In the late 50s, my mother’s best friend came to visit from England. After she returned home, she decided she wanted to move here. My parents had to sponsor her. They had to promise to support her until she found employment and also agreed to pay for any housing, food, and medical needs that arose. She lived with us while she obtained US credentials in the career she had in England and then until she got established. I have no problem with a return to those standards for admission to our country.
we used to, and almost every country currently has these standards. they don’t take in our poor, sick, and unwanted thats for damn sure.
In the late 1990s, I had to sign a similar statement before the US Embassy would issue a visa to Mrs. VanShuyten.
Mid-eighties, my US citizen half brother & his Aussie-born wife & kids had to be sponsored by my parents when my brother wanted to return to the US.
He had never given up his US citizenship.
They had to help him with his business and anything else financial, so he and family wouldn’t become a public charge.
Those exist TODAY!
They are ignored by illegals and those who help them. It is illegal.
back in the eighties, I became close friends with and English girl who was here to manage a property owned by Lord Palumbo, she was monitored very closely by INS to make sure she wasn’t “taking a job from an American”, she had more problems than any illegal does today. The only US asset she drew on was driving on our roads, but our government treated her like a criminal.
