What about the legal ones?
Fifteen years ago my wife and I began a journey though the expensive bureaucratic land called legal immigration. The process took years and each step cost a few hundred dollars and would be more if you used a lawyer I am sure. There were plenty of bureaucratic snafus, like losing photo's or paperwork. Then we made the terrible mistake of moving 17 miles from Maryland to Pennsylvania and that caused our case to get transferred to Philadelphia from Baltimore even though we are an hour drive from Baltimore but 2.5 from Philly. Which caused our case to get moved back in the order of processing. Eventually...after thousands of dollars, to many 4am wake ups to get to Philly by 7am because all in person meetings are at a first come first serve basis and the line forms quickly, eventually...my wife who came he from that exotic locale called Canada received her "green card". And this is what pisses me off about the immigration debacle. We did it the right way...we jumped through all the hoops, payed all the fees....did all they asked...usually twice because the first time got "lost"....and we are now played as chumps. Where is the legal aliens voice in this debate....I guess we do not have one because we paid our cash. Seems to me in 2013 only the fools follow the rules.
