This bill will change the laws regarding citizenship for immigrant spouses. Currently, if a citizen dies, their spouse (if not a citizen yet) can be deported if they haven’t been married for more then two years.

This bill will fix this problem. It seems unfair to deport someone just because they miss an arbitrary date. Families have been torn apart by this law and it should be changed.
