It's an arbitrary wait time for just simple paperwork. That's all, but instead of expediting the process for current undocumented immigrants Harris will also deport them. Just, you know, she'll do it with fervent bi-partisanship and a 'she/her' pin. Its still ultra-nationalist. Basically this election is 98% Hitler vs like 85%. The parties run that way as well.
