Hello Friends,

The Obama administration is talking about giving greencards/citizen ships to illegal immigrants. It also gives away 55,000 green cards every year to people from around the world under the name of diversity lottery.

The government seems to forget that there are legal immigrants (highly skilled professionals under green card categories EB2 and EB3) that have been waiting for more than 10 years just to get their green cards and still wait indefinitely.

Please help them remind the government that they need to do something about it first before handing over green cards to others by signing the following petition.

Thank You for looking into it.

In terms of greencards, I think we should make a simple rule. If you rank in the top 1% in terms of intelligence or a specific in-demand skill, you get a greencard to train citizens in the in-demand skills. Reject everyone else. We need to be more selective with legal immigrants.

Obama better not be handing out citizenships to illegals who are just going to turn around and legally hop on welfare.

I'd be pissed too, if I came to the country legally and was waiting for years to get a GC and then someone who went about everything illegally gets a GC just because he/she is illegal.

Wouldn't that be nice?
