> Must be outside of your context window. You were clearly drawing in the idea this backlog of cases and immigration state we're in is the result largely from Biden's term. I see no other real reason to include such a statement. It's been true for decades.

Sure. However, areas I am interested in, become significantly worse the past 3-4 years, e.g., EB2-NIW, and similar categories. I have no idea why you think I mentioned it as a "Biden's fault" comment. But, whatever lol

> Not what I'm suggesting in the slightest.

Then why are you arguing that anyone on a valid visa but engaging in unauthorized work becomes an illegal immigrant?

> Denying obvious facts. Incredible.

Where?

I am.

I am not interested, tbh. I have a life. Our convo began with me asking you for an example of a documented-> undocumented->documented transition, and you failed to provide it. Instead, you tried to argue that someone who is on a valid status but engages in unauthorized employment is illegal immigrant, which I disputed. Then, you backtracked, and went on a tangent about Biden, Trump, camps, etc.

So just willfully ignorant. Strange how you seem to be so well versed on the topic but choose to bury your head in the sand on anything current.

> Then, you backtracked

I have not changed my stance on anything I've claimed in this entire thread.

> someone who is on a valid status but engages in unauthorized employment is illegal immigrant

I mean, they are. They're overstaying their work visa and are fraudulently applying and staying under a different visa under false pretenses. What do we call people who overstay visas (continuing employment under a temporary work visa) and apply for other visas under false pretenses?

I guess I did fail to show a documented->undocumented->documented, only a legal->illegal->legal change. Sorry, my bad. They're still involved in illegal, undocumented labor. But even then, that's under the assumption they bothered applying for some other visa in the in-between time, not everyone does.

You do not have to overstay to engage in unauthorized employment. Did you even read what I’ve wrote?
