Brad explains that a U.S. citizen can live outside the U.S. indefinitely and never lose their citizenship.

Brad explains that the U.S. government is increasingly searching phones at the airport, using the information they find against individuals, especially those entering on B2 tourist visas. He points out that there is no constitutional protection for search or privacy at the airport until you are officially admitted into the U.S. If you’re entering on a B2 visa, your only purpose should be to be a tourist—not to work or marry. #B2Visa #AirportSearches #ImmigrationLaw #BradBernstein #SparBernstein #ImmigrationPolicy #BorderSecurity #viralvideo #fyp #marriagegreencard
Brad advises that there is no waiting period after getting your green card to file a petition for a family member.

Brad reassures those worried about potential deportation under a Trump presidency by emphasizing one law that will remain unchanged: marrying a U.S. citizen can still lead to a green card.

Brad discusses the severe consequences of deporting all undocumented farm workers, who make up nearly 50% of the U.S. agricultural labor force. Such mass deportations could lead to devastating impacts on the food supply, skyrocketing prices, and labor shortages, ultimately crippling the agricultural industry. #FarmWorkers #ImmigrationImpact #FoodSupply #BradBernstein #SparBernstein #deport #fy #fyp
Wathc video to know your rights when ICE raids your place of empoyment. Brad explains what to do if ICE comes to your place of employment. Employers should not allow ICE agents into the workplace without a judicial warrant. As an employee, you are not obligated to speak to ICE or stand in groups discussing your immigration status. If you feel threatened, do not run away, as this can escalate the situation. Instead, try to calmly walk out the door if it’s safe to do so. Protect your rights and consult an immigration attorney immediately if you’re affected. #KnowYourRights #ICEEnforcement #ImmigrationLaw #BradBernstein #SparBernstein

Replying to @real thing Brad advises that if you are deported, any money in your U.S. bank account remains yours.

Brad explains that the legal immigration process became more challenging under Trump’s administration due to stricter policies, increased scrutiny, and added obstacles in applications and processing times. Expect the same for his second go around. #ImmigrationPolicy #LegalImmigration #BradBernstein #SparBernstein
Brad explains the difference between using a visitor’s visa for one long visit versus trying to live in the U.S. on a visitor’s visa, which is prohibited. While it’s generally acceptable to stay for the full duration granted on a single visit (up to six months), repeatedly returning for extended periods or effectively living in the U.S. on a visitor’s visa can raise red flags with immigration officials and lead to potential visa issues. The visitor’s visa is intended for temporary stays, not residency. #VisitorsVisa #ImmigrationLaw #TravelTips #BradBernstein #SparBernstein #fyp
Brad frequently answers this question: If you come to the U.S. on a tourist visa with the intent of giving birth, you have violated the terms of your visa. A tourist visa is not meant for giving birth in the U.S., and doing so can be considered a misuse of the visa, potentially affecting future immigration opportunities. #TouristVisa #VisaViolation #ImmigrationLaw #BradBernstein #SparBernstein #BornInTheUSA #fypシ #fyp
Brad explains that the U.S. government provides a platform for Americans to report undocumented individuals through the official ICE website at ice.gov.

Brad Bernstein addresses media discussions about potential denaturalization efforts under the Trump administration. He notes that identifying individuals for denaturalization is a complex and lengthy process, given the vast number of applications to review. Additionally, the 2017 Supreme Court ruling in Maslenjak v. United States raised the standard for denaturalization, requiring that any false statements made during the naturalization process must be material to the decision to grant citizenship. Brad sarcastically suggests that two individuals who could be scrutinized are Elon Musk and Prince Harry, as both have made statements that call into question their eligibility for U.S. citizenship. #Denaturalization #ImmigrationLaw #MaslenjakCase #ElonMusk #PrinceHarry #BradBernstein #SparBernstein ##KnowYourRights #ImmigrationLaw #SparBernstein #DeportationDefense #immigratuonsolutions #fyp
Brad shares his thoughts on what could happen on January 20th, 2025, if Trump becomes president. He predicts a flurry of executive orders targeting immigration, including: 1️⃣ Border Closures: Trump could close the U.S.-Mexico border and potentially block people who entered without inspection from applying for asylum. He might require asylum applications to be filed from Mexico or stop asylum applications altogether. 2️⃣ Deportations: Under a “border czar” like Tom Homan, the administration may focus on deporting individuals with final orders of removal, as these cases do not require a judge’s review. They may also detain undocumented people living in the same households, who would then face lengthy court proceedings due to the massive immigration court backlog. 3️⃣ Court Challenges: Most of these executive orders will face legal challenges in liberal-leaning jurisdictions, where judges are more likely to side with immigrants. However, over time, these cases will likely make their way to the conservative-leaning Supreme Court, which could take months or years to decide. Brad reassures viewers that widespread street detentions are unlikely, as immigrants are entitled to bail and cannot be held indefinitely. While Trump may attempt to enforce strict immigration measures, many of his policies will face significant legal hurdles. #ImmigrationPolicy #ExecutiveOrders #AsylumRights #BradBernstein #SparBernstein #ImmigrationHelp
Brad explains that under Trump, people with final orders of removal, criminal records, or those who have committed fraud against the U.S. government are most at risk of deportation. However, everyone else is entitled to see a judge and have a removal hearing, a process that can take years—likely extending beyond Trump’s presidency. #ImmigrationLaw #DeportationDefense #KnowYourRights #BradBernstein #SparBernstein #ImmigrationTips #immigratuonsolutions #fyp
Brad advises that dual citizens can use both of their passports. For example, you can enter Mexico using your Mexican passport and then return to the U.S. using your U.S. passport. This ensures compliance with both countries’ entry and exit requirements. #DualCitizenship #TravelTips #ImmigrationLaw #BradBernstein #sparbernstein #mexican
