I work with migrant workers in my job. I
am appalled sometimes at the amount of difficulties and prejudices they face.
It is virtually impossible for those that are illegal to become “legal”.
Basically there is a law right now that says if you crossed the border illegally
you can’t change your immigration status. If you try to and they realize
you have been here longer than 6 months then you can be banned from the country-
for three to ten years. Everyone talks about the problem of so many illegal
aliens- no one addresses that it is virtually impossible to become legal here and
it is practically impossible to get a Visa to come and work here so it is a no win
situation for those seeking to just have a chance at a better life and more opportunities.
I could go on but that is enough of my soap box..

The immigration issue in the United States goes beyond
the Mexican and
Canadian borders. The quota's for European
countries is much higher
than for Africa, Asia, Mexico or South America.
Granted that times are
much more frightening for many Americans but this
has been going on as
long as legal immigration has been an issue. If
your skin is light you
have a much easier time getting into this country
legally. Times are
changing but sadly not on this issue..
