  1. https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-eligibility/green-card-for-a-cuban-native-or-citizen The Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966 (CAA) allows Cuban natives or citizens living in the United States who meet certain eligibility requirements to apply to become lawful permanent residents (get a Green Card). Not something I am familiar with but I am sure there are a lot of NGO's who can help
  2. After the Panic of 1893 Denver was paying to ship out people so there is a precedent.
  3. True but Biden is not offering Humanitarian Parole for the residents of those cities.
  4. https://www.9news.com/article/news/local/colorado-leaders-nonprofits-migrants-destinations/73-ca6b2dcb-561e-4e63-a0cc-6c8565f9575b Local coverage, confused because I remember a different shall we say tone. Times change I guess. Must have packed them in.
  5. Trolling Congress? Think that is OK. Wonder if George will be sworn in today.
  6. Visitor Visa agree does not seem likely but she is free to apply, any reason she has not done so?
  7. Presumably there is some medical issue. So roughly 2 year for them to get Green Cards, they move and petition him assuming he does not marry another 8 years before he can come. A Green Card is for living in the US, they can of course visit him. Does not really sound practical to sponsor them.
  8. It is just a money grab, they need the income for the millions of cases they have to handle that are charged little or nothing
  9. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/01/03/colorado-migrants-new-york-00076115 NEW YORK — Colorado Gov. Jared Polis plans to send migrants to major cities including New York, Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday, warning that the nation’s largest city is already struggling to deal an influx of people sent from Texas and other Republican-led states. However, the Democratic governor told POLITICO shortly afterward that the state has been helping asylum seekers reach their final destinations — including New York City — for weeks. The only change has been a recent winter storm and ensuing travel catastrophe that created a backlog of migrants wanting to leave Denver, which is now being cleared. Adams made his comments during a radio appearance Tuesday morning. “We were notified yesterday that the governor of Colorado is now stating that they are going to be sending migrants to places like New York and Chicago,” Adams said during a radio appearance.
  10. https://madison365.com/indigenous-arts-leader-activist-revealed-as-white/ Early in 2020, an Indigenous artist urged the owners of a new music venue in town to change its name. It was called The Winnebago, after the street on which it stands. Many Indigenous people and allies let the owners know that wasn’t the best name for a white-owned music venue. One of them was nibiiwakamigkwe, also known as Kay LeClaire, a founding member and co-owner of the ####### Indigenous artists’ collective giige, and budding leader of Madison’s Indigenous arts community. It took several months, but the venue eventually relented and rebranded as The Burr Oak. “I’m glad the owners have decided to no longer profit from the identities of Indigenous peoples,” LeClaire wrote in an editorial for Our Lives Wisconsin. “I’m glad the name is going, but I’m not happy the institutions that allowed it to be stolen in the first place remain. For over 500 years, Indigenous Peoples have not controlled our narratives and representations. Our exclusion has been built into inclusion for others.” One problem with that narrative: LeClaire wasn’t Indigenous, and was, in fact, profiting from the identities of Indigenous peoples. Since at least 2017, Kay LeClaire has claimed Métis, Oneida, Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, Cuban and Jewish heritage. Additionally, they identify as “two-spirit,” a term many Indigenous people use to describe a non-binary gender identity. In addition to becoming a member and co-owner of giige, LeClaire earned several artists’ stipends, a paid residency at the University of Wisconsin, a place on the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Task Force and many speaking gigs and art exhibitions, not to mention a platform and trust of a community – all based on an ethnic identity that appears to have been fully fabricated.
  11. In a 2018 interview with the Guardian, Hussey said: “I loved playing Juliet. The only part I didn’t like was all the PR. It was exhausting.” She also claimed that Zeffirelli called her “Boobs O’Mina” on set before he later confessed that she was the unrequited love of his life. Romeo and Juliet was a box office hit at the time and received four Oscar nominations, winning two for best cinematography and best costume design. The lawsuit has arrived at the end of a temporary suspension of California’s statutes of limitations for childhood sexual abuse cases. The last week has seen a flood of other suits before the deadline on 31 December. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/jan/03/romeo-and-juliet-actors-sue-paramount-child-abuse-zeffirelli Impressive grift and another example of Politicians not caring or thinking about consequences.
  12. Most people would be more concerned about maintaining their residency and the sort of conversation they may have at the PoE after being gone so long.
  13. 6 months plus just resets the clock so yes you should be able to naturalise but you have to wait until you qualify.
  14. Actually I think the Biden Administration propose charging more, I saw that EAD and AP will be charged and not included. Ouch
  15. Better is a subjective term, you could say it would be simpler if she was living in the US, had a job that met the sponsorship requirements. Obviously the totality matters.
