Immigration - March 2007

Somebody please explain this to me. Too many states already link driver license duration to approved immigration stay. Then, each time the alien's stay is extended, s/he has to go back to the RMV/DMV, and they have to wait until they have an approval in hand even though legally they are in a valid status while the case to extend or change status is pending. Most people, including cops, DMV, RMV, and even customs agents (who are supposed to be experts) don't even understand the difference between a valid visa and a valid status, or between an overstay and an expired visa.

The only reason states can require a license to drive a motor vehicle is PUBLIC SAFETY. The fact that driver licenses have become a de facto ID card is IMMATERIAL, the document as written is relevant only for determining whether a person legally may operate a motor vehicle. Driver licenses do not convey any other right or privilege, whether immigration-related or not. The states should tell DHS to take a hike.

I looked through the newspaper and found they are filled with ads promoting legal aid lawyers and articles about the ACLU supporting illegal immigration. I have decided to take every copy every time I enter the store and use them to line the bottom of my bird cage. This is something I will do every single time I go to the store. What creative things can we all do to combat illegal immigration since our own govt. is spitting in our faces and working against the people that pay their salaries?

Assaults against Border Patrol officers rose 10 percent to 843 incidents in the year to September 2006 from the same period a year before, officials say. It is also a near three-fold increase from two years previously.

If somebody wanted to move from one country to another, what exactly has to be done. Obviously a passport is required, a flight needs to be caught. But I was wondering about visas or change of citizenship etc. If you were intending to spend the rest of your life in the country being moved to, you wouldn't want to have to keep getting yearly visas or whatever. So what is the proper way of doing this?

11 states oppose North American Union
Eagle Forum working with legislators to halt globalists' plans

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eleven states are working on resolutions that would oppose not only the implementation but the idea of a "North American Union," or other plans that would lead to the integration of the United States into a larger structure.

"Americans are rapidly learning the new vocabulary of the globalists," Phyllis Schlafly of Eagle Forum told WND, "and they don't like it."

While President Bush, many members of Congress, and Bush administration bureaucrats deny there are plans for a North American Union, under the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, those in state legislatures are taking no chances.

(Story continues below)

Already, 11 states have introduced resolutions to oppose the SPP, the NAU, and even the idea of the amero, a proposed currency that could be used to replace the dollar.

The resolutions also typically oppose the creation of North American Free Trade Act superhighways along the model of the Trans-Texas Corridor, the car-truck-train-pipeline corridor that is four football-fields wide and is being built parallel to Interstate 35 from Laredo, Texas to the border with Oklahoma, south of Oklahoma City.

Schlafly told WND that those lawmakers, and their constituents, are reacting against a wide range of concepts and structures being generated by the increasing pace of the integration of North America they see under the Bush administration.

"That's why state legislators are responding with resolutions criticizing a 'North American Community,' SPP, 'harmonization' of regulations, NAFTA superhighways, foreign-owned toll roads, totalization of Social Security, and speculation about the amero," Schlafly explained. "The groundswell is growing against measures that lead to 'economic integration' with other countries."

Schlafly also has joined with Howard Philips of the Conservative Caucus to create an organization specifically opposing the NAU and NAFTA superhighways.

"Phyllis Schlafly is doing a magnificent job leading the charge to oppose the North American integration at the state level," Phillips told WND. "Once again, we see the genius of Eagle Forum being able to communicate a message throughout America in terms that mobilize voters to take action."


American University Professor Robert Pastor

Robert Pastor is an American University professor who is using his book, "Toward a North American Community," to promote the development of a North American union as a regional government and the adoption of the amero as a common monetary currency to replace the dollar and the peso.

The resolutions are typically worded to oppose, in addition to SPP and the NAU, the construction of NAFTA Superhighways and the creation of the Amero as a North American unitary currency.

Owing to my USA visa expiration soon( 06/30/2007), if I have to go back my country in November( in this time, I will own a new DS-2019), I will apply the new USA visa in my country.
But I think I will spend much time applying it. I don't like that.
Therefore, I want to inquire---
Could I bring my new DS-2019 to apply the new USA visa in the US?
If it's ok, which institution will I go?

Thank you very much

Eleven illegal immigrants were "let go" by state patrol officers on I-40 in North Carolina, because there weren't enough officers to process them AND they had no avail. facilities to hold them!! So, the troopers were told to let them go! The immigrants even admitted to the troopers that they were here in The US illegally, but this made no difference. They were still allowed to pile back in their van, and drive off!

In their first major moves on immigration, state lawmakers on Thursday turned their attention to the Arizona-Mexico border amid sharp debate about whether their actions would make any difference.

The House of Representatives authorized the governor to deploy the Arizona National Guard to the border, set aside $10 million to pay for it and toughened trespassing laws to crack down on day laborers.

In the state Senate, lawmakers approved a Homeland Security Force that would be separate from the Arizona National Guard and free of any federal authority to commandeer it. Although envisioned as a local readiness force that could respond to anything from a flood to a bird-flu epidemic, it is widely viewed as a homegrown border patrol. advertisement




Thursday's votes represent the halfway mark for the bills; House-approved bills now move to the Senate, and vice versa.

The National Guard bill, House Bill 2766, reinforces the governor's existing power to deploy the National Guard in the event of an immigration-caused emergency. Its most controversial provision was a clause that stated the guard "does not need to retreat" - a direct response to an incident earlier this year in southeastern Arizona where a National Guard contingent from Tennessee withdrew from its post when a group of four armed men approached from the north.



Rep. Warde Nichols, the bill's sponsor, said he felt it was necessary to emphasize that the guard, if operating under the governor's control, would not need to retreat.

Democrats unsuccessfully pushed to have the phrase removed, saying the National Guard found the reference insulting.

And, any offense aside, Democrats argued that the reference is unnecessary, since Guard members have a duty to defend and can fire if they feel their lives are endangered.



The bill includes $10 million that the governor can use to pay for Guard costs.

The bill passed on a 38-15 vote, with seven members not voting. Several Democrats voted for the measure, including Rep. Pete Rios, D-Hayden, who said he intended to hold Nichols to his statement that he would consider amending the bill in the Senate to remove the "retreat" language.

The House also approved House Bill 2589, which would hike the penalties for trespassing in an attempt to discourage people from crowding street corners looking for work.

Mexico belongs to the Indians who were there first doesn't it? As I understand it, the indians who were there first are the most oppressed people in Mexico.

For my political science class i have to argue that all non-citizens of the united states should be deported. I don't know much about the immigration issue (one of the few which i have not made my mind up on), however i am certain that there are arguments for deporting all non-u.s. citizens from the country.

Does anyone know any good arguments for doing this (nothing racist please).

there is now no distinction between illegal migrants and legal migrants. when you see the home office report you begin questioning whether this issue is legitimate or its just politically correct just like global warming. personally i think is is bordering on racism. There is nothing that special about UK or USA every country recieves immigrants around the world. Ethiopia recieves the most immigrants as well syria. I dont see immigration making the headlines every flippin hour!!!

WASHINGTON - Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates told Congress on Wednesday that overhauls of the nation's schools and immigration laws are urgently needed to keep jobs from going overseas. "The U.S. cannot maintain its economic leadership unless our work force consists of people who have the knowledge and skills needed to drive innovation," Gates told the Senate committee that oversees labor and education issues.

Gates, whose charitable foundation has given away more than $3 billion since 1999 for educational programs and scholarships, noted that about 30 percent of U.S. ninth-graders fail to graduate on time. "As a nation, we should start with this goal: Every child in the United States graduating from high school," he said.

Gates also challenged lawmakers to push for higher educational standards and to make more challenging coursework available to students.

A federal study released last month showed about a third of high schoolers fail to take a

I had his wife-beating a** deported, then divorced him after 7 years of hell (he was in jail a lot of the time). I never pursued the issue for fear for my children's safety (remember "Not Without my Daughter"?). My children are 15 and 13, and are tops in school - my daughter would like to go to Yale - and I think it's time he paid up, if only for a little while. He is married now with his own kids, but I want him to contribute to his American childrens' futures. How do I start? Any avenues will be explored, thanks!
