#Immigration diversity

[usadvlottery]

Obtaining a USA Green Card without the Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery involves alternative avenues for immigration. Non-DV pathways may include employment-based sponsorship, family reunification, refugee or asylum status, or specialized immigrant programs. These options offer individuals an opportunity to secure permanent residency in the United States based on specific eligibility criteria. By navigating these alternative routes, applicants can pursue their American dream through diverse immigration channels outside the traditional DV Lottery process. Each pathway has its own set of requirements and procedures, providing individuals with various routes to achieve permanent residency in the United States.

RiverClan Refugees

Gorseclaw and Lizardtail want to join ThunderClan because they watched Harelight, their only other family, get publicly executed in front of them

They are trying their hardest to be useful and polite while being refugees in ThunderClan, and get mistreated for the effort-- having their food preferences mocked, getting told they're taking up space, hearing a steady stream of slurs, etc

After one more mass shaming session where Squirrelstar asserts they won't be accepting new cats, Sunbeam and Fernstripe join in on condescending them, and we get this;

"It would have felt bad turning them away, but if they chose to go home (AFTER BEING BULLIED FOR SEVERAL CHAPTERS) then there was no need to feel guilty"

This does not come across as these two earnestly missing home and choosing to go back; it comes across like they're accepting the fact that they are unwanted and getting out of dodge before it gets worse.

Honestly, I'm at the point where I can't call this a lack of self awareness. The difference between ThunderClan's treatment of Gorse and Lizard vs RiverClan's treatment of Wasp is obvious to me. The narrative is straightforwardly pro-xenophobic as long as it isn't overtly violent.

Social bigotry is fine. Good, even, to separate the "desirable" immigrants from the "undesirable" ones. What defines those categories? A good one will assimilate fully and leave their culture behind; a bad one only wants safety and a better life for their family.

Terrifying, imo, considering how the irl overton window has shifted on migration at the time of writing this in 2025. Does the spectre of the times loom over these words as I speak them? I hope not.

We need to spam our representatives, local, state, and federal.

Get on your county and state’s websites and start calling and emailing. Even if it’s all red, some of these Republicans still have morals and boundaries. Spam them with your concerns about every single proposal and issue that has happened this week.

Make a list of who, what, and when you contacted them, and start today. They work for you.

Protesting at state capitol of California.

[deadlittledogs]

Le sigh. I want to move to Canada one day so bad. Even perhaps to just go live in the backwoods (though Vancouver is really amazing). I recently reconnected with my nice lesbian auntie and she said she would help me research ways I could potentially immigrate sooner than later (and she's very good at those sort of things)... waa... thank you, nice lesbian auntie. I'm counting on you.

I think my goal is to get up there in the next five to ten years •̀.̫•́✧ and my first step to accomplishing that is.... Moving to Washington! >:D

Please cheer me on or I'll send maggots to your brains! <3

writing new characters for supernatural but british and this story wants so bad to say something about the concept of migration and immigration and the consequences of leaving your home and building a new one. And I don't know what it wants to say about that or why

It makes me so happy to see Trump actually fulfilling his promises.

The people that seem to have problems with him and his policy all “coincidentally” are all sleazy, r*pists, PDF-files, democrats and pro lgbt.

To quote the worst actress Disney has ever hired: Weird, Weird, Weird.

To hear people try to defend the illegal aliens entering into foreign countries is pathetic.

It doesn’t matter what country you live in: don’t let these piece of shit criminals come into your communities, your homes, your countries and try and take them from you. Your Country and History are more important than tolerating criminals.

I will stand my ground against these low IQ, npc people and I hope every sane human fights back against this mass exploitation of human kindness.

The future of our species has been built on ideals that many politicians, super rich and lgbt want to tear down and destroy. Death to the woke mind virus and DEI is the most obvious cure to many of our societies problems and hardships.

Let’s get back to being a species and a society that is focusing on pushing our knowledge, philosophies and sciences forward, not indulging all these medical experiments on children and adults and calling it “gender affirming care”. Stop fucking empowering narcissistic people and their fucked up view of the Sexes.
