Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

I have little sympathy for Madame. She travelled ~~out of the country~~ to Puerto Rico for her honeymoon, knowing she overstayed on her visa. Given what had happened in the weeks leading up to them leaving the US last week, she really should have not gotten on that plane.
The reason I sympathize with Madam is the same reason I sympathize with most migrants: they're not doing it to hurt the country they migrate to, they're trying to have a shot at a better life. I totally get what you're saying but that doesn't make her a bad person.
Sir however is a dumbass: he did the very thing the guy he voted for said he would crack down on and now he's bitching and moaning... Well ya know, faces, leopards and all that.
She should have left him when he supported a rapist criminal for President of the country she wishes to join. Face-eating voter by proxy.
Unfortunately, there's a high chance her immigration application depends on her being married to him. My husband and I have been at his process for going on 8 years, and it entirely rests on me sponsoring him. If we were to separate, his whole case would get shut down, and he starts over with an even more expensive and complicated process. We aren't going to divorce because we love each other, but it's still something that his lawyer had to advise us about.
Good point I guess, but it’s clearly a no win situation in this case. I hope you guys make it, but probably your husband shouldn’t ~~leave the country~~ go anywhere near a border for a while.
I suspect people like your husband might even be at risk after naturalization during this administration.
Thank you. This whole system is honestly a clusterfuck. Its been 11 years and we're still fighting. I give immigrants more of a devils advocate than maybe I should because of our experience, but its hard not to because I've seen the shittiness of our current system. Its also why I hate the whole "ThEy ShOuLd JuSt CoMe HeRe LeGaLlY" argument. Its not that easy for so many of them. Its expensive (we're at about 25k with probably more to be spent), overly complicated, and one single misstep sends you back to square one.
Luckily, we aren't near a border, and in a purple state, so it's not as dangerous here as other places. But it's still terrifying with this administration.
Just don’t forget it’s a 100 miles from borders and coasts.
Stay safe, good luck, and if it comes down to it, maybe have your husband keep his original citizenship in case it makes more sense for you to both leave here.
The stupidest thing she did was marry someone who would vote that way. She should have left his ass the second he cast that ballot, if not before.
She went to Puerto Rico. Which is a US territory.
That may be true, but they have been rounding up legal immigrants at the various ports of entry for weeks. I didn't see that the trip was to PR, but either way, they've rounded up several legal immigrants just here in San Ysidro. She knew she was no longer legally here, fucked around and found out.
