Pinboard added,
I guess we're supposed to celebrate having a daughter of immigrants travel abroad to tell potential migrants to go fuck themselves in their own country, instead of a grandson of immigrants saying it from the White House.
That there's a functional legal process to immigrate to the US is a lie Americans tell themselves, but for Harris to go to Guatemala and lie like that is an insult. Guatemalans aren't even eligible for immigrant visas in 2022 because more than 50,000 came over the last 5 years.pic.twitter.com/6nuHmGcRBF
The only effective way to immigrate to the US is to show up and then hope you eventually find a way to upgrade to legal status (ask me how I know!). There is no meaningful legal pathway. Everyone understands this basic truth, but our politicians are too craven to discuss it.
This is definitely a stretch. Student visas, skilled worker visas, extraordinary ability visas. Yes- all favor the privileged (like myself) who either had money or received great education abroad. Yes, I once lost H1B lottery and used another path. But your point is a hyperbole.
Especially conflating the diversity (!) visa and permanent residency as the only path of immigration is IMO manipulative. I'm sure you know the goals of DVs.
Yeah, you're right that one pathway for Guatemalans to get a green card is to win the Nobel Prize
Hundreds of thousands of legal immigrants a year (over a million with adjustments of status)- I had no idea there are that many Nobel Prize categories! Being serious - it's a huge stretch to say there are NO meaningful legal options. Might be super hard for unskilled workers.
That's kind of what I mean. The kind of person who has to cross Mexico on foot to hope to get into the US doesn't have a legal option (like a software job or PhD program) to fall back on. That's why what Harris said made me mad
FWIW it made me very disappointed as well. But when we focus it on this kind of immigration (other ones are challenging-took me 4 years despite privilege-but possible),it's a different conversation and also harder to have- I think most Americans don't want low skill immigrants.
Most Americans are heavily reliant on low-skill illegal immigrant labor
