Immigration - September 2006

Last month, I had to take my wife to the emergency room at the local hospital. She was in alot of pain from, what turned out to be, her appendix. So, we're in the waiting room for 2 hours waiting to see a doctor. During that 2 hours, at least 5 immigrants, who didn't even speak English AND didn't have any health insurance, were seen by doctors before my wife. I pay my taxes, we have health insurance and they didn't even give my wife any medication for her pain. If this happened to you, as an American, how would you feel? I feel totally betrayed by our politicians and health care system....It's an absolute disgrace !!!

Would you pick the so called "hard working and soulful" illegals or would you find some legal Americans? Your interest is to build and creatge a law abiding society. this question is meant to display the real importance of illegals in this country.

We read and hear about national security constantly. Lawmakers are interested in changing immigration law. How do you feel changes to immigration law can improve our national security? Are national security and immigration law linked together? What specific changes do you feel can be made in order to ensure US safety and security? Presentation on Monday. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you!

Did you know about the existence of a (not so) tiny country south of your border where 75% of the people are not (me included) in the least interested in migrating to your country, simply out of self-respect? And that many of us here make a decent living?

If you hate Mexico and Mexicans SO MUCH, why do you keep coming here? Build your damn fence/wall and live your "wonderful lives" at home!!!

And don't say we depend on you, cause you also depend on us, we're symbiotically united.

dont assimilate by learning the language that our majority speaks...do you also get made when people bring their traditional dress to the US? Like women from India...or Arab women in their robes...should they assimilate in that way too? Get them all some T-shirts and jeans?

As more and more states pile on the immigration enforcement bandwagon, do you think it'll mean enough support to carry it over the top and get the border fence finished?

I moved to United States a year ago on H1-B visa. I and my Wife both are Indians and are expecting a baby in March 2007 and we need to make a decision about where to have the baby born (In the USA or in India). We do not plan to stay back or settle down in USA for more than a year or 2 years from now.

After having gone through some of the threads in this forum, I understand that if the baby is born here in the US, automatically baby becomes US citizen and we need to get a birth certificate, SSN and passport from US administration and a PIO or OCI status from Indian Embassy.

Following are some of my questions:
1) What is the difference between PIO and OCI?
2) Is it possible to apply for PIO or OCI from here in USA? We live in Dallas, Texas. So, where to apply for PIO or OCI?
3) I remember reading somewhere that if we have a PIO for the baby, we need to visit the comissioner of police (In India) every year to renew the PIO status. Is it true? And, is this not required in case of OCI?
4) Some of my concerns of having the baby here are:

- Since we are planning to move back, what will be the cost of education for the child in India? Will it be same as any other child _OR_ will it be more than the normal fees since the child is a citizen of other country and holding a PIO/OCI status.
- Is it required to renew the US passport or is it valid for life? If we need to renew it, are we required to travel to the USA just for renewing it? _OR_ can we get it done in India itself?
- Are there any advantages in terms of higher studies for US citizens? _OR_ do they have to go through the regular admission procedure like all the Indian students go through since the student never studied in the USA for 18 years? I heard that the education in the US till high school is free(?), but if the child wants to do higher studies in US, are there any advantages over the Indian students applying for higher studies (like the fees, getting a seat in the university etc)

There are lot of other concerns, but this is what I could wrap up for now. Please reply. I really appreciate your replies and eagerly waiting for replies.

This is what happens with amnesty in absence of border security and enforcement in my opinion.

What do you think?

And what do you think of France's response: " You can't give amnesty to 500,000 illegal immigrants and then shout for help!"

"Spain had granted a legal amnesty last year to hundreds of thousands of formerly illegal immigrants. The Government's change in direction comes in response to unprecedented numbers of people arriving by boat in Spain's Canary Islands from sub-Saharan Africa.

Some 24,000 would-be immigrants have arrived in the first eight months of this year, compared with just 4751 during 2005. More than 1300 have arrived in the past week alone."
