Wait he's actually gay? I never knew that
How do you deport a husband anyway, doesn't marriage guarantee citizenship?
doesn't marriage guarantee citizenship?
Not really in practice. There are other stories of spouses married to US citizens and being the parent to US babies. These guys are literally ripping families apart. They did it the first time and they are doing it now.
There is a 'path' but the hoops you would have to jump through mean you'll self deport and be away from your family for a very long time(by design). The immigration system is backed up after all. Plus what ever stable job you had will be gone after the months to years long wait.
He's gay and married to an immigrant and still voted trump? I knew magaheads were dense but this is neutron star level density!
still voted trump
He's in prison isn't he? He didn't vote
Wait. I'm French so this made my brain fry.
In the US prisoners have their constitutional rights removed?
Yup! In America convicted felons are not allowed to vote in federal elections and depending on the law of the state they are not allowed to vote in state or municipal elections either. As a result of these policies a disproportionate amount of black and Latino communities have had their right to vote stripped away.
So.... Does this mean the current sitting American president couldn't vote in the last election?
Why would Carol Baskin do this?
This is my favourite one so far. Fuck Joe Exotic.
It's an older meme, but it checks out.
I can definetely still hear this one!
“I am never gonna financially recover from this situation.”
Hahaha, you think a gay dude's getting one of Trump's golden tickets for US citizenship? I mean come on, has he even raped any women? Remember, trans ones don't count!
I think trans ones count if you fuck em over instead of just merely fucking them....
Just saying, my bf wishes he could fuck me as hard as the US Government does
i absolutely hate this, and at the same time, you're entirely on point here. it's beginning to feel a lot like sex crimes are a rite of passage to the new regime, bonus points if it's a hate crime directed at a trans person
I'm honestly surprised they haven't lowered the age of consent to 12 whilst accusing transpeople of being pedos at the same time somehow.

good ol' create problem, sell solution
I doubt that Joe Exotic has been married at any time in 2025
It seems they were not married as of 1st November 2024
Fine, but they can refer to each other as husbands if they like
Well, yeah, but I believe the implication is that if they were legally married then Exotic's husband should be a US citizen and shouldn't have been deported.
should be a US citizen
No? You can marry foreign nationals in the US I'd hope
Other way around. A US citizen marrying a foreign national grants the foreign national a path towards citizenship.
After looking further into it, however, it's not an immediate thing. It seems to take 3 years before you can apply for citizenship, and of course you need to remain in the country legally for those 3 years.
A "path" towards citizenship is vague and doesn't really matter in this new world. ICE has been rounding up noncitizens that are married to us citizens. This has been happening and will continue. This link isn't even the story I first thought of when I was typing this reply.

But there's also the assumption that one wants US citizenship which often means giving up any other citizenship you have
I think that even if they were legally married, there are instances where they can still be deported. If the person went into or stayed in America "illegally", they can be deported regardless of marriage status.
That's bullshit. The government shouldn't be deporting people for refusing to participate in their system of regulating love. Just let people live where they want.
