The New York Times would like you to know that law enforcement is doing their job of enforcing the law. They even wrote a whole article about it.
ICE is detaining foreign citizens at airports with expired U.S. visas, including spouses of Americans, according to documents obtained by The New York Times and interviews with immigration lawyers. https://t.co/gHPgFnhc6r

So, ICE is detaining people in America illegally. Isn't that what they are supposed to do? There are also laws about helping people here illegally, so that's probably why their citizen spouses are also being detained. Those pesky laws.
Yes… you can’t enter the country if your visa is expired. That’s the entire point of a visa.

The most basic immigration enforcement. https://t.co/FTPEi9UxSA
What a concept.
So the government is doing its job. I guess that’s news. https://t.co/vA9eZQsyht

To be fair, there are many times when that is not the case. Maybe that's why the NYT is so shocked by the development.
If they have been inspected and admitted, and are an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen they are eligible to apply for adjustment of status from inside the country. Why haven’t they? https://t.co/eI8JDjIMgz

Pish posh. Who wants to do all that pesky paperwork? Why can't they just stay and break the law and be left alone?
Sorry the law doesn’t stop existing just because you married someone

Illegals are illegal if you overstayed your visa you know exactly what you were doing in most cases
And alot of these so called marriages are fraud (look up marriage fraud on center for immigration studies) https://t.co/otZX5Z9VpA

Also, do it more quickly.
🔔 Well, airports are within ICE’s jurisdiction, so. 👍 https://t.co/3hQeOwjL9z

The comments are struggling to figure out what the problem is.
Excellent. Deport them all. https://t.co/75Icc1s74f

Cops will also detain you if you drive with an expired license.

And you'd better believe New York cops will detain you if you carry a firearm with an expired carry license. https://t.co/Cdz2OKLdHe
Sorry you misunderstand. ONLY American citizens are required to follow laws. Those in America as guests don't have to follow laws and also, they can stay here as long as they want and America better not say one word about it.
Wow! You mean ICE is enforcing the law?

Keep your head on swivel.
Not really seeing a downside here, I thought that was what should have been happening all along? It's kind of important paperwork. https://t.co/vVKfGL3bIP

People are so heartless - Democrats, probably.
