Openers

Dear Readers:

When I used to tell people I was an immigration lawyer, I used to get responses like “I had a friend who went through that process and it was a pain” or “that must be really interesting work” or “it must be nice getting to help people.” Today it’s typically some kind of variation on “you must be stressed out” and then a tirade on the state of our politics (people who are anti-immigration usually don’t tell me and just change the subject).
