Getting a green card is not easy. When I was in Canada one summer a few years back I told some people I was thinking of staying. The reaction universally was "are you out of your *mind*... do you you know what a lot of people would do for that green card?" And I am Canadian, mind you. I believe there is a waiting list for work visas. I am not sure because I married an American, which is a somewhat different process.
Now on the Mexican border... well, there was a three-hour wait at Juarez. The people who were trying to get visaas or workcards or whatever they are called, I saw at least 300 of them in the waiting room when I went in to ask about something. When I have had to renew the green card, I have had immigration officers tell me, oh, we aren't worried about you -- you speak english. While this makes soem sense, it does indicate to me that the average Mexican has a significantly harder time getting in legally than the average Canadian, and givent he above it would seem that the average Canadian doesn't necessarily find it easy to come here to work. hope that answers your question. >agree with that stance wholeheartedly.
