Wow. Any argument to contest this? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Relive The Civil Rights Era. Send in The Troops In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day this week, every liberal made the totally original point that anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis are walking in King's footsteps! King protested—and they're protesting. See? Same thing. In any liberal morality play, Democrats always get to be the shivering, oppressed black people, while Republicans have to play the part of Bull Connor, Birmingham, AL's racist commissioner of public safety. Except the facts are exactly the opposite. I'm sure you're bored of hearing this, but Connor was a Democrat, as were all the politicians promising "massive resistance" to racial integration. Republicans were the ones forcing Democrats to abide by federal law, along with a few John Fetterman-style Democrats. But the biggest fraud the media is trying to push on America is their total erasure of the most heroic actions ever taken by U.S. presidents: invoking the Insurrection Act and sending troops to the states to enforce federal law against protesting Democratic governors and individual citizens.

Oh, this is great! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Blue Lives Matter Says It Decoyed Anti-ICE Crazies [...] In a bombshell post Jan. 21, Blue Lives Matter wrote on X, "We're not saying that Blue Lives Matter was behind feeding false information to far-left, anti-ICE protestors. We're not saying we had teams comprised of HUNDREDS of off-duty cops and veterans volunteer to run decoy operations so far-left activists THOUGHT they were conducting ICE raids." It continued, "We're not saying they were in fact they were just driving around in what appeared to be unmarked vehicles with tinted windows... drinking coffee and listening to Guns and Roses.... being chased down and surrounded by protestors. What we ARE saying is that if it DID happen.... it sure worked remarkably well in NINE DIFFERENT STATES, allowing ACTUAL raids to successfully take place unimpeded, helping support the capture of HUNDREDS of criminals."

The only ones that I can think of are purely functional: marriage certificates in English (not needing potential translation), and additional copies would be promptly and readily ordered online or by visiting a nearby courthouse. In comparison, getting copies from a foreign country might be time-consuming and more expensive.

Welcome to the forum! Folks will be along with answers to your very thoughtful questions. Others may think differently, but another avenue for you is to become naturalized first, then file the I-130. This way, you needn't worry about converting from F2A status, because you'll already be a USC. If you're married for at least 2 years before she enters with use of the I-130, she'd get a 10-year green card upon entry, thus saving much money and paperwork later. What's your current citizenship? What's hers?

Welcome to the forum! This process is painfully slow, but every little step is a gain. We're with you.

Finally -- the truth is admitted. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At SCOTUS, Lisa Cook's Attorney Admits Trump Can Fire His Client From The Fed In a stunning admission, Democrat Lisa Cook's attorney conceded that President Trump possesses the legal authority to remove his client from her role as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. The moment came during Wednesday's Supreme Court oral arguments in Trump v. Cook, which centers around a request brought by the Trump administration to pause a lower court injunction preventing Cook's removal. As The Federalist previously reported, Trump fired Cook in August over allegations that she committed mortgage fraud prior to joining the Fed.

This whole piece is worth reading and reflecting on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ICE protesters are storming churches now? This has to stop. Once again, leftists are on the wrong side of a vital issue. And once again, things are not as they appear. I watched news coverage of anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protesters in Minnesota storming Cities Church, a Baptist church in St. Paul, during a Sunday morning service on Jan. 18, and I felt a twinge of righteous indignation. Some leftists seem to hate law, order and President Donald Trump so much that they will interrupt a church service of evangelical Christians to make a point and possibly defy state and federal laws. They have crossed a line. Anti-ICE protesters, former CNN host Don Lemon in tow, screamed at Christians as they worshipped God, "Justice for Renee Good," and "Hands up! Don't shoot!"
