Yeah. no kidding.
Being a Canadian, who's followed all the rules, spent thousands of dollars on legal fees and immigration fees to get a VISA, only to have to do the same ring-around every few years when my VISA "expires", the new laws allowing illegals to stay, frustrates the hell out of me.
Talk about double standard.
ME:
"Yes, I'd like to immigrate and become American, because the industry I work in is monopolized by your country."
INS:
"Ok, sir. Are you rich or own a business? Do you bring investment dollar to the states?"
ME:
"No."
INS:
"Are you white, resonably educated, and speak 3 languages? Are you able to remain employed and find work on your own? Do you have enough experience in your field to get hired?"
ME:
"Yes"
INS:
"Do you pick berries, park cars, wash dishes, cut grass or assemble cars?"
ME:
"No."
INS:
"Sorry. You're **** out of luck."
PS - Any americans who have opinions on immigrating to this country, let me hear about it. I'd be curious to hear what you have to say. Do Americans REALLY consider Canadians/ Europeans/Asians etc a threat to their jobs?
