RE: Immigration Fail 🛃😔 A Devastating Setback For My Family

It's a good thing for you to do rant videos about this. You never know if someone sees it and happens to have a magical solution. It's beyond devastating especially the thought of you guys separating. I'm hoping a miracle will stop that from happening.

It's so unjust that not long ago, anyone could storm into Canada and claim refugee status. Same with other parts of the world. We saw certain refugees come in and destroy the apartments paid for by the government, theft, vandalism and even prostituting their children. We were superintendents of these buildings. Didn't seem that they appreciated refuge. But you all, are a nice family stuck in a foreign land that are not allowed to come home. It's beyond ridiculous and unjust. I still hope something turns around for you and that you can be together in a good place. Good by apocalypse standards. Peace to you all.

Thank you, I hope no one gets tired of my rants. We did once upon a time have a local newspaper story printed about us, as well as NPR interview. I will definitely be contacting both sources to do a follow-up story detailing the failure of USA, Surinamese, and Cambodian bureaucracy. I must admit though shaming and exposing has never been an effective technique against the American government.

It is funny how if you play by the rules, it's a nearly impossible path, but if you enter illegally, a path to citizenship is possible. And to think Americans wonder why so many people cross illegally into the USA each day. Most of those people have tried to come legally and failed multiple times. I think if Pov and I didn't have children, we would've already committed multiple victimless crimes to better our situation.

Now we are just imagining our lives back in Cambodia together, and it's a nice dream I must say. We aren't yet ready to think about the additional hardship we'll endure apart from one another before this is possible.
