    This is a shit ruling that punishes American citizens as much as immigrants, by preventing them from legalizing their wives and husbands. What are you supposed to do if you fall in love with someone who happens to be undocumented? Fuck you, I guess?

      From what i understand it applies to people who entered illegally - maybe before marriage? Now you’re not entitled to a green card unless you leave the country, serve your penance, and reapply.

    Deport Melania, and the anchor baby. Oh, I forgot, immigration law doesn’t apply to Republicans.

      I see what your saying, but I think people don’t realise it actually just doesn’t apply to the rich. I think a number of Republicans are going to be shocked to find out that without money they or someone close to them will definitely be in the firing line.

    Why not. Get a jump start on Trumpian anti-immigration policies. Legal, necessary, whatever! Hope people like understaffed places and the inability to hire for the jobs white people don’t want to do…

      That is actually why the deportation maximalists will fail: the bourgeoisie won’t allow it, because they depend on exploiting immigrants in precarious legal status for their cheap labor.
