If you're trying to do it right, go to the back of the line.

American citizens who are trying to abide by the rules to get their non-citizen spouses and families into the U.S. have pretty much been told to take a hike by the Obama Administration.

In 2012, Obama instructed the Citizenship and Immigration Services to concentrate on deferring deportation for illegals at the expense of getting green cards to those who are trying to come here legally. What it amounts to is this: if you're here illegally, he's concerned about your well-being; however, if you have a wife and children in another country (as does Andrew Bachert), you've been sent to the back of the line.
