He's a Mennonite, hardly Texan at all. They live in their own society practically.

Warning, essay.

Many many reasons for the immigrants who support him all of them bad reasons obviously.

-White-Passing Hispanics, especially CDMX, Monterey within Mexico and outside, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil (obv. not the darker skinned Brazilians) etc. that can be seen by whites as "the good ones", and by the Hispanics themselves. These people, the ones who make a point to embrace the "whiteness" of their bloodline, allowing them to identify more with their European colonizers rather than the darker skinned natives, or even Mestizos (mixed race, though at this point most people are decedents of decedents of decedents of the original Mestizos). Their tie to that European "whiteness" somehow makes them better than those darker than themselves.

-Machismo culture being deeply ingrained in many families causing them to "admire" a "strong" man. Not a single macho man is actually macho (except for Macho Man) under Machismo, it is a warped idea of what constitutes macho that idolizes the men and puts them up front as the default lead of any situation especially family just because they are male.

-There is unfortunately, a STRONG sense of "I got mine" or pulling the ladder up behind you among many many immigrants, Hispanic or otherwise. This goes along with the sense of "well we did it so it can't be that hard", they fail to realize that yes, it may have been easy for you but for others it is not.

-Last I can think of, the kids and grand-kids of immigrants. Many did not get taught about the struggles of their ancestors, or were taught and don't care, sometimes you just get a bad egg kids who doesn't give a shit about his heritage. Sometimes this comes from their feeling like an "other" when living in an area with a Hispanic minority. This can cause them to seek out belonging and feel resentment to their ancestors and heritage for bringing them there, for making them into a minority and grow some unhealthy selfhate, and then falling in with like minds who also hate the "others" making them into "one of the good ones." (ive types this term too many times today)

Not really, you are knowingly living here with an expired visa, you had ample opportunity to plan, reapply, change status, and many other options, they just...didn't. So, as a non citizen with an expired visa they no longer have freedom of movement (as a visa grants you specifically, freedom of movement within the borders of the United States and it's Territories)

Not even treason can end in the revocation of your citizenship if naturally born (possible for a naturalized citizen)

US Citizens cannot legally be deported, and the 14th Amendment protects you from forced revocation of your citizenship. The only way you can become a Non Citizen again is denaturalization, or renunciation.

he would flush the millions of illegals who voted for Biden in 2020 like rats. (I picked that analogy on purpose, he thinks they're sub-human).

And that is the Nazi (and other authoritarian, not even just right fascists) talking point. The painting of a people as "Vermin", the villainization of a minority or even a majority or comparatively similar size group. The point is to gear your people to think deep down that the "others" are beneath them, beneath deserved respect, sub human scum that you shouldn't be worried about what happens to them.

Go watch any advice from cult experts. The people who think themselves too smart to fall into a cult, are MORE likely to be tricked or convinced into one

I am going through this process right now.

Once we are married (very soon) she will apply for a change of status to CR1 Visa (Temporary Residency for a spouse of an American citizen)

From that point you have 2 years to finalize application for a Green Card (permanent residency)

Once she has her Green Card, so long as she isn't a criminal breaking any laws (non immigration related, felony shit) then she is a legal, permanent, resident.

You then have to maintain that Green Card status for a minimum of 3 YEARS to then apply for full or dual citizenship. (Though you apply 90 days before that 3 year mark arrives)

You have to remember that to THESE people, being undocumented in any way shape or firm IS illegal. Whether or not that makes you a criminal is entirely different and they definitely say yes.

I read it more as that's what the brother likely thinks of his wife.

I've literally met old ass men with Vietnamese or Chinese wives half their age who INTRODUCE them as 'My insert nationality here wife'

Sees her as his brown colonial conquest, or marrying "one of the good ones" because she gets his dick wet

You know if this hadn't happened, if they ever got divorced and she wasn't a resident or citizen yet then he'd be calling ice on her ass the next day.

Agree completely, and to me when people like these two decide to do whatever they want because their love is "special", it shows ICE that hey, this is way easier and they'll focus more on these situations. This puts all the completely legal and above board immigrants in danger now.

I agree, but she and anyone else in her position have SIGNED paperwork in agreement with the terms that by X date you will leave the country. What the fuck else are we supposed to do if we just shrug and say oh well it's just a date. These two were blatantly attempting to trounce the laws and just do whatever they wanted.

Hold the fuck up, she was already OVERSTAYING her Visa and these idiots thought it was a good idea to TRAVEL? Nah they both got what they fucking deserved. It doesn't matter that you're awaiting your residency application, you have already passed your exit date, why the fuck would you be traveling for your honeymoon

Edit: I'm literally standing in the airport awaiting my fiance's return from Mexico right now, this shit makes all the people who actually read their paperwork and follow the rules, look bad when they get lumped in with these idiots.

Maybe, depends if he was born and raised Mennonite then it's possible he didn't. But that also means he likely did nothing to comfort his daughter as she died or else he would have caught it too

An interesting distinction, so you could carry an unloaded rifle, and a magazine or ammunition in your pocket and be totally legal and still ready to defend yourself if needed

Well his general leadership of Twitter.

His absolutist take on "Free Speech" that allowed alt right and Nazi groups to flourish and spread on his platform

Then the eventual sale to Elon Musk, where he kept acting like he had no choice/no say in the sale.

glances at list of comms I mod/created Okay buddy. From the looks of it you're not even a mod HERE in this comm, so, whatever have a nice day

Did he ever possess a different world view? Or did we assume someone in tech in early 2000s must be actually smart and not a bad person, only to find out they're a piece of shit a la, Zuck, Dorsey, Musk, etc.

Remember there was a time we didn't know everything about these people and the notion that they were creating these platforms and industries for the betterment of man kind didn't seem so crazy.

Now we know every last one of them is a money obsessed freak with entire cemeteries in their closets, touting "Effective Altruism" or "Rationalism" or whatever new fad fake philanthropists are claiming this quarter.

Seems needlessly extreme to just wipe away conversions
