And? If he didn't come to America legally, he has to leave and go back and try the right way. If he was such a stand up guy, he could have done it properly the first time.

This comment is appallingly in bad faith, but more for other readers' sake than yours, I'm going to state that most undocumented immigrants do, in fact, come here legally, then overstay their visas. This is vastly exaggerated rhetoric with no basis in reality. And those who do come here "illegally" often do so either as trafficking victims or fleeing conflict--is this really where you want to hang your hat?

I am an immigrant. I have never been undocumented, but I almost lost status, because USCIS had granted my mother a visa, but not me.
Will people like you ever understand the anguish my mother went through when she learnt that she might have to be torn away from her child a second time, after the first time she went abroad to provide for her family (not just me but her extended family) forced her to miss a year of my early childhood, I wonder.
Would you have been as compassionate as the man who signed off on her paperwork, that she confronted directly to say, "Sir, if you don't give my child a visa, I will turn around and go right back home to my country, I will not go without him"? The man who then promised that he would do everything in his power to make sure she and her child would both be able to stay in the country, and pursue her dream of a better life.
My mother endured traumas, primary and secondary, under a dictatorship that many people did not survive.
Is this where you want to hang your hat?

Overstaying a visa is still illegal entry, and yeah to preempt your net question, fucking deport Elon for Visa Fraud too. Maybe our lawyer friend can go defend his right to be in America too.

So, this is what immigrants should today expect of the United States.

On the one hand, inscribed upon the base of the Statue of Liberty is Emma Lazarus's "The New Colossus":

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

...But in practice, even though the US promised my family a better life, and I have lived here for a quarter of a century singing her anthems, participating in her economy, living nowhere else for the last quarter of a century, if my visa expired tomorrow, I would be considered illegal and un-American.

I can't think of anything more pitiful. Not for myself, but a country so filled with hate she would reject those who look up to her, who have motivation to work hard in a free society such as they've never had the privilege of experiencing before.
Have a good day, Anon, I've just lost a little more faith in humanity.

"if my visa expired tomorrow, I would be considered illegal and un-American."

Literally. Yes. If your visa expired, then it is time for a new visa or to go home. Because if you are here on a visa, this ain't your home.

nayrt

With all due respect, you sound white. And xenophobic.

But go ahead and continue playing the "game" on easy mode, and pretend you accomplished something for completing it. You never have to see things from the viewpoints of anyone forced to play the game on various handicaps or claim any knowledge of such things.

Elon's not going anywhere unless a bunch of folks drag him out by his ankles and stuff him into a sack and load him onto a cargo plane back to South Africa (or one of his rockets into the Sun, I don't really care). Everyone in power is currently too chickenshit to freeze his assets and ban him the proper, legal way. If I had a choice (and yes, I'm aware you didn't present an either/or situation), I'd rather have 50 immigrants whose visas have expired because at least they're paying their taxes and bettering the economy and lives of other Americans, instead of that walking ketamine disaster.

Whether or not something's "legal" isn't always an indication of what is right or decent or acceptable. But something tells me you're well aware of that.

If this is what you believe, you know absolutely nothing about our difficult, ridiculous immigration system, the immigrants who come here, or the absolute devastation it would be to our economy to deport all of them.

Man, between AYRT and your responses, I'd propose if marriage would help you stay. Except I expect the current US presidential ~~admin~~ shitshow is probably extra nasty about spousal visas, especially new ones.

And Trump's proposed rules for proving citizenship would disqualify me anyway; I've got at least one ancestor who came over on the Mayflower, but there was no naturalization ceremony unless murdering some of the native people directly or via disease counts. And he probably didn't even speak English, heh.

If only such standards were upheld to all "illegal" immigrants, like the ones from Ireland and Scotland and other white people. But no. Stop using this as a cover for your racism, nonny.

I hope all your milk curdles forever and you can never taste anything but mold the rest of your life, you MAGA turd.
