Hello guys!. .. .This is really bad news!. .. .What do you mean with private aviation?. .What about regional airlines, Air Taxi operations, flight schools and corporate jobs?. .Do we need to be a US citizen to get a job at this operations?. .. .Red Baron starting to see red!

Yes - Especially if you want access to the sidelines of aviation while you wait to play for the majors.. .Although the performance of the INS may not be doing much to keep the borders secure,people in aviation and their unions are starting to get all over this like a mad womans breakfast. If you want into the USA any time soon, you will need a Green Card or other certification of your right to residency and work. If you can squeeze past the Government, you're unlikely to squeeze past anybody who's hiring because they are in serious CYA mode. You're also up against aviation people that are out of work here already, or, re-training because they're fed up with being bumped out of one line of work and want to increase their aviation odds.
