Why does US not enforce immigration laws

[fosterjoseph]

I wouldn't call shoplifting a crime of moral turpitude. She's not going to be deported for it. Even if you offered to pay for the cost of the deportation proceedings out of your own pocket.

I'm sorry you made a bad decision that you now regret. Wanting the government to clean up your mess though, shows a lack of personal responsibility. I bet you're paying her alimony and/or child support, too, that's the only reason you could be so bitter about it all.

Whether or not you would call it such a crime is irrelevant. Perhaps you'd like a link to educate yourself more on the law

And no I am not paying any alimony or child support. So you would also lose that bet. In fact I have one child and she the other so there is no alimony or child support in the picture. Again you bring up the issue of "personal responsibility". My "mess" as you so eloquently put it is not the divorce, that is done and over and good riddance. The "mess" I am asking the government to clean up is the one caused by immigrants such as these who violate our laws without appropriate government response.

The question is why the US does not fulfill their obligations to uphold the law.

Pick one:

a) They don't care.
b) They're understaffed.
c) She's bribing officials.
d) She's boinking officials.

So there's your answer. Now you can be on your way.

Simple shoplifting generally won't be enough to trigger deportation proceedings, no.


To clarify for the OP though:

Once you're a permanent resident, you're a permanent resident. As in, permanent. The actual CARD may need to be renewed periodically, but your status is firm.

(deportation proceedings notwithstanding )

and no, your status is not "firm" in regards to freedom to break the law.

There, now was that so hard to answer the actual question. Although your dismissive nature does tend to illustrate one's disregard for the right of free speech.

I guess your abusive nature brought out the dismissive in mine.

Again the "its your fault" argument. I see the pattern.

 

[I'mTheFather]

I'm sensing a bit of a persecution complex, too.



That's not my fault either.

Really, then you should really get that attended to....its not healthy

 

[I'mTheFather]

You misunderstood.... and I assure you that is not my fault.

well, I think it was my turn really. You can't hold a monopoly on that.

 

[I'mTheFather]

It was, but I like to have the last word.

...okay...
