President Donald Trump vetoed a bill designed to block his emergency declaration at the Southern Border on Friday, in a ceremony at the White House.

“Today, I am vetoing this resolution,” Trump said. “Congress has the freedom to pass this resolution and I have the duty to veto it. And I’m very proud to veto it.”

    It is Byzantine, but there's no reason to change it. I've seen people put up with the uncertainty, capricious process and financial hardship the US immigration process throws at them to get US citizenship.

    Were I trying to get first world citizenship and educated like them, I would try for Canadian citizenship instead. From what I hear the process is well-defined, and educated people are wanted. Plus you probably have the best access to the US out of any other country.
