A One-in-a-Million Immigration Story
Silvia (depicted in the video above) represents hundreds of thousands of Mexican immigrants who are currently waiting in line to become legal citizens. No, the US government does not care if you have family here or have been here the majority of your adult life. No, the US government does not care that you have already been waiting a number of years. Yes, it is a very long line until you reach the naturalization counter for processing. And yes, the US government does care about you more if you have boatloads of money to skip ahead in line. So hand it over if you got it, otherwise it's the waiting game for you... And on a personal note, I do know people who are going through this exact situation, and yes, it's heartbreaking and frustrating all at the same time.
