I can. Nothing bugs me more than people who think the law doesn't apply to them. Everyone else has to follow it, but not them, they're a special case. This is especially egregious in the immigration system where we increasingly celebrate people who come here illegally which is a giant F.U. suckers to the people who followed the law and got their visas and green cards the way they were supposed to.

My sister's boyfriend immigrated here from Russia three years ago and yes it was a frustrating process, but he did it. Millions of people do it every year. It's doable. It's more doable here than in most countries. But you have to play by the same rules as everyone else. You don't get to make an exception for yourself. You're not better or more deserving than the guy filling out paperwork in the embassy in Uganda that you get to show up here without the permission that he's waiting for. I don't think requiring everyone to play by the same rules is unreasonable.

That's all fine and dandy and morally high ground on paper, but the immigration laws are still bullshit and I still can't really muster up any animosity towards people in desperate financial straits who can't wait three years for not abiding by them. No, it's not like it's totally okay to break the law, because as you say it causes a lot of negative effects for people who do follow the law, and for law enforcement, etc, but I blame that on the lawmakers sitting in their cushy offices who would rather bicker over political advantage than get anything of value done for not reforming those laws, not on people trying to make a living.
