Are we allowed to RP once we're approved?

Yeah sure, it’s alright by me!

We may also need to find more people to join the RP.

MASS DEPORTATIONS AND ARRESTS OF MIGRANTS UNDERWAY AS CLAYTON ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCES STRICTER BORDER SECURITY

_{| WASHINGTON, D.C. — In response to a growing number of illegal migrants crossing the border, the Clayton Administration announced a series of robust measures aimed at safeguarding the border and tackling the ongoing immigration crisis that has become a political and cultural flashpoint across America. Federal officials already confirmed that coordinated operations involving immigration authorities and federal law enforcement agencies are already underway in multiple states in what is being referred to as “Operation Iron Gate”. The operation which officials describe as one of the largest coordinated efforts in recent years has resulted in thousands of arrests within its first week. Immigration officers have been deployed to major urban centers as well as border regions, focusing on individuals with outstanding removal orders or prior criminal convictions, though broader enforcement actions are being carried out in major metropolitan areas. The federal government is also adopting zero-tolerance policies, criminally prosecuting individuals who violate the country’s immigration laws.}

_{Reports from border communities indicate an increased federal presence with surveillance drones, temporary checkpoints, and National Guard units assisting in logistical operations. Temporary processing centers are being established near key transit corridors to handle the surge in detentions, and additional immigration judges have been appointed to accelerate case processing. Border barriers are also being constructed on the American side of the Rio Grande as they are expected to prevent and deter further illegal crossings, enhancing the overall security infrastructure. Federal officials say that these measures are necessary to curb illegal immigration while ensuring that lawful trade and travel remain largely uninterrupted.}

_{Critics, however, have raised concerns over the scope and humanitarian implications of the policy. Elena Marquez, the Director for the “Coalition for Migrant Justice” argued that the accelerated deportation process may limit access to legal counsel and due process for migrants, especially those seeking asylum or refuge. They have also reported instances of families being separated during early morning enforcement raids however federal officials have refused to comment on these claims. Democratic lawmakers also heavily criticized the administration over its immigration policy. Legal groups have already indicated plans to challenge the operation in federal court.}

_{Meanwhile, protests have erupted in several major cities across the country including Phoenix, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, New York City and Miami as marchers carrying banners and placards bearing messages like “Families Belong Together” and “No Human Is Illegal” voicing their opposition to the current government. Activists are urging the government to reconsider its enforcement policy and hope that they will pursue a more humanitarian approach for those seeking refuge or asylum. However, the Clayton Administration has remained steadfast and while they acknowledge the protests it maintains that the policies are necessary for national security and to uphold the rule of law. The government also indicated that the enforcement operations will continue in phases in the next few months with additional funding and resources being allocated to monitor Operation Iron Gate’s effectiveness.}

A fine point indeed, I tried getting someone over, but they're still on the sidelines.

You might also want to set up embassies with other regions. Also do you happen to have telegram stamps? You can use those for recruitment telegrams which tremendously with getting new members.
