Dear Editor:
I am an illegal alien here. I've been one for three years now. I come from a small country, Romania, and am trying to make a decent living and become a good citizen of this beautiful country. I applied for residency over 2 years ago, and I am still waiting. I think Mayor Bloomberg was right. INS should take care of the immigration problem faster and help honest, decent people become residents of this country. For three years now I have been trying to do something with my life. I am 26 years old but it is very hard, much harder than I expected. Being "on hold" with my papers does not give me the right to do anything. I am still an illegal alien, as are millions of other people. I used to be a news reporter in Romania for a small local TV station, and now I do all kinds of work just to pay the bills. I do not think it is fair that the government has given you the chance to file for residency, but it takes years for its completion. Meanwhile, you are stuck. You are allowed to stay here and try to get your papers, but do not have a work permit, nothing. The sooner INS processes these immigration files, the better for everyone in this country. All decent, honest people want is to have a life and live, make something of our lives.
Natalie
