NancyA,
I wanted to thank you for your posts regarding immigration. I read another member's post regarding the subject last night that was incorrect, but was relunctant to correct it. Thank you so much for doing so. I can confirm, from experience, that NancyA is correct is this matter. Immigration to the US is expensive, time consuming, and there are many, many hoops and red tape involved.
My pleasure. Should also point out the whole process is very stressful with uncertainty about your status even if you have nothing to hide and you do everything right, I didn't relax fully, worrying about being deported for missing a box or checking the wrong one or some document getting lost, until the conditions were lifted on my Green Card.
This is another black mark, like he needs one, against AB in my book, for those of us who do it the hard - LEGAL - way, illegals 'p' us off big style. It's not so much what choices they make for themselves re breaking the law, not to mention living with the constant fear of being discovered and deported, but when they involve their minor children, who have no choice, in such an insecure and precarious lifestyle, whereby those kids have NO official status to the point they can spend years here and having to keep the family 'secret' and one day find they will never be able to go to college or work legally and also have to live with the fear of being deported to a country they do not remember, now THAT is inexcusable.
