Swampman, you got your head in the sand again, it is not the cost that is the delay in getting to America legally, plainly and simply, it is the huge number of applications that must be processed by our limited Immigration Dept. Also keep in mind, applications coming from those countries where dictators abuse the people or political applications are normally processed first.
To a large degree, our constitution ties our hands in dealing with outsiders, think how much better off we would be if our laws were changed to resemble these rules...........read all the way to the bottom before making judgment.
Here are the rules!
There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools, no special ballots for elections, all government business will be conducted in our language.
Foreigners will NOT have the right to vote no matter how long they are here.
Foreigners will NEVER be able to hold political office.
Foreigners will not be a burden to the taxpayers. No welfare, no food stamps, no health care or other government assistance programs.
Foreigners can invest in this country, but it must be an amount equal to 40,000 times the daily minimum wage.
If foreigners do come and want to buy land,that will be okay, BUT options will be restricted.
You are not allowed waterfront property. That is reserved for citizens naturally born into this country.
Foreigners may not protest; no demonstrations, no waving a foreign flag, no political organizing, no bad-mouthing our president or his policies, if you do you will be sent home.
If you do come to this country illegally, you will be hunted down and sent straight to jail.
Harsh, you say?
The above statements are the immigration laws of MEXICO not the USA.

P.S. Recently, when he met with President George W. Bush, Mexican President Calderon made a statement to the effect that “Mexico has no borders……Mexico is wherever Mexicans are.” Needless to say, President Bush had nothing to say in response. Isn’t it time we had a president willing to push back and tell the Mexicans that for us, a border means business…..and that their country does NOT exist outside of its borders?
