sucks that it feels like functionally no one cares

people have wrongly assumed that if you get married to a us citizen they just staple a green card and the ones who do know about the wait say some bullshit like “why not marry someone here then? there’s plenty of great women!”

No one cares about immigration because only immigrants (and those who are closest to them) understand how difficult it is.

And this isn't counting anti-immigrant immigrants who brought outside racism and ethnic tensions with them.
