A lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth is happening over the Supreme Court decision that temporary means temporary and the administration can cancel temporary protective status for a whole ton of people.
I have a pretty calloused attitude about this. Most of them should’ve never been admitted and many have been enjoying life on the dole, courtesy of you and I. I’m sure some have found work and behaved. But from what I see, what happened here is the Biden administration took all these people in – like Haitians, and swamped small towns with them where they’ve made life miserable for the locals.
Should’ve never happened. But it did.
Here’s the other thing; if they are still under temporary status, why haven’t they sought to change their status? I know it can be done, I know people that have. I know some who came here under protective status, filed and were awarded resident status. And here they stayed. Months ago, Trump said he was clearing this and these people are at risk for returning. They could’ve gone for citizenship and didn’t. You know why? It’s more advantageous to stay with the green card. Greed. Simple.
The Girl went through this. She came here on a work visa (she’s gone back and forth a few times). After she met her late husband and they were married, after a few years she went about becoming a citizen. It wasn’t just a paperwork thing. She had some work to do and had to spend not a small amount of money to do it. But do it she did because she wanted to anchor her life here. She did it the right way.
It was a smart move. A move that these long term temporary visa people could’ve done.
There are thousands of these people, and even more that came in claiming asylum. Many, even a lot of Haitians, didn’t come here from their motherland. They came through Mexico, as did tons of Central Americans. They already fled years previous, but took the opportunity under Biden to improve their lot by coming here.
There’s a woman that has a youtube channel that the girl would watch that married an illegal, even had kids. He could’ve done the work to secure his lot in life but he didn’t. La Migra eventually caught him and he got sent back, and now cannot ever apply. So, she lives in Mexico with him, and quite frankly has built a life there that I’m a bit envious of. Dude’s a good guy and a hard worker. It’s paid off for them.
The point is that if you want to stay, you have to do some work to make sure that happens. You can’t just stay put and ignore this because eventually the piper shows up wanting to be paid.
The teachable moment happens when we give thousands the boot. Then, the others should learn that coming here any way but the proper way to immigrate and you’ll get the boot. Come here because of some idiotic administration, and the next one will think otherwise.
You don’t have to go back, but you can’t stay here.
