Some of the DAILY work of USIS according to their own document:
* Conduct 135,000 national security background checks
* process 30,000 applications for immigrant benefits
* Issue 7,000 permanent resident cards (green cards -PER DAY)(This is what McCain wants to increase....5 days per week x 7,000 x 52 weeks= 1,820,000 PER YEAR)
* Welcome 2100 new citizens.
* Welcome 3500 new permanent residents.(more of what McCain would increase....3500x5x52weeks=910,00 PER YEAR)
Does this look like we are not allowing enough “Legal” entries?
Truer words were never spoken.
HOWEVER - I am violently against rewarding people that have come here illegally in any fashion whatsoever!!! Secure the border for sure, but don’t then turn around & let the people that sneaked in against the rules be allowed to stay, work, get a driver’s license, free health care, education, etc. This makes me so mad!
And it has NOTHING to do with being against foreigners or people of color. My brother-in-law came here LEGALLY from another country & finally got his citizenship & I am so proud of him. But it MUST be done within LEGAL parameters.
Well said. I agree. I support legal immigration and even making its machinery more responsive and efficient, especially where it encourages citizenship and not a "here-but-resentful" subculture.
Well said but also turn off the government spigot of free services. If the allure of free services were turned off, we may not even need the fence.
