Immigration - August 2006

"The debate over illegal immigration heated up Sunday in the small New Jersey town of Riverside, with close to a thousand people taking to the streets.

The occasion was a protest against a township ordinance adopted last month that bans the hiring and housing of people who can't offer verification that they are in the U.S. legally.

Hundreds of protesters gathered in front of the Riverside Township Municipal Building during the afternoon, while several hundred massed across the street as part of a counter protest."

"Both the Riverside and Hazleton ordinances have been challenged in federal court. The challenge to the Riverside ordinance contends that the town is assuming powers that more rightfully rest with the federal government.

Residents of Riverside and township officials say the ordinance targets illegality, not immigrants. Gary Christopher, chairman of the local planning board, said there is nothing wrong with "making it uncomfortable to be illegal."

they deserve a fair trial just like all people in the united states.

they deserve to have their rights read to them in an understandable manner, a trial, and a speedy one i might add, and a verdict decided by their piers

all criminals other than illegals, citizens or not, get a fair trial. why not them?

Why should Illegals with children get Special treatment? When a person breaks the law Knowingly they accept the risk of getting caught. If you have a family in America and ROB a bank or committee any type of crime. The justice system doesn't go O wait you have a KID we can't send you to prison and seperate you from your child that wouldn't be right. So why do Illegals Expect Special treatment? That lady in Chicage is attempting to use her kid as reason to stay. That's Exactly the same as ANY other criminal attempting to use there kid to stay out of Prison. It doesn't work for LEGAL: citizens and it certainly shouldn't apply to Illegals.

I've been saying there is no sanctuary and that hiding illegals is illegal, and here is an article saying earlier people involved with churches in 'the sanctuary movement' [there is a 'sanctuary movement?'] were arrested for it previously.

"Some churches across the country are quietly giving sanctuary to illegal immigrants trying to keep their families from being torn apart by deportation, said Fife, leader of the Sanctuary movement, which sheltered thousands of Central American civil war refugees in American churches and synagogues more than 20 years ago.
None of the churches are in Tucson, he said.
In 1986, Fife and seven others in the Sanctuary movement were convicted on federal charges of transporting and concealing illegal entrants. He received five years' probation. "

What do you think?

Is it true that when a US citizen turns 18 years old and their parents are not citizens, they can ask for their parents to become citizens?

Sorry if the question is hard to understand.

12.4% of the US population is immigrants (not sure if that is legal only or all). Income inequality (on a quintile basis) has been rising. To what extent is income inequality driven by a significant number of entrants (I'm making an assumption here) at the lower end of the income spectrum?

By not closing this loophole, the federal government in effect rewards law-breakers and punishes those who have chosen to follow the rules and immigrate legally. Allowing illegal aliens to give birth to American citizens, in effect, makes citizenship a license for welfare.

I don't care what nationality people are. I do care that people think this is acceptable behavior. What are your thoughts?

this country was founded on immigrants, also this country isnt even reall ours, it belongs to the native americans, maybe WE should go back to Europe and quit telling spanish people to get out of texas and cali(which was actually theres first) and stop telling black people to go to africa when WE'RE the ones who brought them here. I think white people and muslems are the sourse of EVERY SINGLE problem in the world. Dou you agree?

""We will continue to express ourselves with more marches, with voter registration drives, with action until we get favorable reform."

Lopez's group is joining a national campaign to survey the opinions of 1 million immigrants, seeking to get their input into Congress' immigration reform debate.

The 18-question Spanish-language survey asks about how people should be able to obtain legal status, guest worker programs and criminal penalties for employers of illegal immigrants.

Lopez said immigrants plan a series of demonstrations, starting on Labor Day, which they hope can match the turnout of rallies that drew hundreds of thousands in Los Angeles and other cities this spring.

Delegates discussed other issues of concern to immigrants: illnesses caused by pollution in the San Joaquin Valley, protecting day labor centers and reviving driver's licenses for illegal immigrants.
