  Even the thing you posted... 20 DAYS... 30 DAYS... It's a hassle, maybe, to get the paperwork in, but not YEARS or DECADES...
  
  Plenty of reputable sources state that getting a green card takes YEARS.

  None of what you posted, Hecce, changes things.

  Still millions of times harder to get legal status in the U.S.

  cha ching,

  There are various types of visas and temporary residence status you can get. There is a status where you receive all of your money from foreign sources (I work for a Canadian company but remotely). This is perfect for the Mexican Government because I spend virtually all of my income here and not a single Mexican job is threatened.
  
  However, given that the argument in this thread is about U.S. immigration and U.S. immigrants "taking U.S. jobs", I will say this: It's just slightly but not too much harder to get a temporary residence that allows you to work in Mexico. I know because years ago I had to change my status to that kind and I got work as a photographer.
  
  I insist: it's very easy to legally work as a foreigner in Mexico. It's one of the hardest things in the world to do the same in the U.S.

  I can't believe some of you who are saying that legally immigrating to the U.S. is easy. Are you kidding me? True, the U.S. does have a huge illegal immigration problem, but they sure don't make it easy to cross either legally or illegally.
  
  Let's compare U.S. to Mexico and U.S. to Canada borders:
  
  US to Mexico:

  US to Canada:

  Let's compare getting a Mexican temporary/permanent residence:
  
  You start the process in a Mexican consulate, get a special visa, you buy a ticket to Mexico, you get to Mexico and have that special visa stamped, then you go to the nearest INM office, then you do some more paperwork, pay some fees, and two weeks later you got it. From beginning to end, maybe 2 months tops...
  
  To getting a US green card:
  
  (I've never done the process but there are plenty of reports online that show it's an extremely expensive and slow process that may take up to decades).
  
  Again, while I DO AGREE that the US does have a huge illegal immigration problem, the comparison of immigration to Mexico and the US and making it seem like Mexico's process is hard and the U.S. is "too easy" is the most preposterous and stupid thing I have read in a long time.
  
  The U.S. should make it WAY HARDER for people to overstay their visas. That's what needs to be done.

  This article is complete utter bullshit. Compared to legally immigrating to the US or Canada, getting a legal permanent residence in Mexico is RIDICULOUSLY easy. I know because I am a Canadian who has a legal temporary residence in Mexico (which automatically turns permanent after 4 years). Follow the rules, pay the fees, wait, get it. That easy.
  
  If it was as easy to legally immigrate to the U.S. as it was to Mexico, surely like 99% of illegal immigration to the U.S. would be gone.
  
  I love this country and I actually like that there is a high military presence. There's a saying in Mexico: "El que no debe no paga"... "The one who owes nothing pays nothing"... same thing applies. Every single government official/police officer / military who I have dealt with has always treated me respectfully.

  Wifi, thank you for offering!

  The problem that I have is that there is no correlation between English and Spanish bound volumes before 1984, so an article that was printed on November 1953 in the English version will end up being in Spanish on mid 1954 but I would have no idea when specifically.

  Now that I looked it up, it seems like it will be either in 1952, or 1953, or 1954:
  
  This whole article would be nice to have:

  *** w52 12/15 p. 764 Questions From Readers ***

  Questions From Readers

  ● Is vaccination a violation of God’s law forbidding the taking of blood into the system?—G. C., North Carolina.

  The matter of vaccination is one for the individual that has to face it to decide for himself. Each individual has to take the consequences for whatever position and action he takes toward a case of compulsory vaccination, doing so according to his own conscience and his appreciation of what is for good health and the interests of advancing God’s work. And our Society cannot afford to be drawn into the affair legally or take the responsibility for the way the case turns out.

  *** w54 1/1 p. 30 Questions From Readers ***

  Questions From Readers

  ● Should we worship Jesus?—G. B., Ethiopia.

  The clergy of Christendom that believe in a trinity as the main doctrine of Christianity will answer with a positive Yes to this question. Quite to be expected, for they believe that worshiping Jesus is at the same time worshiping God the Father and God the Holy Spirit, for these three they believe to be Three Persons mysteriously making up one God. The King James Version of the English Bible was rendered by trinitarian translators, and doubtless for this reason the translators rendered the Greek word proskyne′ō by the word “worship,” when applying to Jesus. In fact, in every case of its occurrence in the Christian Greek Scriptures they consistently rendered this Greek verb by “worship.” So we read of the magi’s “worshiping” the babe Jesus, and of persons who approached Jesus or received healing from him or asked favors of him “worshiping” Jesus on earth.

  
  and this one:
  
  *** w54 5/15 p. 317 Questions From Readers ***Questions From Readers● In the January 1 issue of The Watchtower the question from Ethiopia, “Should we worship Jesus?” is answered. In paragraph five Hebrews 1:6 is quoted with regard to the angels of God worshiping Jesus, but in the final paragraph it says: “The answer to the above question must be that no distinct worship is to be rendered to Jesus Christ now glorified in heaven. Our worship is to go to Jehovah.” Does this not contradict the statement of Hebrews 1:6?—T. P., United States.
  Thanks!
