Today, I met a friend who has a 15 year wait for a green card. His manager ‘forgot’ to tell him the results of his immigration process, which he has no control or visibility over. When he found out what happened, he had only 3 days, instead of 3 months, to respond to paperwork that will change his life.
Every single one of us goes through inhumane processes with bigots and bureaucracy. Every one of us suffers with how even ‘nice’ people don’t understand how they can impact us like this.
