paper I filed. I 100 percent agreed with this paper. Illegal immigrants do not have to prove this at all so at any time they can easily become a burden on our government costing us thousands of tax dollars to take care of them. It took over a year for all the paperwork and visa approvals to get completed. And this venture cost us over 5000 dollars. Then at the port of entry my wife was rudely degraded, they called her names, they made fun of her and said she was a liar and put her through a devastating 4-hour interview that almost made her late for her flight out to get to me. The poor woman was crying clear until she got to my city and was in my arms. Why should we have to pay these outrageous fees and go through that horrible experience and have to wait over a year for the papers to be processed and others can just walk across the border. Walk a mile in the shoes of someone who has stuck it out paid the fees and dealt with the issues and you will to understand our views on illegal immigration.

Our governments most recent action to step forward and stop illegal immigration was the idiotic idea of raising the prices of all visas and permanent residency cards, and green cards. How stupid is that. Let's think logically now, lets raise the prices of everything so the people who can barely afford the fees now just decide to screw the system for lack of money and do what their cousin did and jump the border. Lets make the people who want to get here legally suffer because of the actions of the millions of illegal immigrants already here. Instead of punishing the ones making the illegal acts they punish those trying to do the right thing.

These processes and visas are set up for specific reasons. Evading these procedures only hurts the people trying to get here legally and do the right thing. Those so-called crappy jobs paying low wages I read about are available no matter if you're legal or illegal. So what would stop that same illegal immigrant from attempting to get that same exact job once he was legal. Maybe Americans don't want those jobs SO WHAT! All we ask is that the people get legal documentation and taxes be paid correctly and they can have those jobs. It is hard and it does cost money but at least our government and American society is not getting ripped off. So for people who think it is ok for the illegal immigrants to take jobs just because they are not wanted by hard working Americans remember those same illegal people can easily apply for that exact job once they are fully documented and legal.

My views on Illegal immigration are plain and simple it needs to stop instantaneously. Without delay something needs done last year to end this illegal, impeding, thieving act of injustice.
