Fair enough - trust me, I like having more money in my pocket as much as the next guy.Originally Posted by Teufelhund
We are lucky to have you, but I still believe your path should have been easier and less costly.
Let me ask you this though, if $5,000 is too much to pay to live for the rest of your life in the greatest country on earth, what would be a fair price?
Good question. Knowing what I have, I would gladly pay that amount and more. I don't think it's always a question of what someone is willing to do as it is what they are capable of doing. If someone is penniless coming here, should they be denied the opportunities you and I have?

I don't think many of us can conceive of the life conditions that would drive someone to undertake the chances to cross the border that these poor people do. I've seen folks living in houses made of sticks in villages in Honduras with poor sanitation and unsafe water. Hell yeah I'd sneak across the border to take a chance on my kids living to grow up, and to have something better than that kind of existence.
There HAS to be a cost associated. We can't just let people come over willy-nilly for nothing. People have jobs who have to get paid to do the paperwork, do the tests, check backgrounds etc etc. As I said in my previous post, I am all for people coming over the right way, but I also don't believe my tax dollars need to be used to pay for hundreds of thousands if not millions of applications to be gone through.
I have to pay to use the legal system, even for small claims. They want to come over for citizenship, it is going to cost them.
