It just baffles me that the United States goverment is so hardheaded on this issue. My distant cousin Stuart had this same exact problem. The only difference was, he was trying to bring a young man into the country. They were so happy together, you should have seen them together. Giggling like school girls and finishing eachothers sentences.There are qualified health care and technology experts who want to come and work and live in America legally, yet we shut the door on them. But would they Dream of actually doing something about the 750,000 illegally living in the Washintgon DC area, cranking out kids like the were Pez??? Of course not.
