Doesn't that mean she is at least a legal resident, if not a US citizen? Either way, if she's married to a US citizen then she isn't undocumented.
Untrue. It depends on how long you were out of status and what sort of status you had in the first place. If you never had a visa in the first place you really are shit out of luck and can only apply for a green card after you self deport (which may get you a 10 year ban on reentry after you so it or if you've entered the country illegally more than once you get a lifetime ban with no possibility of appeal even if you're married to an American citizen and have American citizen children with them).

You're splitting hairs. If she's legally married to an American citizen (and isn't an agent of a foreign government, and hasn't been convicted of treason, etc), AND she goes through the legal process of gaining citizenship, then she's a legal citizen.
Yes, there are technicalities and requirements. But gaining US citizenship through marriage is a very easy process compared to the other routes.
You consider a 10 year ban for getting a green card after you get married to be an easy process? Do you believe that most would decide to split their family up for 10 years vs remaining undocumented? You can't become a citizen until you get a green card and I've layed out for you just the hard getting a green card is for someone undocumented. You can't just get married and become a citizen. Even DACA recipients, who were brought here without their particular consent: if they get married to a citizen over 6 months after they turn 18 they're going to be banned from re-entry for 3-10 years after they leave. And everyone who's in the country who wasnt inspected on arrival(meaning they had a visa) cannot receive a green card without leaving first. Marriage is no panacea for the undocumented. For most of them, it's quite useless.
I'm not sure what 10 year ban you're talking about, but I personally know someone who married a foreign citizen, and she got US citizenship very quickly.
Can you give me more details about this 10 year ban? If almost sounds like you're talking about people being ineligible for citizenship because they're undocumented citizens.
Yes, that's what I'm taking about. If you marry someone who is undocumented in the United States they're ineligible. They must self deport and depending on how many months they were undocumented they get a 3 or 10 year ban. You said if they got married they would not be undocumented but that's far from the case.
In the 1930s, over a third of all deportations were actually American citizens.
One of Trump's campaign promises was to increase legal immigration, along with deporting undocumented immigrants. This isn't the 1930s. Stop doomscrolling and get some fresh air.
Did you buy the sneakers or the bible? Both?
This purity testing is why I don't call myself a Democrat, liberal, or leftist. Anyone who isn't sufficiently in line with the party beliefs is accused of being the enemy. I'm not a Republican or a conservative, but I know a few and they don't fit the stereotypes I hear from people here on Lemmy and IRL. Maybe the dems could win an election if they came back to reality.
There's some nuance to what you just said that you're ignoring.
When Trump talks about legal immigration, he literally uses the words "from the right places." He's not talking legal immigration from Mexico. He's talking from Sweden, Finland, Germany, etc. I'll let you guess what those three countries have in common.
Nuance? I'm willing to bet you haven't listened to any of his campaign speeches, which makes that an assumption. No nuance involved.
Trump has been talking about Chinese immigrants. This thread is about a Chinese Immigrant.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/07/us/politics/trump-immigrants-nice-countries.html
He said out loud that he wants immigration from "nice" places like Denmark, Norway, and Switzerland. He laments immigration from Asia (unclear where in Asia he means). He might also talk about Chinese immigrants, but he is taking a strong anti-China stance with the economy. It'll be "interesting" to see how he swings with respect to normal Chinese workers in the US versus how he treats the country of China and immigration in general.
"One of Trump's campaign promises..."
Lol, lmao even.
He wouldn't have promised it if his voters weren't OK with it. Not saying he'll keep his word, but it gives insight to the state of the Republican party. Some people on Lemmy seem to think he's literally Hitler. He's not, even if he turns out to be just as bad. He'll find his own way to fuck shit up, so don't expect an exact repeat of history.
So let me get this straight, when you hear people say Trump is "literally Hitler" you think they're saying he's actually the original real-life Adolf Hitler, somehow still alive, clean shaven, wearing a Trump disguise? Is that what you're saying right now?
You don't think that people actually just mean history is repeating itself, and Trump could turn out to be just as bad? That's not what you think people mean?
Read my comments from the beginning of this thread. I'm saying Trump isn't going to attack the same people Hitler did. And I'm saying he's not going to attack people in the same way Hitler did.
If you're arguing that Trump won't invade Poland, we're in agreement.
But no one is arguing that he's going to round up jews. And he's already demonizing immigrants and political rivals in the same way Hitler did.
It almost seems like you're moving the goal posts, but I'll respond...
I'm not sure what you meant about rounding up jews, but Trump is pro-Israel and pro-zionism.
Trump isn't demonizing immigrants in the same way as Hitler. Hitler didn't rally against undocumented immigrants. And he wasn't trying to deport jews, he was killing them. Are you saying you think Trump will make concentrations camps and start a genocide?
I'm honestly not sure what your position is here, but I'm doing my best to respond to the points I think you're trying to make.
