@futurebird as a former immigrant in the US, the belief that there is a path to citizenship for anyone who "comes in the right way" or just "does their paperwork" was immensely frustrating to me.

Everytime I saw a Democrat response to bad faith Republican talking points, I just wanted to go be like "why can't you just spell out that there IS NO PATH to citizenship or even legal permanent residence, to a lot of folks who came in the "right way", who "did their paperwork", — yes, even to folks privileged enough that they are fluent in English (and quite a few even have higher ed degrees), and fully understand the process, and all of the legal options available to them".

Also, claiming asylum after crossing the border IS a valid legal pathway, and it was also frustrating to watch everyone accept that it's not just because Trump said so, and Biden not only not reverting that, but doubling down on even more roadblocks to a valid legal path.

@futurebird @funkula @sidd_harth0_5h4h I'd be up, though Affogato tells me that she has a packed schedule and it might be a while before she can find the time to be on a podcat. It's tough being a popular artist cat who has many projects going.

@futurebird @sidd_harth0_5h4h she's always well compensated in treats! Although last night she filed a complaint when the crocheting did not pause, and her treat and puzzle time was 10 mins late.

@sidd_harth0_5h4h of course she helped! She always loves to help when I'm crocheting! (by testing if it works as a pillow, and occasionally by drooling on it)
