I recently learned from a co worker that unless you have a relative, or spouse who is a citizen it can take you up to 10 years to come to the U.S permanently. I learned also her cousin has been here 8 years, has renewed his visa every year, and applied for a green card years ago. He is here paying taxes, working, and basically being an upstanding citizen. After all of this, why does it take so long?
I will not stand for people being blocked from living the American dream. I was born here, am of caucasian descent so this is not personal to me. I want you to give the people of other countries the rights that we have had. We are a nation of immigrants. Please stop deporting people back unless you know they will be safe. No welfare queens either just hard workers like the U.S Was built on!
