    Deport Melania, and the anchor baby. Oh, I forgot, immigration law doesn’t apply to Republicans.

      I see what your saying, but I think people don’t realise it actually just doesn’t apply to the rich. I think a number of Republicans are going to be shocked to find out that without money they or someone close to them will definitely be in the firing line.

      From what i understand it applies to people who entered illegally - maybe before marriage? Now you’re not entitled to a green card unless you leave the country, serve your penance, and reapply.

        I guess it closes a loophole, but to my understanding, more Mexicans have been leaving the country than arriving over the last decade. Perhaps that has changed since Biden took over.

              They’re goading you - trying to get you to call immigrants Mexicans so they can call you racist. Mexican immigrants are the largest group at the southern border, but still well below half of all who enter/attempt to enter there.

  • This is a shit ruling that punishes American citizens as much as immigrants, by preventing them from legalizing their wives and husbands. What are you supposed to do if you fall in love with someone who happens to be undocumented? Fuck you, I guess?
