Yep as bhagbhalu mentioned it is difficult to get a job without being US citizen/Permanent resident. But i mean if you have what it takes then nothing can stop you. And by the way here is something intresting, I recently heard that its goona get very tuffer for everyone. Including the people whoes case are pending(Might not be a realaible source dont count on it) Illegals are gone they are gonna find em up and send em out. Now you can say there are 12 millions how would they? It's their country and they can track you anytime they want to no matter where you are? And for the people whoes case might be pending lets say who were illegals and whoes case were pending would also be pushed out. They wouldnt renew their work permits and you DL would also experice and you wont be able to renew it. Because you would need to provide legal status to renew that. Only people who might own a business might get chance. But eventually they are goona push everyone who dont belong here away. Expert say major reform cant be obtained untill next presidency thats OCT 2008. In these times they are gonna enforce the tuffer laws. All those people including anchor babies might be send home. Well Hope these are just rumours(chitchat).
