    From what i understand it applies to people who entered illegally - maybe before marriage? Now you’re not entitled to a green card unless you leave the country, serve your penance, and reapply.

      I guess it closes a loophole, but to my understanding, more Mexicans have been leaving the country than arriving over the last decade. Perhaps that has changed since Biden took over.

            They’re goading you - trying to get you to call immigrants Mexicans so they can call you racist. Mexican immigrants are the largest group at the southern border, but still well below half of all who enter/attempt to enter there.
