The wind howls like a hungry beast, tearing our tent apart. Rain pounds relentlessly, seeping through every crack, freezing us to the bone. Water rises around us, swallowing our feet, our knees… our hope.

I worked hard, with love, 52hr+ weekly, most lunches working, for 3 years. I was 20-30% underpaid vs market (“the culture” makes up for this?), got burnout with panic attacks, and when faced with exiting was told I’d be replaced in a few weeks and would not leave an impact. You come first, not them.
happy sunday, remember that you are completely expendable to your employer and that when you die they will forget you ever existed within weeks and easily replace you

these old cases involve many who sought visas based on a special status: for juveniles abandoned or abused or for crime victims. others had their cases paused because a judge decided they weren’t an enforcement priority, often because the immigrant had no criminal record.

The BBC headline with "migrants" is already terrible and plays into the far-right narrative. And the solution to asylum-seekers being exploited by criminals is to allow them to contribute by working legally rather than making them survive on a pittance.
