I haven't opened the article because I suspect I'm not in the right headspace for it, but I wanted to share my thoughts. I did my degree in the US and my experience with the immigration system was so traumatic that I just gave up entirely and didn't try to stay in the US after graduation. I wouldn't say I regret it, but it does feel wasteful at the end of the day to have put all that time/effort/energy in only to come back to my home country. But oh well.
