Immigration - February 2007

I am undocumented in America and although I've payed taxes etc. since I got here I don't that anybody should get a free ride or an automatic visa after coming here illegally. Saying that, I've built my life here and I'm not going to go home just because you say so. So what do you think of this solution?

Build the wall and secure your borders so the flow can be slowed.

A person born in the US only obtains citizen ship if they are a decendant of a US citizen (grandparent etc.)

Mass deportation isn't feasible- $10,000 fine payable over 5 years for an illegal immigrant making them elligible for a workers visa. (Straight away $110,000,000,000 in revenue to pay for securing your borders) Leave them inelligible for government aid (SS or medicare) until at least 5 years of taxes have been payed. If a person isn't contributing to society, they don't deserve to benefit from it.

English must be learned, and an exam passed before visa is granted.

What do you think?

I learned that this law was enacted with the spirit of granting african americans that were slaves a means of gettiing automatic citizenship since they were already here, not a meas of anyone getting citizenship. any thoughts on this

The US gives the Mexican government an ultimatum: Either you do something about the unending flow of people from your country crossing the border illegally into our country, or we invade and take over the Baja California peninsula. There are only about 3-4 million people living there, and they can be deported across the Colorado River to the Mexican state of Sonora. The Baja California peninsula is a huge piece of land with hundreds of miles of beautiful coastline. We could encourage development there, and eventually turn it into the 51st US state. So, end result: either illegal immigration from Mexico ends (win), or we take over a big piece of new territory from Mexico (win) and use the military to deport the Mexicans from this new territory as well as the rest of the US (win).

Thoughts?

The U.S. media usually portrays immigrants from Mexico as low-lifes that are coming to California to get on government programs or send money back to Mexico, but the majority of immigrants from Mexico don't do that. I know there are illegal immigrants that just want to take advantage of what California has to offer. I'm not talking about illegals. Do Californians really think legal immigrants from Mexico are causing that much of a problem for them? My theory is that liberals want to make this seem like a bigger problem than it really is in order to make it appear to the public that George W. Bush doesn't care about controlling immigration.

Asking this question in reference to an answer to my other question. Pro illegal (very, very pro illegal) wrote:


"You know we may choose to conveniently "forget" the past. We may try to lamely justify it. Regardless, God is keeping score. The Bible says the children will pay for the sins of their Fathers. But I suppose you think God's word doesn't apply to us either. After all we're WHITE & untouchable, right? Regardless of our own humble opinions it seems what goes around comes around."


Isnt it the truth here???.. Can we all agree that yes, ideed, Illegal invasion is a Punishment of god for owr sins??. We thought we are white (i am not, but what the hell) and untouchable, but gods thought diggerently.

Just a debate down there -

Q: Our ancestors came here, So other people can come here as well.

A: Ancestors came into uncivilized land and colonized it. It was uncivilized, undeveloped and barely inhabited.

Q: Noone complyed with immigration laws back then, they came w/o visas.
A: Hello, there were no laws, no constitution of native america. The land was Conquered, period. Native amricans resisted colonization and actually killed bunch of britons. Should we wage a war against Mexico, following this logic.?.


And since Mexicanos so much like to migrate, why dont they migrate to the south???..To "Colonize" central amerika, Just to be like owr ancestors (Actually not mine, heh). But yeah!

Asking this question in reference to this answer I read to another question:

"The more important question is, why are the United States and Mexico so different? Why is it that we have so much more than Mexico? Did the Pilgrims just happen to land in the richest country the world has ever known? Or did they CREATE the richest country the world has ever known? Perhaps if Mexicans turned their energy inward, and fixed what's wrong with their own country, there wouldn't be any need to leave it. I'd go as far as to suggest that conditions in Mexico would improve if we shut down the border, and shipped back all the illegals. Then the problem becomes simple. Either the Mexicans fix Mexico, or they starve to death. I think they're smart enough to do what they have to do, if they no longer have the option of running away from it."

DOES ANYONE ELSE BUT ME SEE THE FLAW IN THIS LOGIC? THE PILGRIMS WOULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED THE FIRST WINTER HERE WITHOUT THE HELP OF THE NATIVE AMERICANS.

but not with the flags of other immigrants who have been here, some for hundreds of years, how do we justify that?

One of my best friends is married to a Scottish guy who...by the way...is now illegal because he over-stayed his visa to be with her. They fly the Scottish flag in front of their home. No one has ever complained. No one who sees him in the street is yelling at him to go home. I wonder why? Oh, yeah, it's because he's White. He blends in better. He speaks the language. So that makes it ok, right? People try to say it's not a racist thing, it's not a cultural thing but if they REALLY believe that they are lying to themselves. Go to New York City. Go look at Chinatown. I'm sure you'll see a Chinese flag or two. Go look at Little Italy. Italian flag flying high for all the world to see. No problems. No complaints. No controversy.
