Well it's not hypothetical, I was an illegal immigrant for a decade
>Get tricked by psycho girl into coming here the wrong way, she destroyed my ID, suddenly I'm de facto stateless

I married someone here and have a green card now, for me that was basically the only way, if you just hopped the border instead of getting the wrong visa though I'm pretty sure that bars you from immigrating unless you have a military spouse, and if you EVER lied to immigration about ANYTHING, then you're barred from ever being in the United States and you get super removed

Fun story by the way, I have a black powder shotgun I used for home defense back when it was all I could legally own, I heard a noise one day (turned out to be nothing) and picked it up, the left hammer went down on its own because it's a 200 year old gun, in spite of this it failed to ignite the black powder, proving that two fails do in fact make a win
