This is an unpopular position, but nevertheless it is the truth: No one has the right to emigrate to the United States. No one. No other country is criticized so heavily for having stringent immigration policies, this despite the fact that the US immigration policies are some of the loosest in the world.

I don't think that this was being argued. Being denied a Green card is fine, but doing so on the basis of an obviously tampered form doesn't seem fair.

"No one has the right to emigrate to the United States. No one."

This is besides the point entirely.

If the US is a great nation, then they can figure out out to deal with such errors, which will happen frequently.

It should be embarrassing for the nation that put 'a man on the moon' to not be able to figure out 'paperwork'.

This is about process, not immigration.

Loose in what sense? Deporting someone because their employer lied on a form seems like a misfired punishment.

Deporting the employer would be fairer.

No they are not. They are absurdly restrictive and even kafkaeske.
