Hey, everyone. I work(ed) for USCIS, until this week, when most of us were laid off. Despite the nation reopening.
My post is to express frustration with our government, and also to relay my suspicion that trump is being set up for failure.
As of this moment, the acting DHS director is trying to ask for a 1.2 billion dollar loan from congress, to extend critical agency directives and functions. Unfortunately congress is on vacation.
Most of uscis is getting laid off within the next several weeks, since the money has literally run out(uscis is a non tax paid agency. We get our money from prospective citizenship requests). This includes CBP and ICE.
I fear that the president is busy with other critical matters, like covid and voter fraud, and simply hasn't been apprised of the potential disaster that the covid shut down has created with DHS.
My other fear is that USCIS is shutting down on trumps orders.... which would be absolute folly, in my opinion. Not to mention it costed me my job. I dont think I could vote for President Trump, if that's the case.
I guess I'm just venting, really. Pretty confused about the logistics, of it all. You'd think we'd be fine, with our offices opening and the economy on the uptick, but I guess not.
Try not to downvote me Into oblivion, please? Haha.
Sorry for the job loss, man. Time to file for unemployment, then start sending out applications for jobs not funded by open borders policies.
But for the Rona, you’d have had an easy time finding another job. Hope things improve in the coming months and you can get back on your feet.
