I don't really want to beat a dead horse but I thought this was worth posting -- an immigrant advocate answering some of the more thoughtful ojections to illegal immigration. The most interesting quote:
``If you are a Mexican wanting to get a legal visa to work as a waiter in the United States, you would be dead before you get your visa.'' It's somewhat easier to immigrate legally if you have close family members who are U.S. citizens, but often not by much. According to the latest U.S. State Department's visa bulletin, there is a lengthy backlog in several family visa application categories. The U.S. government is now processing 1992 applications of Mexican adult children of U.S. citizens, and 1987 applications of Filipino brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens. http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/04/29/1603473/why-dont-they-come-legally-they.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
