> People seem to hold views that getting visas to the US is a human right.

Come on, there's nothing to be gained by misrepresenting people's views.

The argument is a simple one: if you are currently within the immigration process you should be able to move through that process in a timely manner, with clear communication of expectations. Freezing appointments is a political hack: they're not changing the law, they're not altering what anyone is entitled to. They're just leaving people in limbo.

You're saying "these people took a risk", and you're right. But that doesn't mean we can't criticize the people ensuring their bet is a losing one in the least moral way possible.

Here is what hvb2 actually said:

> “Just ‘putting a pause’ on people with existing appointments with no answer for when they might resume is.... Inhumane”

And now you're saying:

> “if you are currently within the immigration process you should be able to move through that process in a timely manner, with clear communication of expectations.”

Sure it sucks. But do you understand there is no right to have this visa application interview nor a yes/no decision in a timely manner? Applying for a visa is a privilege. You aren't being denied some human right if the process is interrupted.
