I don't know when it all changed.I came to the US legally in 2001 as foreign military spouse of born and bred American.My husband had to sign financial responsibility affidavit which stated that I was not allowed to collect any welfare in the US for 5 yrs.The emigration visa fee was about $1200 including medical examination,chest x-ray(to see if no tuberculosis),and blood work.Had to fill out about 20 pages interview which included questions if I or any family member ever belonged to communist party or nazi organization,financial records,family history ,etc.The whole process took about 3 months.We were very young couple and just had a baby;it was hard to come up with $1200 on junior enlisted pay.We had to borrow the money from my mother in law,lol.It really pisses me off ,when illegals just walk across the border and demand shit.But what boils my blood the most are ungrateful fucking immigrants who live here and bitch about America.In what other country can you do that?Nowhere.Everywhere else people will tell you to gtfo back to your country but in America somehow that' racist.
