Don’t think so...if it is it’s been ignored for decades.

[caww]

Well we know everything Trump attempts will be resisted....even thing that aren’t happening!

[caww]

Yes they have......you can blame past administrations for that.

Well YES INDEEDY. That’s how it was for my great-grands. AND they couldn’t be criminals or sick. Gee, cull the herd, that’s how you do it.

[Does so]

US$250K...

ABOUT DAMNED TIME!!!

Common sense dictates this. We have to stop the giveaway programs.

Yup, when we came in 1952 we had to have an American sponsor our family of four, who would take care of us financially, medically, etc., for five years, if need be. Fortunately, there was no need. We owe him a great debt of gratitude for taking that risk on...we were not related.

This will never fly. I've learned that the USA doesn't been to its citizens, it belongs to the world.

Free Traitors™ and Cheap Labor on the right and socialists the left like it this way.

Like every other country on earth

Including ours. On my spouses green card app I had to certify that I would provide support for 3?? maybe 5 years. That was 10 years ago.

I thought they cut it off completely (they aren’t accepting immigrants from the USA)?

[Jack Hammer]

This won’t be popular - it makes too much sense.

[Chickensoup]

Well, they have borders to specify they are countries...

It was that way during the immigration wave after World War II. If a church wanted to sponsor an immigrant, they found them a place to live and a job. There was none of this pick them up at the airport, sign them up for public assistance and get them in section 8 housing crap.

I have a Jewish friend who survived the war by being put off a train, taken in by a rural family prearranged to meet her and then applying to immigrate after the war. The quota to the United States had been filled, so she settled for an available slot for Brazil where she waited until a U.S. visa became available.

No free rides in those days, not even for a few months.
