Abstract

I am pleased to offer testimony for this UAFA hearing showing that, like their different-sex married counterparts, the nearly 36,000 same-sex bi-national couples living in the U.S. are in stable relationships, raising children, and making positive contributions to the economic and social life of this country. I commend Senator Leahy for advocating for inclusion of gay and lesbian bi-national families through comprehensive immigration reform.
