I'm sad by the comments that were made on the article (the actual website page). Maybe you should write a piece on how to attain citizenship, because I don't think people understand how the system works, ie visa bulletin, wait times, eligibility etc.

THANK YOU mpoli for writing this piece. It's beautiful. I wish more pieces were written like this. It puts a human face to the the problem. I cried, mostly because I see my story written in some of the stories. I don't have kids or a husband but my bf and I are in a long distance relationship. He's actually going to grad school in Arizona and I can't be with him because well I'm safer where I am now. It breaks our heart but I don't think there is anything (other than the dream act) to fix my status.

Anyway keep writing stories like this PLEASE!!! PLEASE don't stop. I'm sure it will help somehow.

Thank you!!
