Additionally, the Immigration Law is one of the things that may get overhauled completely as President Trump has it on his to-do list.There may be a re-instatement of all visa applications being denied, revoked or halted from many countries including primarily Muslim Countries and terrorist supporting regimes.Also, if you do get to the USA somehow, you must not use any public funds (grants, unemployment or social security welfare) or commit any crime or be arrested or convicted of any violation of sometimes archaic and biased laws, where ignorance of the law is not a defense. It could be a pattern that some biased and bigoted law enforcement agencies may as well as harass you find some way to arrest and charge you for being not from the USA. The Statue of Liberty and the 'Bring your poor and tired masses' welcoming immigration to the USA is long gone, and if the Statue of Liberty could move I am sure that she would stomp north of the border and settle down off of Newfoundland, Canada!Some example of Obscure laws still valid in some states include : Do not cut down a Cactus in Arizona, otherwise 25 years in jail is the maximum penalty;Do not sell your eyeballs in Texas.Do not go fishing without checking and obtaining a fishing permit, particularly in Federal,State, County or City owned land or sea shore. (A Chinese couple, a customer of my wife for real estate, were deported for not obeying this law and lost their 'green cards'.)Do not sell a toothbrush as well as toothpaste to the same customer on a Sunday in Rhode Island.So the American Dream may only be a mirage, my friend, unless you have great luck and skill and patience !
