The irony was not lost on me, being another resident of California. I've even had Mexican friends of mine offer to smuggle my friend in, once she gets to Mexico! Of course, that was before the Minutemen, but even so, it's plain that only for people trying to do things legally are there endless roadblocks. The Filipino lawyer that we want to hire posted another of his "success stories" on his website yesterday. He got a visa restored for a Filipino singer who had been convicted of smuggling other immigrants and her father was convicted of trafficking in fake visas and other documents. THESE people, and all their relatives no doubt, are happily back in the good ol' USA while my friend rots in Manila, unable to get an education and a future because she didn't have the money or the lawyer to "fix" things.
