I'm good friends with a guy that I met through my son's soccer program. He was born in the US to Guatemalan parents. He was a bit of a bad boy growing up, but he has learned from his experiences to raise his kids with the upmost respect and high effort to get good grades, stay out of trouble and have faith in God.
Problem is, I'm pretty sure his woman / wife snuck across the border or maybe came here as a child. They don't wear wedding rings, she only has a minor understanding of English, doesn't have a drivers license and she lost her sister to leukemia when she was a teen. From what I understand, she works as a laborer doing some sort of simple factory assembly.
They are great people, anti-vax, hard working, cook all their old-country meals at home and are generally very wholesome. He doesn't like Trump which I assume is due to his illegal immigration policies. I wish I could think of a crafty way to hint that he should be properly married to lessen the risk of her being deported.
Regardles of how "good" and/or "wholesome" these people may be, they're breaking the law, which means that they are both criminals.
*If she's here illegally, she is a criminal.
*He's also a criminal because he's harboring a fugitive and is complicit in her criminality.
*And, marrying her won't make her legal.
About the only thing that MAY save her from her criminality is if she's a "dreamer" (which potentially gives an "out" to, long-term US-residing children who are here because of their parents' criminality/illegality).
Were his parents here illegally? If so he is illegal himself and Tom Homan has made it clear the whole family can be deported if they don't want their family split. I am a Tom Homan fan. Sorry, not sorry.
He's a legal citizen with a drivers license, job, and social security number. His mom is still here legally also. I don't know if his dad was ever in the picture as he's described his own childhood as a being wild child and that his mom could barely control him and his brother.
Regarding his girl, I have a lot of doubts that she's legal.
I'm also a fan of Tom given that my hometown was overrun with illegals that have done A LOT of horrible things. We had to move away as the schools, downtown, and hospital have been overrun with Brazilians, Mexicans, Ecuadorians, and Venezuelans.
The standard of living there has dropped significantly since 25 years ago.
You don't become a U.S. citizen just by marrying one. That's only in the movies.
The foreigner has to come in on some kind of legal visa that is sponsored by the person they intend to marry. You can't just stroll in, find someone to marry, and voila! You get to stay.
Absolutely not. You have to be here legally in the first place, even on the temp visa, and it has to state the name of the person sponsoring you for marriage.
Since she's already been here for a long time, just marrying her now won't make one bit of difference.
I worked with someone who came here legally, already married to an American citizen .Though I don't remember the entire process, it took several years and many, many interviews to ensure that it wasn't a sham marriage. She also had an MBA and a very good job. It was an expensive experience for them, but she got her citizenship, and did it the right way. Edit to add; she is not a fan of illegals wherever they've come from.
True, I do know a couple who have been married now for a good 4 years but, only see each other on the weekends because hub is Canadian and she is US citizen and they still not figured out if they want to live in Canada or stay here so, they are married yes but, only visit each other every weekends pretty much, making the drive for it but, seems to be working out for them so far. He was down for a full week for Christmas so I told him he was gonna get deported. heh heh heh.
That's going to be REALLY hard for him and the kids. He has one boy in college, one in high school, and two others in grade school and preschool. All with the same girl.
Believe me, they know perfectly well that she is not legal. They just thought they could skate by and get away with it and use the system to their own advantage - the system that you and I have to pay for.

And they are taking a job which is probably paid under the counter, so other legit businesses are at a disadvantage when competing.
There are a whole raft of issues caused by these parasites. Go back and fix your own country.

No. Those days are over.
Sucks to be him, but he decided to do stupid things, so he gets to win stupid prizes.
Don't be crafty. Be direct.
