Trump Ending Automatic Green Cards for Migrants Marrying U.S. Citizens

Another piece of the puzzle.

MAGA.

Immigration lawyers are warning that federal agencies are increasingly skeptical when migrants claim to have legitimate marriages with Americans.

The policy shift comes after President Donald Trump’s deputies began cracking down on rising rates of marriage-related visa fraud by migrants who pay Americans for temporary marriages.

While marrying a U.S. citizen has never been a locked-in guarantee that a migrant would be issued a green card, marriages have previously offered a huge boost to a migrant’s request for legal status. But that may be changing as immigration attorneys are finding that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) are giving such marriages much closer scrutiny than ever before.

Immigration attorney Brad Bernstein of Spar & Bernstein is warning his clients that marrying a U.S. citizen is no longer the near-guarantee of legal residence for foreign nationals, NDTV reported.

One new wrinkle in requests for marriage-related green cards is residency. The Trump administration is prioritizing a shared domicile for the migrant and the U.S. citizen, a requirement that was not prioritized in the past. Bernstein says.

“Immigration officers do not care why you live apart, and they do not care if it’s for work, school, money, or convenience,” the attorney added.

“So, if you’re not living in the same house every day, immigration is going to start questioning the marriage. And once they question it, they’re investigating, and once they come knocking on your door, they’re looking to deny you. So, if you want a marriage green card, you live together. Period,” he explained.

USCIS has warned migrants that a marriage to a U.S. citizen has to be real, not just an arrangement of convenience. And the agency will deny green cards to those who married with “no good faith, intent to live together as spouses and intended to circumvent immigration laws.”

In November, the Trump administration even suggested that migrants who already hold green cards could find their status reexamined and reassessed.

In a message posted on Thanksgiving Day, USCIS Director Joseph Edlow announced, “At the direction of @POTUS, I have directed a full scale, rigorous reexamination of every Green Card for every alien from every country of concern.”

This is a good step toward ending birthright citizenship and birth tourism.

I keep asking this question, but nobody has been able to explain an answer: If we end citizenship based on birth certificate, what will be the new test for citizenship?

 

[Unkotare]

A Permanent Resident Card was never automatic for immigrants marrying US citizens. There are interviews, investigations, follow-up interviews and investigations around every ten years. And every time you set foot in your local immigration office, you are sucked into an endless chasm where time stops.

That is the most likely reason that SCOTUS will not change anything regarding birthright citizenship.

Melania tipped him off it isn't always what it seems.

Loyalty to our beloved Orange Fuhrer. Don't you know nothing?

Trump does have a history of breaking up families.

A. Were you born here? If so, go to step C.

B. Did you illegally cross the border? If so, go to step E.

C. Congratulations! You are a citizen of the US

D. Did you legally enter the US by way of the proper channels and applying for citizenship? If so, go to step C

E. Get the **** out of my country.


I love Venn diagrams.

Well yeah we need to make it harder, birthright citizenship will be reserved for children of us citizens, this isn’t hard to understand.

Who will determine if the parents are citizens?

What if the person is an orphan as often happens? Or if the father is unknown?

I'm not sure we need to make it harder. We just need secure borders and make sure only people willing and able to adapt to our beliefs are let in. The tourist birth trade is open for debate...simply denying a woman entrance if she is pregnant or requiring signing a waiver of citizenship rights for the unborn child would suffice.

Are they ******* citizens? Yes or no? It’s very easy to determine who is a citizen and your fake concern trolling and begging the question faggotry is over.

Was one of the parents citizens? Then they stay, as for the unknown father? Tough shit, maybe don’t bed dishonest men.

This is not Walmart, we have standards on who we let in, no the birth tourism system isn’t open for debate, it’s fraud, it’s wrong and we are going to end it.

Or we can just deny here entry until she has given birth and avoid it all together.

[sorry I updated my reply]

Your first question is exactly what I am asking: Who determines citizenship? Currently, just the fact that a baby was born is enough: physical evidence that is documented in the local town clerks office.

Your answer about missing parents does not make sense. What about rape victims that decide to protect life? Should their newborn baby loose the benefit of citizenship just because the dad might have been a non-citezen? How would your idea of "tough shit" be enforced in a court of law?

We don't need a new slave class. That's what the socialists want. We need brothers and sisters willing to put their shoulder against the tough times along side us.

This country needs to stop handing out citizenship wantonly. We need to use Switzerland and Japan's criteria for citizenship.

Are you currently a citizen? If yes, your kids are, end of story.

Is the mom a citizen? Yes? Rape baby is a citizen,

Mom has a kid with an unknown guy and the mom isn’t a citizen? Tough shit.

That’s the best part, we won’t have a slave class we will deport illegals.

Socialists want open borders and millions of aliens to flood the country and to change the voter pool to rig elections.

The tough times are here, have been for decades dumbass, we don’t want or need more burdens, threats, or competition at the workplace or the voter booth, and if that means your feels get hurt I could not give less of a **** about it.
