Immigration - February 2007

La Raza claims all they want is truth and justice. Yet La Raza will not help Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean or their familes. Why would La Raza whom stand for civil rights and justice turn their backs on these border agents ? Do a search on their site for Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean you come up with nothing. Does it seems like La Raza has double standards?

The Myth of Immigrant Criminality and the Paradox of Assimilation: Incarceration Rates among Native and Foreign-Born Men: by Ruben G. Rumbaut, Ph.D. and Walter A. Ewing, Ph.D.
Because many immigrants to the United States, especially Mexicans and Central Americans, are young men who arrive with very low levels of formal education, popular stereotypes tend to associate them with higher rates of crime and
incarceration. However, data from the census and other sources show that for every ethnic group without exception, incarceration rates among young men are lowest for immigrants. This holds true especially for the Mexicans, Salvadorans, and Guatemalans who make up the bulk of the undocumented population. The problem of crime in the United States is not "caused" or even aggravated by immigrants. Among men age 18-39, the 3.5 percent incarration rate of the native-born in 2000 was 5 times higher than the 0.7 percent incarceration rate of the foreign-born.

If they are illegal and against the law for them to be here...why is our government making things so convenient for them? If the government can break laws ...why do we have laws?

She did not like me, but with time she realized that I really liked her. After A year and seven months we have had our arguments, but on Sunday I told her that I haven't been feeling the same with the college right around the corner. I had her finally, she told me she loved me she looked at me and cried because she was so happy with me. I felt like that at one point but when she expressed her feelings I was scared. I couldn't respond the same way without lying. After telling her that I didn't feel the same way, that something was missing she cried and told me to take two weeks to think about things. After an hour I was ok and told her not to worry about anything. Then on Tuesday I was being mean to her and she got mad. She told me to leave her house and I did, on the way home she told me that she had enough and that she didn't want to talk to me anymore. The next day I bought her a diamond ring and she didn't accept it, after she said no she told me that she realized she didn't love me

My wife is an American citizen and I am British. We married in November 2006 and filed our paperwork (I-130, I-485, I-864 & G-325A) to adjust my status to become a Permanent Resident in mid-November. I had my biometrics done in Cincinnati in December, we live in Kentucky, and around the same time we were told our case was being transferred to the California Service Centre. We haven't hears anything since. Does anyone know how long it takes to process the application and why it could be taking so long? Someone suggested it may be because we didn't file an I-765 EAD Petition or else it could be that they are waiting for a Visa Number, is this likely?

I am getting so frustrated so please only respond if you really know the answer.

I don't buy te argument hat they are doing jobs Americans won't. The truth is they're being exploited as cheaper labor. If employers were forced to higher workers who had the legal right to work in the US wages would go up.

Bush says 'we need a guest worker program, legalization but maybe not a path to citizenship'.

Well, whomever becomes a resident obviously automatically has a 'path to citizenship' so I don't see any change from his prior plan if he is just planning on putting in 'resident' instead of 'citizenship.'

He borrowed the line 'there aready is a path to citizenship' from Isaakson's bill.

Why do I think he is trying to color the ruffles and call it a different shirt?

What do you think of this?

A few people have posted questions involving Prosecutor of Ramos-Compean. Just came across this new news

http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewNation.asp?Page=/Nation/archive/200702/NAT20070228b.html

and related story
http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewNation.asp?Page=/Nation/archive/200702/NAT20070228c.html

the second article is about---
A paid Mexican informer for the U.S. government who worked in an undercover operation targeting a major narcotics cartel allegedly went off the rails and was involved in more than a dozen murders.

Apparently authorities were aware the informant was involved in one murder for sure, but did nothing about it. And guess who is in charge of this prosecution... once again Johnny Sutton.

There are some illegal immigrants out there that have been in this country since they were small. All they know is the "American Culture" and sending them back to Mexico, or wherever they came from would be torture since they have never lived there.
Some of these people would give their lives for this country because they have been here all their lives.
*Note* If kids of illegal immigrants are here illegally, its not their fault. And sending them back to their country after I dont know say 18years of being here, it takes them 10years to try and get a green card.
Would you think those type of illegals going and trying to join the military would be a good idea for them to get citizenship?
And before anwsering this put yourself in that situation.

I read so many stories or see on TV illegal immigrants waving their native flags {Mexico, Poland, etc} while demonstrating for rights in America. If illegals want benefits from America, should they be waving the American flag at these demonstrations because it is America!
