I came to the US as a student and married a US citizen who sponsored me for a Green Card. If we had done so under this new rule it appears we would have had to separate ourselves for an indefinite period. This administration can't stop tearing families apart and is anti-love
USCIS@USCIS
USCIS is applying long-standing law and prior court decisions to require certain aliens with temporary visas who decide they want to permanently reside in the U.S. to return to their home countries to apply for permanent visas through the @StateDept. We're returning to the original intent of the law to ensure aliens navigate our nation’s immigration system properly. Here’s what you should know: uscis.gov/newsroom/news-…

@Shoestring_Lab Too bad. I'm already here. And I took you and your family's job too.

@kcp4194 Go fuck yourself back wherever you came from. We don't want you here.

Nowhere in any of these "what about the immigrants" posts do I see any concern for the millions of Americans whose lives have been destroyed by mass immigration.
We have no fucks left to give about the problems of foreigners.
I am concerned about my fellow Americans.
Very Human Robot@jwatte
This is unhinged. If someone comes to the US, builds a productive life and integrates into society, and then want to actually take the next step towards real participation in our country, they have to ... break their companies? Leave their family? Wait abroad for a bureaucratic backlog? This is directly corrosive to US prosperity!

@Mstrainer19 @DallasKing2022 @Josh_Merfeld Sorry, your country is letting me stay here and get all the high paying jobs that you and your family can never come close to ;)

This is completely insane. Will literally rip families apart.

@WatchLibsLoseIt @tobitac "Create families, etc." was good enough for your family, but not when a foreigner is involved.
Feel bad your parents created a family which produced a piece of dumbass for this country.
English
If you are in a country on a temporary visa, don’t get married & have kids, & then expect that country to cater to you, because you wrongly assumed it was a permanent situation!! You are a temporary visitor, that’s it! Every country has a right to dictate its immigration policy!
Arnav Sahu@arnavsahu341
Took me 8 years to get a green card. And that’s only because I did a special petition via EB1. I know of people who’ve been in the country for 25 years, have kids and still don’t have a green card.

@IrishEdel2 "I’m not telling people in general not to get married and have kids!!" - actually, you are.
English
@kcp4194 That was the premise of my comment, being here on a temporary visa and getting married and having kids is a stupid decision… obviously that’s way over your head. I’m not telling people in general not to get married and have kids!! But your input has been enlightening!!🤦♀️

@Huff4Congress @captive_dreamer Because the average American is too dumb to handle an average job
English
Why should Americans compete with the rest of the world for American jobs?
Even granting the premise, which is nonsense (anyone who’s been to another country knows that *everywhere* is second-world compared to the U.S.), “global employment competition” is nuts.

It's almost impossible to view these people as anything other than insecure downwardly-mobile losers afraid of competition from more talented immigrants.

@DallasKing2022 @Josh_Merfeld Thanks for planning how others want to start a family. Not only do you need to love the person to marry them, you now also need to consider whether your country has a bunch of fucktards supporting family separations.
English
TEMPORARY. Why does everyone conveniently forget the word TEMPORARY?
If you come to a country on a TEMPORARY basis why would you start a family where you don’t belong and will not be staying?
The family can go back together or they can rip themselves apart.
The choice was theirs to gamble. They lost.
English
@WatchLibsLoseIt @tobitac That's the term for marriage fraud. Which is already illegal. You just named a crime and acted like it was a counterargument. Try again.
English
@IrishEdel2 Adding "if you're on a temporary visa" doesn't rescue the sentence. It just specifies which adults you're telling not to marry or have kids. That's not common sense, that's central planning of other people's families. "Not my problem" isn't a defense. It's the confession.
English
@WatchLibsLoseIt @tobitac Marriage to a citizen IS the legal basis to stay.
Two people who marry become family. Strip "manipulation" off your post and what's left is: you want to separate families.
As always, MAGA only cares about "family" when it comes to white people.
English
@kcp4194 @tobitac Didn’t say that at all. I said if you choose to marry someone who is here temporarily, you’re going into it with the understanding that they’ll need to leave when their time expires. By all means, get married. But using the marriage as an excuse to not leave is manipulation.
English
@LostSailorNY Then you should leave the country too for being an unimportant piece of trash
English
We'll manage without you.
You're not as remotely as important as you think you are....

The self-sabotage continues. When I applied for my green card a long time ago, I was a working scientist at an exciting startup in Boston. I could peacefully continue my work while my green card was being processed. It would have been debilitating for both me and my company if I had to potentially go back to my home country and spend weeks or months waiting in line to apply. There are thousands more like me today. As a scientist and immigrant who loves this country, I cannot think of worse ways to cripple American scientific competitiveness while other countries surge ahead. It is completely pointless. Between the funding cuts and rash, irrational policies like these, China could not have done worse if they had decided to sabotage science in the U.S.
English
@IrishEdel2 I did reread it. Still says "don't get married & have kids." You weren't misquoted. You were summarized accurately. The embarrassment is the tell.
English
Visa workers have gotten so used to preferential treatment that if you ask them to fill out an extra form, they’ll sperg out and denounce America and the American people.
Deport them all!
English
@MHarrisonW Unfortunately our schools produce an inferior product. We have kids who are completely illiterate graduating. They can’t read, write, do math, or function as adults in society.
This is deliberate, btw.
English
The US rebellion against work visa holders demonstrates a dire need for US higher education reform. Our universities and med schools must concentrate on American students, not foreign students. That also requires the cooperation of the State Department in denying student/work visas.
