38. No American should need to worry if their green card holding spouse will be denied entry at the border
Thu Jun 19, 2025, 03:25 PM

No American should need to be scared that the government is going to separate their family because an Orange Nazi empowers and unaccountable agency with 100% power under poorly written laws to deny immigration and cancel visas (and yes, a green card is a visa. It's an immigrant visa known as an IR1 or a CR1 depending on the length of marriage when applied).

Are you going to go down this rabbit hole with me because no American, nor foreign spouse of an American, should need to worry if they will see their loved ones again simply because the foreign spouse wanted to visit their family in another country.

As for Americans going through customs. . .this is immigration, not customs. And I think i'm done speaking to you.
