I guess my comment was coming from my friend complaining because her company has limitations on how many people can legally live in a small apartment, and also the disclosure for telling the apartment manager how many people are living there and how many are temporary guests. I remember when I lived in my apartment anyone who wasn't on the lease that was staying for over 5 days we were required to report it to management and they may deny you your guest. I guess the reason she was there is because they fired the other managers because they were overlooking those things and she had to fix them.
I think if you own your own house, maybe there aren't any limitations on who can live with you? I have no idea. I agree that our system is in some serious need of reform and I'm glad that people are finally doing something to point that out. I also agree with your point about how it lures in people from other countries with this "land of opportunity" stuff and then don't treat them well.
Although I don't consider myself an immigrant now, my great-grandparents on both sides were immigrants, and I don't know how our system for processing immigrants has changed since then (or if it even has).
