The person deleted their comment before I got a chance to respond, so this is more of a response to them than to you. I really hate this sort of "faux long term" shit that I keep hearing about how "it's really a good thing because maybe the DNC will get better!!!!!!!!", because it sort of makes this assumption that the election of a demagogue isn't going to have any long-term, permanent damage. My wife is a Mexican immigrant. She does have a green card, but as it stands I'm slightly worried that the dipshit in office is going to try revoking those, meaning we might be stuck moving to a different country. I think we will be ok, but frankly I do not care about someone's completely unearned opinion about how we're going to get a leftist utopia "eventually".

Assuming you're an US citizen or permanent resident they shouldn't be able to do anything? I mean, obviously Trump has shown he has zero respect for the law, but there's no way he can make it legal to deport the wife of a citizen?!

  I am a US citizen. I think we are safe, and we are currently in the process of waiting for her citizenship status to be approved, but it’s tough to say. I could see Trump hearing some insane rambling from Fox News and decide to issue an executive order revoking all green cards.

      We will be alright. I tend to land on my feet, and if I have to get a job in another country, I’ll do it. It’s just frustrating, because I love the US. Despite everything, I love living here, I grew up here, I don’t want to leave. My wife was brought here when she was eight years old, she’s 31 now, and the current presidential administration has just decided that that’s not enough. I live in NYC, which is fairly progressive, and while we have been looking to leave this city, I think it might be a good idea to stay here until she’s a fully naturalized citizen.
