Well, AlphaFrog, it really isn't that unheard of for someone to point out the differences in the US immigration policy for various countries. It has been argued for a long time that it it may be more difficult for some people to migrate to this country (like Haitians, and other Carribean Islanders) than others (like Europeans). I'm not getting into the merits of this argument right now, but I am saying that is certainly isn't new and shouldn't immediatedly be dismissed. Also, speaking to your question awhile back of why some topics are discussed in the NPHC forums rather than the general fourms, it was metioned that some people do not care for the reception (or lack thereof) that they receive from posters in those fourms when race is brought up. Perhaps your response is an example of that. It is fine to disagree on this issue, but to blast this poster at the mere mention of race is unnecessary.

Just as some of you have "hot issues" this is one with me.
I agree that the immigration policy for different countries is very unfair. It would eliminate POUNDS of red tape for me if my husband was Cuban or Salvadoranian instead of Mexican. But this doesn't have much to do with blacks who are already in this country.
