The wife of a soldier missing in Iraq could face deportation, her lawyer told a television station.

Army Spec. Alex Jimenez, who has been missing since his unit was attacked by insurgents in Iraq on May 12, had petitioned for a green card for his wife, Yaderlin, whom he married in 2004, Boston's WBZ-TV reported Tuesday.

Their attorney, Matthew Kolken, said the woman illegally entered the United States from the Dominican Republic in 2001. Her husband's request for a green card and legal residence status for her alerted authorities to her situation, Mr. Kolken said.

The attorney said his client would not be eligible for a green card under normal circumstances, but he is seeking a hardship waiver for her. If she were to have to leave the U.S., she would have to wait 10 years before reapplying.

2. This is so wrong on so many levels.

:cry: What in the HELL is wrong with our country?! I don't recognize this country anymore. Her husband was serving in Iraq...whatever happened to "support the troops?" Shouldn't that include their families?

3. Free Scooter Libby, free Scooter Libby...Good Grief,

what is wrong with this country. This situation is revolting. I guess it shows that the military and our government do not car one iota about people. Just another soldier, just another wife left behind. I am appalled.
