Because it is not understood and therefore overlooked. It is what sets legal and illegal apart in most cases.

Bottom line.

You said "I notice quite a bit of intolerance with issues like 'illegal immigration'."

Of course there is intolerance with illegal immigration because it is ILLEGAL! The vast majority of us are here because we are working hard to LEGALLY bring our loved one here.

There are plenty of other sites dedicated to criminals who would look for ways to break immigration laws.

BTW, I think the moderators do a great job on this board.

Well, I wouldn't expect a legitimate immigration discussion community to foster illegal notions.

Does having gone down one legal path, though, mean the other legal paths are less desirable?

There is just one 'path'. The immigration law of the USA. Any attempt to bend the law can have bad consequences.

Ok.

If you saw a post here where you felt someone was bending that law, what would be your reaction to that post?

Bottom line.

Do I understand what intent means ? Can you tell by my bringing it to the table ? What is not to understand, it is a simple concept.

Do members understand it ? You have to ask them. Some do some don't. Some prefer to get into long discussions and ignore intent, hidden agenda

and motivation.

Some applicants have to learn the hard way what intent means.

I would inform this person that bending the law can have serious consequences, going that far, that even the US citizenship can be revoked based on non-compliance with immigration laws.

Of course I can't dictate someone what to do. Basically that is all you can do on here. If people like to gamble with their future. Why not? It is their life!

Hey, we're just having a conversation here, ok? Nothing personal.

I'm more interested in the overall 'mood' of the world here. The members. I almost get the impression everybody thinks the only way to live here legally is to file a family based petition from overseas.

Would you wonder (before you answered them) if you had a full grasp of the law?

I've been reading boards for years and I still learn new things all the time. And I see new things too as we travel around and speak to people of different cultures.

That has a lot to do with the fact that family-based petitions is precisely what this site addresses.

So they end up thinking that's the only way to go?

Do you ever wonder if you are offending people? You don't know me. So don't tell me what I know and what I don't know!

I don't read boards only. I read also the actual immigration law. And for certain things there are certain ways which are described in the immigration law!

I don't know what you are trying to do. Do you try to promote half-legal ways?

You can do and you can 'help' people the way you like. But keep in mind that if you give out information that is not covered by the immigration law you are gambling with your or their future.

Hey man, it's just a question, ok?
