Immigration - July 2006

The dream act is an act that would allow undocumented students go to college, the chance to get federal help, and citizenship. What do you think is it just or what?

We live in a nation made up of IMMIGRANTS!! we are 1 race, tha human race. What i dont understand is the resentment people have against mexican americans. You all act as if the majority of us are not good people, involved in gangs, just flat out criminals. I wish you people can see the hardship the mexican population has had to go through. Racisim should stop now! think about it, if you send all immigarnts out of the U.S the only people remaining would be the natives. Mexicans come across the border looking for a better life. As did your ancestors, so they wouldnt be persucuted by a monarch. Thats why this beautiful nation was formed. To allow all humans the chance for a freedom.My point is simple, we are a nation that should accept people for who they are regardless of their color, education, language, sex ect. We are a nation of freedom, individuality, love, respect, democarcy, DIVERSITY. But its up to the People of the USA to accept people for who they are not where they come from.

It seems to me that the illegal immigration debate of who is right and who is wrong has become very focused on land....who took what land from who, who deserves to have it back, etc. In my belief "America" is a way of life, a band of people, a belief system, a culture. "America" is not land. America is a principal of freedom that was drempt of, fought for, gifted to others, many people died for, and many continue to fight for. Thanks to our ancestors we have something to believe in and it's not the land, it's a Way of life. Have we gotten so lost in our monetary selfishness that we have forgotten, America the DREAM? The men and their families who came here weren't seeking land. They came here pursuing freedom from Tyrany and the right to practice their own beliefs. America is a way of life. Anyone who still believes in America should be fighting for the basic fundamental principals our ancestors drempt of. The land or who was here first talk has nothing to do with "America".

this into a "race" issue?? It really doesn't have ANYTHING to do with a persons "race", color or nationality. It has to do with BREAKING our laws, overburdening the welfare and medical system, and taking benefits they are not entitled to. I, for one, would feel the SAME way about any foreigners coming to this country illegally and doing these things!!! What are your thoughts???

Legislation Will Deny Illegal Immigrants Non-Emergency State Services.

Colorado Springs, CO


With legislation to take effect Tuesday denying
illegal immigrants some non-emergency state services, the state is preparing an expanded list of documents to prove legal residency.

M. Michael Cooke, executive director of the state revenue
department, said she is writing an emergency rule expanding the number of acceptable identification documents.
The new law lists only four such documents, driver's licenses, state identification cards, tribal documents and military I-D
cards.

In addition to adding other documents, waivers will be available for some homeless people and some others who would have difficulty
getting the other documents.

I am a Swiss tourist and was visiting America on vacation and stopped in a Wal-Mart in New Jersey to buy batteries for my digital camera. I have a deep suntan from sailing in my sloop out of Monaco. I went in and these men began following me talking on a cell phone. Suddenly, a trap door in the floor opened under me and I fell into a deep pit.

The men took me out after store hours and shipped me somewhere I don't know where but I am allowed out of this cage with a gang of illegal Mexicans they have captured in like manner each night after store hours and we are forced to mop and swep the floors. NO ONE BELIEVES ME WHEN I TELL THEM I AM SWISS NATIONAL.

Right now, I am using a computer in the electronics department to get this plea for help out. I DONT KNOW WHERE I AM and someone is coming.

I am sorry and if I'm wrong, someone enlighten me! I truly want to be empathetic! Yes, this country was built on immigrants.
But, here I go... The protests going on aggrivate me, one reason is because of the flag! As a patriot, I can't stand to see the flag turned upside down or hanging the wrong way. If you want to be an American, learn about our traditions and our language. I believe that you should be able to speak English if you live here. I am all for helping to educate you in how to speak it.

But protesting for change in immigration almost doesn't make sense to me. Why are you not protesting in your country and your government? Why not help make change in Mexico?

Does anyone agree or disagree?

Pancha gets more attention than the immigration debate!The immigration debate is getting burried by someone named Pancha and a network of her imposters and so called pods. Pancha is a major smoke screen intended to keep us from the issue at hand. Me and my people are taking a stand starting today.....no more Pancha. We will no longer answer any question from the handle "Pancha" and no longer answer any question in reference to "Pancha". Furthemore; any question we suspect may be "Pancha" in disquise will not be answered.
I ask for an all out shunneing of any and all Pancha activity. I wish to discuss immigration on this page and nothing more. Pancha (the handle, and reference to) is dead to me and mine!
If you're with us on this, please declare it and stick by it. If you're not don't bother to comment, we won't hold it against you.

My cousin has lived here for 5 years and meets all the basic requirements in order to apply for a US citizenship. However, he has told me that he needs proof that he has payed his taxes for the last 5 years. And during those 5 years, he didn't work. Is it true that immigration looks at this type of stuff? He has also told me that he needs two of my relatives to cosign for him. Is there anything of tihs sort to deal with during immigration?

If you do not vote or do not know how your reps vote, don't complain. Instead of complaining, be pro active. Email your congressmen and sign up for MegaVote. Both are free and MegaVote will email you on EVERY issue your reps votes on. They even explain what the vote is about. DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE.

Do you think it is just to hire Illegals just because they will work for three dollars an hour. Are you doing it to support the Illegal or to make more money for your business? Because if you were really trying to support the Illegal don't you think it is more supportive to pay them actual minimum wage?

Just curious as to if anyone knows exactly what "rights," civil liberties, protections, etc. are granted to those that are in the USA illegally? Do they/should they have the same protections, due process, etc. as American citizens? What are some of the legal basis for the protections that are awarded to illegals? Does the Bill of Rights and/or Constitution outline rights for illegal immigrants or do they derive from other sources like the courts? Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this?

http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html
This study is one of the first to estimate the total impact of illegal immigration on the federal budget. Based on Census Bureau data, this study finds that, when all taxes paid (direct and indirect) and all costs are considered, illegal households created a net fiscal deficit at the federal level of more than $10 billion in 2002. The Center for Immigration Studies also estimate that, if there was an amnesty for illegal aliens, the net fiscal deficit would grow to nearly $29 billion.

Among the findings:
Households headed by illegal aliens imposed more than $26.3 billion in costs on the federal government in 2002 and paid only $16 billion in taxes, creating a net fiscal deficit of almost $10.4 billion, or $2,700 per illegal household.

Ya know.. last night when I was asleep.. (yes I finally slept!!)

Anyway, I was feeling criminal last night...

That is because I thought I had really lived my dream.. But anyway, I thought I had literally assasinated Bush... and shot off illegals during their Labor Day march...

--In a way I wish that really happened. But, all in all, I'm thankful it was just a dream...

Am I nuts.. or are there others that have dreams like me?

Aside from the pro-illegals, I don't care about you guys.. Why should I?

You're illegal, you can kiss my toe on the way back to "Ireland" <----- The 3% of illegals homeland...

....Okay.. they say this isn't a racial issue..

And it's not.. But when people specify illegals, they are speaking to those-- who just by "coinsedence" are of hispanic origin or descent..

...hmm, I wonder why that is?

..Yes, illegals aren't just made up of Mexican's...

however, according to the federal resources, roughly 92% of the illegals are of Mexican nationality.

So...ya, not all are Mexican's, but.. ya... 8% ???

Get real...

92% is a lot of Mexican Mo Fo's... What is that nearly 1/2 of Mexico?

Mexico is only 108 million strong. Since I'm gonna go with my statistics (having worked hand in hand with the government and their downsizing figures), that means there is really 60 mil. illegals.. 92% of 60 mil. is 54 mil.

That's that would conclude that literally 50% or 1/2 of the Mexican populace is currently in the country!

Which makes sense, if they are taking over.. Send 1/2, while the other stays here to protect the country...

What do you think?

My family and I are going to travel to my home country, the Philippines in 3 days and I've just received a letter from the INS stating that my application for removal of condition of status has been approved and that I should go to have my green card renewed. We will still have time to apply for renewal but what worries me is that now I am gonna have to travel outside the US without my actual green card. I've read forums about this saying that I will have my passport stamped that will show that my renewal of green card is under processing but I also saw that there were Filipinos that were denied to board their planes to go back to the US because they don't have an actual green card to show. Has anyone here actually traveled under the same circumstances? This really worries me so I was wondering if there are others out there who have experienced traveling while their green cards are under processing who can share me their experiences. Thanks in advance.
