The whole generation thing gets so much funnier when you think how other countries exist.

Imagine you experience a military coup at age of 10 and flee to North Iraq with your family where you live for a few years until your Asylum status gets processed and come to US.

Because of how weird whole process is however you still have to stay in a migrant detention center for anywhere between 2 days to several months depending on your age and gender as they check your papers and luggage.
(It looks like this btw.)

Then some highschool teacher calls you overgrown toddler because "your generation is too sissy to drink from a hose."
