I agree with you Toxi. It is bullshit. People like you or others, no matter what country of origin, came here legally and now see their hard process wasted when they could have just popped out 5 or 6 babies and then complain. I know we have a lot of Chinese illegals, I wonder why we never hear about them.
We ought to put a moratorium on immigration for a few years and let some people die out. I know that sounds cruel but let's thin the population a little bit and then start fresh.
i actually agree..
total cost of moving here legally..
1)cost of visas L1 /L2 buziness visas (ie lawyer) 50k in dollars from karachi
2)total cost of lawyers for 2 yrs to get greencards another 40k
3)cost of getting a citizenship within a yr another 70k (we had bought the biz in a corporation name and the bullshit rules say its gonna be in an individuals name etc etc so we paid in lawyer costs up the woohaa)
4)learning that we coulda just come here on a tourist visas and just stayed and saved $160,000..priceless!
