58. I feel bad for anyone who thought the green card would be enough

Mar 2025

My mom had one of the non-expiring green cards, but she went ahead and got her citizenship about 28 years ago (18 or so years after arriving to the US). With the green card, certain rules are being enforced now, especially international travel restrictions. You can't come and go as you please like a full citizen.
