"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

New York apparently isn't circling the drain fast enough
On the one hand I'm all for an immigration system much simpler than any western country has at the moment, one that recognises that the US, the UK, Australia, and many other successful democracies were built on successive waves of immigration.
On the other hand, what the hell? Some people have waited years, even decades, to get their green card, and been cheated in the process - and they're being given second preference to freeloaders who are lucky enough to do their freeloading in a left-wing state?
Deborah.... Tim, the immigrants didn't sneak in or, more recently, arrive brazenly demanding everything be given to them. They were proud to be Americans, and understood the national language is english.
How does Mrs. P feel about that?
