Roadtrip:

Halloooooooooo?!? Go and visit some of the flight schools in your area, and tell me how many people with the green card or with the legal right to work in the US you'll find among the instructors: thirty per cent maybe. All the others are here illegally, with student visas or tourist visas as well. Do you really think INS knows nothing about it? C'mon. It's like the indians in the gas stations or the mexicans cleaning up your roads and serving you the burgers, or watching after your babies: splendidly illegal, but damn useful. And regarding airlines: a friend of mine, a foreign citizen married to a yankee, got hired by a big regional airline this year: out of 22 pilots in his class, ONLY 2 were american citizens! You simply don't have enough qualified people to fly those shiny jets, so no bull...p, ok?
