Then later on we had to send in another inch worth of shit. We did get approved though.

I think when people complain, its less about the people going through the immigration channels (my parents did this back in 1978), and more about the people that apply for refugee staus, or the families that get in, and then bring over extended family, grandparents etc. When I was in high school, my friends mom worked on the immigration board, and she used to get drunk on scotch and let me read some of the case files. She was liberal, and used to call me her son's "Tory Bastard Friend" The people that she said were legit, for refugee status, I had doubts about.
