Just to update you Re: My wife and Sen. Kelly's involvement

43. Nobody is doing that. But what you are seeing is a bit of push-back.

What difference does it make, if he criticized Sen. Kelly?

I don't have time to explain it to you, but if you think about it, I'm sure the answer will come to you.

Look, bureaucracy is maddening,

That's a weak excuse for taking it out on people who reach out to help.

It's also wrong to shit all over a man who's got to leave his own country just to be with his wife.

What difference does it make if people criticize bad behavior. In the end, I believe that those who do so have probably done the someone a great favor. It just make change how one approaches civil servants. I think it's highly likely that gov't workers are much more likely to want to make an extra effort and go above and beyond to help someone who's appreciative and likeable... someone who understands that THEIR bureaucratic job isn't easy and that immigration isn't as "simple" as getting a driver's license at the local DMV office. If someone wants help from the person behind the counter, they typically have much better results if they don't start off with an attitude. That approach will likely make the civil servant (or immigration official) put forth only a perfunctory effort, the bare minimum, only what's legally required.
