(6,894 posts)There are plenty of people who come to the US as adults, especially if they have a US spouse, and don't want to get US citizenship. It's been perfectly ordinary to spend 30 or 40 or 50 years here on a green card - again, especially for spouses of US citizens. It was not a targeted category of people as it seems to be under the Miller-Trump regime.
I will also note that this couple was a little naive. It sounds to me like she was arrested for the bad check, which suggests that it was deliberate in the eyes of the prosecutor (they don't really arrest you for simply messing up your checkbook). It was serious enough for her to get probation, despite the attempt to downplay it. I'd bet if you look into that incident, it's more than a $25 mistaken overdraft and probably has some elements of consistent fraud. For them not to grasp that this arrest and conviction would be an issue in Trump 2 was very poor judgment.
