Also congrats on his green card! My SO also immigrated here recently. The process is a bitch.

Unless you just enter the southern border illegally and get free well everything. Easy breezy.

Such a back hand in the face to the people that do it the right way.

Congrats tho!

No. The back hand is people like you who villainize the person entering the country blindly. The process we went through was long, hard, and expensive. It's still not over. We had the time to allow for a few year process to go through. Neither of us were sick. We both speak English. We both have jobs that allowed us to afford plane tickets and visa payments. My SO is not from a country where war is going on and he was safe there. But many people do not have any of the privileges we had and choose another option. Even as a documented immigrant, we signed paperwork to ensure that my SO would not be eligible to use public funds, so I don't know what free shit you think undocumented immigrants are getting...

Ugh. What now?

People that enter the country “illegally” aren’t immigrants. They choose to break American law (as much as you may disagree with that law ).

People that abide by current law which has been in place for years and years the proper way are indeed, “immigrants”. Thought you’d understand the difference :).
