    More than 700,000 immigrants are waiting on applications to become U.S. citizens, a process that once typically took about six months but has stretched to more than two years in some places.https://abcn.ws/2Q2E0Dy

        This issue has been growing for some time. I naturalized in 2012 & it took 4 months. This problem is not new - it's main cause is USCIS processing more asylum/illegal entry cases, & many legal residents I speak with have been expected to wait at least 18 months since 2015.

        This is why the caravan happens. People seeking refugee status can’t wait 2 years. For many of them it’s leave now or fear for their lives daily. Our immigration system is a mess and needs to be fixed, but people seeking asylum deserved to be heard.

        I worked in the Usa from 1991 until 1998 after going through a 6 months internship . Went through the legal process . Had to hire an immigration attorney who was great but not cheap . Do I have respect for illegal immigrants who just want free stuff, NO. Refugees of war, YES .

        People from the honduran caravan must be thoroughly vetted and go through some kind of legal process if they want to get inside the US and work there . This caravan is full of gang members and also probably islamist radical extremists as a report would suggest .

        Let me ask you this : I do not know you so I cannot judge , but would you take into your home some of those poor people coming in the honduran caravan or any other caravan for that matter ? Will Maxine Waters , the Obamas, the Clintons, Robert de Niro or Meryl Streep do the same?

        The Trump Administration wants to curtail legal immigration. It's not a guess, it's real.

        Maybe those 700,000 imigrants who are doing it right may want to go stop that caravan of invaders trying to jump in front of them🤷‍♂️

        If the Democrats had their way, thousands of caravans would be let in until America is 3rd world shithole, then blame trump and Russia for America being a shithole

        I wonder how many veterans are waiting for their disability claims to go through and how long that process takes… I know mine is going on 36 years… do you think the Bureau of Veterans Affairs cares? #ToxicsSoldiers #DyingVet
