People who don't want to help illegal people get status are a bunch of self righteous opportunist pricks. The only reason they take the higher ground is because they or their loved ones are not affected.

Just because people in Nepal are suffering does not mean that life cannot go on in other places. Being a Nepali living in the US, all you can do is donate some money or in extreme cases make a trip to Nepal for a few days or weeks to help out some and then you come back. But mostly we are restricted to giving some donation to give solace to our hearts and minds. Besides that, we go do our normal day to day work. We go try to make our lives better wherever we are. One of the things that would make life better for a lot of people is if TPS is declared for Nepalis. There is nothing wrong with making your daily living while things are bad in Nepal, and in the same way there is nothing wrong with trying to make a better life for yourself whether it be working that extra hour or petitioning for TPS.

Don't let these self righteous pricks think that they are any better than people who have had a little bad luck resulting in their status.

These same people are hell bent on showing how much they care about Nepal and Nepalis but as soon as they have to do something for fellow Nepalis in the US, they feel like they are morally better than them as if they have never done anything illegal in their life.

Nepalis are not begging for TPS, they are only asking for US to consider since they have done it many times to other disaster stricken countries.
