This blog is the continuation to the prior blog. On the prior blog was mentioned that there are very few ways to enter the United States legally and that it is not an easy process. Many people has obtain asylum in the United States and the requirements for an asylum are as follow; fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality or political reasons. The person applying for asylum has to be in danger in the place of origin and it must be proven to the United States government.
The people that enter the United States illegally have to remain illegal until the government approves a reform for immigrants and this is always different. It could be for people that have been working in agriculture and they have to fall in a time frame. The immigrants have to show that during their stay they have been good citizens and any problem with the law would disqualify them. Immigrants come to the United States to have a better future and not to take jobs away or commit crimes, they are people that want to make a better living in the land of opportunities and freedom. What we us Americans need to do is to strive for a better education and immigrants would not become a threat to us instead they will help us to be better in our country.
Part two of two.

Thanks for the knowledge, this is pretty interesting stuff, I am particularly interested in the asylum part, I never knew that. So basically what I get from this blog is we the people of the United States need to loosen up our standard for letting immigrants in the country... do you think we should give citiizenship to illegal immigrant who have broken our justice system?
You have proven in your two blogs here that it is certainly difficult to get in the country and then to become a legal system. It also seems that coming over "illegally" isn't *so* illegal as long as those immigrants can start paperwork for asylum status once they are here.
What I read from this is that the law is contradictory and needs updating. After reading your blog, Ben's, and Monique's, I get the feeling that America has a very split personality on immigration; when it suits our interests, we turn a blind eye (even the IRS issues tax numbers to people considered "illegal"), and yet we persecute these very same people for providing about 50% of the labor needed for our food supply (a data point listed on one of Ben's recent blogs).
What we need is a new, respectful and comprehensive policy that acknowledges our ongoing need for immigrants.
