    ok, i live in canada, and i wanna move to the states when i work for a year or so to get some money to afford rent. but the problem is, any visa i can get doesn't entitle me to work there.. unless its for a professional position, which i don't plan on doing due to a lack of well.. being a professional in anything. and to get a citizenship you have to have a greencard for lke 5 years, and to get a green card you have to be living in the states for i think at least 6 months or something.. but i can't live there without working and no visa will cover that. so aside from moving there and burning my id and living on the street until i claim i'm a US citizen that lost my id and i'm a hobo.. i'm out of ideas. how the hell do i move to the states to get an average job, i just wanna live in LA, its just a dream i've had for a long time, i hate the climate here you know? any ideas or information?

    how will i get a decent job and a place to live.. the landlord would want some info on me, and my job wouldn't be able to pay me unless it was under the table with cash but i know thatd never happen unless they wanna pay me 2 bucks an hour tops. and im not gonna be a fuckin maid or gardener. just how the hell do people move to the states, like so many immigrants get green cards

    If you want in the country bad enough you will do what you have to. Quit bitching. You obviously don't want it bad enough.

    If you kill a Texan in an honorable pistol duel, you get to become a Texan, and get all his horses.

    I'm waiting for you Snarf.

    Thats the thing, most immigrants dont have greencards. I am In the us illegally, Ive never been a maid or gardener. I lease a house, I make beaucoup money, always have. Nobody pays 2 dollars an hour, not even to illegals just minimum wage without benefits. dunno where youre getting your info, but stop listening. I still wouldnt recomend you come to california illegally, as california isnt exactly pro illegal immigrant.

    cali especialy la is insanely expensive to live
    if 7ya dont want to have a professional job la is not the place to live

    if you want just a run of the mill average job then choose an average cdcity where the cost of living isnt 4 times higher then it should be\

    do you have any clue how much rent for the shittiest appartments are in la?
    literaly a condemned building with no doors or woindows or plumbing would run ya twice what a really nivcce place anywhere else would

    besides
    la is pure hell
    la is the last plavce on earth id ever wanna live

    i think your chasing a dream a fantasy without a clue of the reality

    if u want to move here though, its not so hard
