| That is not true, by standard if you are a legal immigrant, you are entitled to social services and get the help you need. This can be seen most recently by the Afghanistan refugees resettling in the USA. Guaranteed food, guaranteed shelter, guaranteed medicare, guaranteed access to education. Expedited identity services. In any state, or province, you can look it up and see what services are available to legal immigrants. The issue I stated above, and in other replies is that many Central and South Americans are here illegally, and that is why they fall into these types of traps and are continually stuck. There are more ways to access USA legally and green card is one of them. The most common one that I did not say was marriage and then the spouse that immigrated can sponsor their family. While you write quite happy and positive, I urge you to not drink this sort of kool-aid. While immigration to the USA is not perfect, there are services that help legal and in many cities/states they even ASSIST illegal aliens by allowing them to have identity cards, not enforcing laws, dropping cases, adding several languages to their social services, offering interpreter services, having guaranteed defense help for lawsuits (tenant rights) and the right to an attorney (public defender.) I also suggest you review this, many immigrants and Americans don't. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/guides/M-... |
