Unfortunately, becoming legal just isn't about following a process. There are limits as to how many, etc can come in. There are illegal immigrants because demand exceeds supply. Both on the work visa front as well as on the available job front.
So what this means is that we have a stupid law in place that is trying to artificially hold up/control salaries all the while supply and demand are working for adjustments. -----Original Message----- From: William Wheatley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 12:44 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Colin Powell: "This is BS" People just don't get that line, ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Sure we need people to do the shit work of the country and its great they are willing to do it and get paid like shit (still better then where they are from) but get your ass legal. I'm all for legal immigrants i f'ing hate illegal immigrants though do the due diligance to get yourself legalized. "When I came back from Korea, I had no money, no skills.
