Immigrants applying to enter US legally facing longer waits

As illegal immigrants continue to seek legal status under President Obama's executive actions, the waiting list to enter the United States legally grows longer, as does the waiting time for those in the pipeline.

American born Jimmy Gugliotta, who currently lives in Santiago, Chile, with his Argentinian wife and their children, has been waiting more than a year and a half for visas to bring his family to the U.S. He doesn't understand why going through the process legally puts him behind people who sneak into the U.S. illegally.

"It's really sad to see that we've been put in the back seat," Gugliotta told Fox News via email. "What I found outrageous is people like me, a U.S. citizen, are actually being put at the back of the line, and that to me is a total outrage."

In Barakistan honest people come last.

People who play by the rules, wait their turn, earn their own way, pay their own bills and raise their own children are treated like enimies of the state.

Line jumpers, criminals, rioters, looters, arsonists and moochers come first.

Fellow I work with married a Mexican and now has kids. He doesn’t have any trouble visiting her, but it’s been several years that he’s been trying to get his wife and kids here legally.

I think it would be so funny if all these people ended up voting for Republicans. I can sort of see it.

If it is his kids then they have the right to enter and citizenship.
If she was here prior to 97 and filed a paper then she doesn’t have to leave the country.
No paper, then she stays out for 6 months and comes in.
Family must maintain a 125% above poverty level income.

Couldn’t get her job and have the employer sponsor her? /S

And I’m half jokingly, being sarcastic.

I have a friend crom Canaduhhh and another from Engbland.

Cost em both in excess of $10k and 10 years.

Another from Australia came here and after 6 years of marriage became an American. I cried that day.

A year later, he dayvorced, became a wusband and I cried that day too.

Finally released from that prison, suffocating his soul.

LOL

BTW, I saw this story on Fox this morning.

Lucky guy. His wife is beautiful but, having been to Chile myself, I’d be tempted to stay and vacation in the U.S..

Only takes a day to get back to Calipornia and Chile is darn near the same climate.

I love the place, the people and food. Very comfortable there and they put up with my blue eyed spanish, unlike those punks in Spain.

The Obama “fast track” trade deal is a trojan horse.It’s disguised as “free trade” What It really allows is for Obama to flood the USA with unlimited number of immigrants and rewrite all U.S. laws ....

It’s Obamatrade but also Obama Amnesty to all the 3rd world.

This is true that the illegals are making the legals wait longer.

My aunt was an illegal alien. She applied for citizenship because she was damn tired of living like a criminal. From illegal to citizen, and she did it properly from lawyers to showing her paying taxes via ITIN so she wasn’t a bum to the system like these “Americans” who EBT their way to living.

This is how it should be, make it extremely hard like we do in Canada where now there is a much stricter quota system in place this year.
