And people like me, who are legally immigrating to the U.S., are getting screwed for being law abiding and playing by the rules. I've legally been in the U.S. for almost 12 years, and an illegal whose been here 2 years and 1 day gets to stay, gets an employment authorization card (so he can work anywhere) while I'm on a visa specific to my job. Every legal immigrant I know feels betrayed by the U.S. government on this one.

1) Were you against Carter's "amnesty" for draft-dodgers and deserters?

2) What if part of this "amnesty" requires everyone to get in line AFTER those already seeking legal status the right way?

So do most of the Americans born here. - I cannot understand this massive betrayal of public trust...

And, my FRiend, that is exactly what has happened to you, and to them.

Anyone here legally has my blessing. You have a right to come here legally and make a life for yourself and your family. If you are here working, earning a living, helping your family thrive in a better environment, welcome and have at it. It is those that lie, cheat, steal and play the system (and I include our own stinking citizens in that) who need their butts kicked. Have a nice life and good luck.
