    I can't believe I have to fact-check the president on this, but you can't "apply for citizenship" at the US border. You can only apply for it if you have a green card, which you can only get if you have specific existing ties to the US.

        Applying for a green card happens at embassies and consulates, not ports of entry, I thought? (Serious question. Dara teaches me something i don’t know abt immigration law daily)

        Sorry, yeah, I didn't mean you could apply for a GC but not natz _at_ POEs, I meant those 2 things separately: 1) you can't apply there and 2) you can only apply under X circumstances

        It would be less rediculous if he wasn't MARRIED TO A NATURALIZED CITIZEN! "Hey honey, did you get citizenship at the border?" "No Donald, thats not a thing." "Whew, glad I asked. That would have looked pretty silly."

        I think very, very few people understand this and it's taken for granted by the media that more than 1-2% of Americans know how you "get in line"

        This, but also so many Americans assume they know how the immigration system works when they don't.

        They think family legends about grandparents "getting in line" are true, and to the extent they're not totally BS still operative/relevant

        You would think he would be more educated on immigration laws given that his wife and in-laws have all benefited from our immigration system.

        Wives, plural, and 2 sets of in laws. Ivana brought her parents too. Don Jr speaks Czech because they didn’t speak much English when he was young.

        6 months to 2 years to get permanent residency depending on your country of origin and who sponsors you. Person is approved at the US Embassy not at the border. Then 3-5 years to get US citizenship. Want all the form numbers?

        And you have to live in US for 5 years before applying for citizenship.

        It is astonishing how little POTUS knows about how our government actually works. It is also disturbing because this is the man with access to the nuclear codes.

        That's what they have been trying to tell him. But he gets something in his mind he don't listen to anybody. That's why he doesn't have a staff anymore
