I had blogged about "Legal Immigrants, subprime mortgage crisis" a while back. It is sad to see the financial situation worsening for Americans [Homes facing foreclosure more than doubled in 1Q from 2007].
Wonder why lawmakers cannot come to grips with the simple idea that granting visas to spouses of Legal Permanent Residents (who are eventually going to enter the US anyways) going to help the economy?!
Taxpaying Legal Permanent residents would gladly invest in the economy by buying houses ('American Dream') if only their spouses and nuclear families were allowed into the US immediately instead of having to wait for 5+ years!
