Is this an actual immigration path that still remains open? I find it hard to believe.
- varjag 2y agoNo not really. Maybe in Ellis Island days. Most born Americans certainly have no fainest clue how hard it is to legally immigrate to the USA already.
- the_real_cher 2y agothere's a lot of businesses simply built around hacking the US immigration system. the people most likely to immigrate aren't the smartest but the people with the most money who can pay to hack the system
- varjag 2y agoThere really isn't much "hacking" going on, it's mostly fraud. Fictional marriages, fake jobs and so on. I was talking about legal ways.
- pacerier 2y agoActually it is incredibly easy. But keyword is not "productivity", it is "family". Who knew.. that the racist plan to ensure the population stays white actually had the reverse effect.. 2024 and nothing's still being done about it because That's racist doh!
- varjag 2y agoFamily reunification with your uncle is impossible. You literally just proved my point.
- pacerier 2y agoYou can't do it with an uncle and that does not make it hard. It is in fact incredibly easy.
- varjag 2y agoFor someone who has no immediate family in the USA (i.e. most people of the world) the reunification venue is closed. I'm not sure what you're trying to argue here.
- pacerier 2y agoBut for someone who has, the door is wide wide wide open.
- varjag 2y agoYes and if you have 10 million dollars you have options for wealth immigration, the door is wide wide open. Do you think that makes immigration to the USA incredibly easy?
- pacerier 2y agowealth immigration is the productivity path not family path
- ryandrake 2y agoOK, so it being easy for a subset of people doesn't mean it's "easy" in general.
- pavlov 2y agoIt’s a patchwork. The latest policy to allow undocumented immigrant children to stay is from 2012 and still in effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deferred_Action_for_Childhood_Arrivals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deferred_Action_for_Childhood_...
