Revolution

Evening

Tonight, people in the line for green card holders at JFK were revolting: the line for visitors was moving faster.
A woman with an English accent shouted: “Get the supervisor, we are permanent residents. Do you know what that means?” A charming woman from Asian descent was just laughing.
And an older lady with a heavy Eastern European accent said: “This is not America anymore.” Altogether it was a pleasant evening.
