The U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services “upholds America’s promise as a nation of welcome & possibility with fairness, integrity, & respect for all we serve,” the new mission statement says.
Before, the agency was described as “administer[ing] the nation’s lawful immigration system, safeguarding its integrity and promise by efficiently & fairly adjudicating requests for immigration benefits while protecting Americans, securing the homeland, and honoring our values.”

Germany’s foreign minister has hired a new climate (!) envoy: the American (!!) head of Greenpeace (!!!) who has lived in Germany since 2003 - and isn’t even a German citizen.
I have lived and paid taxes in San Francisco for about the same time - and I can't even vote in local elections that immediately affect my life. Maybe I should have gone into politics?
The latest from Germany: an activist group called "Last Generation" claims that Germany will run out of food in 20-30 (!) years and want to force politicians to pass laws that prevent this. And climate change.
This video is in German, but jump to 10:47 to see the madness. Blocking/gluing themselves to freeway exits, ambulances and doctors be damned.
My compassion is somewhat low, this is the ideology that Germans voted for last year.
