I never said I knew anything about immigration. Nor do I propose that any illegality goes unpunished. DHS will do a comprehensive background check and determine what crimes/offenses have been committed.
Under the law, if you are here illegally, you are subject to deportation.
The way the visa process works, whether it is for a temporary visa (tourist, work, study) or a permanent immigrant visa, the application takes place in an AMERICAN EMBASSY OR CONSULATE, not in the host country's embassy in the US. We decide who comes into this country, not the country of origin.
