I agree with you on that, and I haven't seen any of that on this thread (on others, yes). It appears that the anger is directed at the decision maker(s) and priority setter(s), and with that I would have to agree. It is simply bad management to come up with a new program and not have any sort of identifiable plan in place to execute it, without gumming up the works. This goes for *anything*, politics, business, assembly line....any of it. They should have and worse, COULD have handled it much differently. Hired up and/or provided a devoted service center to process these applicants (like it seems they are/were trying to do for DAPA until the injunction....think they learned from a past, recent, major screw-up?). Could have/should have charged a filing fee to offset the cost associated with the extra workload so that they could hire more people to continue to work on the fiance/spousal visas. Could have/should have done a LOT of things differently.
Mad at the kids? Me, no. Envious? Perhaps (however, I personally would *never* choose to trade lives with someone raised with no legal status by parents who could be deported at any moment so....). Mad that they are being prioritized over me? Yes. But that's not their fault. I DO wish that they'd realize that they've got the fast track here and stop it with the public write-up sob stories, but they're mostly young and this is their first experience with the legal immigration process so they have NO idea how lucky they've gotten. I am still super upset at the people in charge giving priority to them over me. They get to stay, they get to see their families every day, they are no longer at risk of deportation so WHY do they *need* to be processed so quickly, to the detriment of others etc? Why haven't they been charged fees (beyond the EAD and the biometrics that we ALL pay) enough to offset the cost associated with processing them? I mostly just hate that this is a zero-sum game. That them getting something means that others are not. It's just not right when you're talking about real people's real lives and families and futures. And that goes for all of us, DACA kids or not.
