Immigration chief has ambitious plans

MIAMI - The chief of immigration services is pressing ahead with hefty application fee increases despite skepticism among critics about his plans to revolutionize an agency long derided by immigrants as inefficient, unfriendly and beyond hope.

Fee increases, now scheduled to take effect in June, would raise the cost of applying for a green card from $325 to $905 and citizenship from $330 to $595 - generating about $1 billion more a year than the agency now has in its annual budget.

Let’s see. What would someone wanting to come to the US do under present conditions? Pay a fee to apply legally and politely wait my turn. Or simply hightail it across an opening in the border like thousands of others do every day. Hmm. I could always use that money for false documents rather than the fee. That way I can get a job no American will do for this low wage I accept. Later I’ll steal a higher paying job from someone who has been laid off. You know, because employers know it is cheaper and more profitable to hire illegals.

Next I’ll bring my whole family here. It is so great, they will provide health care and retirement benefits for all of us. Then maybe I can get elected to public office and fight attempts to correct immigration problems. It would be silly not to keep this sweet deal going for illegal immigrants. Yes, it is too bad those 50 million Americans without health insurance can’t get free stuff like illegal immigrants. Ah, amnesty and a path to citizenship, what a deal for us. Lucky for us there are all those bleeding heart liberals in America. Why else would everyone want to come to America. I just hope those terrorists don’t screw this up for us. With all the terrorists and other criminals who can come across now, ti is only a matter of time before this golden goose goes away. But that will probably take another terrorist attack before those crazy Americans do anything about it.

The previous statement is fictitious and any resemblance to 15 or 20 million illegal immigrants is purely coincidental. The same applies to the threat of any meaningful national security, border control or immigration enforcement for the elected and appointed officials can’t give it away fast enough. And the illegal immigrants and corrupt employers are only too willing to participate in this fraud.
