Dear Editor:
An editorial "Abolish Family Immigration" is absurd. There is no way it should be abolished. There are millions of immigrants in the US who want their family to come to live in the US. How will they help them get their documents if the family who comes here can't find an employment based sponsor? We need family sponsorship to even increase its visa numbers. Lately there has been a backlog in the family preferences due to lack of visas available. Who gets hurt? The Family. I believe, that there should be an increase in number of visas available for all sponsorships, family and employment based, otherwise, the situation will get worse. The US ought to help legalize the status of millions of immigrants that have been in the US for so many years, have been working, paying taxes, their children born here, and they cannot go to visit their country. Those immigrants are in need and they do need your help. They are decent human beings and hardworking people. America was, is, and will always be a country of immigrants. The doors cannot be closed. Families sponsoring families should not wait for many years to join them. The processing times should be within 1 year. Please help the immigrants.
