[international american]

My wife is from Bejing, China. She spent 4 years here and obtained a degree in Nursing. She even got American credit cards, from 7 years ago, all of which have been current every month. It has cost me 12,000 dollars,and 1.2 years to get her here. She is an ER nurse, and even if I died could earn 50000 plus here. Then I look at the vermin sneaking over the border to collect food stamps, section 8 housing...multiple phony id's...ad nauseum, and I want to puke.

I know exactly how you feel.

Nearly every legal immigrant I know (and I know at least 30 from different countries) are FED UP with the US policy towards Illegal Immigrants and ask often "why the heck did I even go through all of that if the country just lets all these others in?" As an American, it is a damned hard question to answer. And President Bush doesn't make it any easier!!

In fact, I'd love to see that question from a LEGAL IMMIGRANT posed to Mr. Bush in a campaign talk show format. Neither he nor Rove could explain it away.

I am ashamed with the two of them over this, even though I suppor the President on many other issues.
