yes, illegals are usually educated, and flowing with money. this is why canadians should stick to things canadians know about. maple syrup, hockey, terrance and phillip, and BTO. rich illegals aren't coming here. unskilled labor is showing up.

The wayt I see it, it's reasonable to welcome LGBT people into the US, based on this alone.
Hmmmm, then why is it that the Muslim radicals kill homosexuals? They are certainly not adhering to Christian principles.

You are aware the word "progressive" used as I.D. for a party/folks/whatever is a substitute word for "communism." The movement changed the name back in the 1920's when communism was exposed for what it was, so they tried to hide their political agenda.

Now, let's get back to stopping all this terrible influx of illegals.

This is true, and it happens all the time, too.

Nothing prevents this except Obama's constant litany of exceptions and special cases (gays, aliens with American children, illegals married to Americans but are not legal themselves, etc...).
I would like to see some links to special exceptions for those cases. They sure do not show up on USCIS pages, nor do immigration attorneys seem to be aware of them. (I am a legal resident in the US and have contact with countrymen immigrating.)

Quote:
IIRC marrying an American citizen while on this soil only spares those from certain countries from being deported if one is an illegal. The biggest worry was that until Obama and his administration decided to waive the mandate that illegal spouses must leave the country as part of the process for spousal green card. Because many such aliens were visa over stays this would trigger the automatic period of being banned from entering the USA for a certain length of time. To remedy this Obama waived his magic pen again and that requirement is now waived.
Again, I would like to see some evidence? The USCIS homepage is still very insistent that I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) applications do not provide any residency privileges at all. Overstaying a visa while the I-130 is processed (that typically takes 5-7 months if everything goes perfect) is still grounds for removal, and every professional working with immigration will warn you about it. USCIS has no sense of humor. None.

Quote:
All this rot stems from the Kennedy immigration laws that put family reunification above all else.
You want US citizens who marry a foreign national to live apart form their loved ones? The only categories that are not subject to quotas (and hence a wait in line that often lasts decades) are spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents. And that's not for citizenship, mind - that's for Green Card.

I keep hearing about exceptions in the debate, but among those who actually are in the process, not a peep.

Asylum is of course an entirely different matter - it's for those persecuted due to politics, race, nationality, membership n a particular social group etc.

Sure... everything is "Obama's fault." Nevermind that Democrats support the illegals for the votes and Republicans support them for the cheap labor... no, no... everything was perfect in 'merica until January 2009... Unreal...
Rambler, these are very old arguments. Have you checked out the border in the last several months?

Not all fit into the profile you described.
I suggest you look up the word 'usually' in the dictionary. Maybe English isn't your mother tongue?

See? This administration spreads the welcome mat out equally.

At least the LGBT are fleeing persecution unlike the Central Americans who are merely fleeing poverty.

None that you have seen.
