We can't just come and live in your country without the paperwork so what is your point? You just want it your way...is that it?

Right on! As an American I, like you, do not understand why we make it difficult for the UK to immigrate to the US. We speak the same language, are culturally intertwined, and as you stated are close allies. British citizen's are also well educated and a great source of "brain power" for the U.S.
Instead, the US government seems to encourage immigration (legal or otherwise) from the poor and uneducated. We even give poor immigrants access to our welfare programs -- section 8 (subsidised) housing, food stamps, and health care!
I guess my answer is "I don't know why we make it harder for culture's similar to ours to live in our country. It is grossly unfair, both to the UK and to the USA. I know that the silent, gagged by political correctness, majority agrees.

You can if you do the work, and you have relevant skills. But we don't need a bunch of extra people who don't bring anything useful to the country - we have to ensure Americans get the good jobs before giving them to immigrants. I know - I am one!
Our government also controls immigration based on race. They want to encourage an ethnically diverse population, so various countries (including the UK and Mexico) are barred from the annual 'green card lottery'. That used to be an easy way for Brits to get to the US.

The easiest way for you to do that is to go to Mexico on a vacation and then you can just walk on over here. We will raise your kids on food stamps and welfare, Medical will be free, we will educate them free and then you can even have all kinds of kids that will be born FREE as legal citizens. We`ll give you a job And then you can even find some big hefty ugly woman, marry her and then your in dude. Free and clear.

There was never a quota on UK immigration. you can join the US military as we can the UK military. Work Visas are required both ways but you can apply for and get Dual citizenship, Or you can fly to mexico and walk across like everyone else!

Americans can't just go live anywhere they want without having to go through paperwork... it's a 2 way street.. every country needs security about who is going into their country for their country's safety.. no matter where they live
