And I'm guessing he's IN FACT undocumented, so we don't really know how old they are, do we? |
Where is this "line" that you speak of? |
https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/immigrate/immigrant-process.html You file your paperwork and then you wait. |
From the website you linked: To be eligible to apply for an immigrant visa, a foreign citizen must be sponsored by a U.S. citizen relative, U.S. lawful permanent resident, or a prospective employer, with a few exceptions, explained below So no, someone doesn't just file their paperwork and wait. They need to be lucky enough to have a family member who is a citizen or permanent relative, or have a job offer from an employer. |

There's a reason for those rules. It's to ensure the safety of the American people and also to ensure that individual isn't a burden to the American people. |
That may or may not be true. But it also makes anyone who uses the "get in line" rhetoric an uniformed idiot. |
It is common for legal immigrants' family reunion to take up to 5 years., I know that for a fact. Because there a 'line, - immigration services get to the case when they get to it, basically. There are types of visas that are urgent and not urgent, and pretty limited immigrations services workforce. An uniformed idiot is you. |
Was he trying to leave the US - when his kid is jail waiting for the trail? Why? |
Family is pooling money. Plus the attention the lawyer gets is free advertising, so he's probably not charging illegal immigrants $500/hour. |
No, he initially came here illegally. |
Incorrect. Fee payment arrangements typically are not deemed to be a confidential communication subject to protection. |
oh i thought he's captured while crossing the border (to mexico). |
Obviously so - while his #1 priority is to remove criminal aliens as Obama did, he has simply expanded the many priorities for DHS to include aliens with outstanding deportation orders (ie - existing warrants). But a normal "arrest warrant" has a much lower standard than a final deportation order. An alien with a final order has already had a chance to request relief from DHS. Then they get a full administrative law hearing and appeal rights (provided they show up to court. Many simply ignore it). Obama ignored final deportation orders. President Trump is simply enforcing existing law. |
Poor illegals who can't speak English knew to and managed to call the highest profile criminal defense lawyers in the Beltway? And a trio of money-hungry $500/hr lawyers dropped everything and jumped on TV for them? Remarkable!
