It is insane to me that someone's husband or wife can be deported from their spouse's country. That should result in an automatic permanent residency. And no, I don't care if the marriage is for convenience purposes. They usually have to do things to prove it's real to immigration officials.

Yeah, the fact that they're requiring people to be married by yesterday and to have been hiding out in the US for at least a decade before they can even apply to this program (and they're still saying they're doing a case by case review of applications, so not even everyone who meets the requirement will get it) is fucking nuts. It's like they realized they need to do something to win back all the people they pissed off with Biden's attacks on migrants and asylum seekers recently but this nonsense is the best they can do because they live in mortal terror of the idea that they might accidentally give an undeserving brown person legal rights.
Who the hell would attempt this if they would be outting themselves in the process? Like, sorry you didn't pass, say goodbye to your family!?
Nice to see some Biden Ws lately!
I'm not a fan of him in general, but credit where credit's due and everything that makes another Trump presidency less likely for the right reasons is a positive surprise!
Lol, it's finally sinking into his thick skull that continuing the Trump immigration policies isn't actually popular or liable to help him win.
It's a re-election tactic. He knew all along.
