You say that there is "no benefit in non-citizens bringing over non-citizens" etc. How many children per year do you think we are talking about?
.
Well, explain to me how allowing non-citizens to bring more non-citizens into this country will BENEFIT the United States?
And again, would Israel & Switzerland (countries you are a citizen of) allow me, a non-citizen living on a work visa, to bring other non-citizens into their countries in order to adopt?
You said you checked into international adoption in Switzerland. You should have checked the Swiss code. In Switzerland, the Swiss Civil code states that
at least ONE of the parents must be a Swiss citizen in order to bring an internationally adopted child into Switzerland. How is that different from the US?
As for Israel, in 1996, the ICA passed a law allowing Israeli CITIZENS to adopt from other countries and bring the children into the country. They do not allow non-citizens to adopt at all *even domestically
Again, why should the US bend over backwards to appease a handful of legal immigrants who want the benefits of citizenship without becoming a citizen? Or who want all the benefits of being a citizen for the purpose of adoption without having to wait until they are eligible for citizenship? Where is the benefit to the United States? There are no benefits to our country so why would they bother? The only one who would benefit would be the legal US immigrant adopting internationally because he/she could then take advantage of US citizenship visa & immigration policies that they were not intended to have access to.
