>But isn't your wife married to a citizen of Cyprus (you *G*)? Entirely different scenario. She is there legally and doesn't have to work (as far as your government is concerned, correct?). I used Dragan as an example because one law will pertain to ALL.

>>>This is exactly what most of those I know (who voice their opinions) agree with. However, that would required tracking who enters and exits the country (you can cross the border here very easily without anyone knowing it) and that seems to be the major contention which I do not understand. Your recommendation is exactly what many recommend - a guest worker program. All we need to do is verify who they are and make sure that if they break the law that they are punished and deported (for serious offenses). All others - just pay taxes and be accounted for! We also need to ensure that everyone here is required to have a drivers license and we give them one after passing the written and behind the wheel test. Deport them for driving without a license and insurance. It can be a license such as the international drivers license which many Americans get before travelling to Europe. They will drive regardless and I for one would rather they know what they are
>>doing
>>> and have insurance!
>>>
>>>However, lets look at it from our own personal perspective - since Dragan is here without an official job (correct? Dragan correct me if I am wrong), wouldn't that mean he would be deported (none of us want that)? Do we make exceptions - that would be unfair. I guess it would not pertain to him since I am assuming his wife is working legally...

>>Well that (about 3 months) was a bit harsh from my side
