Looks like these people didn't get the memo... The doom & gloom prospects (watch US news!) and time/money/stress associated with the Legal Path should easily dissuade those contemplating of settling here.

Asian immigrants to U.S. surpass Hispanics for first time

Quote:
Asians have surpassed Hispanics as the largest group of new immigrants to the United States, according to a new study from the Pew Research Center.

The study, called "The Rise of Asian-Americans" and released on Tuesday, reveals that Asian-Americans also have the highest income, are the best-educated and are the fastest-growing racial group in America.
Quote:
The influx of Asians reflects "a slowdown in illegal immigration while American employers increase their demand for high-skilled workers," the Associated Press said.

"The educational credentials of these recent [Asian] arrivals are striking," the report said. Sixty-one percent of 25-to-64-year-old Asian immigrants come with at least a bachelor's degree--more than double non-Asian immigrants, making the recent Asian arrivals "the most highly educated cohort of immigrants in U.S. history."

The study also found that Asian-Americans are "more satisfied than the general public with their lives, finances and the direction of the country, and they place a greater value on marriage, parenthood, hard work and career success."

Now for those who will try to do it step-by-step the right way (the right way like my short-fused buddy on fb just did)... you will be bloodied, you'll receive some (what's akin to some as) 'battle scars' to prove it. Once you completed this grueling naturalization process you earn my utmost respect!
