Thats some fed up stuff...

How come i can go to there country to visit for like a month without a visa.. but then if i want my wife fromt he PI to visit me she need a hard to get visa??

Oh why cause there gonna stay here and not want to return..?

Well shoot.. dont punish us the people who follow the law.. If i decide i want to buy a plane ticket to have my wife visit me here in the usa while the cr1 is worked on.. then I spent the money for it.. so be it..

IF the person overstays then gets caught.. then that there fault.. and they should enforce striker punishment on those who immigrate illegally not punish those.. who just want to be with there loved ones and follow the rules and return..

Its like they dont even give us 1 chance..

I dont even know why illegals wanna come here anyway??

It would be impossible to get a job without a ssn.

And maybe.. if the illegals stop trying to come to other people countries illegally there country would be better and wouldnt have so many people trying to come here in the usa.

I seen.. "including my wife" overseas workers in the PI... I told my wife you should of just stayed there and worked in your country. Why do you have to leave your country and work in other countries.. thats why your economies so bad. She told me cause they didnt get paid enough there... YEA>. sooo.. you get paid less.. but also.. you pay less for rent, food, entertainment.

Its like living in the USA... say i make 12$ an hour.. but she only makes 3$ an hour.. but i pay $6 for bread.. while she pays $1.50 for bread...

It doesnt matter.. the country adjusts for what majority of the people make there.. Thats why the minimum wage gets higher as prices increase.

Have you bought a cell phone in the Philippines? How about a TV or computer? All those will cost you more there than they do in the USA. How about gas for your car? Oh wait you can't afford a car because they're out of reach of the average Filipino's income, but you're still partly paying for gas in that jeepney and its about the same or more than in the USA. Been to a dentist in the Philippines? Most can either clean your teeth or pull them, not fix them. Sure life can be cheaper in the Philippines, but its not the same life style either. If you want to live an American lifestyle there, you better have an American income there. Sure some things are cheaper, but other things a lot more.

Ever here the term TNT? Ask your wife what it means, she'll know it. How many places have their own abbreviation and term for going illegal in the USA? Not every Filipino wants to be in the USA, but a high enough percentage of them do that they will even scam being in love with someone to get here. Our government estimates 270,000 or 2.5% of illegal immigrants in the USA are from the Philippines. How much higher of a percentage do you think that would be if just any Filipino could come here?

Okay first off.. yes the cellphones for example iphones are more expensive there.. thats because its a foriegn product.. same as why more for imported products in the usa..

btw there gas prices.. even at shell is like 45 pesos .. ours is like last time i check in california it was like 4.375 a gallon at shell station.

taxis here start at 5$ taxis there start at $1.

Besides there cost of living has to be cheaper cause of the majority wage.. just like our cost of living is higher here in california then.. say nebraska..

but all those colonges and electronics.. those are things you dont have to even get... same as.. i could just buy a kia instead of a mercedes.

The health care is wayyy cheaper there... I got sick in the philipines and had to get a check up and anti biotics.. here int he usa.. it would of cost me with my insurance... $15 plus $30 for generic antibiotics

over there i paid 300 pesos and 5 pesos a piece for generic amoxcillen

Where would you rather get treated, in the US or the Philippines? Does cheaper health care = better or is it just cheaper? How do the doctors there compare to doctors in first world countries? This is all part of the equation.

I call and say im sick with the flu i need a doctors note for work.. they freaking tell me.. they have an opening next week!! WTFFF do i pay for benifits for then?? I have to get a note for today since i got sick today... not next week!!!

That didn't answer the question as to if the doctors and medical care are better there.

IM shure the medical care is better in the USA .. thats a given..

But better doctor is useless.. when he cant even see you the same day.. hence stay home at work without note.. hence.. get fired.. for no doctors note.. hence.. get fired.. no money to pay good doctor.... hence you get stuck with a crapy docter who cant see you the same day.

That has nothing to do with a doctors ability. It has to do with his scheduling , work load, etc. What kind of a job fires you if you stay home for a day without a doctors note?

We import products here because they're cheaper. Cell phones and all electronics there are more expensive because they tax them so high.

You 45P gas, is sold in liters, not gallons. Takes about 4 liters to make a gallon, so you're at least at 180P per gallon. At 40P to the dollar, you're talking about $4.50 gallon, more than California which has about the highest gas tax in the country. My state is considered over the national average of gas prices right now and we're at $3.71 per gallon.

You could buy a Kia rather than a Mercedes here and get by cheaper to, but you'd still pay more for it in the Philippines.

Medical care is one of the things you can get cheaper there, but its partly because they only have a pay as you go system. Also it is not uncommon of expired or even faked drugs to be sold in the Philippines. The USA has much more regulation to prevent such things from happening, and mostly we have so many different ways to pay for health care, the providers spend a huge amount of time just trying to get paid.

And you're ignoring that 270,000 Filipinos are already in the USA illegally even though we make it hard for Filipinos to come to the USA. Remove the strict visa requirements, and we'd probably have more illegal Filipinos than we do Mexicans. Granted most Filipinos have no desire to live in the USA, but have you noticed what their number one source of income to the Philippines is? Its out of country workers. Filipinos leave daily for places that have jobs and work for a pittance because they can support their families back in the Philippines where there are very limited jobs for the average Filipino.

Does this make is a pain in the butt if we'd like to bring our spouse or fiancée here early or to visit? It sure does, but its the reality created by the economic disparity between our two countries. Even Canadians and Western Europeans have been known to be turned around at the border if they're already in the process of immigrating.
