POLITICS: what have you done for us lately?

If her mother came over and she wasn't a citizen, would her daughter be a citizen?

Yes.
There was even a whole thing about Republicans wanting to end that because some illegal immigrants would come into the country pregnant, have a baby in the US, then use the fact that their children couldn't be deported as a defense against their own deportation.
At least, according to Fox News/Talk Radio types that's how it goes and went.

I'll ask a question here because no one answered me on Facebook about it.

So as far as DACA goes. It gave people amnesty and allowed them to stay in the country with work visas or whatever they needed to stay. Correct?

So, I have a few questions. These are honest to God questions and I am in no way trying to be mean or offensive. I do not know the answers.

When the DACA laws were put into place could people who received amnesty also apply for citizenship or permanent residency?

If the answer is yes, then was it just something that was ridiculously hard to do?

I feel like there has to be some way that this could be done correctly and 800k people won't have to leave. At least I hope.

No. Basically the DACA, deprioritized the deportation of one group of immigrants (the dreamers) since you can't deport everyone at once.

Make your own jokes. As a white guy who shaves his head because of male pattern awesomeness I am sensitive about being perceived as a racist. I have a beard, try to smile at people to let them know I am not just a big scary dude. Etc. It really bothers me that in 2017 we still have so many race issues.

How is your boot game?

[codetocontra]

Currently wearing black steel toe caterpillar boots. I realize now that this is not working in my favor.

[Iommic Pope]

Yeah we arent allowed to wear boots at the moment.
I have like 4-5 pairs of cons right now to compensate for that.
These motherfuckers.
Ruining footwear for everyone.

[Iommic Pope]

Less importantly, Brexit just passed its first parliamentary vote and China actually voted on North Korean sanctions.
Both te opposite of what I thought was going to happen (sort of).

[codetocontra]

It is a work thing. Though for a long while I didn't own any other footwear. Well, some bowling shoes.

[Iommic Pope]

Back when I was young and had hair, it was long, and all I wore were boots.
Mostly because you could buy a pair and theyd last ten times longer than regular shoes.
If you need em for work, whatever.

AFAIK the Brexit vote is mostly just to ensure that EU laws are reclassified as UK laws so when it happens there won't be any weird delays.

But now they want to change what they've just voted on so who knows.

[Iommic Pope]

I knew they were trying to make it seamless on theblaws and standards front, which seems kind of pointless to me really. Why bail on the EU if youre gonna carry on with the rules you didnt like anyway?
But I'm more surprised that theyve taken a step so soon. I kinda figured theyd drag it out as long as possible.

Didnt hear there was a reneg in the works. It seemed like a convincing majority affirmed, but I know shit about the British system wven though we inherited a chunk of it.
