So, a couple of things… Yes, their fault for being Trump supporters…
But also… She’s 45, she came here when she was 10. She’s had THIRTY-FIVE YEARS to become a US Citizen.
It does take an insane amount of time to work through the citizenship process, but it doesn’t take 35 damn years. Especially not after marrying a US citizen.
Source: Friend of mine did it based on refugee status from Lebanon. My daughter-in-law did it on a student basis from Burma after marrying our son.
naturalized are next “on the list” after they finish dealing with birthright citizens.
My parents moved to the US from Canada back in '98, became US citizens, and I’ve been hounding them almost daily at this point to come back home to Canada. At this point I don’t care if I go into massive debt providing for them or if I have to get a second job just to be able to afford a place to rent with more than 2 bed rooms.
I’m just so terrified every day that ICE is going to detain one of them or both. I just can’t get through to them that they need to leave the US and come back to Canada right now.
The levels of dumb and laziness on her part say she got what she deserved. She could have earned citizenship and she could have become politically informed.

you think becoming naturalized is going to stop them from deporting people?

Oh no, they’ll still revoke legitimate citizenship, but she made it way too easy by, you know, not earning citizenship in the first place.
I guess I don’t quite understand why we have a system where someone that comes here at 10 later has to take extra steps to become a citizen, honestly.
Well, if they come here at 10 and aren’t a citizen and don’t do the work to become a citizen, then they still aren’t a citizen.
I agree that’s a fair point. I just wonder why it’s even necessary to go through any extra hoops if you come here as a minor.
