Manu Joseph: Migrating to the US has long been a rite of humiliation
Even the most dignified part of the process, which was the first step, where the bright applied for a student visa to go study something in science, lacked grace. An enduring memory of my childhood in Madras is the sight of a half mile-long queue of the city’s cultural elite for their fateful visa interviews.

Trump’s birthright citizenship stunt diminishes America’s greatness
“In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now,” she said. The vast majority of immigrants are not criminals, Budde said, but pay taxes and are good neighbours. Trump scarcely looked at her.
