How a proposed green card application policy change would disrupt lives by assuming?

Imagine you're on a fun trip to a new city, but suddenly someone changes the rules for how you get your special ticket to stay there forever, and it messes up all your plans.

Green cards are like that special ticket. They let people live and work in a country long-term, just like having a gold pass to a favorite playground.

Right now, if someone applies for a green card, they usually get it after waiting for a while, kind of like getting a gold pass after lining up for a few minutes.

But the new rule says: "If you're already in line for your gold pass, and someone else comes behind you with a faster ticket, we might make them skip ahead." This change could mean people who were patiently waiting might be bumped out of line, disrupting their lives like changing the rules mid-game.

It's like being halfway through building a cool treehouse when someone says, "Oh, we’re going to build a different one instead!" That can feel unfair and confusing.
