immediate relative

Read a random definition: namation

A quick definition of immediate relative:

Immediate relatives are the people who are closest to you in your family. They can be your parents, spouse, children, siblings, or grandparents. You can become immediate relatives through blood, adoption, or marriage. The rules about who counts as an immediate relative can be different depending on the law or regulation. For example, in immigration law, U.S. citizens can have more immediate relatives than permanent residents. This can affect how quickly they can get a Green Card. In some cases, the family members of restricted individuals may also be limited in what financial transactions they can do.

A more thorough explanation:

Immediate relatives are the closest family members, such as parents, spouses, and children. They can also include siblings and grandparents, depending on the law or regulation. These relationships are created through blood, adoption, or marriage.

  • In immigration law, immediate relatives of U.S. citizens applying for family-based immigrant visas include spouses, children, parents, and siblings. For permanent residents, immediate relatives are limited to spouses and unmarried children.
  • Under FINRA regulations, restricted individuals' immediate families are their parents or subsidiaries of them or their parents. These family members may be restricted from certain financial transactions, such as stock transactions.

These examples illustrate how the scope of immediate relatives can vary depending on the law or regulation. The definition of immediate relatives can affect their rights and responsibilities, as well as the processing of certain applications or transactions.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.
