[Assam] Immigration policy

[umesh sharma]

Kamal-da,

When Immigration began 500 years back in USA then there was no family reunification programs -- those who had guts and desire for adventure sailed across the oceans and never saw their families again. Some prisoners had to be sent to Australia since no one in thier right minds wanted to go to Australia -- some bribed and escaped and came back to Britain  -- read Chalres Dicken's Great Expectations.  

So why this pillar of immigration. Immigration means travel to a new place -- not bringing all your hometown and family and friends with you. Does it?

 It appears that sibling and adult children of American citizen are just out of luck,turned by a stroke of the pen from family members into strangers in the eye of law.Instead of blood-ties,people will be judged by a point system in which knowledge of English and education would be given importance rather than family value.
