Your tax dollars at work. NOT! The way they figure it, it is mostly non-US citizens who use the USCIS so give them the worst service on earth. The USCIS makes most Third world bureaucracies look good.

The fees go up, the service gets worse. The Wall Street Journal reported this week that for the first time in a long time, there is a higher number of job openings than there are unemployed people.
Last week for the umpteenth time, we went downtown and saw able bodied bums pan handling for money. My wife wanted to give money, but I said "NO" pointing out that pretty much all the restaurants and a lot of businesses had 'help wanted' signs in the windows.
I explained that a lot of restaurants would put people working on the dishwashing machine, pay them and give them a good meal.
Hell, we have shelters that'll do that and give them a bed to sleep in, if they're not drunk or high.
90%++ of the time you give a pan handler money, it goes to booze, drugs and cigarettes.
My wife was so hyped up on wanting to work ASAP that she wanted to work at McDonalds, but I held out and she started at JC Penney, then a couple weeks later, a Public School hired her.
There are a lot of jobs that US citizens are too lazy or proud to do.
Hell, to a large extent, immigrant labor built our country, it's infrastructure and still provides us reasonably priced foods for our tables.

I have to laugh when some people say that illegals get welfare and food stamps etc. They must not know any illegals because those people work their asses off. I would like to deport all the US citizen meth heads and keep the illegals.

I've mentioned several times how rain or dry, hot or cold, you can go to an area around here and see a bunch of guys, mostly Mexicans and from Central America, huddled, waiting for some people to hire them as day laborers.
When my wife managed a Chick-fil-A restaurant, people like that were the best workers they ever had.
Some pretty much had to work in the back, because they couldn't speak English.
I remember sometimes my wife would sadly tell me how one of them had enough of life in the USA, how they missed their family too much. She really liked and respected them and when I'd meet them, I could tell the respect and understanding was mutual.
I get the same vibe at Ci Ci's Pizza here, where they hire people who can hardly speak English, but they always, as good customer service requires, smile and they work circles around native born USA teenagers, never stop moving.
I also notice at some places, elderly people, well into their 70's, who put so much more effort in than teenagers.
We're like the end of the Roman Empire, where we, like they wanted, want other people to do every thing for us and for other nations to provide us with everything we consume.
Just an increasingly lazy ass nation, where even those on welfare show a nasty, indignant attitude to those who do work, and hate the convenience store owners of the shops that sell them booze and cigarettes, junk foods and lottery tickets, simply because they're a different ethnic group.
