Because of the same reasons the Pilgrims migrated to the US hundreds of years ago. Check out US history and youll see its a country of immigrants.\n\nThere are many reasons why people migrate to the USA, there are better job oportunities,  social, political and religious freedom.\n\nThings that you might take for granted, like running water and electricity, are almost luxuries in some countries.\n\nIt might surprise you but not everyone who migrates really wants to. Some are forced to do it  because of their economical situation.\nI know a lot of people who live in the US and are dying to retire to go back to their countries, they think people there are way too slutty.

Because that is their rules and we have ours. If you don't like the rules perhaps you should run in public office. It is smart for a Country to restrict other people from coming in to take jobs. In order to move to Florida, many years ago, we had been hired for a job and were  able to prove the any senior living there was fuly self-sufficient and not going to be a burden on their country. That is smart in my opinion.

USA has a strong immigration system. Ironically, a certain number of illegal immigrants is required to sustain the U.S economy. There are certain segments where it is very difficult or expensive to find local workers like farming, cleaning and construction work.\n\nYes you are right some of the immigration policies are obsolete and needs to be revised.  For example the U.S government is running a visa lottery program intended to benefit the countries who have immigration less than the annual per country limit. This lottery program is a little absurd because there is no hard rules even a very low qualified person can get a green card because he has won in the draw. Instead of this the Government can revise to introduce a point system where points are awarded based upon the qualification and expertise needed in the U.S. If one scores the minimum points required, he can file for immigration.  In this way, U.S will get only those persons who are required or are in shortage in U.S.  Many countries like U.K. Canada, Newzealand and Australia are running such programs.

It's never been convenient, and since 9/11 it's been really bad. One reason, is that of course people who want to immigrate can't vote yet, so there's no pressure on the INS to be nicer to them.

Getting a passport into this country is hard and becoming a US citizen is even harder. Because I'm not an illegal imigrant, I'm just saying what I've read and what I understand. They do it because the cost of getting a passport is too much for them to afford. Most of them need a good jop and they need money for their families. It isn't hard to understand

If a person wants to immigrate to any country, he/she should do it legally.  Thousands of others can play by the rules so everyone should.  Otherwise, the person who is in a country illegally is a criminal and stealing a job, housing, other benefits from someone WHO should be given these opportunities.

US is one of the few countries that allows dual citizenship which is a crock of s@#!

I think you mean the greencard lottery, which isn't really considered a visa.  There are foreigners from all over the world that want to live in the US for whatever reason.  The INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) is not able to grant all these applications for residency.  The only fair way to ensure everyone has a chance, regardless of wealth or nationality, is to hold an impartial lottery.

It is very difficult. The main ways one can immigrate to the US are 1) marriage 2) family (parents, brothers/sisters) 3) work ( must have a bachelor's degree minimum, some experience) 4) Green Card Lottery (50,000 residence visas are given at random from 3 million applicants)\n\nAll of the above ways are quite difficult and involve lots of paperwork, money and very long wait time. Don't listen to people who tell you that it's as simple as going and applying for a visa (they don't know what they are talking about)...\n\nOnce you have your permanent residency you can apply for citizenship after a 5 year wait ( 3 years if you marry a US citizen. Marriage to a US citizen remains the easiest way to immigrate to the US. The green card lottery is also quite easy but you must be very lucky !\n\nUS is certanly a good country to be in but don't be fooled there are many countries in the world that provide a much higher standard of living...

International rules aren't that strict. It's often determined by which country you are a citizen of, not where you are born. There are even some exceptions to that, however.

because we have some really good schools here.  Some countries that they come from wont get the same education that they will get in our country.  They want to make something of themselves just as we do its just they have to go to america or Europe to do so.

The US has been extremely open and generous to inmigrants, to the extent of going out of the way to help out inmigrants. Where else in the world can an inmigrant take a driver's licence test in his/her native language? That is also applied to inmigration forms, education... I could go on. The US has every right to enforce inmigration laws, just the same way any other country does. That I know on a first-hand basis because I've lived abroad, and have abided by other countries' inmigration laws- whose paperwork, by the way, can be a  very, very long process!

Because they have procedures they follow. Just think how many people are trying to come here. \nMy husband got his visa to come here from Egypt in about 2 months, but I know some people living here with kids that are waiting for years.

Because there are laws and regulations and background checks that need to be done. I think you need to show that you are an asset to the community, that you are NOT a felon or wanted criminal in your own country.\n\nMoney and influence have nothing to do with it. That's one reason everyone wants to come here...we treat them like humans.

Im pretty sure that the US will not stop you, the question is, will the other country issue you a visa to enter?  In a lot of cases, probably not.  Countries are generally more than happy to let Cons leave, they arent so willing to let them come in.

there are certain legalities to working and living in the United States.  It's not about keeping families apart, it's about doing it properly so that families can be together and live in the USA.
