My faculty advisor in my department is British. He has lived in the United States for 6 years as a legal resident.  He is still not a citizen.  He has two PhDs.

Now imagine you are a poor Mexican with almost no schooling.  The chances of getting into this country if you are not: 1) Related to a citizen, 2) Highly skilled (working), 3) Hold an advanced degree, are literally nonexistant.

And no they are not a danger to society... If anything they are what keep life here "cheap." Do you think food would be cheap if they were paying some guy $12 an hour and providing him benefits to pick fruit?

How has he been living here for 6 years as a legal resident but is not a citizen?

You're not really this dumb are you?

Must you always start off a conversation in such an uncouth manner? I seriously do not know how citizenship works in America. I thought I made that clear in the first post. Thats why I asked him that question in the first place. Are you gonna call me dumb for not knowing how crayons are made?

So if, by your own admission, you don't know how immigration works in this country then why the seeming incredulity at the idea that someone could be a legal resident for 6 years yet not be a citizen?
