問一個朋友對非法移民拿綠卡看法，一口血差點吐出來

聲明， 一個data point不能說明任何問題，本來就是隨便一問的，結果差點吐了血。

====================================
這個朋友的背景: 美國公民，從小在紐約市長大，半個白人血統半個西裔血統，明珠黨
，ivy PhD。
我很好奇她對整個法案的看法，就問問她

她說如果非法移民無公害，應該讓他們留下來，因為他們真的很困難，沒有地方去，生
存都有困難。
從人道主義的角度出發，這個也不難理解，我同意。

然後我問了一個問題：
Once these people are legalized, do you think they should be given the same
priority for green card application as people who were legal immigrants all
the time?

她: I don't know. legal immigrants typically have resources, they will be
fine even if they go back to home country. However, illegal immigrants came
cross the desert, they are risking their life for an opportunity. You guys
take exams, study really hard, that's nothing compared with them.

Me: Great. I have several friends who are ivy phds, it took some of them 6-7
years to get a green card. These guys are top 1% in China. The same
situation happens to many Indians also. I am just curious, is it to the best
interest of US to not keep these elites?

她: I don't know. Do you think these illegal ppl should also take 6-7 years
or longer to get green card? We lack Hispanics in the upper class. We also
really need ppl to do our cleaning, to be baby-sitters. We need them more.
These top 1% ppl can find a job anywhere, but these illegal immigrants came
cross the desert.

不知道為什麼，我特別地想打人。一個人的觀點不代表什麼，但是，我依然很想打人
是啊，我們小時候　千軍萬馬過獨木橋，跟冒著生命的危險相比是不算什麼的.

她本來就有Latino的血統，所以這樣回答也不奇怪

同行是冤家，她恨不得全世界只有她一個是博士，其他人全是清潔工和奶媽。
