Ran into a college friend over the weekend and we got on the topic of ICE. He is Hispanic but you can only tell by appearance.

Dude drops it on me that he’s been going back and forth to Atlanta to gain citizenship and was complaining how they keep moving his date back and it’s taking forever.

He’s been here since he was 8 years old. Guy has a blonde haired blue eyed wife and two kids. And just now wanting to gain citizenship. I just assumed this whole time he’s been a citizen.

I left that convo in complete disbelief.

Did you get to ask him why he put it off for so long?

Hope he has an abuela still living in old Mexico or wherever he is from.

Not being a citizen =\= being illegal. If he’s married to an American he ought to have a green card. No excuse not to.

A real friend would call ICE.

Better you than a stranger you know.

Yes, and he just kind of shrugged his shoulders. Kind of pissed me off.

Seemed like he would have tried to get that ball rolling during the first Trump term...

Is that the requirement for a green card?

That tells you exactly what kind of person he is. An illegal alien!

I didn't get a driver's license when I turned 16.

Didn't feel like it.

Now that cops are cracking down on driving legally,I guess I need one after 30 years of being illegal.



See how dumb that sounds?

Are you planning to hide him in your attic when they come for him?

That sucks.

If *they* don't take it seriously, I'm having a hard time finding sympathy or even understanding.

It stinks that he sounds like an otherwise typical, family oriented, working person... but he just didn't care to bother getting his duckies in a row.

What school let him attend, or is this some downlow thing?
