What a pile of Bushit
Magda and I were looking at what her visa means (like how long can she be here, can she leave and come back, etc), and I saw this on the main page of United States Visas.
A Message from
President Bush:
“America is not a fortress; no, we never want to be a fortress. We’re a free country; we’re an open society. And we must always protect the rights of our law — of law-abiding citizens from around the world who come here to conduct business or to study or to spend time with their family.”
– 14 May 2002, President Bush Signs Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act
This is one of the biggest LIES I have ever heard/seen/known of. I mean, I WAS IN THE ROOM when the guy at the embassy told Magda that they had to assume that EVERY person who applied for a visa had to be suspected of trying to illegally emigrate. I gotta send a letter to my senators, and to my two former senators about this. I’M SO PISSED.
But it’s not like he tells the truth or anything. I mean, he can’t even talk. Look at the editing job up there. He couldn’t even say “law abiding” without thinking about it. Sheesh.

You know, you are right to some extent. But although your friend is not a bad person you have to remember how free can our bordrs be before we are caught off guard and someone comes in to destroy the freedom everyone comes here for? We as a nation of people that would be free people have to draw a line when it comes to protecting the US

We, right now, should not be worried about people coming in from outside our borders. The government is doing enough to ruin this country fine on its own. And my post was more about how “we’re an open society”, which we’re not when I’m told IN THE EMBASSY that they must assume every person who comes here is looking to illegally emigrate. How on earth is that welcoming people?! I’ve learned, from living overseas, that the US doesn’t care for anyone else but themselves. M, who is from Poland, just realized this as well, when she said to me “We have a pro-US president. We fought in Iraq. Why can’t we come here like most other Europeans? The US doesn’t care about Poland”. And she’s damn right.

I have to say the real danger to our freedom in this country and this is obvious to most with a clue by now is Bysh, Republicans and the government they rule and the corporatios they represent. The patriot act alone compromised our Bill of Rights in more than one way. Those Bill of Rights ar part of our freedom.
