A rancher near here, whose ranch is literally on the border; fell in love with and married a Mexican lady. They applied to do everything legally and it has been a nightmare. You cannot imagine the teasing they have had to put up with- it is plain to everyone she could have simply walked across, and no one would have been the wiser.
Immigration for those trying to go the legal route is a nightmare, and that is what should have been addressed with any reform. Now I don't see how if this new Immigration scheme passes it won't bog down the system and make it even tougher on those trying to follow the law.
Heres the difference........Legal immigrants cannot be percieved as a class of victims. The victim/racist/oppressed mentality is being manufactured by a subvesive movement within our government who believes they can better represent victims rather than representing self starters.
Self starters have too much independence and place too much thought into voting for politicians who make a real difference.
