@arsham_nazeri_ Good. Bye.

The intent of this policy isn't "go home and reapply." The intent is to force legal immigrants out of the country. Consular officers abroad can reject a visa quietly, with minimal explanation and almost no avenue for appeal. Adjustment of Status inside the US is a different story. It comes with legal rights, access to the courts, and due process. Pushing the process overseas isn't administrative efficiency. It's a deliberate move to a jurisdiction where denial is easier, faster, and nearly impossible to fight. And who will this policy actually push out first? Not the people they imagine. It will be H1B engineers/researchers, OPT graduates, and O1 holders. People who fuel American innovation, fill critical skill gaps, and pay some of the highest taxes in the country. They have world-class resumes and know they can build a great future anywhere. So they won't go home and wait years in a consular backlog. They'll go to Canada, Germany, the UK, or Australia, countries that have deliberately built their immigration systems to attract exactly this talent, with faster and simpler paths to residency. And who stays? Those with no global safety net. People for whom leaving means losing their job, their home, their kids' school, and years of their life with no guarantee of return. For them, the only realistic path becomes staying undocumented, not out of defiance, but out of desperation. So this policy doesn't filter out the "wrong" immigrants. It filters out the most competitive ones and hands them to rival economies, while pushing the most vulnerable into the very illegality its supporters claim to hate. #USCIS #GreenCard #ImmigrationPolicy #H1B #OPT #O1Visa #EB1 #EB2

@Ilhan I cannot wait until we send you there

The Bukele regime is trampling international law and basic human rights with impunity. The United States must stop enabling Bukele’s regime immediately. All political prisoners must be freed and an independent investigation into these abuses must take place. Free Ruth Lopez.

@RiseOfAlberta Hell yes. Free Alberta and my Albertan friends

Americans, Alberta may get its independence referendum question offically announced tomorrow. Would you support the U.S. recognizing an independent Alberta?

@ShawnRyan762 Shut up glowie

Massie: $5.5M raised. Average donor gave $100. His opposition: $32 million. Three billionaires, Secretary Hegseth on the ground, four presidential attacks in one day, all to silence the guy fighting for the Epstein files. Trump calls elections rigged. Look in the mirror. Go Massie.

$32 million dollars and an entire administration mobilized to destroy one congressman. His crime? Demanding answers about Epstein class abuse networks, and refusing to let child predators hide behind political cover. If that level of firepower doesn't tell you who's being protected, nothing will. Go Massie!

@AshtonForbes Killing me bro

Thomas Massie loses. MAGA wins. Woke people, please report to the moon base for your assignments.

@ThomasWayneRil1 Sick

Ruins in Agua Fria

@SenMarkKelly This is not their home.

Annie Ramos has been in this country since she was an infant. She's an ASU student, a Dream scholar, and a military spouse. She was put in ICE detention only days after her wedding. There are thousands of people just like Annie being detained right now. This is their home. Our immigration system is broken and there is no reason we cannot fix it if we start working together on this.

@Jbn3ex Sick

@RepCasar He is free to go home at any point

Luis Fernando Cabrera wakes up early to take his nephew to daycare. He stays late working 40 hours a week at Popeyes to help his family make rent. He's a high school senior who should be about to graduate. Instead, he's sitting in ICE detention because of a traffic stop.

@PramilaJayapal 1000% the illegal alien parents fault. Zero sympathy.

There are children in this country who don't know where their parents are tonight. Not because their parents did anything wrong. Because ICE took them. I've seen the photos. I've talked to the families. This is state-sanctioned terror. Full stop.

@TFL1728 Have you retired from podcasting?! 😂

Hantavirus. How about Fanta-virus. How about no, Tedros. The beard and the mac don't make you look more urbane, btw. They just make you look like the commie you are. Try a different costume dept. next time.

@MissBiitheCat @soigomaa 😂

@chris_oblenness @soigomaa When men like you are the ones hounding us for reproduction, that’s an easy pass.

A man's desire to become a father is always paid for by a woman with her body, her health, her career, and her freedom. But when a woman expects a comfortable life, she is somehow shamed for wanting too much

@MissBiitheCat @soigomaa Please for the love of God, don't reproduce

@soigomaa The men in this comment thread are not only beyond incompetent, or inexperienced… but yall can’t even listen when we tell you why we don’t want to jump into shit. Pregnancy and children take EVERYTHING from women, INCLUDING our mind and body!! It’s not a simple thing!!!!

@AshtonForbes 10 year ago me couldn't imagine how much current me despises that lying piece of shit

For the love of God someone ask Obama about MH370. I’m tired of this dude’s smug face. There’s no aliens? Is that right? Cool, so what’s up with our high beta plasma orbs that can wormhole airplanes?

@Ilhan Who is the father of those children?

Hennepin County Medical Center is a lifeline—I know, three of my kids were born there. Republicans’ Medicaid cuts are pushing hospitals like HCMC to the brink. This is about whether people get care in a crisis. Minnesota cannot lose its safety net hospital.

@MarinasHammer Deport him? How about hang him by the neck until dead?

Breaking: despite being in ICE custody last year with a deportation order, Jordan’s killer was let out AGAIN to commit more crimes in Utah, and was just re-arrested in West Jordan YET AGAIN for drug crimes and has a federal detainer in Salt Lake County Jail. When is enough enough?! DEPORT JORDAN’S KILLER BACK TO MEXICO. Justice for Jordan.

@ThomasWayneRil1 Amazing

Baby’s First Rodeo. The Big Oh One.

@1PeterMitchell @CyberPunkCortes WHAT

@CyberPunkCortes Wait till you find out that every H1-B doesn’t pay anything into social security, neither do their employers, and yet after year 7 when given their citizenship they automatically become eligible.

How on Earth were 300,000 illegal aliens collecting Social Security? All my life people have been saying my generation won’t be able to collect Social Security, it’d be bankrupt by then, etc. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of illegals have been sucking billions from it.

@DejaRu22 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

You need to be talking to strangers. By not doing so, you are greatly diminishing your capacity for luck, serendipity, and synchronicity to occur in your life. As you raise your frequency and increase your level of consciousness… you will find that more and more, you will “just happen” to “randomly” bump into the exact kind of people you needed to meet. Complete strangers will reveal themselves in miraculous ways. But the catch is that you have to talk to them. Life has a hilarious way of making this work time and time again. Real ones can attest to this being fact. EVERY SINGLE PERSON that you hold dear to your heart, were at one point complete strangers that you decided to take a chance on, and get to know… And the odds of your paths crossing… were next to impossible. If you consider the weight of the entire life trajectories of both parties. It’s a miracle that your realities happened to align in the same point in space and time. However, because it actually DID happen, and that you ACTUALLY happened to meet them… IT WAS FATED FROM THE BEGINNING; the probability was always going to be 100%. Ya dig? The paradox of choice, free will, and determinism. Be glad you met the people you adore and love, because it was both an impossible event, yet one forever destined (and pre-arranged ;-) )to take place.

@RepJayapal You will never, ever be an American. Ever.

It took me 17 years and an alphabet soup of visas to become a U.S. citizen. And in Congress, I’ll continue working to protect and expand legal pathways to citizenship, including for TPS holders.
