Here to vent because - none of my colleagues or friends would ever possibly understand the difficulty of facing an election outcome like this -

I get that he won't be deporting DACA recipients - but let's NOT forget that during his term he stacked the Supreme court, can now also appoint more judges during his term, and that he also appointed many conservative FEDERAL judges in circuit and district courts where DACA is constantly being fought over in many states. To say that Trump will only affect migrants is an understatement to say the least.

Here I am - incredibly disappointed that Kamala, (while she was thoroughly qualified), never directly addressed the migrant/immigration issue to voters - and let's face it, Americans DO NOT want endless mass migrations of ppl coming to the US, getting free healthcare, working papers, etc - I live in NYC and even in this ultra-liberal zone, people are not happy with the multitudes of migrants showing up all over - sidewalks/subways/cafes, panhandling, filling classrooms in public schools, receiving cash benefits, free housing etc. Well, we know for sure that Trump will at least be putting a stop to what has become an uncontrolled border issue.

Absolutely does suck for the rest of us who are being roped in with all the rest of them.

Done with rant.
Same here, I am an attorney in the worst state to live in right now (TX), the only way to fix my status is through marriage which hasnt really happen bc ive been too busy trying to make it (plus im gay) and/or when my parents become LPRs in 2027 ill be able to get a waiver for my EB visa. My employer is more than willing to sponsor me i just dont have the qualifying relative to get the waiver i need.

I am also a woman, and seeing this country hate women so much that they would sell us out for "cheap gas"... its been quite devastating. Unfortunately i havent put much of a dent on my student loan but thankfully if DACA ends (or when it does) I wont lose my employment bc ill switch to 1099.

I dont think Trump will grant us anything. Anyone who has this idea in their head is delusional, he has no intention to help anyone but himself and his billionaire buddies.
