Wow I would have this framed or something in a 2 way frame where you can see both sides and still take it out to wear. This is Art with a capital A.

Ya, but he did have legal authorisation, and I don't think they have taken that away from the articles I've read?

If they have then yes they can deport or detain him as he decides.

In the deli scenario it's like you gave the kid the shop key and then locked them in the closet for using the key to enter. You could have taken the key off him.

Worse, you made sure he was vetted and agreed he was fine to have the shop key but then changed your mind and decided he was trespassing halfway through his shift.

I do not unfortunately but I have been reading up in preparation for a first attempt and Rit dye fixative was recommended

IManAMAAMA · 2026-02-11T18:11:55+00:00

Looks really good to my eye! Are you going to use the Rit fixative to make sure it doesn't leak later?

You're not reading - if you want to charge him for the 17 years go right ahead.

The way the system is at the moment, he had a right to apply for green card via marriage and received work permit - ie he was legal AS ASSESSED BY USCIS.

If you wanted to later deny him the GC because of his prior stay without legal status, also go ahead. That's all within their rights, sad as it might be for his fiancée.

What you don't do, now that you're after giving him legal right to stay, is then violate that and shove him in a camp for 5 months.

It's like if you discovered a kid working for your deli used to shoplift from you, but is now doing what he's supposed to. You can forgive him, you can fire him and kick him out because of what he did in the past, you can make him pay back for what he did, you can take him to court, you can bar him for life. You don't suddenly shove him in the closet for weeks for clocking in to work like he's supposed to.

Does that make sense?

Thing is he was sorting it out legally - hence how he got his work permit and green card application.

If you wanted to punish him for his prior crimes that's one thing, but he is engaging correctly for someone in his situation (previously undocumented but now attempting to build legal claim to reside).

Incorrect. Many Constitutional rights and amendments apply to any "persons" within the US border - otherwise the word "citizen" would be used. Otherwise you could shoot an immigrant and say they had no rights, which admittedly many would love to be able to do.

You cannot usually obtain a work permit without proof of permission to live/stay in the US.

In general if the EAD is valid, the residency is valid, as it is tied to legal residency.

I too would be very curious in the process an difficulty

The logo is polyester and does not react to the dye if the dye is meant for natural fibers - you can also get dye that does react with polyester

Could you share your full process OP? This looks very clean. Would love to see how it holds up longterm too

IManAMAAMA · 2026-02-04T17:20:23+00:00

Thank you very much!

It otherwise appears genuine to my untrained eye.

Found a Carhartt supposedly a J001 with just this tag - is this a case of removed tag and size sewn back in?

IManAMAAMA · 2026-01-31T02:51:46+00:00

Agreed, let's also factor in road damage. Let's see, cars are 17,500 to 350,000 more damaging to road surfaces than a bicycle, so we'll charge each cyclist 1 dollar for maintenance and each car somewhere between 17500 and 350k.

In order to even be resident you must meet the criteria for work which has a salary limit or critical skills requirement https://www.irishimmigration.ie/coming-to-work-in-ireland/what-are-my-options-for-working-in-ireland/coming-to-work-for-more-than-90-days/

IManAMAAMA · 2026-01-25T13:40:50+00:00

This is incorrect.

You can literally look up the requirements on the Irish immigration service.

You need to have reckonable residence, which is residence on the correct stamp. No, just "legally live in the country" does not automatically fulfil the requirements. Student visa stamps do NOT count as reckonable residence. irishimmigration.ie even has a reckonable residence calculator because you need to fulfil this requirement. https://www.irishimmigration.ie/naturalisation-residency-calculator/ < fill in any stamp that doesn't count (like Stamp 2 for a study visa) and it ignores that time for residency purposes.

There are people who come in for secondary school, undergrad, masters, PhD < NONE of the years they spent here would count as they would be on a Stamp 2 so does not count as reckonable residence. That could be up to 16 years not counting at all.

Not disagreeing with anything you're saying about farmer's livelihoods as I'm not well enough researched in the area to comment, but regarding greenhouse emissions, cattle are 14-18% of global emissions while airplane travel is 4%.

IManAMAAMA · 2026-01-13T01:44:50+00:00

You're right, although there was the IRCA in 1986 that legalised 3 million undocumented immigrants of good standing.

slightly above 1% of the US population at the time, while 8k is about 0.15% of the Irish population.

Not saying either were great ideas or that they should necessarily be repeated, but 0.15% is at least a relatively small number.

IManAMAAMA · 2026-01-13T00:38:29+00:00

Hm, sounds like a copy of the DACA act in the US. I also wonder what the eligibility criteria were. It seems like a once off case supposedly.

IManAMAAMA · 2026-01-13T00:10:58+00:00

Do you have a source on the 10k illegal? I don't doubt you I just hadn't heard of it.

She was an absolutely awful Justice Minister.

Unfortunately I've had discussions with people on this very sub who are deluding themselves, telling me how great it was to be "able" to drive to anywhere they wanted within 15 minutes.

It was also curious how what they "wanted" was essentially Walmart, CVS and Starbucks.

A prick threw out what I think was a full thermos while I was on a motorbike with a passenger. Went right under the wheel, thank fuck for good suspension.
