The reason this is relevant is because he has spent the better part of a year complaining about “illegal immigrants” who are “invading” the country. But an old video from 2013 resurfaced on Saturday that appears to show the billionaire admitting he was at one point building his small business in the country illegally, describing it as a “gray area.”

Is.

If he didn't come legally, he's illegal.

Right, magtards?

I would say Trump should deport him to Mexico with the rest of the naturalized citizens, but that wouldn't be fair to Mexico.

It would be hilarious if Trump got sick of his shit and evoked his citizenship and deported. He's petty enough to waste the effort or get one of his flying monkeys to do it.

And make Muskymusk pay for the wall. I know he can afford it.

I guess if Elongated Muskrat were deported to Mexico, and his wealth confiscated, it would SORT OF be like getting Mexico to pay for it.

Afaik he came in legally but broke the conditions of his visa at the time (started work while still on a student visa, or something like that) . Which means once he got the proper visa, he had to lie on the application when asked if he ever did that.

So IS an illegal immigrant..

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So, illegally.

He came in legally, then did things that should have gotten his visa revoked and disqualified him from entering the country again. Which means he wasn't an illegal immigrant, but now he is.

So, illegally.
