A really interesting read from a different, honest perspective. From one actually involved and caught up in the immigration problem.

First British Citizen Deported Under Trump Urges "Give Him A Chance"

This world is in a real state of decay. Donald Trump, love him or despise him, has brought a new order to the world and has raised the standards for the entire planet. I implore you to give him a chance. I honestly do not think he is going to let any of us down. You may be wondering who am I to say this to you.

My wife has filed for divorce. Those people that I love have been taken from me. I am currently hunting for work in a nation that persecutes Christians and employs foreign labor at will because they are cheaper. I am one of the people who has more reasons to bitterly resent Donald Trump than most.

Instead, I choose to support him because he has quite literally saved the life of every man, woman, and child on this planet. It is time for you to see your good fortune in this man, and to support him in all that he does.


I am the first British citizen to be deported under Donald Trump and have become a Pro-Trump voice from here in the U.K.

A little more from the article from the beginning:

A few weeks later, I was in Nash County Jail waiting to be picked up by immigration police. I was taken to Wake County Jail and then to Atlanta City Detention Center, or as I politely call it-hell on earth. Seriously, if you are planning to commit a crime in Atlanta, please think again. I lost 40lbs in three months of incarceration waiting to be deported and banished from the nation that I love.

I could blame circumstance. I could blame President Trump's tough stance on immigration. I could blame myself, or I could blame what happened to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services under the Obama administration. I am going to choose the last two. I had ample time to apply for my Green Card, and as a man married to an American citizen, while it was expensive, we could have gotten it done.

@Robert: just curious, but you think he should be deported?

I've finished reading the article and the story doesn't check. A greencard application for a person married to an american proceeds pretty swiftly and is not expensive (IIRC 3k to 5K USD, can be paid in stages to the lawyer).

They are also generally processed in just 1 year.

Finally, once you have started the process, unless there was a pending order to deportation, USCIS won't call ICE to deport the subject.

Even in such cases, you can still get a lawyer and file an appeal.

He spent most of his article praising how awesome Trump is but skips on his legal status on USA, until the very end when he briefly mentions that his 'wife' has filed for divorce.

How he had a valid SSN to file for tax reimbursements but at same time had a deportation order pending on his head is beyond my understanding. It seems to be the case(?) he had an ITIN, which does not equate to the right to legally work in USA.

Assuming this guy really exists, he is right on one thing though: blaming himself.

To quote the president: "_ Fake news!".

IF,  it is real yes I do think he should be deported
