completely agree with you, cat. we used to be a nation of laws, and we took pride in the fact that we followed our laws and expected others to do the same. corruption didn't happen here like it did in so many other countries.

"Five different Homeland Security whistleblowers spoke with ABC News about a range of cases where visas were approved despite numerous red flags. They said objections were often ignored because the immigration program is so popular within the Obama Administration and with members of Congress from both parties. Known as the EB-5 visa program, foreigners who are willing to invest $500,000 in an American business can jump to the front of the line and obtain legal status to live in the U.S. for two years. If the investment is shown to create at least 10 jobs, the investors can receive a “Green Card†-- permanent residency."
