because chuck norris says they can't.

hey, if i want to live in your house and eat your food and sleep with your wife, why not let me?

If you wanted to live in my house and eat my food, Mongolian culture would say that I should let you. If you wanted to sleep with my wife, you'd be out of luck... I'm not married yet. Even if I were married, I could tell her to sleep with you, but she'd have free will.

yeah, well, ok. my brothers and i will be over tomorrow to move in. we'll eat your food, drive your car, take your cash, and take turns spooning with you all night long until your new wifey arrives and gives you a little less traffic.

It sounds like Mongolia is stuck in the '60s.

Mongolian culture is based on there being miles and miles between where each person lives. If someone is travelling a long distance, there are no hotels, so they will either need to let people in to stay with them, or the traveller will freeze to death in the -40 degree cold.

Today, that translates to people inviting each other over whenever the feel like it, and staying the night when it's convenient. Yes, it can be annoying to have to be ready to host someone 24/7, but you will be hosted right back.

It's really cool, I think. I like the idea enough that I would keep an open door policy at my house, where people are welcome to come and hang out any time.

I can't spoon with both of you at the same time? That's a dealbreaker.

all of these illegal aliens are easily replaced by teenagers and young adults.

We've had this convo before (you and I, the two of us) .

If their only crime is migrating to the U.S. to look for work, I don't think of them as criminals. Did your ancestors get a visa when they came to the U.S.?

That was not te requirement at that time.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

That was not te requirement at that time.

A visa was not required for most of US history. Passports required to pass through frontiers is mainly a development of WWI. The first immigration quotas for the US were established in 1921. Before that, almost anyone the reached the American shores, or passed across the unguarded frontiers, was able to live and work in the US.

It hasn't been 1986 for about 27 years now....

The immigration bill will give amnesty and citizenship to illegal aliens who have already been deported from the US.

I agree !

When The Kenyan's Auntie and Uncle live in USA as illegal aliens and get a pass ? Something is very wrong with any concept of 'amnesty' for illegal aliens, you betcha !

I think that is a major reason why the U.S. was so successful throughout the 1900s. Now they make me lose sleep over whether or not they'll approve the woman I want to marry. Hurrah for progress.

I think it was alot harder to get here back then. Weeks on a steamship or whatever. Also, the U.S. wasn't the economic power then, that it is now.

So I guess if it's either weeks on a steamship, or months at the USCIS... I would choose the steamship.

i don't think steamships were like a carnival cruise..i'd pick uscis!

I may change my mind pending my fiancee's interview. I somehow would feel more secure about the future if it were up to a steamship, as opposed to being up to someone who gets a little information about our relationship and has to judge it immediately.

I don't freak out very often, so being so freaked out freaks me out.

ap dread of course. and once the interview is over you'll freak until her passport gets back to her with the visa in it. once that's over you'll freak about her getting through customs successfully. it sucks when you're made keenly aware of how little control you have over your own happiness.
