re: #18 Lidane

Maybe if we decided to reform our LEGAL immigration system so that the whole process is more streamlined and makes any sort of fucking sense, we wouldn’t have entire generations that fell through the cracks.

It’s not just about stopping illegal immigration. We need a rational legal immigration system too and we don’t have one.

I recall reading an article by an Aussie who described the process of getting citizenship in the States. He said it was one of the most confusing and aggravating things he’d ever done. If he weren’t married to an American, he said he would have chucked the whole idea entirely.
