Our politics care so much about illegal immigrants but I don’t know why legal immigration never gets ANY attention from either party. After going through the time and the all hoops as a legal immigrant I finally applied for my citizenship and it’s been another 9 months of waiting for it to process.

Conservatives have turned immigration into a culture war. They did it to shift the Overton window and crowd out sane discussion.

Liberals can't discuss the nuances of refugee policy and the need for more immigration court judges when they're being branded as a job killing, violent crime supporting, drug addicts. So, the conversation devolves into overly broad accusations from both sides about open borders and racism.

Because it’s more socially acceptable/less obviously racist to focus on illegal. It’s a fig leaf.

Once indicator of this is the vast majority of illegal immigrants are visa overstays, many arriving by air. But they prefer to focus on scary poor brown people on foot.

Hi everyone! What are some companies to apply to for an American looking to move to the UK on visa?

I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?
