Confused on a pro-ICE talking point and how to respond (r.50501.chat)

When I have discussions with people about the immigration process, something i have heard several times, “the right way to immigrate is to establish residency and then move back to your country of origin until citizenship is granted” or some form of the same concept.

Is this not illegal?

When I looked into this I became more confused because of the 6-12 months rule being vague on if you can break it up (i.e. 3 months away, 1 month in the US, repeat).

Personally this seems like the most insane thing to assume is reasonable, if I can purchase houses in other countries comfortably, why would I seek citizenship or amnesty… or refuge

Even aside from the point that some people will be horribly killed before the paperwork is done... what do these people think "residency" even means? So rather than have these people who want to come here live here, and start to adapt and integrate, they should instead delay integrating into our society and go back where they came from after getting permission to live here, so they can apply for citizenship, to... live here?
