Trump fucks kids.
Pieces of absolute cat turds!!!
Pretty sure the point is to get people to self deport then deny their application. Of course its fucked.
There are approximately 13 million people with green cards in the US.
The point is to make them leave or arrest them. I doubt they will have an easy time trying to get back in

Trying to force that gold card, isn’t he
Trump loves the act of moving the goalposts on people who aren’t sexist, racist white males.. He has been guilty of abusing kids since he started milking his daddy’s businesses to cover-up his fuckups in the 80s. Just like his daddy he is just a greedy scam artist with abusive tendencies.
He only does things that suck.
I’m sure they all have the money and passports for international travel… smh
So family separation is an INTENTIONAL policy goal of the Trump administration.
Not to mention, in language that conservatives might understand, the sheer financial and economic cost of this operation and the strain it puts on the state and labor department, and even American businesses and employers.
It’s the same story over and over again. The Trump administration tries to frame its disastrous and intentionally punishing policies as cost cutting, but the financial logic actually runs the opposite direction.
That’s cruel and unnecessary.
Many people are offered jobs (say, right after grad school) with the promise from the hiring company that they will get them their green card due to their specialized skills. Meanwhile they work on a temporary work permit.
There are country-wise per-year numerical limits on most work related permanent residency visa categories. So, depending on their country of birth, they will wait years, even decades, for their green card. Meanwhile, they establish roots here—children, house/mortgage, softball team. And so on. This rule requires that they uproot all that, go back to the home country, and wait out the years. No one will go for that. I mean, imagine a cardiologist completing their residency at Johns Hopkins — suddenly they are supposed to pack up and leave for an indeterminate time?
Here’s a related story: [https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/health/trump-h1b-visa-fee-doctors.html?smid=url-share](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/health/trump-h1b-visa-fee-doctors.html?smid=url-share)
So without trying to rationalise anything this regime does, don’t many other western countries already do this? I know in the UK there are visas you cannot file for from within the UK and foreign nationals in the US (say on H1B visas) have to return to their country to renew them.
Again, not defending the move, but these days I’ve only got so much outrage to go around and I’d like to keep it focused on, say, getting the Epstein files released.
Is the US trying to shrink it’s population?
I’m sure there will be exceptions for white South Africans and Russians.
How much is this going to cost us? Stupid.
Mind you… the vast majority of these people *are here legally*.
I have a friend waiting in line to get a K-1 visa. That visa is explicitly for coming to the US, getting married and then doing a change of status to get a green. What happens to them now? Is there no point to K-1 visas anymore?
Well, that’s one way to raise airplane ticket prices
south and southeast asian adore trump for some reason, and they are the largest GC applicant pools.
this leopard will probably need GLP1 to lose weight now
But not the South Africans right ?
So why has Melania not deported yet? She was an illegal.
This would simply decimate the tech sector, I’m guessing this gets walked back.
This should reduce the temperature in the US.,White people reflect more light.
This feels like a Steven Miller idea
This is just deportation under a different name
No impact to H1B, L1 and other work visa types. They may be an impact for F1 but they will convert to H1.
It’s impossible to stop them. The Indian Consulting giants control the US companies. the jobs are already being offshored. You are cooked either ways!
MAGA has no clue. They need to hire a H1B specialized workers to understand the process!
Does his administration not understand taxes at all and how much this is going to hurt the US. At this point states should stop sending money to the government so they have the money to take care of what they need to take care of in their own state government and not rely on the federal government anymore.
