Well, the reason is probably very subtile, and has to do with perjury sometimes being an easy to prove reason for deportation. The personal searches are also very offensive. Who cares if you have ever "sold your body"? It isn't a good practice, but I do know people who have been able to grow away from that destructive behavior... Note that bureaucracies are not known for having a reasonable collective intelligence. The further the bureaucrats and legislatures stray from real life, the worse the situation gets. It is very frustrating to me that there aren't more "furners" here, so we can learn even more... I am one of those idiots that starts asking questions about people, when I meet them... Sometimes it is off-putting, because it is sometimes taken as being critical or nosey, but frankly the way people live and their cultures are fascinating to me. USA is a very desirable $$$ place to live, (in ways that might be different than other countries), but isn't ideal for everyone. It can be very very difficult to adjust to for people who have lived their entire lifes in more socialistic countries, for example. My opinion, is that home is where you want to make it. I sure wish that we were more careful, respectful AND caring on how we qualified immigrants though. At the frontier, our gov't is hostile even for Americans. -- John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, dyson@freebsd.org | it just makes you look stupid, jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig.
