Clinton tried that. She wanted to bring training in alternative energy jobs to coal country so that coal miners wouldn’t become unemployed as coal went the way of the dodo, but she made the mistake of saying that doing so would put coal mining companies out of business. Well, I mean also she’s a woman, and Benghazi…

I’ll compromise by washing my feet in the summertime when they get dirty from wearing sandals, but that’s it. Otherwise, my feet are in shoes and socks 90% of the time, and I’m not a very sweaty person, so bending down to wash them every shower just ain’t happening. Yes, I’m lazy.

I don’t wash my legs or my feet and I pee in the shower. IDGAF!

I had an Uber driver a few months back who was from, I think Ethiopia? He told me but I can’t remember. Anyway, he managed to get here 7 years ago, and has been trying since to get his family over. He has a wife and 2 kids who finally got permission to come to America. It took SEVEN GODDAMN YEARS. He was hoping they…

I contacted my senator and asked him to stand up against Steve Bannon and let his constituents know that he does not approve of his position. My senator said something along the lines of “as you know, we don’t vote on this position since he’s not a cabinet member.” I fucking hate my senator and my goal is to bug him…

Hello! As a former Hill person, two things:

I’d love a steady stream of celebs and politicians who get themselves invited to Trump WH events and then don’t go, but post about it on social media, or do something else the same night like protest or fund raise for the resistance.

(no you don’t just become a citizen when you marry a citizen)

Heck, even just getting a regular, short-term visa is super difficult! My dad did a sabbatical as a university researcher for a semester in the US and the American embassy treated him like a potential criminal. And he’s a middle-aged, white German dude. Can’t even imagine how harrowing the process would be for people…

Not to mention, given the immigration history of this country, I am willing to bet the majority of these Trump supporters came from refugee ancestors. This whole, “Let’s move to America. I bet it will be kooky fun,” is a recent idea. Before then it was more, “We are in a war torn country. The ruling class is trying to…

Not to mention the people who do the applications take MONTHS. And forget trying to call them, you’ll be on hold for 2 hours. I finally wrote a long rant to my senator complaining about how stupid the process is for people who are trying to come in legally. The whole thing is a cluster.

Exactly. I think if most americans were aware of the stress it involves, they would be more sympathetic. But when all the media and politicians only want to show the “illegal” side of it, people start believing that it is easy to get into the country. But legal or illegal, people go through hell to get here.

My husband is an immigrant from Canada and the process to get him here took over a year and cost thousands of dollars. On top of proving that our marriage was real, I had to prove that I could afford to have him here and that he wouldn’t go on public assistance. We’re now getting ready to remove his conditional status…

Exactly. People who rant about illegals have no clue the number of steps the process takes and how costly it is even when you have an “in” (like marriage/a job that will sponsor you/etc.). My siblings, mother, and I all have had dual citizenship since birth, but my father had to get naturalized by marriage when we…

My now husband and I spent nearly a year in his country working towards obtaining a fiancée visa so he can marry me in the US. The process in very difficult and very very costly. For starters, the US embassy charges people (non US) a fee to have an appointment to meet with them. You need an appointment to enter the…

I worked at a law firm (office stuff, not a lawyer) that specialized in immigration. Soooo many applications are rejected for things like this. And if you can’t afford a lawyer, good luck filling the apps out correctly. I had a BS and they were incredibly confusing.

I know demonizing immigrants sounds like a great thing to many trump supporters, but guys, immigrating to the US (even legally) is difficult, messy, expensive and so so taxing, physically and emotionally. And to be a refugee on top of that, to not really even have a comfortable place to wait out the immigration…

Unlike many of those getting angry with this there is no way this girl did this without reading most of the bible from cover to cover.

Personal beliefs aside, that is an impressively thoughtful and work-intensive gift.
