The “small issue” you described is a logistical one that remains unsolved by bureaucrats, lawmakers, judges, or anyone else. “Bad actors ruin it for those who really need it” is the same “small issue” people use to argue against many services people genuinely need in order to survive.
“Deport them all and let God sort 'em out” is the course America has chosen, and it is the immoral course, as far as I am concerned.
we need more people processing immigration paperwork
Agreed, but it won’t happen, especially under this administration. They don’t want more immigrants, even “legal” ones. They say they are only against “illegal” immigrants, but let’s be real here. Lemme know when they sign into law some additional funding for hiring more bureaucrats to parse immigration paperwork. I won’t hold my breath.
When immigrants know the legal pathway is unreasonably slow and will not be improved in any way, there’s no incentive to do it the “legal” way.
I managed to inadvertently cure myself of this problem by recording a lot of music in my early 20’s. I became accustomed to hearing what my voice actually sounds like and got a lot better at controlling it as a result.
Those first few months of recording were rough though, lol. I hated listening to all of my recordings.
