[speaker001:] Okay. What do you think about it?
[speaker002:] Uh, well, immigration, I know they're really strict right now because my hundr-, husband is from out of the country and, uh, we had to go through a whole, very long process to, uh, to, assure the government that he was, uh, marrying me
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and not to be a resident here.
[speaker001:] That's interest-, yeah, I think that's, uh, I think it's a little crazy. I worked with Spanish people
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] for about two years and just, it was incredible to me to see the things that they had to go through when they were really some of the best workers.
[speaker002:] Yeah, that's true. I mean, you can't just come over to the country because, uh, you want to.
[speaker001:] Right.
[speaker002:] You know, that's not good enough. You have to have a, have to have a darn good reason of, political or whatever.
[speaker001:] Right, exactly.
[speaker002:] Not a good, not a good easy way to get in.
[speaker001:] Yeah, I think, you know, I think in a lot of ways the law is good because it tries to, to protect, you know, the people who are in the states.
[speaker002:] Exactly. My mother, uh, actually knew a woman [breathing] in another state that used to marry men
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] just, n-, she'd never even meet them and she'd just get money for it.
[speaker001:] Oh, you're kidding.
[speaker002:] Huh-uh. So, uh,-
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] [Breathing].
[speaker001:] Sounds like a lot of fun. Yeah, it's amazing to me how, how many things they would allow to occur before, you know, you can come in.
[speaker002:] Exactly. But, I mean, with the new laws, it's
[speaker001:] Right.
[speaker002:] it's tough now.
[speaker001:] Yeah, it's kind of frustrating, too, for those who are legitimate now.
[speaker002:] Exactly.
[speaker001:] You know, I think,
[speaker002:] Well, and, you know, uh, my grandparents came to this country just wanting a better life, you know
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and they got here, but now it's a, you know, it's so strict that you can't just do [door] that.
[speaker001:] Right, exactly. And I think it's important that they, you know, they allow a good number of people in every year because really they're the ones who work the hardest and do the jobs that, that we don't want to do.
[speaker002:] I agree.
[speaker001:] And I just, I don't know, I have, personally I have a problem with it, I think, that, you know, if someone wants to come in and they can prove that they're going to work and they're going to be a good citizen that
[speaker002:] Exactly.
[speaker001:] we shouldn't close our door.
[speaker002:] If they're not going to be on welfare or, or, or whatever. They're going to be a productive citizen Zen.
[speaker001:] And, you know, I, I believe that if someone goes on welfare that's when, you, you know, send them back to their country.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] And, I think a lot of times we're so busy trying to keep them out that we're spending twice as much money as we would just allowing them in and,
[speaker002:] Well, think of how many illegal aliens have, have, have been, uh, uh, sent back to Mexico just to find their way back.
[speaker001:] Yeah, and that's, that's what I think. You know, I, I have to laugh because, like I said, I worked with a lot of those and they'd been deported two or three times and just basically what they do is they get caught when they wanted to go home for Christmas.
[speaker002:] That's right, that's our money.
[speaker001:] Or for any other time.
[speaker002:] Yes, [breathing] that's true.
[speaker001:] But, I think, you know, I think all in all there's a lot of improvements. I think the general idea is good but, but there could be some work done in the area.
[speaker002:] I, I think I, I agree.
[speaker001:] Well good [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Anyway, do you have anything else in the, the subject, uh
[speaker002:] Uh, I, uh, boy
[speaker001:] that you might want to talk about?
[speaker002:] this is spur of the moment, uh, but, I, I don't really see any, any changes that I think of really blatant right now other than I think they ought to take, you know, on a case by case basis and not necessarily make it a, uh, political refugee.
[speaker001:] Yeah, absolutely. I think a lot of times we take, you know, basically who we want to because if you, if you have connections, it's a lot easier to get in.
[speaker002:] Exactly. Connections and money.
[speaker001:] Yeah, and I think, you know, it should be more of a thing that's based upon someone's intent, you know.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] And that it should be equal to all and then not like the United States, basically, it's not who you know, it d-, it doesn't become a thing of who you know, but, but how the type of person you are.
[speaker002:] I agree.
[speaker001:] And it should be based on those kinds of things so the good people, like probably your husband, can get in [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Yeah [LAUGHTER]. Well, we got him past that, but, uh, [LAUGHTER]
[speaker001:] Well, great.
[speaker002:] I know there's a lot of other people out there,
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] would probably do a good job here.
[speaker001:] Yep. Well, let's see, is there anything I believe in [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] I think that's it. Is this like a very short call? [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] No, I'm not sure how long they're supposed to be, but, I've enjoyed it. It's good hearing your, your point of view and I think that's neat. I think we agree a lot on that and
[speaker002:] I did, too.
[speaker001:] I've learned something from it.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] Well, it was nice talking to you.
[speaker001:] Well, thanks, I'm glad you're home. You have a good evening, all right?
[speaker002:] You, too.
[speaker001:] Thanks, bye-bye.
[speaker002:] Bye.
