I've seen that video before, and it's uncomfortably true - because I'm 
an alien.
I always wondered why they had these BS processes to apply for the geen 
card. Even though I'm with a company on an H1-B, if they have to apply 
for a green card for me, they have to put out ads in a local newspaper 
for my job. When I'm working there! It makes no sense.
All that the green card offers, to me, is freedom. But to get that, one 
has to go through so much.
