I helped someone, won't mention names but suffice it to say very close to me, with immigration issues. They wanted to be legal, so they went thru the PITA process. Yes, it's a PITA. Yes, it's ambiguos. But at the end of the day, they did it and now are 100% legal without any worries. Why? BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO. They didn't wallow in a sea of excuses. They just simply said, "you want me to jump how high?....Ok, here you go" and did it. It took months to do it, but they got it done. So I don't want to hear all the excuses that even though it is a PITA and it really SHOULD be easier for those that are WANTING to be here legally. It CAN be done, WHEN you WANT to. Waiting for amnesty is NOT doing something. It is no different than the other lazy a$$es that live off welfare and benefits when they could easily work for themselves because they are wishing on a star that a $100k/yr job falls into their lap. No different.

So stop all the excuses and DO something about your legal status. Don't give me this "we pave all your roads", "we do jobs you won't do".....damn right it won't get done if all you're willing to pay is $6/hr. If you put it up to where even the illegals had to compete on a level playing field with everyone else, they wouldn't do it for $6/hr either. It was eloquently explained by Kaiser in another post if you want to see the reason why.

What's next? Drug dealers forming unions to get their sentences reduced? Maybe we'll have bank robbers picket banks because they have alarm systems???? Dur, dur......
