My husband is a naturalized citizen. He came to the states from Canada, his uncle in the East Coast sponsored him, theuncle had to sign a contract that if my husband got into any trouble theuncle would be responsible. He would be respponsible for two years. My husband had to sign a conatract saying he would NOT seek any aid of any kind except emergency medical, also he had to show that he would be self supporting. He worked around for a bit,then joined the AirForce (Korean conflict) and upon discharge became a citizen.
Why can't we continue these very valid rules today???
I am afraid that the president will continue with his amnesty program....(just thought I would throw that in)
They do have these rules - if you come in legally.
I have a daughter-in-law who has been through the immigration hoops for over three years and just got her permanent status. The requirements and bureaucracy are simply staggering. It includes a sponsor and all the rest of the above.
It is just the illegal immigrants sneaking into this country who are skating away scot free with it. The law-abiding immigrants are put through the wringer, if they can even get admitted.
This is a great new law in Arizona!
Why?
What possessed you to "throw that in"? I don't appreciate your gratuitous swipe at President Bush.
Having moved from AZ where I was HS Secretary, the local Hispanic did not like for the illegals to even come to school..they were the cause for 99% of friction on campus. They don't go to Dr. offices, they go to emergency rooms for care (all kinds of care) because they had to treat the patient, to the point several trama centers were bankrupted. The folks who live near the border complain of the foot traffic across their property and the trash and human waste left. One old gentleman who was wheel chair bound and his wife (both in their 80's) were frightened when a group of 20+ illegals rushed at them and he fired to run them off. His bullet struck one of them in the arm; the illegal was taken to the hospital; the old gentleman had his firearm confiscated and he was charged with attempted murder. They lived out of town and were protecting their ranch and lives. It's a shame these people have learned to run across the border because the past 10 -12 years have taught them nothing will happen except maybe be taken back to the border and then they can come back that night.
I have a lot of respect for your husband. He did things the right (legal) way.
