Incredibly well and succinctly stated, Mr. Segal.

Thank you Mrs. Roberts. I am usually very calm and reserved, but this particular question just comes way too often. They give people some lingering hope and then eventually fail to act on that. Also, unfortunately, too may immigrants build their future on some unsubstantiated hope and end in deportation limbo as a a result.

You are most welcome. Agreed - I am always impressed with the ones who really think about it and plan before taking action, but many just act and hope with the precise result you describe.
