Applying for an immigration visa to enter another country is a time-consuming process. It requires adherence to numerous regulations and requirements, such as complying with detailed documents, taking medical exams, proving financial stability, and attending interviews. Each step ensures that applicants meet the country's legal standards. This thorough process shows the seriousness with which countries handle immigration, aiming to balance border control with the opportunity for lawful entry.

I had a change of opinion with someone who came illegally using someone else's ID and has a family member who disregarded a debt issue with a financial institution since using someone else’s Social Security number anyway. However, I don't know how they got their papers sorted out. This conversation got me thinking… How is it fair that some people can easily manipulate the system while others have to go through a complex process just to get in?
I disagreed because I don’t think it is fair and not something you should be proud of… She countered my argument and said that I just didn't understand because I knew nothing about the dangers they faced in their home country. If that country is as dangerous as they claim, it seems illogical that their families would continue to return there for vacations regularly – why would you still go back and forth to a place you know is not safe?
“If you want to be welcomed into someone else's home, shouldn’t you knock and wait for the homeowner to let you in through the front door?"
I am sure that anyone you want to welcome into your home needs to knock on your door, doing so with your permission out of respect for your territorial rights. As we perceive it, most of the time, those who enter without your permission usually don’t have good intentions. And that this action violates you, the homeowner’s privacy and safety. There is a reason why every country has its own safety measures for immigration, just as you put security measures in your house to ensure that nobody can enter without your knowledge. It seems hypocritical when people disagree with territorial rights or immigration policies and advocate for open borders while also having various security features in their homes. Just as how you protect your home to keep yourself and your family safe, the immigration process serves the same purpose for a country's citizens.
Following the immigration process is essential for ensuring that individuals enter and remain in a country legally and by its laws. This process helps maintain national security, manage resources effectively, and uphold the rights and responsibilities of both immigrants and citizens. By adhering to established procedures, immigrants contribute to a system that balances the need for border control with the opportunities for lawful entry and residency. It also protects individuals from exploitation and ensures they receive the appropriate support and services while integrating into their new community. Ultimately, following the immigration process helps foster a fair and orderly system that benefits everyone involved.
