What I'm wondering is what sort of Marine her husband is if he wasn't encouraging her every minute to get her status legalized and squared away. I assume he wanted her to be able to stay and not get deported?
The laws weren't being enforced so those living here illegally didnt put any priority into trying to become legal, deportation was a joke.

Not true. I have friends who are here illegally. They aren't any less my friends because of it, but I always encourage them to fix and legalize their status here. A couple of them did, but this one doesn't see the point of doing so (partially because she thinks she'll be turned down because she never finished high school). Decent, wonderful people, and I really want them to be able to stay and not get deported, because our country is all the better for having more people like that in it. Provided they're here legally.
You'd think a Marine and husband would feel the same about his wife. Or maybe he didn't?

A lot of people overlook that point. Hillary was expected to win and expected to continue the policies that existed.
My bet is that she comes back, walking right through the spot where there should be a wall.

But most of them can't, can they? I know a few illegals and as far as I know there is no way for them to become legal.

Being a Vet is no excuse for poor behavior. The VAST majority of the veterans I know believe that being a veteran is a call to a higher standard.

My question is that if he was active duty and married to an undocumented woman how did he pass the security screenings? Being married to a legal immigrant can really gum up the background check works.

You are correct. There must be a legal avenue to pursue to become a legal permanent resident and then take the path to naturalization. If you have years and years of 'unlawful status,' my understanding is you will not be able to attain LPR status. There also may be an issue with the wife of the marine. Generally, a spouse of a USC gets status. LPR then can naturalize down the road. He may not have gone through the process for her because she may also have had the unlawful presence problem. Oh well. It's not like our laws are secret.
The thing that always puzzles me: Aren't you supposed to gain relatively easy access to US Citizenship when you are provably and happily married to a US Citizen? Married for 2 days could be a scam obviously. But I keep hearing stories about illegal immigrants who are married to citizens, but spend decades never progressing towards citizenship. When I ask them, they say it's too expensive or somesuch. What's up with that?

Usually yes but something tells me this woman has a record involving something that is keeping her from legal status.
