Just got told to get my green card

My fiancées brother just got engaged recently and we have big group chat with her family and significant others and his fiancée just said "Get a green card (my name)". For context her family is extremely republican, but they know of my situation and I am very active in educating them about people in my similar situation and stuff. I guess in my openness some people may have gotten the impression that it was okay to make these jokes. IDK am I being to sensitive about her comment? I was at work when she sent the text, and I did shed maybe a single tear over it....
