Phew, I feel safer already.
I feel badly for all the people bamboozled by Trump.
Uh, it's not demonization. These guys lust for scapegoats like Welshmen do for sheep. Hasen't Desura repeatedly claimed that it's due to "Libruls" that Trump is in power?
What's the defense? That it was hard to predict that the lyingest liar was going to lie about his promises?
Yeah, no.
Maybe he can come back in after he helps build the wall.
Since you guys think laws shouldn't apply to illegal immigrants maybe he should have gone for broke and committed tax evasion also. After all enforcing that law and sending him to jail would have "broken up family" also.
I think we should have sympathy for people like this, even though it's a self-inflicted wound. There's one simple reason: we need to show the kindness that Trump and the Republicans refuse to offer. They're not going to vote Democrat if they think they're getting just as much cruelty as they do from Trump's camp.
The number of people that voted for Trump even though his "policies" will directly affect them negatively is pretty astounding. It seems they simply didn't believe that he was talking about them, people they know, or their businesses. Just watched a segment on farmers in CA who were pissed at "regulation" and that the Feds didn't help them get nonexistent water to help with the drought so they voted Trump. Now they stand to loose their workforces, and thus their businesses, since they rely on undocumented workers to be viable. Pretty smart.
Now he can begin the normal immigration process, hopefully within 18 months he can enter the US legally.
Actually, I think laws should only exist when they protect people from other people. Some people would call that small government but that can't be right since I'm a flaming liberal progressive wise and beautiful woman.Since you guys think laws shouldn't apply to illegal immigrants maybe he should have gone for broke and committed tax evasion also.

Yeah not when he was deported.Now he can begin the normal immigration process, hopefully within 18 months he can enter the US legally.
Guess you didn't read the entire text in the link.
Each I-212 request is considered on its own merits. You do not have to meet a specific standard, or have a qualifying relative in the United States. Before approving your I-212, the U.S. government official handling your case will look at factors such as the reason you were deported, how recently you were removed, the length of time you lived in the U.S., your moral character (or for which crimes, if any, you were convicted), your respect for law and order, evidence of rehabilitation (if you committed a crime), your family obligations, any other reasons that the government may refuse to admit you into the U.S., any hardship to yourself or others were the permission denied, and the need for any services you offer to the United States (for example, if you’ll be applying for a work visa).

I have a colleague who married an illegal, she was able to return after going through the immigration process.
Guess they'll never know until they file a I-212 request, if approved they can begin the normal immigration procedures.You realize it's all highly political, I hope, like SS disability. Don't expect an Admin that's Hell bent on throwing out illegals to let them back in.

For example, people crossing our border doesn't affect other people negatively unless you use some twisted logic where you think they are stealing jobs that Americans would actually do. However, people not paying taxes affects all of us since if we didn't have laws stopping people from tax evasion, nobody would pay taxes and our government couldn't provide the services we want as a society.
Adios, bad hombre.
And yet you seem OK with not calling for the outright repeal of laws that criminalize the 'crossing our border' for some reason. Maybe because as I've said you don't truly favor open borders but rather just want a permanent underclass of people working on your behalf for sub-market rates and subject to deportation at any time to keep them in line.
I support immigration reform where the entire process is relaxed to allow just about anyone to enter after a background check. No artificial limits on quantities.And yet you seem OK with not calling for the outright repeal of laws that criminalize the 'crossing our border' for some reason.

Amnesty goes a long way towards relieving the social injustice you mention, particularly given that 2/3 of illegals have been here 10 years or more. The abuse they suffer is precisely because they are illegal.
Again, the bankers negatively affected other people in a major way while illegal immigrants do not. Well, except for bunching conservative underpants.So why do you keep harping on about duration? The financial crisis was 10 years ago and yet you still want to have show trials for the bankers who you think are enemies of the state. If anything duration should be an aggrevating factor rather than mitigating, they've had plenty of time to attempt to seek legal status and did not.
