Look I just want to say that I am very surprized how some people think that they are some sort of special case and should not have to follow the basic immigrant laws of the USA or any other country they may want to visit. If you visit America or most any other country for less than 30 days there is no Visa required, but if you plan to say any longer there is usually some hidden agenda like work, or family ties in which people want to stay once they are in that country, or even something more sinister. These rules are no different from most countries. Some vary in the length of time in which you must have a Visa, but all are pretty much the same. A lot of European countries have the same illegal immigration problems that the USA does, but not to the tune of 11 million illegals. If this were an arguement in most any other countries people would just be put into jail for violating their laws, but with 11 million there is little chance that the USA is going to place that number of people into jail or even spend the money to deport them because it would likely bankrupt the Gov. For those of you who are immigrants in the USA check the laws in your own country and you will likely see that they are very similar, and in a lot of cases even more strict. SO how in the world can you come to the US and demand special treatment and expect that you are going to recieve it? That is just ignorant. Meaning that you obviously did not review these laws before you came to the USA. Maybe you should read them, and follow them, or take your chances like so many others, but when you end up in jail or deported you will have no one to blame but yourself for ignoring them and not knowing what your rights are as a visitor or resident aliean to our country.
