1,2,3 Citizenship?

Yeah...I'm curious too. Do you really think it is that easy to obtain citizenship. Secondly, why don't we stop and think about why we have so many latino immigrants risking their lives to get to the U.S. Could it have anything to do with U.S. policy toward Latin America? How long have we and, before us, our European ancestors plundered Central and South America? Then we had colonization and imperialism.
Today we have "Fair" Trade Agreements. I'm sorry, but with the role that the U.S. has had in devestating those economies, we have absolutely no room to complain about immigrants.

Why not, if I could sneak over and work in the England for 6 months of the year, then duck the taxes. I load up on cheap vinyl and travel the rest of year.

Maybe thats how it was in the past, however China recently moved into Chile and have been working on Central America and South America... they have owned the Panama Canal for some time as well. China is deliberetely and will have a major role in devastating our economy sooner than we'd like. And why are there no Canadians risking there lives to get into America? Usually by this time you would be blaming your own government.
