into the US if you said you would start a business here.
I don't know whether that is still true, but I think it is.
I sympathize with those who come here poor and want to make a better life and can't afford to go through the visa process or don't understand it. I don't know why we let people buy there way into the US. The arrogance of it. The exploitation that they come ready to commit. I don't like it.
My ancestors worked very hard when they came to this country, even those who were middle class in Europe. By working hard, I mean hard, physical labor. At least one of my ancestors, a little girl, came as an indentured servant. It was a sad story.
I don't like immigrants who come here to start at the top of the heap and lord it over American citizens who are here and working hard and believe in the American way of work and cooperation and following the rules.
But I do like the immigrants who come here, who make the sacrifices and are willing to be like other Americans and not place themselves above the rest of us. Most immigrants are like that, are like my ancestors. And they deserve to be able to stay in peace whether they entered legally or not. That is my opinion.
I do not like the special visas for high-tech jobs. If the companies paid better for the skills they claim they need, they would have plenty of American applicants.
