9,500 were denied

We have 10 million illegals, this is not even a dent. More than 9500 illegals sneak accross the border each week.

Of the 17,900 marriage-based petitions processed in fiscal year 2003, 9,500 were denied, or a record 53%, said Mary Ann Gantner, interim director of the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services' district in New York.

Is this for the entire USA or just the NY district? Seems to me that there were MILLIONS that got in under the LIFE act (which required mrriage).

Gantner said she does not feel sorry for those who commit fraud. "My sympathies lie more with the individual who is waiting in their home country - waiting in line - doing things legally," she said.

That's got to be the first immigration lawyer I've heard say that. Is there hope yet?
