I like how the dunderheads itt repeatedly spout "he's a CRIMINAL" and "the law is the law" as if it's completely unheard of for a law to be shitty. I already know how you chucklefucks would be acting during the Civil Rights era

Not really the same. Its a dumb law but he did little (obviously) to become a citizen

Why didn't Obama make this man a citizen?

Was too busy bombing kids in the middle east, sending representatives to a thug's funeral, & would have deported him anyway

I'm really confused

My friends mom (a Mexican immigrant) literally just took a class at a library for like two or three months and then took the test and was able to become a citizen no problem like 10 years ago.

Did they change something or what?

I fucking hate Trump. Your sarcasm noted, this has nothing to do with who I voted for. This lazy asshole did nothing to guarantee his position here with his legal family. Its like he decided our laws dont apply to him or his douchebag haircut. So fuck him. He wont be playing my emotions.

Because the US immigration system is a very convoluted process. It takes longer than 10 years on average

As an immigrant who hasn't been to my home country in over 20 years, my thoughts on the people defending this would earn me my second ever moderation. The immigration system in America is fucked. My aunt works for the immigration agency in Nigeria and it took her several years just to get a VISA to visit us for a summer. It takes years to do anything under this system and when you are here without some random papers, there is a constant threat that you will be separated from your family and sent to a country you have no relationship with.

Just because something is a law doesn't mean it makes sense, makes people safer, or is just. Violating that law is certainly no basis to fucking cheer on draconian consequences.

Someone's homeland is not determined by where they were born. It's about where they are a citizen in all meaningful senses. This guy is an American in every meaningful way, he was simply not lucky enough to have that immense privilege handed to him at birth like most of the people cheering this did. This guy did absolutely nothing wrong and none of you would have done anything different in his situation. If a law is punishing good people and bad people alike for purely formalistic reasons, then it's a garbage law that should be attacked, not defended.

It's disgusting to see people who have never had to interact with the beast that is the immigration system make glib statements about it. It's disgusting that so many of you lack empathy to the point that you would defend this or even joke about it.

Keep in mind that the posters saying this are also the same people who 60 years ago would be saying "Well if we treated the blacks as equals who would we get to do the cheap labor?". Just do what I do and tag them so you can keep track of the closet racists.

On a personal level, I feel bad for the guy, but this is just a pity story to push a narrative. The people running the story couldn't actually care less. We have laws, and those laws need to be enforced. There's probably a better way to handle cases like this, and there are probably of plenty of cases that should have higher priority. At the end of the day, he's here illegally and has seemingly not taken the proper steps in two decades, so it's his fault in the end. If we feel bad for every single individual case, the problem will never be solved.

I don't know why this is even up for debate.

He came in the United States illegally. He should've known that before getting married and having children

he broke the law by coming in the USA illegally. It's the LAW, and he broke the law. All ICE is doing is enforcing the law.

He can always reunite with his wife and kids in Mexico so it's not like they are breaking the family apart.

Because as opposed to what Trump says, it is actually hard to get legal migration status. Of course he still blames legal immigrants for the problems and for "stealing" jobs anyway

except he broke the law by entering the united states illegally. If he wanted citizenship, he should've just applied for a green card like every body else.

I was born in the philippines and emigrated to the united states when i was 4 years old. My parents had to wait 5-6 years to get their visa to come here. After 10 years of staying here, i became a naturalized citizen. it's unfair for a former immigrant such as myself who had to wait a long time to get his visa whereas there are people entering the country illegally. It's a slap in the face from someone who had to wait to get their visa.

There are almost no options to become a legal resident without leaving the country for the duration. Military is the only one I know of.

He didn't do anything other than stay in his country. He was brought here as a minor and this place is home to him. Are you suggesting that he should have voluntarily left to go to a country he had no relationship with? I'm an immigrant and I had to wait a while to be legalized too, nothing about that experience leads me to believe that makes sense. This guy being kicked out is a slap in the face for justice and fairness. I'm not trying to invalidate your experience or tell you that you don't have the right to feel angry with people who voluntarily jump the line while you had to wait. But this guy didn't do that.

Moreover, you keep repeating that it's the law that this guy had to be deported like that's the be all end all. The law itself is corrupt as it has been throughout American history. A rule being on the books does not mean its worth the paper it's printed on. It can still be unjust and worthy of being disregarded in certain circumstances. Using the law as a reason why you MUST take certain unjust actions is a dark dark pathway as has been proven over and over.

He had atleast 2 decades to become a legal citizen but did not, sounds like he was not trying very hard.

based on what i read in the first page, i certainly hope @HypnoCoosh doesn't break a single law, under any circumstances, for any reason, ever. because, after all, he dearly believes in a strict following of the law, to the letter, with absolutely zero exceptions. under no circumstances should any law, regardless of intent or application to the current situation, ever be broken.

i bet he literally never speeds (even 1MPH over when literally nobody else is around, because that's illegal), never jaywalks and most certainly doesn't spit on the sidewalk. and, depending on the state he's in, he may not even engage in sodomy, which includes oral sex in some cases, because dammit, that's the letter of the law and it must be obeyed.

now he has no choice but to immigrate the right way

It's a year to get a green card. The green card can be revoked and you can get deported if you commit a crime and the judge is having a bad day. The green card, if you don't know what that is, is basically a visa with no expiration date. You're not a citizen if you have one, you just get to "visit" here forever or until you are deported or extradited.

Actually becoming a citizen looks like this:

dude, he was given a deportation order years ago. SO he knew for a while he was going to be deported.

yeah, it's not his fault he entered illegally(it's his parents or whoever brought him here illegally) but it's NOT a mitigating circumstance for him to stay in this country. HE'S STILL HER ILLEGALLY and the govt. decided to deport him.

it's the law. If you don't intend to respect the law, then society would be in chaos
