And if you bothered to peruse some of the forums frequented by people who entered and reside in the country legally you would have a chance to develop better understanding of flu’s friend’s reasoning.
[/quote]I don’t need to peruse those forums.
I have a Chinese friend who went to a top university and graduated with an MBA 10 years ago.
From her, I hear the trial and tribulations of H1B holders. My friend now has advance parole and is able to travel whereas before she could not leave the country.
For some time, she was laid-off and had to temporarily change back to graduate student status. On the advice of her lawyer, she did not collect unemployment benefits during that period although she was entitled to it (as this could compromise her grad student status).
She’s still waiting for her green-card. And she’s pissed off about all the hoops she had to jump through, not to mention having to pay attorneys’ fees.
This woman is smart and hard-driving. She has no compassion for Latino immigrants whom she calls lazy, dirty and undeserving.
But you know what? She has a good job, a good salary, a nice place to live, and eventually she’ll get her green card. Unauthorized immigrants who live in the shadows have none of that. I tell my friend that a little compassion would do her some good.
The difference between Americans and others is that we have compassion. If you travel to China you will see that people who’ve made it to middle-class or above, treat the poor people like crap. They would make their maids hand wash their laundry when the machine is sitting the corner, unused.

Participant[quote=meadandale][quote=TenaciousSD]This just in: GOP blocked the repeal of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ and killed the Dream Act.
“The Senate vote, 56-43, falls short of the 60 needed to begin debate on a bill that includes the policy on gays in the military. The vote also holds up the Dream Act, a route to citizenship for those who have attended college or served in the military.”
This just in: The Democrats have 60 votes in the Senate…enough to pass ANYTHING without the GOP. Maybe you should focus on the 4 Democrats that voted no.[/quote]
Total Members in Congress: 100
Democratic Caucus: 59 members (two of which are Independent)
Republican Conference: 41 members(Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate)
