Do you know how many legal immigrants are allowed into the U.S. every year? Do you know how long it takes to become a citizen of the U.S.?

I worked INS for a few years, so I know a lot of the arguments are plain wrong.

Amount of legal immigrants allow is right. Too many each year would
overload the system. There has to be a cutoff point. That may not seem fair to some, but it's what it is.

How long it takes depends on what status is being applied for. Becoming a citizen is a process - as it should be. But obtaining legal status is neither difficult nor is it overly expensive. The key word is legal status. Becoming a citizen is a long process, obtaining legal status is not.

I know we'll have to deal with some kind of amnesty, as much as I'm against it and hate it. It's the only way. What I cannot stand is illegal/legal migrants that come over here demanding we change our laws and everything to suit them, waving the mexican flag and calling for a revolution.

If they want a revolution, they should start in mexico. That's where the revolution needs to happen.

Your on to something here...and with the experience to back it up with working for INS...the legal immigration, illegal immigration, and the ones protesting waving a Mexican flag in US borders always seem to be lumped together. I don't believe anyone has a right to wave a flag of another nation in protest of our policies...that legal immigrants should be profiled because of those who do so illegally, in a state law by a state that issues drivers license without question of citizenship...how insane is that? BTW...Calderon is out of line protesting our law on our soil...he has many issues of his own there he should be addressing.
