It's presumed, si and 🙄 and man! And why isn't Mr. mam ma'am or a Landscape Mexican mowing, huh huh huh mam ma'am?

Anyone here may correct me, but it seems doubtful that an unintended offense as a 10-year-old minor would count against him now. Especially if he, as an adult, has a good travel history (leaving his home country and returning) and has solid ties to his current country that would overcome the default assumption that "every tourist is a potential immigrant," I would think that he would have as good a chance at being granted a tourist visa as anyone else would. If he applies for the tourist visa, let us know the outcome.

It's not obvious at all that the person seeks to "immigrate" with use of a tourist visa; the OP asks about "applying legally for a visa" that happens to be a tourist visa. --- Thread is moved from General Immigration Discussion to the Tourist Visas forum.

Crybabies. Actions have consequences. ~~~~~~~~~~ Pro-Hamas Protesters Seeking Amnesty to Protect Their Future Careers Student protesters find themselves in a bit of a bind if they get arrested for their actions on campus. Hundreds of students across the country have been suspended while some have even been expelled for their actions. But imagine you're a recruiter for a Fortune 500 company or a white shoes law firm. The chances of a protester overcoming his or her "youthful indiscretion" and getting hired are somewhere between slim and none. So, many of the students who saw it as a badge of honor to spend a few hours in lockup suddenly realized their future career prospects were out the window. They either want amnesty or their records expunged to avoid the consequences of their actions.

Jonathan Turley makes things clear, yet again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Alvin Bragg and the art of not taking the law too seriously Rube Goldberg, the inventor of bizarre machines that performed simple tasks through dozens of mechanical steps, was once asked about the essence of creating such fantastic, illogical machines. He replied "An inventor is simply a fellow who doesn't take his education too seriously." After the first week of testimony, the trial of Donald Trump is increasingly looking like a mad prosecution machine by lawyers who don’t take law too seriously.

Sunday! Time for our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke (known for prompting approvals and good news, assuming that correlation = causation): ============================================================= A FEW DUMB JOKES Every day, my wife takes the car out, and she comes back with the same question: "Guess who I ran into?" My wife is really into do-it-yourself. Every time I ask her to fix something, she says, "Oh, do it yourself." My wife does her own decorating, but she overdoes it. The other day, I opened the refrigerator, and there was a lampshade on the light bulb. A dog bit a chunk out of my leg the other day. My friend said, "Did you put anything on it?" I said, "No; he liked it as it was." A leopard went to see a psychiatrist. He said, "Every time I look at my girlfriend, I see spots before my eyes." The psychiatrist said, "That's only natural." The leopard said, "But doctor -- she's a zebra." "Hey, Siri -- open the App Store." "I don't see an app called 'App Store.' You'll need to get that from the App Store first."
