I admit I know very little about immigration law, but how is it that people married to American citizens are under threat of deportation? I thought that marriage to an a citizen, if not a path to outright citizenship itself would at least get you lawful permanent resident status.

If you entered illegally, you're not eligible for a green card, even if you marry a US citizen.

Googling suggests you still have to apply and if you entered the country illegally you better get an immigration attorney.

I wasn't expecting to get ponied on that one.

It all depends on your status independent of the marriage. If you're an illegal alien and you're married to a citizen you're still 100% eligible for deportation. You have to apply for a path to citizenship. The default position is deportation but you can apply for them to look at your situation and if they determine that deporting your spouse would be a hardship on you and therefore it's in the citizen's best interest that the illegal immigrant stays. Then they can put them on a path towards citizenship. It's all tentative though and there's no guarantee of anything.

It leads to odd situations where a marriage between two doctors had to move to Canada because the wife was deported because they determined that two doctors living in Canada wouldn't be a hardship, but another couple of low skill workers who had one partner have diabetes or some other medical condition getting citizenship. It's also a make or break situation where people have to determine if they want to roll the dice where they might get deported or remain in the shadows because if you apply for for the hardship waiver and don't get it you get the boot.

An even slower pony. Speaking of which I can't imagine the questions they'd ask now to verify that a marriage was real for someone to get a green card. The Trump IC must be asking all sorts of crazy questions to try and trip couples up.

There was another story a few days ago about a Trumpkin lady who married an illegal immigrant and was aghast to find he'd been deported.

Is it the one that was posted here before? Because he was in immigration purgatory for a bit but as of yesterday, he's gone.

I will never tire of posting this tweet:

On the plus side at least it means the chances of her breeding have been cut.

EDIT. Not true, damn her for already reproducing.

If you guys remember when Lawfare canceled their April Fool's Day joke:

Turns out they were fearful for good reason! Fake State Department diplomatic cable created as April Fool's joke gets State Department furious

Is the person running NBC Charlotte an immigrant?

Bunch of Stormfront members are probably spamming it all over the area.

Elite. Dr. Evil would be amused.

I can see Trump sitting there on Apr 1st, confused about which option to pick.

What percent of Trump voters would sign that letter?

25% is my serious guess. If trolling I'd say 50.

The grammar and spelling in that letter are poor. Some of the phrasing doesn't seem common: "nation builder for white America"? Maybe it wasn't written by a native speaker. False flag or written by a paticularly stupid dumbass?

Lol maybe its just because i went on a huge Carlin bender but this comment makes me laugh.

Extreme right-wingers notoriously lack the ability to spell, put words together coherently, or do any kind of nice-looking art or graphic design. They're pretty much bad at using their brains (kinda like 45*). Go check out any of those extreme right wing news sites to see what I mean.

Entirely possible, given that we're talking about Trump supporters.

Airbnb host cancels reservation on a customer at last minute & leaving her stranded, telling her it's because she's Asian, foreigners aren't welcome, and she's "why we have Trump"

100% non-native speaker.

Solid 50th percentile writing for native speakers.

So what's the reason why they don't report the names of the racist *******s in situations like these?

I can't think of a reason either.

I mean they wouldn't have gone to the media with this if AirBnB handled it themselves. They have a non-discrimination policy but they aren't very clear about how they'll enforce it in their terms of service. Perhaps they only gave the guy a slap on the wrist.
