Showing Original Post only (View all)You all know me and my wife's green card saga. In 2.5 hours my wife's flight from Shanghai lands at JFK [View all]
I am on pins and needles now.
I do not trust the immigration people at the border.
I do not trust ICE as she goes through the airport to get from international arrivals to domestic departures.
I do not trust the police to protect her from these kidnappers
I do not trust the government to honor her green card.
I was nervous to death the Chinese government wouldn't let her out due to their at-will enforcement of their social credit system.
I am terrified the American government will destroy my family and not let her back in, protecting the country from a green card holding kindergarten teacher and master's degree student.
All because she isn't white, christian, or come from a country Agent Orange doesn't denounce daily.

I don't blame you for being terrified over this. Let us know when she's safely out of the airport.

It might look bad, but things could always be worse. Imagine if she was a Doctor in Gaza. nt
