That is what exactly happened to me. I admit I was somewhat flippant with that comparison, It was somewhat inappropriate. The point I was making was the treatment many legitimate immigrants face when attempting to become naturalized citizens. The government put up higher barriers and has stiffer requirements for legal immigrants than for native born Americans. I would love to see the percentage of citizen who would actually pass the citizenship test. larry At 07:42 AM 7/7/2003 -0400, Heald, Tim wrote: >Even as a joke this disgusts me. > >Tim > > >-----Original Message----- >From: Larry C.
