Immigration - December 2006

My grandmother is from Portugal and migrated to the U.S. in the 40s. Now I'm interested in getting dual citizenship before she "leaves us". What do I need to do? If it helps, I am living in Boston so if necessary, New York City is accessible.

What would you do to keep America free? Would you stand up for your country?

It obvious that people wouldnt come here if there wasnt work to be had illegaly . So maybe all the money that taxpayers are funding for a ,should be spent on workplace enforcement and enacting laws to tigten up the workplace . Heavy fines against employers would work to deter illegal immigration , as well as fund any programs which would aid in the enforcement of these.

Do they not realize that someone is going to have to pay for this?

Who do they think that it's going to be?

And DO NOT say that they will pay taxes. Their taxes DO NOT cover all of the cost that they put onto the states.

I see this kind of answers from the antis over and over.

WHO DO THEY GOT PERMISSION FROM, Not the natives and if you think getting permission from your own country to invade/populate another is valid then I don't know what else to tell you. The pilgrims in the mayflower DID NOT had permission from ANY AMERICAN to come here.

My illegal husbad says if I love him I would help him with his papers so he can have a better living and support us better. We are currently living separately, but he tells me constantly to help him get his papers. He treats me nice and tries to show how much he loves me so i don't think he's using me. I constantly hear stories of people in a similar situation only to find out that their partner cheated on them once they got the papers, so that is what scares me and is holding me back. Is it my insecurity, or should I trust him and help him? We're now at this point where he says if I don't help him it shows that I don't care about him and don't want a better life for him, so he will move farther away from me than choose to be with me. What do you think?

The situation is this. A couple came to the US on a temporary VISA,
and had a child here. The son is now a legal american citizen. THe
parents VISA ran out, and they are now illegal immigrants. THey were
refused another visa. The son is now 16 years old, not yet an adult.

Say the parents have been found out and are scheduled to be
deported. They wish to take their son with them back to their
homeland, but the son does not want to go back. He wishes to remain
on US soil and live his life here.

What happens then? WHo wins? The son or the parents. Shouldn't the
son win because he is a legal citizen, and no one has the right to
take him off of US soil if he does not wish it. However, on the flip
side, he is still not an adult.

So i want to know who would win? Logically i think the son should be
allowed to stay here, but knowing our immigration policies, there
probably is some ridiculous loophole where he is going to be forced
back to his homeland with his family.

Thanks.

Geez. I think some people on this forum just go around and mark peoples questions and answers with a thumbs down. Everyone has their own opinions. I don't care if your are against illegals or for them. Does anyone else see this problem going on? I get thumbs down for everything. Please respect my question and answer it nicely. I'm getting sick of rude comments.

Criminals are criminals; do not confuse them with illegal immigrants. If you do, don't forget to tell me the #'s of Americans in jail, in Gangs, in debt with hospitals. If that is the only argument you have, might as well admit you are a racist. If you want to include yourself in the racist club, than you have the right to include law breakers in the illegal immigrant club.

Employers don't want to pay citizens fair wages because there is a large supply of cheap foreign labor. If that supply dried up how would that effect the economy. Why not just hire citizens? There would be more competitive wages and the cities would be less overcrowded. Also, wouldn't companies still try to hire illegal employees, so they could drive wages back down?

a friend has heard that in order to get residency, the govt has made it harder, and requires "extreme hardship" on the part of the citizen/spouse. More so than say, being pregnant with their child and owning a business here in the US. Have you found that to be the case?

Millions (if not billions) of people would love to come to the USA to live. Millions totally ignore our laws and come here hoping for amnesty. What about the millions who are following the laws, paying the fees, and awaiting their turn to come here legally?

Would amnesty be a slap in their face?

As soon as the sun goes down, it is unsafe to go out alone. Salt Lake, Ogden, Provo, Orem....all filled with Mexican gangs. There are many places unsafe during the day.

Our Attorney General loves illegals and his argument is "We don't have enough room in our jails for them" so he does nothing...his name...Mark Shurtleff....who wept with great emotion upon meeting Vicente Fox, his hero.

Meanwhile, legal citizens live in fear....places where you never locked your house or cars only 3 years ago are battle zones today...the cancer spreads.
