starboard,
I agree that the current H1-B process is not very accessible for most of the illegal immigrants here today. I certainly hope now that people recognize the need for low skilled worker to fill jobs that are not very appealing to normal US work force, whatever new “Guess Worker” program that are in the work should be designed to meet the needs of the targeted audience, both from the employer and the potential employee perspectives. They should not be held at the same H1-B standard.
Illegal immigrants issue is not unique in US. Many counties are facing the same issue, just at different magnitude. US certainly have the worst illegal immigrants issue in terms of the no. of illegal immigrants. I have to say that if you look around the world, US actually has one of the most open immigration policy than most of the counties. It’s much harder to immigrate to most of the European counties, skilled or not.

I'm curious Jenny, are you going through the H1-B process, yourself?

that's good to hear. congrats. some of my college friends are coming up on the last years of their H1-B and have to serious consider doing the Green card process. It's really require quite a bit of forethought. a delay on the DOJ's part and there could be a gap between H1-B status and green card, putting them in illegal status.

Actually that's not quite true. While Catholic church does encourage married couples to have children, in countries like Mexico, Ecuador and others, the great majorities of women who have children are single mothers. Some are raped, others had a boyfriend who got them pregnant and dumped them after finding out about it. Saddly safe sex is not an option for most of them. Most of these women have no access to anticonceptives and let alone to sexual education.

Do you know this for a fact? Because I have heard quite the contrary. It's way harder to get a working permit in the US than it is in other countries such like Spain. I am an immigrant myself. I was born an American Citizen and moved to Spain seven years ago. I didn't have much trouble getting a permit. And Spain is a country with heavy immigration issues. It's as bad here as it is there. This country receives over 1000 of illegal immigrants a day coming mostly from African countries. Spain cannot deport them because it has no agreements with the countries these people come from. It's a terrible situation.
