I Played by the Rules on Immigration. Why Is the U.S. Making It So Hard for Me to Become a Doctor?

I greatly sympathize! But for Pete’s sake he and his family have high IQs and should have taken care of this years ago before he was 21. Should have had an immigration lawyer on the case years ago and paid him the lousy $5000-$7000 (In installments if necessary) to take care of his (Brandon’s) status. They should have known that he was going to be screwed this way

How about Med School in Canada where Brandon is a citizen?

[dennisw]

Back of the line cracker.

Viva Mexico!
Y El Salvador!
Y Guatemala!
Y Honduras!
Screw you white boy!

[albie]

I wonder how he and his family votes?

[Lockbox]

Just explain that you are a refugee fleeing a repressive government.......ours!

[markomalley]

I wonder how he and his family votes?

I would hope, since they are only Green Card holders, that they don't vote at all.

[Former Proud Canadian]

You got that right.

[Macoozie]

Sob story.
Follow the law.

If you are not a US Citizen, you are not a US Citizen.
Go back to Canada and go to school there.
Overstaying a visa or “timing out” makes you a law breaker.

We have enough illegal-alien lawbreakers as it is,
or am I being redundant?

[Hot Tabasco]

As far as I'm concerned, fill the university class rooms with American kids first then if there are any seats left, give them out to the foreigners........

My nephew had to wait a year before he could get into University of Michigan's med school because of the greenies who were accepted ahead of him.........

[impimp]

Except he never was illegal, so I have sympathy for his sob story.

[DaveA37]

1, You’re white
2, You speak English
3, You probably vote “conservative”

[ottbmare]

Reread the article. He’s not here illegally. He hasn’t overstayed a visa.

[texas booster]

His point is that the law is stupid.

Congress and the mob of “faceless bureaucrats” have created a system so that one cannot wade through the “legal” way of becoming a citizen.

[magellan]

In the progressive left’s caste system, victim hood is everything. A legal English speaking cis-gendered, heterosexual, white male immigrant will always fall near the bottom if the caste structure. The undocumented transgendered lesbian Latina immigrant will be near the top of the caste structure.

[Gritty]

It's obvious. White boys can't jump...

If this guy were smart, he would head to Mexico, hire a coyote for $7,000, and get into the USA the easy way. Then he would be home free and in medical school with free or in-state tuition inside of six months. He could also get welfare and food stamps. But that's no big deal. Anybody can do that.

[DarkSavant]

Yup. Spend thousands of dollars for citizenship, 20k for a green card, or just find some nice girl.

A colleague of mine is in this situation. After her VISA renewal fiasco she suddenly got VERY interested in getting married. Just got engaged.

[Biggirl]

Will never happen.

[beachn4fun]

Except he never was illegal, so I have sympathy for his sob story.

Yeah, but why did it take them 15 years to decide to become an American?

[impimp]

Transferring from some types of Visas to a green card and then to citizenship is full of risks. For example, if you try to apply for a green card from a nafta visa could wind up with you being denied entry to the US. I would bet nafta was involved in this case.
