They would take just as long becuase they would downsize. Illegals aren't the reason for the processing times.

And you know this for sure yes?

there's really not a relationship between the bureaucratic amazing processing speed of USCIS and how many illegals can live in a 1bedroom apartment.. unlesss illegals are unkowingly being employed at the USCIS office, and they can't read english to process the english paperwork.. then.. yea I can foresee problems

At a guess I would imagine because illegals aren't filing visa paperwork with the service centers and is separate from other parts of the USCIS/Homeland Security.

Uh yeah! They are illegal hence they aren't going through the process so they can't mess with the processing times. What about someone sneaking across the border changes my processing time?

It's worth pointing out that the undocumented are a strain on ICE. But ICE does not adjudicate petititions or process visa applications. ICE even has its own budget.

Of course, it could be pointed out that did the strain due to undocumenteds not exist on ICE, ICE's budget could be slashed and moved over to the service centers and district offices. Unfortunately, that's not how our government is set up to operate.

As soon as President Obama and his Democratic Congress dole out their blanket illegal alien amnesty it sure will! Numbnuts promised La Raza it was at the top of his list.

You'll have 12 to 20 million + gumming up the system for the "legal" folks.

Another reason I'm glad my wife's visajourney is over (she's a US citizen now).

So what about the ones that's in America just now married illegally? Came over on the K1 just to get a green card.

Um, that's called Visa Fraud. Completely different than just being illegal.

And, your point is? What does that have to do with the price of eggs in China? Last time I checked the article wasn't talking about Visa Fraud. It's talking about illegal aliens, the ones here with no documentation or expired documentation.

That's hilarious, are you saying that illegal immigrants are the main reason for most of the crimes that happen in the US??

Hmmm... I don't think it can be denied that there is a criminal element among the illegal immigrant population. As to what extent crimes committed by illegal immigrant affect the national crime rate - I suppose that's an open question...

Just like there is a criminal element among the rest of the US (native-born or legalized).

Well yes - that's a given. But I don't think we should be in the practice of relativizing these things.

Shouldn't we? The way I read in Mono28's sarcastic comment, was that illegal immigrants are not the main reason for most of the crimes happening in the US.(I agree with her by the way.) Your statement mentioned the existence of a criminal element among the illegal immigrant population, but did not mention the very same among the rest of the population.

I think the open question you pose cannot be comprehensively answered unless there is a parallel study to show how the crime of the legal and native-born Americans affects the national crime rate.

While it isn't fair to make judgements about individuals - it is accurate to suggest that large groups of people coming into the country avoiding the process of immigration background screening are doing so either because they can't afford to do it the legal way, or because they wouldn't be eligible for a visa in the first place. That this may be because of past criminal histories can't be ignored.

I agree, but believe that the %-age of those who are without papers because of w/ past criminal histories is small enough to not make a difference in the the national crime rate.
