You’ve lived here for years. You work here. Your kids go to school here. You’ve been doing everything right, following the legal path to permanent residency. Now they’re telling you to leave and apply from abroad.
And if you leave? You might not get back in.
The Trump administration announced that large numbers of green card applicants can no longer complete the process from inside the United States. Pack up your life, go back to where you came from, and wait. How long? Nobody knows. What are the chances you get denied reentry on some technicality while you’re waiting? Nobody’s saying.
This isn’t immigration enforcement. This is cruelty dressed up as procedure. These are people who have been living here lawfully, building lives, paying taxes, following the rules — and the rules just got changed on them deliberately to make their lives harder.
The message is clear: you are not welcome here no matter how long you’ve been here or how many rules you’ve followed. We can always find a new way to make you leave.
That’s not America. That’s not supposed to be America.
