Immigration Overhaul

Submitted by Robert G Greaves, Sep 5, 2007 13:42

Economic conditions are bad over most of Latin America. A case can be made for a plan like the "Marshall Plan" for all of Latin America. It would take time to turn the economies around and would cost a lot. I believe it would be worth it in the long run. We have a "foster" daughter in Ecuador, a twenty year relationship. She has three bachelors degrees in accounting and related fields and can't even get a visa to come and visit us. She is poor, which seems to be her major sin, but she is rich in accomplishment and education. The US Consul does not treat people like this fairly. They make it seem that if they furnish one more filled out form with the visa application it will be granted, but then it is again denied. To see the story of Zandra, our "foster" daughter, visit the following web sites. web.mac.com/bobgreaves/iWeb/Site/Zandra.html http://www.wbay.com/Global/story.asp?S=4390884 http://www.zoominfo.com/Search/PersonDetail.aspx?PersonID=918084046 http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070822/GPG07/708220659/1273/GPGlife Bob Greaves
