Immigration - March 2007

How do you feel that in a couple of weeks the Mexican border will be swung wide open to 50,000 semi trucks and their drivers with no possible way of documenting them all? There goes the trucking industry too. They will not stop till they've tapped every resource we have here and will break the US.

To me is harassment & racist. I have Mexican friends & I am white. Mexico is not the ONLY country that cross the border. Example like Cuba,Russians,Middle Eastern,BRITISH,Chinese,Koreans, & friends from the north which is Canada. Why not them???

They will never see that money again. But they do pay into the system. They do deserve all the other free stuff they supposely receive.

Do this just before you sit down to eat. Remember that most of the food on your table was pick, washed and packed by an undocumented worker.

I am a second generation Ukrainian (ie: my grandfather came over from Ukraine.) and was born/live in Canada. I was just wondering if there is anyway for me to apply for a Ukrainian passport/citizenship if he still has his papers. If so, how would I generally go about getting it?

I also believe he has Canadian citizenship; although I am not sure if that would make a difference…

So if anyone has any information regarding this, I would really appreciate it. Thanks^-^

Does anyone know if the illegals are planning on a big march like they did in either May or June of last year? if so why have'nt the news media started hyping the big day of the event? I think it was called "A Day Without Illegals" or something similar?

Thanks for the help!

They might have taken or obtain the SSN illegaly, but they do pay into a system that they will not be able to receive the benefits of those that pay it legally. By the way, Social Security is in a doomed future and if it were not by the illegals paying into it, you who sit around receiving payment, would be S.O.L.

ISN'T IT IRONIC? THAT THOUSANDS OF OUR "TRUE AMERICAN" SOLDIERS ARE FIGHTING OVERSEAS, WHILE BOATLOADS OF IMMIGRANTS INFILTRATE OUR COUNTRY? Which is supported by Obama.
WE ARE BECOMING THIRD-WORLD AT AN EXTREMELY HIGH RATE WITH ALL OF THE SCAVENGING IMMIGRANTS. WHICH MEANS DIFFERENT BELIEFS, AND MORE PEOPLE TO WORRY ABOUT OFFENDING.
The Media loves Democrats because they create drama, and that sells.
EITHER WAY, SUPPORT YOUR COUNTRY, WOULD YOU RATHER LIVE SOMEWHERE ELSE? I DIDN'T THINK SO.

ANYWAYS, MY QUESTION
What can we do as True American citizens to unite the good people of our country to form a government that does the right thing (not politically correct) and save our country from it's corrupt ways?

I mean, come on, we will just build tunnels under it and if it comes down to it, we'll blow a hole in it and come in yelling "Libertad" and "Muerte al imperialismo!!!"

And anyway, it's not going to get built, the U.S. has too much money invested in the drug industry.

There are so many other immigrants (illegal) in this country: africans, asians, middle easterns, eastern europeans, that are stuggling just as much as the hispanic community (ie sweatshops, illegal trafficking). Who or when will these people get their representation, cause the NAACP won't do it!

I live in El Paso TX, and everyday about 10,000 Mexican residents cross the border to work on this side. It's driven the job market to the point where you have to speak Spanish, be Mexican and/or know somebody to get a job. I can't even get a scholarship because they've all been given to Mexican residents! Is it just me, or is this illegal? And if it isn't, should it be?

MORELIA, MEXICO — As many as half the citizens of the home state of Mexican President Felipe Calderon are believed to be working in the United States. So it was no great surprise when Calderon revealed recently that among Michoacan's migrants were some of his own kin.

What's odd is that apparently no one here in Calderon's hometown, not even his family, seems to know who they are.

"I don't know of any relative that is or has been in the United States," said Luis Gabriel Calderon Hinojosa, a physician and the president's eldest brother. "There are more than 100 cousins and we're all over the place. Maybe, by chance, there's someone on the other side."

At an international news conference with President Bush last week, Calderon said that he had relatives working in the fields, "probably handling the vegetables you eat." He cited them, as he had during last year's presidential campaign, to urge a new U.S. immigration accord and more investment in the Mexican economy to slow the expatriate flow.

"I hope one day I can see them, greet them, hug them," Calderon told Bush and reporters.

Calderon's poignant revelation that he had family working the lowest rungs of the U.S. labor market triggered a brief media stampede to find out who they were. Later, his office said it would not reveal any names, to protect the relatives' privacy.

Many in this state capital, including Calderon's former high school teacher, were puzzled by the news.

"The Calderons are not farmers," said Father Eliseo Albor, who taught the president and three of his four siblings at the private Instituto Valladolid. "They don't have the need to cross the border…. They've done well. They've got good jobs."

A cadre of presidential police guard the home where Calderon grew up and where his mother, Maria del Carmen Hinojosa de Calderon, still lives. It is a walled, three-story stucco house in an aging but upscale neighborhood. The president's late father was a founder of Calderon's National Action Party, known as PAN.

The state PAN president, Francisco Javier Morelos Borja, said he didn't doubt Calderon's claim. "Nearly all of us have someone abroad," he said. Maybe they're relatives of Calderon's mother, from Puruandiro, he said. The town of about 65,000 has one of the state's highest emigration rates.

Morelia Mayor Salvador Lopez Ordu–a has been pals with Calderon since childhood and grew up on the next block.

"I'm sure they have relatives who are migrants," said Lopez, who's seeking the PAN nomination for governor. "They could be from Puruandiro, or if not, some other pueblo. I don't know of anyone, personally, but I'm sure it's true."

In Puruandiro, a 90-minute drive north of Morelia, signs of the region's longtime migration patterns are everywhere: pickup trucks with U.S. license plates. The town is small enough for people to know where to find a Calderon relative.

"Yes, we're cousins," said Jesus Madrigal Hinojosa, the owner of an auto repair shop. "But I don't know of any relatives living in the United States."

Calderon's description of relatives working with lettuce and other vegetables suggests they would be in California, which supplies most of the nation. Tens of thousands of Mexican immigrants work fields in the Imperial Valley, the Oxnard Plain and the Salinas Valley, as well as the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys.

Michoacan has supplied California with field hands for generations. But a brief survey of passersby in Morelia's main plaza revealed the reach of their relatives' work abroad: New York high-rise construction, San Jose tiling, Los Angeles roofing, Oregon logging, Sacramento fruit packing and New Jersey factory work.

Shoeshine man Gabriel Ortega Zarco, 55, said eight of his 10 children are working illegally in New Jersey. "My kids tell me to meet them up north, but I'm too old for that," he said. "The last time I was up there I froze" for three days.

Nearby, Father Gabriel Ruiz, a parish priest, said he had known the Calderon family for six years but didn't know about any relatives living in the United States. The president's mother attends Mass two or three times a week in Our Lady of Fatima parish. "She's very reserved, never talks," he said, "so I wouldn't know much."

Juan Luis Calderon, a civil engineer described by the president in his biography as his closest sibling, heads the local water agency. The mayor's office called to arrange for a interview with him Tuesday to clear up the matter. He tentatively agreed.

Later on Tuesday, however, Juan Luis Calderon's secretary said her boss could not make the meeting. And on Wednesday, she said he would be busy the rest of the week.
