Immigration - March 2007

Two truckers were arrested and a "drop house" was raided in immigrant smuggling cases in the El Paso area this week, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman said on Friday.
On Wednesday morning, the Border Enforcement Security Task Force, or BEST, stopped two 18-wheelers on Interstate 10 near Vado after agents spotted the drivers letting two men into one cab and another man into the other cab at a truck stop, ICE spokeswoman Leticia Zamarripa said.

The three immigrants, found hiding in the sleeper sections, told investigators they each paid $1,800 to be smuggled to Los Angeles. Truck drivers Julio Cesar Cazabal Gutierrez, 34, and Javier Nolasco Sanchez, 26, were arrested on charges of conspiracy to transport undocumented aliens, which is punishable by up to five years in prison.

On Tuesday, ICE agents discovered 16 immigrants in an apartment in the 1100 block of Seventh Street in El Paso's Segundo Barrio, officials said. Agents arrested alleged smugglers Iris Guereca, 20, of El Paso, and Rene Raul Taylor Lopez, 20,
and Francisco Alejandro Lopez Vasquez, 21, who are Mexican citizens in the U.S. illegally.
The immigrants were from the Mexico City area and paid $1,500 to $2,000 to be taken to California, Wisconsin and other states, officials said.

Most of the immigrants were returned to Mexico.

I read that they are were only certain specialty jobs that the H1B was good for. How can a immagrant holding a H1B visa be a supervisor at a large factory were all of the rest of the supervisors barely have a high school diploma and none have a college degree.

Isn't this a illegal act for the company and the visa holder?

As much as Americans can be proud of their country, they also have their short falls like hunger, poverty, infant death due to malnutrition, child molestation and every singly crime possible under the sun and still find time to blame the Undocumented for their country not being as perfect as the U.S.A.

I know according to them its the best place in the world, yet they will sell their first born, lose a limb, or sell their soul to whomever just to get to the gringoland. Instead why dont they revolt make changes, try to better themselves and their country. Create a strong central government, show the world you can operate factories, clean up you villages, create an honest police force, I could go on and on, you should get the point.......Oh yeah, If all you love it as much as you seem you do, isnt it at least worth trying?

My fiance has been working in the U.S. for a few years with his H1B (also just had it renewed), and we'll be getting married this June. Are there any more steps that we need to take before getting married, or is the filing for residency done after the marriage? Does anyone know if there is more paperwork to be done beforehand? Thank you in advance for all your help.

American forces anymore?

Or maybe they just want to target innocent children an unarrmed men walking through a desert looking for a better life for them and their families?

And by the way, American employers owned by American people are in great need of these innocent immigrants.

Please, tell me. If they are so desperate to come here, why wave their flag and bash the political leaders? I have never understood this. It benumbs me, when they complain about their country or something, and then come here, perhaps illegally, perhaps not, and wave their native country's flag around. I'm sorry but this is America. The ONLY flag that should wave here is Old Glory. Not Mexico's, not England's, not Cuba's, not France's. It's very simple. They chose to come here, and take advantage of our beloved country and then want to complain about it. Why?


Thank you for ansering. It just pains me to see this.

Stupid people always hear the word immigrant and they think of Mexico, why don't they associate it with any other cultures? And why do people assume all Mexicans are poor people with lot's of babies they can't feed.

She lives with some of our family members and both her parents have died. Unfortunately, she has been physically abused and she has only an elementary-school education. It is very hard for her to get into school because she has passed the age requirements and her home situation isn't helping: she does nothing all day and she hasn't left her house in more than a year. She's a wonderful young woman who's had her share of trials and she desperately wants to go back to school. I would like her to be able to live in the US with me... is there any way for me to adopt her even though she is an adult? What immigration concerns should I be aware of? Even if I can't adopt, does anyone have any suggestions?

In poorer nations, why should people have kids if they cannot support them. It doesn't seem fair to burden the child like that. Not to mention everyone else. I can see having one kid, because children are the future and wonderful, but after one. If you can't support kids, you shouldn't have them. Why should you burden the world like that.

If every illegal were to get amnesty with history showing any amnesty only encourages further illegal immigration and more amnesties will be called for. Any guest worker program will result in future people overstaying them and again another amnesty will be called for. How many amnesties can America afford to give ?

It always happens when someone speaks up about the perils of immigration - Enoch Powell, Michael Howard, Andrew Green (Migration Watch)...
Why has a gag been put on those who speak up against immigration, why are they ridiculed and termed as a racist just for speaking how they feel. Must we all have the same pro-immigration mindset or risk being an inferior???

When I say “Immigrants" I am talking about “Legal Mexicans"
Lave the Illegal or undocumented fellows beside for a minute, and think about it.

I have an online friend who says she has lived in the U S for 15 years. She also has a child who was born there. She is married, but her husband wants to keep the child and send her back to her country of origin. She thinks she has to leave the US and her child. Is this true? And what could/should she do to legally stay permanently?
Her husband controls the money too - Where can she get free help?
