Portuguese immigration laws stirring up big feelings

Just passed in Portuguese Parliament, the path for us expats and immigrants toward citizenship in Portugal is changing. Some people are fed up with how over-immigration is impacting this country and are cheering for reform. Some are livid that these changes will have a tangible impact on their lives, and not a positive one. It seems like everyone in Portugal is having big feelings right now. Online, in person, if you are thinking of moving to Portugal or living here, this is the topic of the moment. We break down what is changing, who's happy, who is unhappy, and why. Then we go through some of the social media posts we've seen. Some advice from Ryan the therapist: if you are coming at this discussion from a place of anger, maybe think about it a little more. We are all entitled to feel our feelings, but to have a fruitful conversation about a complicated topic, it's often really helpful to do your best to try to see both sides.
