Madam Speaker. I want to speak today about how to come to America. Millions of people apply for visas every year. and 90 percent of the people that legally come to this country do so through an immediate family member. If someone has a mother. father. brother. sister or spouse in the United States. they may apply for immigrant visas. They go to the United States consulate. fill out the appropriate paperwork. and then they wait. and continue to wait. It is a long process even when they are fully eligible. According to the State Department. unmarried sons and daughters of U.S. citizens that are in Mexico or some other foreign country that applied in 1983 are just now being considered for immigration status. Twenty years is too long to make people wait to enter the United States legally. So while thousands of immigrants patiently wait. millions are sneaking in illegally and exploiting and disregarding American laws every day. Madam Speaker. I would like to bring to your attention the illegal way to come to America. An illegal can walk to the local Mexican flea market. purchase a combination of fake documents. For $100 or $200. an illegal can purchase a fake green card as well as a fake Social Security card with the number picked at random. They can borrow someone elses Social Security number. and the next step is crossing the border. This does not seem to be too difficult. especially since the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Relations has made available to Mexican migrants that want to come to the United States this extensive book on how to come to America. even illegally. The cover of this book. Guide for the Mexican Migrant. Throughout this book it shows possible scenarios that could occur to the migrant. First of all. it shows how to cross the border. You run across.
