I have say yes there are ppl tryin 2 do it da rite way and are getting screwed,and I am sorry to hear about the long wait for your husband.And yes da gov system is all broken down and they need to fix it big time. And Ayers listen not for nothing the part about sending immigrants home and maybe the unemployment rate will drop is almost crapbecause wat the illegal immigrant do here more than half the americans wont do it. Check out if we took out the immigrants thats doing whats needed watch how so much stuff would drop cause they tried it already. And for those who got thru with becoming a citizen and are able to work just cause they come from some where else we have to look at them as if they were born rite here like us. they gain the same education and experience that we do and work just as hard to get as far as we do. And let me ask a question how come illegal immigrants cant work legally but they pay taxes when they work how are you given a tax id number and have to pay taxes if you cant work here what is the purpose? And what happen to the illegal immigrants who work just has hard to take care of there family and cant get what they deserve just like everyone else? I heard of true stories where ppl who have came here illegally got caught n did it again had no problems getting there papers but for some one who tries so hard cant get it as easy its stupid. Look around you'll see what I'm talking about.

First of all there are people who are her that are trying to things the legal way.But only to be scam by the immigration system.My husband has been waiting on his citizenship papers for ten long years.It has cost us thousand of dollars.We are not the only ones.SO by all means look into the gov.system and you find out why there is so many illegal over here.The immigration system failed to do theyre jobs.There are people who are doing what is right only to get done wrong

Well let me just start by saying if these so called illegal people were sent home our unemployment rate would drop and also because it is not fair that they can work here and get foodstamps also and don't tell me they can't because i know they can but that is our Gov.policy and i don't want to hear they only work jobs americans don't want because that is just to cover our goverments butt for not doing anything about it ans also the news never speaks to us that doesn't want them herejust the company's that want them
