Yeah, this is the frustrating part. 99% of people aren't going to give a shit to get visibility on it. And the rule only applies to legal immigrants. So non-immigrants (tourists) and probably illegal immigrants can go to and from the USA spreading as much covid as they want, while green card applicants are still forced to take poison.
I wouldn't care about this either, problem is it's preventing me and my family from even entering the country after 3 years, and 10k spent on the application. So i'm super salty about being singled out on this completely arbitrary requirement.
I don’t claim to know all the problems or how to even kindof fix them, but immigration needs some serious reform.
We can’t have people importing people en masse to achieve political goals.
We can’t have them being imported just to get cheaper labor.
We can’t have them coming in for societal reshaping because the current population is noncompliant.
We can’t have people coming in just because they’re friends, family, or business partners, the wider population needs to somehow be ok with it, too (I’m sure your wife is fine, I have a close friend with this same issue, but there still have to be agreed upon vetting and exclusion criteria)
We need to be able to identify and agree on people that we want to let in, and for what amount of time or purpose (replacing a huge percentage of IT workers with H1Bs, who then somehow buy property and become citizens - based off what? - shouldn’t be allowed)
How do we identify who can be American, especially at this point, where it isn’t clear even among natives?
(Are Jane Fonda and John Kerry “American”? How do we identify traitors who should become excluded from the ranks, and enforce it?)
It’s funny that this problem was helped to get to this point by Ted, given our opinion of John’s status.
I'm not sure how much reform there needs to be. From what I understand the laws on the books are pretty straight forward.
No illegal entry
Apply at a port of entry for asylum
Apply for asylum at the fist safe country
Immigrants to the United States must not be a burden on the system
The problem is the laws on the books are not being upheld in the slightest. All of the "migrants" entering at places like Eagle pass are not coming in a port of entry and are not eligible for asylum by definition.
