>>Your second to last sentence says it all. Until you get your citizenship you really have no right to complain.<<

So non-citizens have no rights? If the government just decides one day to deport every single lawful non-citizen, regardless of their reason for being there (student visa, work visa, visiting family), you'd have no problem with that?

If the government just decided to round up every single lawful non-citizen and send them to Parts Unknown without criminal charge for an indeterminate period of time, you'd have no problem with that? Oh wait, they already are doing that to some people...

>>And from what you're saying I doubt you'd get the same nice, respectful treatment in your country.<<

So can our motto be, "Hey, we're not nearly as bad as Saddam Hussein." Or Kim Jong-Il, or Robert Mugabe, or Moammar Qad'hafi, or Pinochet, or Ceaucescu, Milosevic, or Idi Amin, the House of Saud, or whatever other despotic regime of choice.
