Number of immigrants

[chewy]

I always thought the USA border was well protected on the Mexico side. After looking at the minutemen project webiste I see it is not so secure. Some places there is nothing but a small barbed wire fence. What would have to be done to stop the problem of illegal immigration?

The southern border has never been secure and even now with the minutemen project and all of our (supposed) best efforts it still isn't secure. The northern border is worse yet because it has been neglected for soo long. What we would have to do to stop the problem will NEVER BE done because it will cost more money and because it would look bad politically and the people that have the power to change things never will because they care more about how things LOOK like we are doing rather than how we are actually doing. Plus they all care more about thier image and political career than they do at all about the country they CLAIM to love!

Does anyone know how it works in the US. I am sure it is harder to immigrate to the USA but does anyone know for sure? Chewy and K-9Maly and thoughts?

Yep, I am German and work and live in North Carolina as a OfficerII. If you try to come legal to the states, you need money (a lot) luck, or conections, married
Luck = greencard lotery
conections = you know
money = You can get a investment visa and have to bring $1mio up.
marriage = thats me.

my wife is a Army JAG, met her in Kosovo.

Whats wrong with Germany?

I had to pay more as $2500 fee for all paperwork to become a legal resident.
right now I am processing for the citicenship (costs again rd. $1500)[/QUOTE]

Just thought Id ask since I deal with immigration issues daily and have lived in Germany in excess of 10 years. You didnt seam to profees your love for the wife in your posting. Typical, she is a meal ticket hugh! Can you say lottery! Seems like a meal ticket. If its the USN that explaines it all..

I wasn't really complaining as much as I was stating my experiences and observtions working on the front line of the immigration process in this country.


There is a difference between being open and letting everyone and their dog in. I have seen people let into the country with Criminal recrods in their countries and I have also seen people who after immigrating have committed some serious Criminal Code offences. Peace loving and openness is good but because someone applies and is rejected 5 times should we let them in on their sixth application?


Ya you are right about that. We only produce 10.84 births per 1,000 which is barely enough to sustain the current population.

Spoken like a man working the line. Crim. aliens send there butts home. You broke the law, now you are on the first thing flying. Im fed up. going to the atf where atleast everyone is happy smoking, drinking and shooting stuff.

I guess people like Oscar Antonio Ortiz don't help the problem.

Ouch...sounds kind of harsh, especially given the topic was about immigration, not love for our spouses. Oh, and by the way...he said, "my wife is a Army JAG, met her in Kosovo" so leave the Navy alone! :D
