Immigration - December 2006

Why is Mexico still struggling so much?

Mexican illegal aliens send millions (maybe billions) of dollars to their families back in Mexico.

Some of them work in the US for awhile to save up money and then go back to Mexico.

So why does it seem like they aren't getting any wealthier?

The elite Mexican wealthy are literally telling the USA to provide for the care of their Mexican poverty.

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."

Does that sound like an invitation to you ??

The Statue of Liberty was a gift to the people of the United States from the people of France. She stands in the middle of the harbor of New York City. She is a symbol of hope and freedom for immigrants. and it was placed in the New York harbor (were most immigrants came in ships) as a welcome to the land of freedom.

Reality of the matter is that we al ready have over 10 million MEXICANS here in the U.S., and realistically I don’t think much will be done about that. So should we take the Mexican State of Baja California as compensation for all of the social illegal immigration expenses that we as TAXPAYERS have to deal with?
we subtract the contributions from the expenses, it seems to be a NEGATIVE NUMBER. Meaning a negative contribution and we have to pick up the slack.

And this is what I think we should get compensation.
-Take into account that Baja California has 2 very large Coasts, plus it is a huge real estate, besides the natural resources that is possesses.

Note: If they don’t know how to use the resources at their disposal, maybe they should not have them!

We would not need to turn it into a State, because that would more than likely grant Citizenship to millions of Mexicans, instead we could turn it into a Colony or a U.S. Territory much like the Virgin Islands or Puerto RICO

Hi there,

I currently live in England, and was born here, but am seriously thinking of emigrating to Canada. I was just wondering whether it's really tough or do you think I'd stand a reasonable chance.

I did the test based on the fact that you have to have 60-odd points to get through, and just about scraped through, but this total could go up.

I don't have a degree, only college qualifications, and haven't got anything amazing to offer e.g. brain surgeon etc, but I'd love to move to somewhere like Edmonton.

Do you think I stand a chance or would I have to effectively go back to college/uni to even think about it?

Thanks.

I believe immigration bring alot benefits and opportunities to better USA we just need to control it in ways like recording who is in-out
by providing some type of ID OR fingerprints everytime some one enter USA. Main point is to have everyone on a database where they can be traceble for any reason

My friend (conditional permanent resident) was legally married to a girl (citizen). The girl's parents got the annulment of marriage from NY court. My friend is in chicago. He had replied to summons but the in laws didnt disclose it court. What should he do to vacate the decision? Will it affect his immigration status? Shouldnt court proceed for divorce if legal marriage was done (instead of annulment)? Please give yr legal advice. Thank you

reading in the newpaper yesterday, 18 cubans landed on the west coast of Florida that were headed to Miami, strong winds took them to west. They came to the US and are being allowed to stay! I strongly disargee. If you come to US soil/land illegaly, you should be sent back in 24 hours. it's not fair to our workers. immigrants don't pay taxes, social security, insurance, but when it comes time for them to collect Social security @ 65, they are the 1st in line. It's an outrage. These people were spotted by a sprimp boat driver on a Hwy walking soaked with ocean water, dehydrated and with hypothermia. They should get a hot meal, dry clothes and a ticket back to their country. What if it were an Arab or Chinese person, we would be worried about terrorism or the Avian/Chicken flu coming over with them. What's the difference? As a PROUD, strong Latino I'm going to have to disagree strongly with swimming or boating immigrants.

i think so , A U.S. legislator who backs tough anti-immigrant measures and more security at the Canada-U.S. border is warning Americans that President George W. Bush is plotting to integrate the continent.
Colorado Republican Tom Tancredo, revered by some U.S. conservatives for his efforts to staunch the flow of illegal immigrants from Mexico, said this week that Bush is a dangerous internationalist. He is going to do what he can to create a place where the idea of America is just that, it's an idea. It's not an actual place defined by borders. "I know this is dramatic, or maybe somebody would say overly dramatic. But I'm telling you that everything I see leads me to believe that this whole idea of the North American union, it's not something that's just written about by right-wing fringe kooks," said Tancredo, who is considering a run at the presidency. ( he will have my vote!) he wants to deport every undocumented worker in the United States.

Hispanic gang specialist, retired L.A. Sheriffs Sgt. Richard Valdemar told Full Disclosure Network™ "It is my duty as a Hispanic to talk about this (the illegal immigration issue) because you cannot, you would be called a racist." In a six minute video preview of part four of a four part Special Series of interviews, Sgt. Valdemar describes what it was like to work for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for 33 years while having to deal with legal and illegal Mexican immigrants
Illegals stay loyal to Mexico: Years ago illegal aliens who stayed in the country and made it their home, became loyal to the United States; now he says "they stay loyal to Mexico and they hate us."

Can We Stop the Decline of the United States? Sgt. Valdemar says Mexico is sending their problem to the U.S. demanding open borders. He says mass amnesty is not an option.

to help stem the tide of illegal immigrants? All they would have to do is sit there and notify immigration authorities if they spot anyone trying to cross. They would be solving a problem, doing something productive for the welfare payments they receive and would be serving their country. Social service workers could then be used as supervisors, to make sure the watch posts are manned. Additional expenses to the government would be minimal as both are already getting paid.
I have proposed this idea to all of my elected representatives. So far, not one response.

Who were our landscapers, construction workers, housekeepers, factory workers?

I am confused...I don't understand how people say that these are jobs Americans won't do. If I rememeber correctly...didn't all of these jobs also pay more as well?

I know that the factory that my husband works at use to pay $15.00 an hour to start...now the whole floor is mainly Hispanics working for $8.00 an hour.

The problem is supply and demand. If America does not demand it, Mexico will not supply it. Its only a few illegals that do the transport. Most is done by Americans themselves.

I have to be honest...I try...I really do. I know as a Christian it is not right for me to be against anyone that is moving to this country to find a better life.

But I just can't do it. I think that it is wrong. WRONG WRONG WRONG....

Is there anyone else that is having this same problem? I know what they did is wrong...but I also feel that as a Christian that it is my duty to love and accept all people. But, I just can't.
