Don't take it personal, my post was not about you as in "Oliver Costich" I was talking about tsome of your fellow country man/women that post direct personal attacks on people asking the questions. Similarly what you do with me. I am not a person to you -- I am one of "them" -- an immigrant. For example, you suggested me leaving early if I feel insulted. What's that all about? You don't know what I am doing here and why I am here. I am just one of them and all you have to say to me is "leave."

Whatever issues you have about taxes, immigrants being a burden and all that is a different topic and we might know more about it than you think. It might be a better venue for you to raise these issues with your government representatives. I am all for US revising its imigration rules.

I just don't think it's very nice of you (again you as in some members of this forum) to post answers that are directed to hurt people. As you were so eager to defend Graphic Queen it showed me that you agree with her approach. Otherwice, you would have suggested her to change her way of talking to people here.

Where was I winning? I am not even trying to immigrate..

Take it easy.

Yeah I have the impression that she would not oppose any immigration at
all if a) the southern land border was protected properly with no
"illegals" let in, b) terrorists did not obtain tourist visas, c) legal
immigrants consisted of a modest flow of highly-skilled, well-monitored
and willing-to-adapt people and d) the fit-to-work but lazy -including
such immigrants- were not enabled to live on taxpayers money.

One might disagree on her generalizations, or the attributes she assigns
to Mexicans (e.g. I don't agree to the statement that those who drive at
85mph on the Interstate are "usually illegals". Many Americans want
higher limits, exceed existing ones and refer to the German Autobahn).

But this is still nothing compared to rampant anti-Americanism
encountered here in Europe quite too often. For too many ignorant
people, the U.S. is the root of all evil. If I were American, this would
very well upset me.

Her son, not being 18 years old yet, cannot give her Resident Status.
That is for sure.

However, there are provisions in the current Immigration Law to allow
spouses of US citizens to gain Resident Status in case of abuse.

This link should help you:

However, I strongly recommend her to contact an Immigration Attorney
in the US.

Good luck!
