re: I Spent 14 Years Trying to Become an American Legally & Failed

Damn bruh you went throwback jaded 2015 version of myself on me.....you had to dig a little for that one! Kudos. Since that statement I have lived the side of the truth which you call a “bitch”, my friend, and I would not make that statement today....although America is pussified in comparison to the past....I still feel that way. BUT, I’m fighting with all I got to get back. That should speak for itself.

Agree with you on that, too. I just think that if the average American knew how immigration really worked—how quickly they’ll send back a form over a technicality which the lawyers then have to write a letter explaining that the form is, indeed, correct— then they’ll deny an application for a vague reason, leaving you to appeal it. It adds months upon months to what should be a straightforward process. I think they do it to make people give up or run out of money. When people say they are all for legal immigration, they mean it. But they don’t realize what an obstacle legal immigration really is. Hell, sometimes I wonder if it was worth doing this process legally. We lost a lot of money and time, and we are still battling it. That’s with me being a US citizen and with a US citizen child, too. Imagine someone just trying to get accepted on their own. It must be a myth that that actually happens.

Nope. It is a ridiculous immigration issue in which they have made repeated mistakes which has costed us months each time. It’s why I decided to comment, because the immigration system is definitely broken and unjust, even to those who are doing it legally, even in cases such as ours where we should be in Louisiana right now. You’re damn right reality is a bitch, and you can feel it when you’re on the wrong side of it, too. ETA: I don’t think you’re wrong at all about us lacking the infrastructure to take just anybody, but we cannot fault a single person for trying to better themselves instead of staying in a corrupt country. We just can’t say such a thing when we haven’t lived on that side.

I’m stuck in Guatemala with my wife and a little one in Covid times scared to death because the hospitals are collapsed and immigration won’t let her come to the States with me. We’ve been holed up since January. Thanks for asking.

This is the most obtuse statement I’ve ever read on here. That should make you feel special.

I appreciate this website very much for the information I receive from it. Hell, I knew about the coronavirus as soon as people started falling in the streets in China. I heard about the Paris massacre as it was happening. This site is the best news source I have. And at least a person can still say what they think.
re: Any Jazz music venues in BR?

OP, slightly off-topic, but one of the few joys I’ve had during this crazy lockdown has been finding the Facebook Group: Jazz Live Streams and Collaborations In Quarantine, then delving into each artist individually. Also, I found a nice acoustic jazz guitar album by Daniel Delirenzo just now on Spotify called How Thoughtful. Just wanted to recommend those 2 things, as it has been a nice surprise.
re: Happy 87th Birthday to Willie Nelson

Since this damned crisis I’ve become a huge Willie Nelson fan. It happened by listening to his 70s output late nights. The man is incredibly gifted as a songwriter and musician. His musicianship is way underrated. He based his guitar approach off of Django Reinhardt. Check out his session with Johnny Cash called VH-1 Storytellers and tell me Willie doesn’t have incredible taste in his guitar playing. His stance on marijuana overshadows what an incredible artist he is. The man’s a treasure. Happy Birthday Willie Nelson

I like some classic freestyle. Johnny O, Noel, and some of the rarer stuff I’ve found on youtube and Spotify. I’m interested.

Willie Nelson to host Farm Aid via internet Saturday 4/11
Posted by JeanPierre on 4/10/20 at 11:18 am
Willie Nelson, Neil Young, and many more set to perform quarantine-style tomorrow, Saturday the 11th. I figured Farm Aid is a big enough deal to warrant it’s own thread apart from the Quarantine Shows thread. Here’s a link to global news reporting it: LINK

I’m a big fan of Mat Davidson who goes by the name Twain. Incredible songwriter. Alynda Lee Segarra is loaded with talent as well.
