PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM CORNELL UNIVERSITY:

If you're using corporate-speak, stop it. Anyone with critical thinking skills IS NOT impressed by your d***y jargon. Please: STOP "drilling down," quit "circling back," DO NOT "touch base" (my base, or your base, or anyone's base), AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, quit all the "hard stopping" (there is NO ROOM for "hardness," in any context, at work)!

Thank you.

"Nurse! Nurse! I need an I.V. Drip of VA**UM at my law desk before the close of business, STAT!

Another Update: Green Card Hellscape from Friday

This is a preliminary list of case elements, in a "Totality-of-the-Circumstances Analysis," that USCIS may use in evaluating whether to Approve the "Adjustment of Status" (green card approval) inside the United States.

REMINDER: " Green Card Policy Announcement"
===================================
NOBODY knows what any of this loosely worded, Trump-sloppy "policy announcement" (about leaving the USA to get a green card) means! NOBODY KNOWS.

Nobody! Ignore any lawyer, or any other source, trying to tell you NOW what the poorly worded and extremely vague "policy announcement" will mean TOMORROW. Anyone who claims, right now, to know what the ridiculous announcement means is blowing smoke. Full of Baloney.

It is all talk . . . Tune Out Trump right now. We all just need to wait, pop va**um, until someone in Washington tells us what Trump really meant . . .Right now, NOBODY KNOWS.

DON'T FREAK OUT: This half baked scheme was just announced this morning, and NO ONE, including the interviewing officers at USCIS, the American Immigration Lawyers Association, or anyone else, knows the details. The announcement raised more questions than it answered. Terms are undefined. Guidelines are unclear. There will be lawsuits.

More chaos. More nonsense. Same Mentally Stable Genius.

The change is likely to affect hundreds of thousands of people. It could also lead to more family separations as spouses or relatives wait for application decisions, immigration lawyers said.

Why are Leaders always getting it wrong on immigration?

Why was Biden tone-deaf about the porous Mexican border?

Why is Trump acting like a fascist brown shirt thug?

BECAUSE THESE "LEADERS" ARE ALL AFRAID TO LEAD. Instead, THEY ARE LED by FOCUS GROUPS and OPINION POLLS and "overcorrect" to pander to the mindless general public.

They are all weasels being advised by spineless hacks who wouldn't know an original thought if one bit them on their collective bums.

The government overreacts to popular opinion, which prompts a pendulum swing the other way
