Really just a quickie

Happy New Year to all of Blogville and friends, etc. Over to you mum: As most of you know I am not a US Citizen (I'm from the UK) but am here legally, paid taxes while I was working, etc. However, not being a citizen, I cannot vote over here an generally feel that because of that, any opinions I may have, I keep to myself. However, this Presidential election has raised some issues that really upset me. I have just come from reading the post from the young girl who was upset at Trump. I lived in the NY/NJ area from 1982 through 1999 and so saw and heard many things about Trump. Most of which I could ignore. However, I cannot keep quiet about some of his immigration policies. When I came over here in 1962 it was very easy for a British citizen to get a visa/green card. I understand that it is not so easy now and so I REALLY appreciate being able to keep my citizenship and take advantage of being a legal immigrant here. I am sure that many people will ask why I never became a US citizen -- expecially since my ex worked at NASA and had high level security clearance. A short answer is that my ex and I had an agreement -- if my being a UK citizen should affect his clearance, I would become a US citizen. It didn't and so I didn't. I have been divorced since 1978 so it is a moot point. Another point that is brought up is why I don't move back to the UK. Believe me, there have been many times I have considered it, but I just haven't. If my lawsuit ever gets settled satisfactorily I may go over there for a few months -- but at my age ...... Sorry to be such a party pooper on new years day, but ...... So, saying that I will now say HAPPY NEW YEAR and ttf and toodle pip Cookie and family
