As a legal immigrant, it took me years to get my green card first, and citizenship next. But it did not take thousands of dollars! I had some application fees, plus the expenses of occasionally driving to the local INS office. The most expensive item was the trip to Atlanta for my citizenship exam, but even that did not come anywhere close to "thousands of dollars".
I do believe some people expend ridiculous amounts of money in this same process. I have seen people with immigration lawyers, filling in the same paperwork that my husband and I had filled in the convenience of our living room. I wonder how much those fancy immigration lawyers charge! What a scam!
He is an illegal. He needs to go home. Wonder who put them up to this and what they were promised?
My goodness, it is all over.

Uh, the way to prevent that tragic outcome is for ALL of you illegal wetbacks to swim back home to mejico. Then the whole family can be together where you belong.
Family of illegal immigrant needs to STFU!
I have zero compassion or sympathy for illegals. They’ve been the perps far more often than they’ve been the victims.
They are a net drag on our country.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- As New Mexico steps closer to stricter licensing laws for illegal immigrants, the family of a local illegal immigrant is risking blowing his cover to send a message to legislators.
The mother said she's scared for her husband and afraid their family will be torn apart.
Her husband of the past six years is an illegal immigrant.
"He doesn't drink, he doesn't smoke, he doesn't do drugs -- he works, he does his taxes," the woman said. "He has been one of the most positive role models of a man that I have ever encountered in life."
The New Mexico House of Representatives voted Friday to prevent illegal immigrants from getting driver's licenses.
The local press and TV stations are working overtime to depict illegals as victims in new-Governor Martinez' efforts to prevent illegals from getting licenses. However, as a prosecutor in Las Cruces since 1996 she knows the damage criminal illegals do to society (crime, drugs) let alone costs for social services.
It will take a small miracle for the bill that passed the house to make it through the Rat-controlled state senate.
