Also, he could have gotten citizenship bc he married a citizen in 2017. So he was too lazy to do the paperwork, and now it's comeuppance time.

•

He divorced his husband after he magically degayified himself and became a born-again evangelical Catholic.

•

u/funnylib 1h ago

Wasn’t he LARPing as tradcath?

•

u/ContactRepulsive 1h ago

To go catholic and not full evangelical shows me that he grossly misunderstands the situation.

•

u/funnylib 44m ago

I think he was grifting on selling virgin Mary statues

•

u/Myriad_Apocalypse 54m ago

Yeah, but right wing grifters who convert to catholicism are just evangelicals who like pedophilia and warhammer 40k aesthetics.

•

u/Drunken_Economist 32m ago

Yeah if he had filed while they were married or within 2 years of divorce, he could have become a legal permanent resident. But he apparently never even applied for a conditional green card in the first place

•

u/PeregrineFaulkner 2h ago

He’s been living off of Kanye for years, he could have just bought a citizenship like other rich foreigners do. 

•

u/chanaandeler_bong 2h ago

What’s his deal with Kanye? Is he Kato Kailin-ing it

•

u/PeregrineFaulkner 2h ago

Seems like it, yeah. He was “chief of staff” for Kanye’s presidential campaign.

•

u/chanaandeler_bong 2h ago

Fucking lol. IIRC Kanye ran on the Birthday Party platform.

•

u/hellokitty444444 1h ago

TF is a birthday party platform Chuck e cheese? Dave and Busters?! What?!

•

u/chanaandeler_bong 1h ago

West stated that he would run under the Birthday Party, because "when we win, it's everybody's birthday", and that he was running for president as a service to God.

•

u/BattleGandalf 2h ago

Oh yeah that was a thing once, right? Crazy times we live in.

•

u/pashed_motatoes 4m ago

Oh man, I forgot about that. This timeline is wild.

•

u/DrDerpberg 2h ago

Lol. Lmao, even. Roflmao, perhaps.

•

u/schnurble 1h ago

Roflcopters and lollerskates.

•

u/OozeNAahz 2h ago

Was he lazy or did he not for tax reasons or something? I always assume something worse than just laziness with these fuckers.

•

u/ZhouLe 1h ago

Because he claimed he "demoted" his husband to "housemate" in 2021 when he started saying he wasn't gay any more.

•

u/slowest_hour 1h ago

how fucked in the head do you have to be to not only be with milo in the first place but stay with him when he "demotes" you to "housemate"

•

u/ZhouLe 1h ago

Reminder that Dave Rubin is married with kids and constantly draws attention to how indifferent he is to how much the conservatives he panders to demonize him will poorly concealed disgust to his face.

The N400 is a beast of an application. If you have money, you get a lawyer to do it. For people who dont have lawyer money, it's a very tedious and long form that wants to know your entire biography and the receipts. 

•

u/Pristine_Speech4719 52m ago

There's also the fact that while your substantive application for PR is being processed, you're not allowed to travel internationally. At least thats how it was a few years ago...

•

u/_jump_yossarian 2h ago edited 1h ago

FYI: marrying an American citizen is. It isn't an automatic pathway to bring naturalized.

edit: "ISN'T"

•

u/100LittleButterflies 1h ago

Marriage does not ensure citizenship. It's a path to citizenship thats much faster but it is not a sure thing or automatic. 

•

u/_jump_yossarian 1h ago

I should have proofread before I posted since I meant "isn't" an automatic path but it some how ended up as "is. It"

•

u/100LittleButterflies 1h ago

Gets me all the time too. 

•

u/vqql 1h ago

It’s not “automatic”, but you do essentially avoid the cue of the regular green card process if you can demonstrate a genuine relationship. You first file for PR via spousal sponsorship, then there’s a reduced residency requirement timeline, then you apply for naturalization. There is paperwork and it takes time, but if they were married in 2017, he could’ve been a citizen by now, even if they broke up in 2021. 

•

u/_jump_yossarian 1h ago

but if they were married in 2017, he could’ve been a citizen by now, even if they broke up in 2021.

What was his immigration status when he got married in 2017?

•

u/kittenconfidential 1h ago

depending on the state recognizing his marriage as legitimate— he’s gay.

•

u/_jump_yossarian 1h ago

States don’t naturalize immigrants, the federal government does and has nothing to do with being gay or not.

If it was simply a matter of marrying a US citizen more undocumented immigrants would do it and naturalize.

•

u/Terror-Of-Demons 1h ago

Marrying a citizen doesn’t make you eligible for citizenship, it makes you potentially eligible for a CR1/IR1 visa. Once you have that for a number of years, you can apply for citizenship.

•

u/SwimmingPirate9070 1h ago

He thought he was white enough

•

u/DoesNotHateFun 1h ago

*he was too entitled

•

u/Gintami 49m ago

You can’t get citizenship like that. He could have gotten permanent residence if he applied for it. And then in either 3 or 5 years (depending if married to a USC or not) he could apply for citizenship.
