I wouldn't even call my comments pro Trump. Just not anti Trump. I don't really care about the orange man too much to be honest.

It is my hope that, if I'm patient enough, Lemmy will become a diverse platform where people can share different thoughts and ideas without it quickly devolving into hyperbole and name calling. That probably sounds foolish, but we'll see.

Yes. Let me break it down for you. My comment was meant to imply the majority of Lemmy will have a meltdown. Not every single person who uses the platform. But you already knew that.

Because you're sending a message that it's ok to break the law as long as you eventually are in compliance with the law. This is a complicated situation, especially when you have a wife/husband and children involved. I won't pretend to have all the answers. Obviously no one is happy when a family of many years is separated, but this person knew what they were doing was wrong (from a legal perspective), and did it anyway. Just like breaking any other law, there are consequences for our actions.

I get that though. If a country endorses that, you're inviting more people to break the law, get in the country, then apply for citizenship.

Also, what happened to green cards? A non-legal citizen marries a legal one, and eventually they get citizenship. Is that not a thing anymore?

Well, I guess you better hurry up and become those things.

That could have happened in specific states anytime in the last 2.5 years. That's not specific to the next four years.
