Why did I bother following the US' immigration laws???

I could've just crossed the border at Arizona, and I would've avoided all the hassle... (/groan)

Outrageous, and discouraging for those with a conscience who followed the laws of the country that invited them to live and work and be future Americans.

I'm sure it is discouraging to you and others who went through the hassle (and I've heard it's a BIG hassle) of following the law to live here. That's why it's no real suprise the majority of legal immigrants support enforcing the laws against illegal immigration. Well, that and the fact that legal immigrants come here to be Americans and cast their lot with the rest of us. Most illegals come here for monetary reasons. If the U.S goes under they can always head back home, no big loss for them.

Welcome to our country (and hopefully yours someday). You've chosen a great field, and I wish you all the success you deserve. Congratulations on coming here legally.
