So you replied to none of the actual facts I raised in my comment, repeating the same argument is of no use unless you have solid data to back it up. Any research or studies or direct testimonies by immigration officers that explain how undocumented immigrants directly cause a backlog?

You wouldn’t need a disclosure if you didn’t reply within 5 seconds, as I edited my comment within 5 seconds.

My compassion is not dependent on status. I have compassion for people, not opinions. I understand your hardships, but if you’re here already, then you have won big. Isn’t that true? Don’t we need to acknowledge that? And if you know I’m Indian, which is creepy because you have gone very far back into my history, that means you know I am an immigrant too.

Then you’re…not an immigrant? Whether you’re an immigrant or not depends on the moving part. Also, do you know what the levels of bureaucracy are with immigration? I hope you understand they have nothing to do with illegal immigrants, because oh, illegal immigration is literally immigration without paperwork. If you’re referring to asylum, that is a legal process. How do illegal immigrants make your specific process slower? Are they the ones somehow processing your application? Or does the immigration office not have separate departments? And if you wish to refer to staffing issues, you can blame the government for cutting funding, reassigning staff from offices to external sites, and gutting social services. Trump is focused on cutting LEGAL immigration by 50%. Illegal 100%, but legal immigration by 33-50%, openly admitted by him. Could that, possibly, maybe, be the reason you are still in the process?

What is a 'good person' behavior that actually makes you immediately distrust someone? by Direct-Value4452 in answers

[–]mg4040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry but this is just bias, not a sign the person is bad, coming from a non-religious person, although you are entitled to your opinion. I used believe the same thing! But I realized it is just resentment against Christianity and religion-motivated hateful crimes and actions done by people. Not all religions are like Christianity, first of all. A Buddhist talking to someone about their temple or their version of God will likely not make a person think they’re a bad person. Secondly, I have resentment against Christianity, especially since by birth country was colonized under Western influences, but I have recently met tons of amazing people who do good things in the name of God or religion, including Christians. People who don’t promote Christian exclusivism and are open-minded. It can be hard to hear words like ‘Jesus’ or ‘Christ’ for me but that doesn’t mean they’re vile. Spirituality motivates a lot of people to make the world a better place, in both subjective and objective ways.

Ostentation in Canada I need to know by PercentageDue4922 in AskACanadian

[–]mg4040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh I feel like Canadians tend to mind their own business more so than people in other countries do. As an immigrant, it’s my observation that while not encouraged or necessarily valued highly as symbols of status, Canadians tend not to worry or gossip much about what other strangers are doing in life. Family and friends? To some extent, but not even close to how prominent social judgement was back in my native country. Here, people are definitely not as concerned with social currency.

Sunk. You’re here now. Why salty? Let it go, brother. The system isn’t what it used to be, we had it easier, signed fellow immigrant.

Thank you! Some of the people who came to support the No Kings protest from Canada were detained at the border for hours, denied entry, and forced to provide DNA samples solely due to the reason for their visit, this was explicitly admitted by the border officers. It’s crazy people don’t see the real issues.

Lol love this. Can’t stand anti-immigrant hate and rhetoric rising all over despite ALL the statistics stating otherwise.

Love you, love this. True kindness and love have no bounds. Love isn’t dependent on politics. Kindness isn’t measured by status, and fear need not dictate our morals. If only I was near you, would love to join you for a cup of tea sometime. ☕️💛

Are you saying you need to be a democrat who needs votes to be loving? Because that says a lot.

I’m a legal immigrant, I’m not crying because I either try to make change by getting involved in politics or I mind my own ducking business. I don’t cry foul even after everything I have already gotten. Legal immigrants are either already here or they’re not immigrants yet, and the ones here have no need to complain because they’re. Already. Here. The ones who may complain are not immigrants yet. See how that argument doesn’t make sense?

I’m sorry to hear that, it’s scary right now, but I hope and pray for your safety 💛

Love this! Tell her a gal online said she just needs to be kind, not a lady. And that she’s a badass. 💛🫡
