To the editor: I grew up in the 1960s in the Midwest, the first-generation daughter of Eastern European immigrants.
Even then we knew that if a relative or friend from Europe wanted to come to the United States to live, all they had to do was overstay their visa.
Here we are some 50 years later and absolutely nothing has changed. (“After their visas expire,” July 12)
Despite all the technological advancements, the government still can't keep track of people who are here overstaying their visas.
This has obviously not been a priority; one wonders why we have some laws at all.
