    Yeah, I’m with you. And there are more stipulations than in the headline. They had to have been married yesterday or earlier (to prevent a bunch of people running off to get married just for this), have been in the country for ten years or more, never been deported, and some other stuff. It seems like a reasonably basis for saying it’s better to let the person stay legally than split up the family.
