With how little the average American knows about immigration, it has to make you think what they're all on about when they're screeching about illegals (whether pro-or-against.) Consider the cases where people are outraged because an illegal can marry a citizen... you think maybe it's possible they're outraged because they think it's automatic citizenship?

Most people are just parroting the lies they hear in the media from people like Lou Dobbs.

EDIT: This is rapidly turning into an "Off-Topic" discussion, so I'll stop here.

Yes, it's a shame that this post doesn't address all of the issues legal immigrants face. I'm surprised its digg entry isn't getting more confused "I thought you just had to get married" comments!

Dr_LHA, I only just saw this post of yours! Oh dear, imagine if that were true.

PS: in regards to our previous discussion of Digg, there are some bleeding awful comments being added to that thread, including "What a load of bullsh*t. If you get a college education and have a steay job, you can get your green card eventually, Going to college is not "extraordianry abilities."

Didn't read the post, didn't give two hoots to understand what the author was trying to say, didn't bother to use correct punctuation or spelling and confused marriage-based immigration with employment-based immigration. Also, assumed that having a college degree is all you need in order to get residency (?)

Aaah!

A family member (not a close one mind you) walked up to me at my wedding and congratulated me on becoming a US citizen.
