I have yet another round of applications in and I'm starting to worry. We have immigration things next month and I haven't been able to land a job. I feel like I got my wife out and I'm going to stall out at the finish line. If you can help or share, thank you.

A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump.
A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges.
