They couldn't get citizenship during all those 35 years?
I suggest that you research the process of obtaining a green card and, after that, attaining actual citizenship – including all of the rights one is granted in the meantime, before you make any judgment against these people.
What the government is currently doing, is not only expressly and extraordinarily illegal, it is forbidden by international law. And it’s forbidden by international law because of what the fucking Nazis did. And what the Nazis did, the Trump administration is very much trying to do, in full force.
If you have any doubts about this or questions about this, you clearly have an IQ under 20.
I suggest these two should have done that before coming here illegally.
The United States, starting centuries before it was founded, and continuing for centuries afterward, has been founded on the undebatable strength of industry we have gained from immigration. This entire country is built from immigration – mostly because those who came before committed in massive genocide against the natives of this land.
So when you question the value of any incoming immigrant, just remember that nobody ever had to endure such shitty fascist in dignity until shitty fascists made it a thing.
And, as someone who is continuing the shitty, fascist viewpoint that nearly destroyed the United States in the 1920s and 1930s, you are advocating for that same amount of undemocratic, un-American, absolutely fucking shitty fascist bullshit that, nearly a century ago, we very well knew was shitty, fascist, bullshit that would terror our country apart.
And you are no better, because the only reason you would endorse this shitty, fascist, bullshit is because you are so stupid that you have yet to learn why it is ultimately self-destructive.
Man, this idiot didn't deserve the amount of thought you put into this reply. 😂
A informative video which I recommend most should watch.

Cute, however my mother legally immigrated to the US. I'm eligible for citizenship by descent in the country she came from. I'm not just moving there, I'm applying through proper channels with a formal passport application process. See the difference?
Please go away
Okay, so just trying to understand your point here. So question, if a person (or yourself) immigrated legally, and was a green card holder/legal citizen, you are saying they should have nothing to fear as them being deported would never happen?
This article is about a couple who didn't have any green, gold, platinum or any other card after decades. Even for four years after getting the news. I despise the current administration and hope Cheeto has a debilitating stroke today, but that doesn't mean I'm for illegal immigration. An no, any green card holder shouldn't be disappeared nor college students.
Okay, and are you aware of Mahmoud Khalil the Columbia graduate and green-card holder, held in Louisiana by immigration agents.
I wish I could link to the segment on Last Week Tonight but the episode is not available on YouTube yet. I suggest if you have access to watch it
Relevant lines from that episode.
The Trump administration’s controversial arrest and attempt to deport Columbia University graduate student and pro-Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil this month prompted a viscerally personal reaction from John Oliver in this week’s monologue for Last Week Tonight.
“Maybe you feel different about the Israel-Palestine conflict than Khalil does. Maybe you don’t agree with the things that I’ve said about it,” Oliver said. “But if someone can be deported as a green card holder for speech in support of Palestine, or anything this administration objects to—that should chill you to the bone.”
