So
far, the politicians have only vented about reforming illegal immigration. What about a comprehensive legal immigration reform to make the system more family-oriented to support America’s highly trumpeted family-value’s doctrine! For instance, reduce the number of years from 5
to 3 or less that Permanent Residents have to wait before sponsoring a spouse
or apply for citizenship. My first beneficiary waited 3 painful long years while I fiercely fought the bureaucracy to bring her to America. The process dragged on for a year and
then came 9/11 which “changed everything” at least according to my elected
representatives though nothing was changed. As expected, my spouse blamed me for not taking
the “relationship seriously” and moved on. The current system is old,
fundamentally skewed, and anti-family. We need a comprehensive legal immigration

My first democratic election vote
http://bit.ly/1R5PzXi. I first voted in a democratic and free election in 2008 American presidential election. I was born and raised in Cameroon during the Ahidjo dictatorship and migrated to America at age 21. In 2008, President Obama inherited an economy that was losing 500,000-800,000 jobs per month with and a ten percent Unemployment rate and a steadily decimating auto industry. Gas prices were near $4 per gallon coupled with massive housing crises caused by a precipitous collapse of financial markets. Millions of Americans ultimately lost over $2 trillion in retirement benefits. I lost $50,000. Fifty or more Americans were being killed or seriously wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan each month. They was a general discontent throughout the country as America faced one of its worst recessions since reconstruction. China was rising and America’s role in the world was in doubt. Whether you agree with President Obama or not and irrespective of your political persuasion; what a difference 7 years make.
