Finally. This is how it used to be until
quote:

the 1952 Congress passed the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, which created Section 245 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA 245”). This established the modern concept of “adjustment of status,” allowing certain eligible non-citizens already physically present in the U.S. to become lawful permanent residents without leaving the country for consular processing abroad.

Before that:

Immigrants generally had to leave the U.S. and obtain an immigrant visa at a U.S. consulate abroad before re-entering as permanent residents.
In the 1930s–1940s, there was an awkward workaround called “pre-examination,” where someone in the U.S. would first get screened domestically, then briefly travel to Canada or another nearby country for visa issuance, then re-enter.

Important nuance:

The 1952 law did not mean everyone could adjust status from within the U.S.

Originally, it mainly applied to people who had entered legally and maintained lawful status.

Congress later expanded and modified eligibility several times, especially through:

A.1960 amendments,
B. the 1994 creation of INA §245(i),
and
C. the 2000 LIFE Act extension.

Someone should firmly tell her, "Urine trouble!"
Now, just get Johnson to call a recess and Trump can go to town on recess appointments.

Paxton went through impeachment and the Senate leader in Texas had a personal vendetta, and couldn't prove a single damn charge.

Sucks but that guy had seen too many action movies. Jumping onto the hood of a moving car to stop it? That's not a 'real-life' smart thing to do.
My congressman. If he keeps it up, he could be a legit MAGA senatorial candidate tapping into the anti-Cruz crowd in Texas and snatch that role for himself.

Well, they think Trump is Obama. Generally speaking, I'm a patient man, but I'm ready for Trump to give them the 'final' countdown and if they aren't signing what Trump wants,b then take out all of Iran. Make it impossible to run as a country or defend it. Tell Saudi Arabia, "we didn't sell you those fighter jets to sit there and do nothing. We softened them up. There's nothing left. Deliver the kill shots, yourselves."

DUBAI, May 19 (Reuters) - Tehran's latest peace proposal to the United States involves ending hostilities on all fronts including Lebanon, the exit of ?U.S. forces from areas close to Iran, and reparations for destruction caused by the U.S.-Israeli war, state media reported on Tuesday.

In Tehran's first comments on ?the proposal, Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said Tehran also sought the lifting of sanctions, the release of frozen funds and an end to the U.S. marine blockade on the country, according to IRNA news agency.

The terms as described in the Iranian reports appeared little changed from Iran's previous offer, which U.S. President Donald Trump rejected last week as "garbage".

She's in good company:





I'll confidently state this about Trump; he is determined to eek out every last drop of opportunity to avoid killing people, but when push comes to shove, he is bold and decisive.
quote:

All in all...we as voters flat out suck.
'We' does not include me. The suck comes from the party, which is too timid to stand up and demand better candidates.

Also, why aren't party leaders kicking out people inside the party working against Trump's agenda, at least when they want to run and it's well known that the person is an agitator and bears morality issues?
quote:

It’s a weird one because most people won’t vocalize in public that they want to vote for a piece of shite like Paxton but obviously a lot of people will once they get to the booths.
People were like that for Trump in his first election because the violence-prone Dems would frick up your car. Look at the guys recently tossed out of a crappy Panda Express just for wearing MAGA hats. It's still going on.
