One of my relatives, from Canada, has the proper paperwork.
Took him 3 years to move here.
Why ?
The Immigration folks only allow so many green cards per year. They estimate the number of illegals that came in during a year, and subtract that amount from the number of green cards they issue to legal immigrants.
It would have taken him less than 6 months to get here otherwise. Ya see, he married my sister, while she was in Canada a few years ago.
Some of my friends wonder why I am not 'torn in two' about this. I'll get that in a moment.
My feeling is if someone wants to live under the laws of the US, they should obey those laws.
Torn in two ?
I'm Native American and European ancestry.
But I don't feel torn in two over this. Want to live here and not a citizen, apply like evey one else.
Note: There are illegals who aren't Hispanic.
Chinese, a number of illegals who are European who arrived without applying are here, lots of other folks.
The entire planet cannot live here, there isn't room.
No streets paved with gold, yet I have encountered, on a few trips outside the US to Europe, people who do think beyond all doubt there are streets made of gold in the United States.
There aren't any.
Why yes, I was threatened with a knife because I wouldn't tell them what cities in the US had gold streets.
Sigh. Come here legally. Otherwise, no.
edit:
One reason I don't like to discuss politics.
