    In a way, yes. I understand and empathize with people who cross the border illegally. In order to prevent bloodshed between citizens and immigrants, we have orderly
    transitions and immigration policy. I am in favor of relaxing the restrictions of who and how many can come here, somewhat.

    The USA restrictions are pretty tough. I have a Brazilian friend (female) who is engaged to an American (white) and they visit each other often and regularly. He works as a Firefighter and she is a talented Artist who earns 52,000+ easily per year (52k was based on side projects I know prices of..). So she has a big bunch of savings built up and her art is international, and always in supply (and got demand), the reason is her fiancée, and if she got her Green Card they were moving in together.

    So job, house, money, everything is all in working order with a good logical reason to move there. They first met as he is interested in art and a novice artist himself, he came to view some work which she did, they exchanged emails, got talking, ended up falling for eachother and all that lot. Spent long periods of time together, still madly in love and stuff...

    and yup, the Border Control rejected her application.

    Seemed so illogical.
