10 years? Why did it take so long? |
Mainly retrogression. During Obama's admin they clamped down on immigrant applications. Then we got hit by multiple issues due to their change of procedures and protocols. My father getting diagnosed with cancer on the 8th year of waiting for our petition. This made us adjust our immigrant application to separate my application as I my application was tied with my father. Basically a lot of complicated stuff.
My mother was in United States for 10 years all by herself. It was painful and depressing at times but I did not hate the immigration policy changes. I always understood that applying to be an immigrant is not my right but a privilege that will be granted upon me.
If you're surprised about 10 years, there are those who waited more than I. So when people say that tougher immigration is only an agenda of a xenophobic white man, think twice. I'm a native South East Asian legal immigrant who wants a fair process for everyone. People like Soundwave who parrot this dumb agenda spit on the hardships of law abiding people like me who faced a lot of hardships just to get in legally. Taking a risky journey on a small boat crossing the border illegally doesn't put them above us.
I do wish to bring up a trivial experience. I've even encountered some co-workers of mine who are Hispanic legal immigrants who came from South America. To my surprise they are also pissed at the democrats tone towards demonizing tougher immigration enforcement.
