Immigrants who apply for a change in status might be deported if denied

Even if you don't apply for a change in status according to this: Sam is a software engineer. His employer sponsors him for a green card—but is then acquired by another firm. USCIS denies the petition, saying there is insufficient proof the new employer can continue the sponsorship in the shoes of the old employer. Sam now faces deportation.

This administration's views is not merely that there are too many illegal immigrants, it's that there are too many legal immigrants. And there are not too many white immigrants, as the chief executive asked out loud why we don't have more Norwegians coming into the country. The policy trend is very clearly white nationalism. But this is completely consistent with someone who vocalized his racism for decades before running for president, and for five years accusing the man who would become his predecessor of being an immigrant and therefore an illegitimate president.
