re: #295 Targetpractice

I like to think of it being like the Boomers and Gen Xers who look at our generation and think we’re a bunch of “lazy pricks” because we don’t “find a job.” The ones who still think the method of getting a job is going down to the local hardware store and asking to speak to the manager. Or calling the same shop constantly and inquiring if they’ve had time to look at your application, in an era where unless they’re a small-time mom-and-pop operation they have to wait for the digital application to land on their desk from corporate HR.

Oh yeah, it’s a lot like that. They think you just pay a fee and you emigrate legally. Working in immigration law really woke me up to the reality of what today’s immigrants go through. It’s stressful. It needs to be easier to emigrate legally.
