Another fine mess

The Washington Post has more of the mess the Bush administration has created regarding immigrants who want to get green cards legally.
"They have really messed this up," she said. "The Department of Homeland Security is not known for overarching efficiency, but this is a new low."
Businesses are also unhappy. Many depend on the highly educated foreigners. Google and Microsoft have lobbied Congress on behalf of just such skilled workers.
Elizabeth Stern is a corporate attorney with Baker & McKenzie, a firm that counts many financial service and IT companies among its clients. She said she has heard from corporate clients who are fed up with U.S. policies.
" 'This is just not worth it,' they say. 'I'll just move to England,' " Stern said.

While Homeland Security throws up roadblocks for those who want to do things legally. Hundreds of illegal immigrants stand on street corners in our communities and Homeland Security just looks the other way. -
