That's not actually what T said. I'll reword as best I can.

"A US citizen should be aghast at the idea of someone getting a "pass" when Immigration has already said she does not qualify".

(Sorry, T - not speaking for you, of course )

Thank you for restating my idea.

OP, If your mother is able to converse in English, so many opportunities open for her. If she wanted to function in her home language and culture, she should have remained there. While it would be nice if native American citizens were bilingual, that is not the case. Many are illiterate in Engligh; there is no way they could manage another language.


FWIW, members of my family are able to manage in at least a basic level in Russian, Spanish, French, , UK English, and Latin. I doubt your mother speaks any of these.
