No parent should have an “if I get deported” conversation with their child.
Moved legally to countries. Problem solved. I have lived all over the world not once did I just roll up illegally.
@vegan-xicano You’re right. The parents shouldn’t be in the country illegally you dumbass.
Lol I live in a part of the United States that the US stole from Mexico when it didn’t keep up it’s end of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. If the United States would mind it’s own fucking business and not have such a negative impact in foreign countries, this wouldn’t be an issue. This goes for the violence they have caused trying to overthrow governments they disliked and exploiting foreign workers for by moving companies across borders that leads to poverty and the need for immigration in order meet living needs.
Or maybe the fucking pilgrims should have stayed in their goddamn land if you wanna go that route.
@texasgunnersmate
and @nabokovsshadows the immigration process isn’t so simple for everybody. People have tried and waited years for the process to go through. Have you felt the immediate need to leave a country for safety or well-being? some people don’t have the time to wait.
Pinches gringos pendejos.
But did the fucking pilgrims go through a legal process to migrate here? Did they fucking ask the natives of this land permission to thrive of their land and labor?!?!
White people literally have zero humanity
White people colonized land that wasn’t theirs. They have no right speaking on this manner.
Hit em up style.
Okay so this hits really close to home for me. I’m so tired of people giving undocumented immigrants shit, so tired of all this hate from people who have the privilege of being born in the US, or come from situations where immigrating legally is an attainable goal.
Do you know how hard it is to immigrate to the US? We have some of the strictest and hardest immigration processes out there. I feel like the people who just say “Well immigrate legally. Problem solved,” have this notion that immigrating legally to the US is like standing in line at the DPS to get your driver’s license (an inconvenience but fully attainable), when it’s absolutely not. It takes YEARS and possibly thousands of dollars in visa fees, immigration fees, attorney fees, and the health exams and background checks you have to get, let alone travel expenses. And that is not attainable for people living in god awful, life threatening desperate situations, where they maybe make $60 a month.
Let me give you a quick rundown of our immigration process for you rude ass people who think undocumented immigrants are just lazy criminals coming to steal your jobs:
-You have to apply for an immigrant visa. You can choose from a few categories: employment visa (you have to be a highly skilled worker with a job lined up from an employer willing to hire an immigrant over a US citizen), student visa (so you have to be able to afford to go to school in the US), if you have immediate family in the US already they can file a petition for a visa for you, and if you don’t qualify for one of these MAYBE you can get lucky for the Visa Lottery (and only if less than 50,000 people from your country have immigrated to the US that year you apply for the lottery.)
-So say you don’t have a job lined up and you can’t afford school but you have immediate family here. (Being a spouse, parents, children, or siblings) Your family can petition for you to immigrate here. Some relations may have a higher chance of your petition being approved (like parents petitioning for their children), but it still takes a long time and may or may not happen. (For example, my uncle has been petitioning for his wife and kids to immigrate from the Philippines for almost a DECADE, still hasn’t happened.)
-So your family petitions you and it’s approved or you get hella lucky and win the visa lottery, you still have to submit required paperwork and documentation to immigrate (including a passport so lol if you’re hella poor good luck with affording that)
-Most people also suggest you hire a lawyer to help with the process (once again a barrier for the poor)
-You have to get a thorough medical exam and vaccinations (oh no that means health insurance or high medical bills without)
-Okay so you get all this done, you’re squared away, paid exorbitant fees and all your paperwork is good to go, medical exam and background check is good, you still have to interview with a consular officer. (Which means meeting at the US consulate in your country so be prepared to travel if it’s not in your city)
Immigrating to the US is not easy. Especially if you are poor, in an unstable country, and in life threatening situations where the longer you stay in this country can cost you and your family their lives. It costs an arm and a leg to immigrate and go through a process that can take YEARS. Many people don’t have years to wait.
All US citizens who have had the privilege to be born in the US don’t understand what this means to an immigrant looking to escape their situation and have a better life. It is simply not accessible to some people to immigrate legally. “Immigrate legally, problem solved.” No. It’s not like waiting in a line for an hour at DPS, it’s not even close to that simple. Some people don’t have the means or time to get here legally and safely. Immigrants (Mexican and Central American immigrants in particular) cross deserts by foot and risk their lives to get here. Do you think if it was as easy as standing in a line at a government office (like many of you think the process is) they wouldn’t do that?
I am so lucky that I was born here and my parents were able to immigrate to the US legally because the regulations weren’t as strict. IF YOU WERE BORN HERE DON’T YOU EVER SHIT ON IMMIGRANTS AND SPEW YOUR HATE IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW THAT PROCESS WORKS. And don’t give me the “well my family immigrated here legally why can’t they” excuse. Okay Becky who’s 1/8 German 1/8 Polish 1/16 Native American white mystery airhead flavor “my family has been here for generations”, all your family had to do was hop on a ship to Ellis Island and answer some questions and bam welcome to the US. They most likely would not have been able to immigrate based on the procedure now. I don’t want to hear it.
