That is hardly true. I just went through the immigration process - during that I experienced nothing that made me wish I had come here illegally.
Sure it took a while, but 'the system' was always helpful. From the very first moment I contacted the US embassy, through my many frequent visits here (which quickly attracted the attention of the homeland security officers in the airport) everyone were kind and understanding and always pointed me in the right direction.
Frankly - anyone who complains about it being difficult needs to pull their head out of their *** and ask themselves if they really have a reason to come here. For me the reason was for my wife, and I can certainly understand Lambeau for pursuing this, even if it does not work out in the end.
Eric, I can understand people thinking of the government as cruel and unforgiving to anyone not born on the right side of the border since that all we see in the media, but the fact is that the US is still very much a country who welcomes immigrants with open arms. If you want to see messed up immigration systems you should be looking to the 'civilized' countries in europe instead. Makes the US system look like a revolving door.
