1. What about easier visitor visas for Chinese citizens as well?

2. Oh, let's not go into that. I had to go through it three times because my wife is a

Chinese national, I am an American and they denied her on the spot for a B2 visa twice immediately because we were married. I had to get my Congressman involved (luckily, I know him personally).

How about legal immigration reform as well?

How journey through LEGAL immigration. Long story short. . .it's easier, faster, cheaper and less humiliating to do it illegally than legally.
