I have many friends here who are going the legal route. Most are from European countries though. They were very excited about the immigration bill until they found out the only illegal immigrants who would benefit from it are Mexicans. The bill states that it concerns immigrants from a country within 100 miles from the U.S. mainland border. I guess Canada qualifies... :o)
