The point - real mobile9 - is that I'm fed up with illegals and more importantly, Americans who have np problems with their ruining this country. I would agree w/ you if we were talking strictly about LEGAL citizens but I was not.
I'm glad you are sure this kid was born in Ethiopia and is here legally. What makes you so sure? OK everyone, back off this "kid". The real mobile9 is sure he's here legally.
Because he's Ethiopian. Ever meet any? They tend to do things by the books and (like most African immigrants) are very driven to go by the rules and advance themselves via education.
And this isn't a f***ing walk across the border. This kid and his folks had to have an appointment at the US embassy in Addis, go through their passports, birth certificates, list all academic institutions they attended, etc. The US does some background checking before it issues visas (which he'll need to get into the country coming by plane). That's why. Like I said, it could very well be that he's older than what he says, but I'd be surprised if what he says is different than what all his legal documentation states.
