The blowhards say dumb shit like "you should have tried to get legal", meanwhile this guy who was brought here as a child has spent $125,000 in legal fees to try and become a citizen because he loves this country and his family.
Now we're suggesting American citizens should move to Mexico for months or years while this father tries to get back here legally?

Much like this piece points out, there's no logical argument in any of this. We say we want to punish criminals and people who leech off of us, but we also go after people who are essentially Americans that are contributing to this nation. The President argues for merit based immigration and then goes after those who should remain here on the merit of what they contribute or calls their homes "shit holes" and questions why we want people who are more educated and end up achieving more success than the average American At some point, we're just punishing them because they're brown.
CR-1 visa doesn’t cost $125,000....... they are around $1500 depending on country of origin.
This guy would be getting a CR-1.
He has an Immigration problem because he put his fate in the hands of some paralegals who probably have 40 other files going. This isn’t Trump’s or ICE’s fault this is his fault for not taking the lead.
