Anyone see this article, any truth to this or are they twisting the actual truth to make it look bad?

You have to get legal. A Marine knows this.

The 25-year-old entered the U.S. from Mexico and was legally processed with her family about a decade ago..

You have to make it legal. Processed did not make her legal.

Correct. Naturalized my wife when I was active. She was a permanent resident before we got together and we went to high school together.

I thought if you married a US citizen you became legal? Did they change something or am just way off here?

If he was still in service they would NJP his arse. You have to get legal or make attempts to get legal.

No. You still have to apply for citizenship and stay up to date with immigration process. We went to base legal, got the package of papers, spent like $600 (money order) and did the process. Her brother was active Marine as a permanent resident and got his citizenship as well.

It’s not hard, they just didn’t do it.

Getting married DOES NOT give you automatic citizenship, you still have to apply and go thru the process!

Correct. If she’s been here “legally” for over 10 years she would be a permanent resident and would have been expedited being married to military.

I thought I've seen comedy shows and such with plot lines regarding this. Here:

quote:

The Proposal (2009): This romantic comedy stars Sandra Bullock as a Canadian editor who faces deportation from the United States after her visa renewal is denied. To avoid being sent back to Canada, she convinces her assistant to marry her in exchange for a promotion. The plot then follows the comedic and often chaotic journey of the couple as they try to convince a suspicious immigration official that their engagement is real, even visiting the assistant's hometown in Alaska.


This was waaaaay after the Nam era.

We have a Mexican family at church. They did everything by the book. Husband came on a work visa, then obtained a visa for his wife and brought the kids up. They both applied for citizenship and took the oath last year. He’s a smart guy, educated with a technical background, and his wife worked to get her real estate license. They’re practically poster children for the model immigrant. Very proud to become citizens . None of this EFF YOU GRINGO IT ALL BELONGS TO MEXICO garbage. It was no kidding a case of Mexico’s loss and our gain.

Shes had a deportment order signed by a judge 7 years ago. Before she was even married

She chose to have anchor babies instead

Days before her interview in New Orleans, the Clouatres learned that Paola had a final order of removal issued by a judge in California in 2018.

That’s how lax our immigration system has become. It’s not like that in most countries around the world.
