Just to clarify, I 100% support LEGAL immigration. This country was built into the world power that it is today by immigrants. I am 100% against illegal immigration and any effort to circumvent the system we have in place, especially any effort to loot the system and be a parasite for the tax dollars of the providers.

I do believe that the current system for legal immigration needs a significant overhaul.... It should not take 5+ years and thousands of dollars to become an American citizen. I have a close friend from Romania who is 6 years into the process and is hoping to finally get his citizenship sometime in 2017. The hoops that he has had to jump through are insane. He's been in the US for almost 10 years now... speaks perfect English... He even has a Pilot's license and IFR cert... But he wants to do it "the right way" (legally) so he is basically being penalized. People who can successfully legally immigrate to the US have already proven their dedication, hard work, and willingness to sacrifice - with NO expectation of handouts. It's no wonder they are usually quite successful.
