In reply to the discussion: I just realized that Trump means me. He wants to strip my U.S. citizenship. [View all]Maraya1969
(23,489 posts)20. Same situation here except my dad didn't have a Green Card and lied to get a SS
card instead. It turned out that he became a nice asset for his company so when they found out about his status they pulled strings and got him a green card (He was Canadian too).
He then went on to become a US citizen.
I asked my mother why they didn't try and fix the situation before that and she said that they were so frightened and they didn't know what to do. Neither of them had any formal education past high school.
Don't worry about that sick fuck. I bet there are millions of us around.

Not as long as my vote, and the ones I've encouraged to stop this madness count.

I actually feel a little guilty about him being considered a traitor to the Revolution at times.

Guilt goes to rest, consider that you probably would have to have been there, then.

And his two sisters and brother. They were born before his mother became a naturalized citizen.
