I wonder how the powers that be intend to force the illegals to go home and do it the right way?
About 10 years ago, I was going through this garbage for an alien spouse. I talked with an ICE agent. I told the guy I was pretty frustrated with this whole immigration mess. I just asked why I could not get the same rights as illegal aliens. Why did I have to go through this stupidity, when they could just walk across the border? He just said he didn't make the rules. I was even more frustrated after that.
Walker and Cruz have addressed the current immigration system as broken and too difficult.
Both have advocated for a reform that includes making it easier and more rigorous to become a citizen.
Both favor citizenship for those who actually want it and want to join this nation, not for those who want to use this nation with no love of our freedoms.
I hope you ironed-out your spouse's issues?
