[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So that means you are a legal immigrant with a green card. Unless they also want green card holders kicked out? [/quote]

I honestly don't know.  I fear they think we married for citizenship even though I never went through our marriage. Or maybe they lump me into the people they claim to hate because as a child I was here undocumented and they can't accept that. I'm truly not sure without a conversation with them. I thought we could at least have one not that they would give us the silent treatment [/quote]

I'm an immigrant myself, a citizen after 20 years, and know immigration laws pretty well. Nobody gets deported for running a red light 20 years ago. This is just nonsense. I support ICE. Fully. I'm sick and tired of illegals sucking up resources just because they can. Your ILs are not picking up your message, because it's confrontational. They don't know immigration laws, just like you don't know immigration laws of say, Bulgaria. Not sure what you want from them? A promise you'll not get deported? They cannot give you that. If you used any resources before becoming a citizen, it may become a problem. They don't know what to say, because no matter what they say, it seems to be a problem for you. It's not their fault you were here undocumented as a child. In most countries, in fact in all I know, and I've lived and had long-term residence in 10 different ones, you'd get kicked out as soon as you're found out. I'm sure you had a better life here than in your home country, or you'd not have arrived here undocumented (and I hate this word, because you sure have documents somewhere). And if you hate it here or think you're entitled to stay no matter what and cannot, you know where your home country is. [/quote]

You are completely out of the loop, PP. I talk to immigration lawyers NOW, who tell me their clients HAVE been detained for entirely outrageous reasons. They get them out, but not before they suffer weeks, sometimes months, in the most horrendous detention conditions. And those are the lucky people who are rich enough to retain lawyers, and who were actually allowed to call a lawyer. A lot can't even do that, because ICE puts them on a fast track to deportation without due process, WHICH IS ENTIRELY ILLEGAL.

The government is not actually implementing immigration laws! It is detaining and deporting people illegally.

Well, I'm literally in the immigrant community and don't know a single person who has been detained and deported. I'm certainly not out of the loop. Stop distributing fear. It's impossible to detain and deport people illegally here since the lawyers are all lined up. You really think any other country would spend months in courts over some illegal? Allow me to laugh. Like this woman who is an "activist" in Colorado, was hiding in church, completely illegal, and they cannot get rid of her! [/quote]

Just because you don't know anyone personally doesn't mean it isn't happening. What an ignorant way of thinking. I live in Chicago and I can quickly name 5 people who have someone close to them who has been detained by ICE for nothing more than having brown skin. Some of them are US citizens (born here) and harassed for no reason other than having the wrong color skin. [/quote]

That's the whole point of immigration enforcement: you detain people and ask to see their documents. It's like showing your driver's license and insurance to police when stopped at a traffic stop. Maybe people with brown skin should not be stopped in traffic either? They should be allowed to speed and run a red light without any consequences, because later on it might affect their immigration status? Stop spiraling. In all other countries you have to carry your ID with you at all times and you know it. I traveled for 30 years with different visas in my passport (2 passports full) and they were checked upon an entry to any other country, often I had to show I had enough money to support me during my stay. The fact that the immigration laws here were not enforced for 30 years (for political gain) doesn't mean you can now live here "undocumented"  or on "temporary protected status" forever. This entitlement is absurd. [/quote]

USA also needs a national registrar and ID provided upon birth in the country. Like most other countries. Different than SSN. [/quote]
