Immigration - February 2007

Rosanna Pulido, Illinois spokesperson for You Don't Speak for Me, a national coalition of American Hispanics who oppose illegal immigration, states, "Actually Elvira Arellano is a testament to the utter failure of the Mexican government. Because of widespread corruption, the government of Mexico has consistently failed to provide economic opportunity to millions of Mexican people and encourages them to violate U.S. immigration laws. The Mexican government could care less about people like Ms. Arellano. What they are really here to protect is the $23 billion a year that the millions of Mexicans living in the U.S. send home to Mexico," Pulido charged.

English is the most widely used language because of its simplicity and efficiency, which is good when writing scientific reports or conducting international trade.

Yet English sorely lacks in the esthetics area, because a verbal language doesn't have the means to express the nuances in feelings and descriptions. English lacks adjectives and adverbs, when compared to most other languages.

Also, while the syntax of English as is used now is simple and easy to learn, it becomes limitting when trying to express complex ideas. And it doesn't even have a proper subjunctive tense, the tense of dreams, projects and wishes.

Not to mention that phonetically English has a sound akin to grunts, when compared to more melodious tongues.

Wouldn't it change the mentality of the Anglophones, a mentality of efficiency, greed and war, into a more amiable one, more giving to collaboration instead of competition and peace instead of invasion, if they learned a second, less warlike language?

My wife an I have been married for a year now, she is a U.S citizen but i am not, we have not filed any document to adjust my status to get a green card and all that. We are in NY state but the speculation is that it takes longer to process the green card application in NY. We are looking to relocate to another state....
Does any one know which state process the green card application faster? I heard Texas does it between 3-6months...
Any thoughts on this??

We know exactly where one cow with mad-cow-disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in America , but we haven't a clue as to where thousands of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located. Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of immigration.

It seems if you are an American and have generations of history in this country , You have less rights than a fresh immigrant ( No matter what the immigrant did in the past ). And if you stand up for your rights as an American , The government will shut certain Americans down calling it discrimination .

I think an immigrant should live in this country for a test period of at least 1 year . If they are not gainfully employed ( paying taxes , Not taking taxes ) and following our laws and show they want to be here ...Then they can become citizens . If not deport them and let them be a burden to their country .

The one common statement I hear are immigrants saying . " Stupid Americans" .

Are we?

What do you think ?

I'm torn right now but I have a "friend" that claims he purchased a one-way ticket to South Africa due to him not knowing how long his visit will be there and now he's stranded due to running out of money to get back home to London. Has anyone else been fed this line? I believe I'm involved in a romance scam and I'm torn emotionally because my heart is involved. I find it very ODD that his family or friends won't help him and he's totally dependant on me.

Please share advice or your story. Thanks.

One of things that really bothers me about illegals, is that my taxes go towards health care, education, etc for those that are not here legally and not paying into taxes. Also, no SS= no support after retirement (or at least, only what they paid in if any) My solution is that there should be some sort of option box on tax returns for those that want to support these items could pay extra taxes and those of us that do not, would get a break. Once the fund was gone, the same supporters could be called upon to give more to help. A win-win-win situation. The illegls stay (providing they have never been/are not currently criminals), the people that support illegal immigration get a chance to step up and put their money where there mouth is, and those of us that do not want to pay all of the extra costs associated with those that are not paying their way, do not have to. What do you think?

My sister has been together with her boyfriend who's Albanian for the last 3 years. They live together and are very much in love.
He came to this country at 15, since then he's been studying and working up until now, he's 23. All this time he's been waiting for a decision from the home office , living his life in limbo... however recently the home office arranged an interview for which a lot of his friends including myself wrote letter supporting him, he truly is a great person, hard working, fair and decent. He told me that he was quite disappointed at the little regard they paid at the letters and that he had a bad feeling about the whole thing. My sister called me in tears today saying that he received a letter from the home office ordering him not to move from his address and go to an interview on the 5th of March if he doesn't oblige then he will get arrested. It sounds like he will be deported. My sister and him are devastated... iIs all this fair?
