisco, investing in rental property so that he would meet visa mandates. According to Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s office, the congresswoman has contacted immigration officials on the couple’s behalf.

It is likely that Makk and Wells will seek to employ last-ditch attempts to ensure that Makk can stay within U.S. borders. While moving to Australia is an option, doing to would cut Wells off from his health insurance, which he desperately needs as he struggles with AIDS and relies on Makk to provide him with care.

      Note that the administration will evaluate it on a case to case basis….Australians tend to be independent and probably will not vote Democrat. The Venezuelan on the other hand provided valuable press for them and will probably be grateful and dependent. I have a problem with the Dept of Injustice only applying the law where they see fit–between this, the NBPP case they let go and the instructions not to go after anyone black in voter fraud or intimidation, the ATF scandal, etc., and let‘s not forget Holder’s many offenses before serving under Obama—enough is enough. They have to go.

    You guys really don’t read well at all. Stop drinking and put down your pipes so you can understand this: Neither man is here in the USA illegally. Both of them are legal. It’s very easy to be homophobic, as so many of you are proving. It’s also very hard to force your feeble little minds to quiet down enough to receive any neutral information about how being gay is not a lifestyle or choice. It’s actually how God made many people. Of course, if you admit that it’s not a lifestyle, then you can’t rant and rave like idiots against them. So of course it’s GOT to be a choice, otherwise you are wrong. What?…..Are you scared YOU may be gay? Is that why you gay-bash two men whom you never met? Point at them and maybe no one will notice the other fingers that are pointing back at you. How feeble your spirits are, how barren and hard is the ground of your souls. Shame is the only emotion you should be feeling. Shame for the shallowness of heart you have demonstrated here tonight. Go back to your holy books and look deeper inside them. Meditate until Love grows enough within your hearts that it chokes out the darkness you call light. There is so much more about God than any of you even attempt to understand. It is all too easy to be shallow in spirit.

      Homosexuality is a choice. This is just a fact. Your genes CANNOT determine you to be gay as no such gene exist. This idea goes back to 1992 or 93 when geneticist Dean Hamer proposed the idea of a gay gene. It was properly scrutinized until 1998 when he admitted that no such gene was found. We have a council for former gays known as “Exodus” or i believe the name is something like that. Basically it’s an org of former gays whom turned straight. Or went from straight to gay and then back to being straight. But all organism are born straight because of an instinctive need to reproduce.

      If homosexuality is not a choice, but a genetic defect, then we must advance science to the point where they can pin point that gene, and allow a “modern” couple to decide to abort the defective child. I’m sure all those Democrats that wanted Trig Palin aborted, for having a genetic problem, would agree.
      We must start a telethon like MD did, with an old comedian star to run it, to get the funds to wipe out homosexuality.

      God made murderers and pedophiles and torturers and suicide bombers and those who practice bestiality and nymphomaniacs and adulterers and polygamists, too. All are children of God. All are responding to urges that they would consider “innate.” That doesn’t mean He approves of their behavior.

      And, whatever you think of the morality of the situation, sexual attraction and sexual intercourse have an obvious biological function. In anyplace but the “Emperor’s New Clothes” world we now live in, the urge to imitate intercourse with a person lacking the complementary parts is an obvious dysfunction. The imitation of “marriage” by persons of the same sex is an affront to rational people.

      Also, if it was genetic the **** gene would have died out thousands of years ago due to the so called evolutionary process…if evolution is true then homosexuals shouldnt exist.
      Yes some people are born bent toward effeminate behavior but that does not mean they have act out on it. I have a christian friend who is in this situation but he will not partake of the homosexual lifestyle because his relationship with God is a thing he treasures more than sin.
      I know of a man in Hawaii who died of AIDS and was drug addict. Before he died he had become friends with some christian teenagers who ministered to him. His death crushed these kids who cared about him so much they rushed the hospital is Honolulu to pray for him….God raised him from the dead….no longer a homosexual or addicted to drugs.
      I say all of that to say this; there is a spiritual component to this life that liberals and most conservatives do not understand. If you could rip away the veil between here and the other side and see what was really happening in the spiritual realm it would change your view of things…unless you are a die hard liberal!

      I think the term homophobic is misleading. A phobia means being afraid of something, but I on the other hand do not fear the gay. I JUST DON’T LIKE THE BEHAVIOR. I will always be civil to a known gay because no matter what, we are all God’s children. However, whether it’s a so-called choice or genetic defect, it’s creepy and unnatural period. “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” should have been a national policy and not just for the military.

      This man from Australia has remained in the USA for the past several years legally, yet has now remained past his allotted visa time and has been instructed he needs to depart the USA by August 25, 2011. Though he has an alleged relationship with a second man, he has failed to meet the qualifications provided by the USA for a foreign national to maintain residence within the country.

      Regardless of any other facts, these are the facts that require deportation. @IFTRUTHBEKNOWN, I don’t see how the fact that he is “gay via genetically mutation,” your words not mine, has anything to do with the law. I suggest you learn the legal system…in fact, I would love to help.

      And just to satisfy the cheap thrill effect the liberals must get by us straight guys making such a fuss:
      Isn’t it hilariously ironic that his loving life partner that he cares so much for has obviously “cheated” on him so much that he has contracted AIDS.

Homosexuality has proven to be especially prevalent among apes and monkeys. Homosexuality is in the genes, just as heterosexuality is in the genes. It’s not in will power or choice.

      Yeah, I used to think that too, then I had this parakeet. I actually had a bunch of parakeets, and Padget was the smartest of the bunch, so I REALLY wanted him to breed. But Padget paid zero attention to the girls and was constantly hitting on Abner Periwinkle, who was not only straight, but was, as most parakeets prefer to be, in a bonded relationship. Never did get him to breed, but he did eventually form a bond with a guy named Harvey so I gave him to Harvey, who lived in San Francisco.

      No joke.

      And, I’ve known a lot of gays since then, and while being gay is not so painful now as it was when I was growing up, I can not imagine anyone choosing it.

      My two younger brothers were once having an argument about this issue. My youngest brother was saying it was a choice, a perversion, and my middle brother was saying no one would choose that. Youngest brother said, “God wouldn’t do that to someone!” Middle brother said, “God doesn’t micromanage.”

      I wouldn’t ever be fool enough to participate in an argument with either of my younger brothers as both are ALWAYS right, so I was certainly doing my best to stay out of that one. In the end, I think it’s true that we are all given burdens in life. God does hear and answer prayers, but sometimes his answer is ‘no’ or ‘wait’ and I suspect my middle brother is right; God is no micromanager. He could… but sometimes things just happen, and those things become learning experiences, a part of Life.

These two men have proven themselves capable of truly loving one another and keeping their marriage vows. Not many christians can say that. ……Divorce rate is rising as we speak……..

Let’s see you “come out” to your families/friends and be ostracised, spit on, beat, hated because you are what others believe you shouldn’t be.

      Dear Abby,
      This social degradation began long before Obama. “We the People” care about the invasion of this filthy and disease ridden behavior because it goes against everything natural. What these people need is psychiatric help more than simple cowardly acceptance by society. Our constitution guarantees all of us LEGAL Americans EQUAL justice under the law but these discusting excuses of human beings demand to be MORE EQUAL than the rest of us. That also goes for all the other groups out there with big anti-American mouths. They are an extreme minority but with very big mouths and a Democrat party and a media that promotes them at all costs. If they want to live that way, fine, but don’t force that gay religion on me.

      ROM12TWO – You are right on and you are right about almost everything except one. They are out to seek to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act by using this situation to manipulate the general population and gain sympathy. No matter how you package Homosexuality the truth prevails. It is an abomination against God’s natural order for humans and is not biologically or genetically determined (See Romans 1:18-32).

      The only thing you may be wrong on is, if your moniker stands for Romney in 2012, you have bet on the wrong horse. You might want to look up his record while Governor of Massachusetts.

    P.S. reading the sheer hatred does not make me think well of Blazers who forget what Christ said-love one another as I have loved you, and love your neighbor as yourself. He did not specify to only love perfect people, He said everyone. Nuff said Christians.

      As we are now, hatred is a perfectly normal and necessary emotion, without it greed and selfishness would absolutely overcome everything. Go ahead and love a greedy man, he may flip you a few pennies to appear less greedy but he will still try and take everything you have.

      As far as “love your neighbor as yourself”, some would say the “self” is nothing more than a bunch of images and memories stored up in the brain. In order to love your neighbor AS YOURSELF, your body has to give up the images and exist as a physical presence living in the physical world. See if your body can experience thought as just sound, it’s not “yourself thinking” it’s just sound in the head, not your sound, not you, not the spirit, just sound, no different than sound in the environment.

      The Bible is Extremely Offensive because it excludes certain people with certain behaviors. If I offend some people with righteousness, so what.

      Agreed Jenny. I do not support gay marriage, and I am a strong proponent of deporting those here illegally. However, the vile and hatred shown in many of the posts here is not representative of what I hoped fellow Blazers were all about.

      Hey Jenny,
      First of all, there are no perfect people. Where in the Bible did you find that? And just because I love my neighbor doesn’t mean that I must accept his or her sinful behavior as normal and ok. I can offer my neighbor help to repent from his sinful ways (after all it’s my Christan duty to HELP, not force, people to free themselves from thier bondage to sin, which, by the way, is what Jesus meant by, “love one another as I have loved you”). He offered them repentance from thier sin then forgave those who did repent. But the final decision to repent from that sin is ultimately up to the individual. Everyone is born a sinner. You, me, EVERYONE! Since you‘re trying to quote the Bible to use it against us believers then here’s one for you, “EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW” !!! Including yours! I hope you can ultimately find your way home. JESUS LOVES YOU and so do I !!!

      “Everyone is born a sinner”

      This is a fallacy, we are not born sinners or sinful. Sin is taught to children out of ignorance or through deceit or by the example of those that surround them. We are all born sinless, sin only creeps it dirt head in when were are able to distinguish the truth of what is right or wrong and chose the wrong. Christ taught that we should be more like children especially when it comes to faith…Why is that? Are they just more gullible or just more pure of hearts?

    While this entire story is disgusting, the part that I find most despicable is the administrations willingness to step in and override our Constitution and immigration laws when it comes to a hispanic in the same situation, but does nothing for this guy, I believe. just because he’s white. I don’t want illegals here no matter what color they are, but obviously, this racist administration only wants to enforce those laws on white people.

    Marriage is between a man and a women, PERIOD! If people want to live a heathens life then let them do it. but. without the legitimisation of it. Marriage came from God, not man.

      There is something screwy about que*rs wantimg to be married. like hetro couples. Some sort of guity feeling that is removed through the legitamacy of the sacrament of marriage. Que*rs KNOW they are wrong with their actions. So they want to legitimize their relationship with the institute of marriage. that’s that.
