Are you saying before zero tolerance, before Trump, before Obama even illegals were equally concerned about living in the US illegally or what is not true?
There were (and probably still are) some who would really prefer to be here legally. Sometimes coming here illegally was the best of a set of bad choices, but at least they were willing to come around and fix them. On the other hand, you have others who have no interest in legalizing their status, due to fear, or sometimes sheer laziness.
I'm wondering what this woman's excuse was. Fear or laziness? My wife and I have been married about a year and she's already got her green card, so it's not like it's a difficult process, just an annoying one.
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.
Depends on his security clearance. but even at that, when I got married, all I needed to present was proof of marriage for the benefits and for her to receive her spouse ID card. I did not need to fill out an SF-86 because mine still was active, and I got out before needing to file a new one. The SF-86 does though go into this a bit.
But if he did not need a clearance, her status would not have mattered. My wife did not even have a residency visa or anything when she got her spouse ID, I was stationed overseas at the time.
This person should STOP blaming others and she only has herself to blame.
according to the article,
Alejandra petitioned to become a citizen in 2001, but was rejected because she was accused of making a false statement at the border when she sought asylum in 1998, said her attorney, Richard Maney. He said she was asked about her citizenship and told authorities she had been a student in Memphis, Tennessee for a short time, so border officials apparently thought she was falsely claiming to be an American citizen.
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.
Yes, they can. They can return to their homelands and follow the legal process to come back legally. The process doesn't begin on our soil after coming here illegally, duh.
Why is ICE wasting their time with a woman married to a Marine, neither of whom has caused any problems in the US??? To hear Lil Donnie Boy, all ICE is doing is rounding up MS-13. Ha!
ICE is like any other part of the federal bureaucracy....sitting on their arses in their offices, and upping their "apprehension" stats by deporting those who come in (as told to) for routine yearly visits to immigration.
Low hanging fruit.
Those MS-13 people might require actual resources and stuff.

My guess is both. She had already been caught and deported once so under the 0 tolerance that's an automatic out. Initially probably laziness and a sense that there was no necessity to do so.
When she entered the country illegally the 2nd time, she became a felon.
