Friendly reminder that Satan (and the Democrats during the immigration debate, but I repeat myself) quoted scripture too.

we take it for granted today, but a single dorito has more extreme nacho flavor than a european in the 2000s would get in his whole lifetime
The actual statute of limitations is one year, and if you’re past that without status then the re-entry bar should not be a mere ten years, but for life.

You were regularly in contact with USCIS.
When TPS was cancelled it was not "automatic." The cancellation is effective at the end of the current TPS period, or not less than 60 days later depending on which is longer.
You knew the day of departure was going to come at some point. It was your mistake to treat the situation as if you were suddenly a citizen and could built a life as such.
As a visa holder, you could have started the process to become a permanent resident alien while TPS was in place.
This is why only about 1000 Somalis are subject to removal with the ending of TPS when nearly 100,000 came into the U.S. They normalized their status while under TPS protection.
Also, this whole “overstayed for four years” thing could be misleading. Here’s a real case of someone I know, again, not my husband.
You enter with a tourist visa in 2021 to attend a relative’s wedding. While you’re visiting, TPS is granted to all Venezuelans currently in the country, and you’re legally welcome to stay through this blanket amnesty program. You’re issued a social security number. You’re issued a work permit. You’re issued a driver’s license. You file a W-2 and pay taxes.
In November 2025, TPS is discontinued. You’re now immediately “illegal.” Your last visa, the tourist visa, expired six months after you arrived, in mid 2021, and the government would consider you to have overstayed that visa for four years.
How is this possible, you ask? This person was continuously legal? How can you retroactively declare someone illegal during that four year period?
This is the girl math that’s being done and why I distrust the DHS narrative about Samuel Sey, who manifestly didn’t consider himself to be an illegal alien and voluntarily went to an airport.
Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell did it better
Update from the Seys:
“My husband Samuel Sey entered the United States legally and has been working ever since in good faith with a lawyer to obtain permanent legal status. Our family is trying to understand what went wrong in the process. In the spirit of Romans 13, our family fully supports and respects American law and are prayerfully working to get him home through the legal process.”

We have a 1 hour non-skippable, non-fast forward substance abuse video and test. They sent it at 11:30. It has to be completed by noon.
I started the video and emailed our HR team. They are confused about my complaint that it's impossible to finish a 1 hour course in 30 minutes

Absolutely not.
My good friend, an American, is married to an Italian citizen. She lives in Italy and visits him here once a year while she works through the process of getting a green card. It's not easy on them at all, but they're doing it the right and legal way.
And, no, they haven't started a GFM to defray the legal costs of having to hire an immigration attorney. They're footing the bill because they do not see themselves as victims.
Please do not call yourself a conservative if you think your friends deserve to be an exception to American law. Just ridiculous.
Please pray for Samuel Sey (@SlowToWrite) and his wife, Annie, and their kids. I feel especially for Annie and the kids. They deserve so much better. They shouldn’t have to wonder when their daddy and husband will be able to come home.
I know I differ with many conservatives on immigration. I am all for cracking down on criminals; particularly violent and sexual predators. Absolutely, kick them out.
But there are a lot of genuinely sweet people who just want a better life for themselves and their kids.
And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Yes, they should immigrate legally. But even legal immigration in our country is a convoluted, expensive, and lengthy process. Mistakes happen. Corners get cut in desperation.
We need to simplify it.
We need to open the door for hard working, honest, family-folks like Samuel, while keeping out malevolent threats.
This shouldn’t be complicated.
People are making it complicated.

Samuel Sey’s impending removal per se brings me no joy. Immigration law is merciless and too many have been softened by lax and subjective application over the years. Wherever he lands I wish him safety and a successful, continued ministry.
HOWEVER: his supporters have revealed a lot about themselves the past few days. First they say it was a clerical error, then when they have no proof of this all they have left is “this is a good man, trust me bro.” Maybe they should be the ones collecting facts first before putting their reputations on the line by disservicing the truth.
And the end of it all, we all should serve the truth. It’s the least of our standards here.
Wait. I spoke too soon about his ↕️✌🏼ministry✌🏼↕️ . I wish him no ill on his safety in Ghana or Canada or wherever else he lands, but I hope he repents and finds a spiritual home in Rome.
