But with so much time passed, digging up her father’s past has been tough. Though her dad served in the U.S. military, Cynthia was informed his military records were destroyed in a fire at the government facility where they were housed.
Without enough evidence, Cynthia is not eligible for dual citizenship, which means she won’t be able to collect her Social Security retirement benefits, which she estimates are worth about $2,000 per month.
“Fuck you, this is our fault.”
Oh, so they’re gonna refund all her contributions to the system over the last 60 years, right? /s
She may get a bill for all the money she has received thus far for her social security payments.
Does that usually happen for undocumented immigrants?
This is what happens when you elect representatives who use immigration to scare their constituents. The system never gets fixed and in fact gets dismantled piece by piece over time.
Is it the system? Sure. But the assholes these people likely voted for made it that way.
Wonder how they vote? Pretty sure the guy was a Trumper so its pretty hilarious when he presciently says I’m probably in a lot of trouble while laughing it off
Hey, @TheBat@lemmy.world, you posted the wrong URL for this. The article you posted was about a Florida woman named Cynthia Down, not a man.
More than halfway through the article they do mention a man named Jimmy Klass, who is in a similar situation. They link to an article that shares the headline you used. I am certain that you meant to post this URL: https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/state/more-than-60-years-after-moving-to-the-u-s-florida-man-discovers-hes-not-here-legally
Is she not eligible for citizenship through her husband?
