Twenty-three years ago the US said it was going to Americanize Iraq. Instead we got something closer to the Saddam-ification of the US.

The state of legal immigration in the U.S.:
Absolute chaos.
-Employer-sponsored green card paths are tenuous. PERM is broken, with 15+ month adjudication times. NIW filings are surging, and I suspect EB-1A filings are too.
-Family-based cases are facing more scrutiny. The country bans and adjudicative holds are taking their toll, and who is affected remains extremely confusing.
-People with legitimate cases are paying filing fees while seeing little to no service rendered. Costs are rising for both practitioners and clients.
-Immigration judges are being fired and replaced with inexperienced, politically favorable appointees.
-The bright spots: litigation is working. O-1s are still moving. E-2s remain a viable path.
But overall: legal immigration is becoming more expensive, more unpredictable, and more chaotic.

ANOTHER federal court holds that the Trump admin's policy of indefinitely throwing hundreds of thousands of immigration benefits applications into a filing cabinet is unlawful, granting relief to dozens of plaintiffs who sued.
People are losing jobs because of this policy.

🚨 BREAKING: In Doe v. Trump, a federal judge in Massachusetts just dealt a major blow to USCIS’s indefinite pause policy, which applies travel-ban logic to legal immigrants already admitted and living inside the U.S. The judge joins at least seven other federal judges who have found the policy likely unlawful, arbitrary, and capricious. She went further by ruling that using country of birth as a negative factor in immigration decisions is also likely unlawful. The court rejected USCIS’s attempt to freeze immigration benefits for people who followed the law, including many who have lived here legally for years, some for over a decade. Since December 2, this policy has wreaked havoc on the lives of thousands of physicians, scientists, highly skilled immigrants, and spouses of U.S. citizens from 39 countries, stripping them of any legal means of employment and extension of lawful status through indefinite administrative delay. In her ruling, the judge wrote: The policy “extends far beyond” entry restrictions and targets people already living legally in America. USCIS failed to consider the human cost of “throwing thousands… into indefinite limbo.” “Indefinite limbo… affecting all manner of life plans.” “Extrapolating the conduct of two individuals… to thousands… does not rank as reasoned decision-making.” The policy “runs afoul of… prohibition on nationality-based discrimination.” Clear message from the courts: legal immigrants who are already admitted and living inside the U.S., and who followed every rule, cannot be collectively punished solely because of where they were born. They deserve due process and equal protection under the law. #LiftTheHold #LiftThePause #UscisPause #PM6020192 #PM6020194 #Immigration

Early in my career as an immigration lawyer I casually mentioned to a client of mine, an engineer from India, in H-1B visa status that it seemed like Indians had a natural ability to excel in math and science.
I will never forget his reply, “Bob, we have plenty of dumb people - perhaps more dumb people than the entire population of the United States. But you will never deal with them.”

Maybe it was a politically incorrect way to say it but if the US is able to “recruit” the top 10% of every country and those people come and bring their work ethic and ability (and gene pool) — it is just really weird why we would fight that because basically no other country in the world can do that.
The top 10% of hard workers and brainpower from India and China constitutes a lot of people.

Indians aren’t hated in America despite their success, they’re hated because of it.🇺🇸🇮🇳 Conservatives see their own abandoned dreams realized by immigrants: stable families, crushing academic discipline, relentless entrepreneurship. Leftists see their sacred ideology shattered by the same people: merit over mediocrity, culture over victimhood, results over narratives. Both sides sense the indictment. Excellence has no greater enemy than those it exposes.😎 Stop hating Indians. Instead, learn what they are doing right to achieve what can be achieved by any American if they stay on the right path. Resentment is a dead end. Excellence is a choice. Choose better.👍

what would the poem on the statue of liberty say if it were written today?
not “give me your tired, your poor” but maybe “give me your millionaires and your social media history”

NEW on CNN: Mallory McMorrow quietly deleted thousands of old tweets after launching her Senate campaign. Posts in which she took jabs at the rural Midwest, lamented ever leaving California, and said she continued to vote there after she said she’d moved permanently to Michigan.

Why is the Trump State Department so eager to justify the administration’s Iran war as a war for Israel? (With U.S. interests appended by an “as well as.”)

Do "womens rights" include the right to not be bombed, have your family killed by unaccountable foreign militaries, or be subject to economic misery through sanctions? The practical discourse around human rights has become completely perverse and absurd at this point.

EU’s Ursula von der Leyen Rules Out Iran Sanctions Relief Without “Fundamental Change” Ursula von der Leyen said it is “too early” to lift sanctions on Iran, stressing they remain tied to human rights concerns particularly the treatment of women and will only be reconsidered if Tehran demonstrates a clear and verifiable shift in its internal policies. #WashingtonEye

I may stand corrected, but after looking around it doesn’t seem like any other country in the world has its current leader’s picture in citizens’ passports, not even North Korea.
