Immigration - April 2007

Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1824.

The U.S. became independent in 1776

That means that Mexico is only 48 years younger than the U.S.

What happened?

Why is Mexico far more than 48 years behind the U.S. and far behind many countries that are even younger than Mexico?

We know that it took Mexico until 1862 to kick the French out of Puebla, but why hasn't the economy of Mexico developed enough for them to stop being a third-world country?

They have far more natural resources than many other countries that have modern industrialized economies anyway.

Their two separate and very long coastlines are the envy of many land-locked countries.

I'm perplexed!

Did their revolution really take?

Or did it flop?

I never thought there is a substantial problem with illegal Philipinos before. It seems to be made up of people who visit legal residents and overstay their visas. I don't like their bayanihan culture arguement of helping others no matter what. If your in America, you need to follow our laws and culture over there own. I'm concern because the Philipinos are well organized in illegally helping legal immigrants get to the US. My Philipino friends use to tell they know people who would buy college degrees and that there is a network to help cheat to gain licenses in the United States. I wouldn't want them to use the same organizational skills to spur another wave of illegal immigration, especially with how wide spread their licensing scam is. I've seen a huge problem in the Medical facilities because of it. By the way,My friends don't like the law breakers because it make them look bad.

I'm planning to visit the U.S. this year and I am under a pending immigrant petition (made by my dad--a green card holder). Can I obtain a tourist visa despite of my present pending status?

I am 22, single and a registered nurse (which makes me a candidate for tourist visa denial, I guess)....

State and local education officials, citing safety concerns and potential financial penalties for schools, urged students Sunday to shun this week's May Day immigration reform marches and stay in class.

The Tuesday demonstrations include a downtown Los Angeles rally that local transportation and law enforcement officials anticipate could draw as many as 500,000 participants. Although that would be smaller than the roughly 650,000 who showed up at last year's May Day march, it would be the area's biggest immigration rally this year. And it threatens traffic tie-ups that have prompted officials to urge the public to avoid downtown.

State Supt. of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell, who appeared at a news conference with Los Angeles schools Supt. David Brewer and other local officials, said it was more important for students to be in class than to demonstrate. He urged educators to consider the day "a teachable moment" to address immigration and related issues.

Do you think that polititians are waiting until after election time to show that they are truly against "ILLEGAL" immigration? What do you think is in the works... because although we have caniving people running the country... they are not dumb... Just because America hasn't showed what we are capable of, doesn't mean nothings being done... Again, people... Let's not underestemate "Legal American Citizens"!!! The Sh^t will eventually hit the fan with the illegals doing all of their protesting on our soil. All that is doing is making the ticking time bomb tick faster!!!

When were us English folk ever asked if we wanted to live in a multicultural society? Was there ever a referendum over mass immigration? Did the Labour Party´s 1997 manifesto clearly state that they were going to open our borders to millions of people?
Why is anybody who asks questions like mine, labelled a racist or some other such term in order to stifle debate? Will this all end in tears, like Yugoslavia?

Your thoughts, folks?

People a green card is just a proof of being a permanent resident. It being expired has no effect on your legal status. This is clearly stated by the USCIS. Not renewing your green card does not make you an illegal but is still unwise to do. It is the same as if a US Citizen had an expired passport. It is just pieces of paper that are proof but not the gospel itself.

People are so crazy when at comes to emigrants , This nation has always been know to be racist and this is a good example of it . Just cause you don't have a piece of paper or a green card doesn't mean you are a criminal in fact at might mean you are a hard worker and like the freedom we all share.
Why do we let child molesters free on bond while we gather all of does that doesn't have papers to show there status and deport them without any lean of time.
We treat immigrants worse then criminals , you can molest a child or commit a murder and be on the streets free on bond but the illegal don't have that chance , they gather them like animals and lets not talk of how many of them have die for this great country. Shame on you .

We complain when terrorists use their children as their shields. These ilegal aliens and their supporters are no morally better than the terrorists in indoctrinating children for their illegal cause.
Why are law breaking parents giving us hogwash about having to separate from their children when they get deported? Maybe these school dropouts or too uneducated parents don't realize that it's more important for them and it is a parent's duty to bring their kids back with them to raise than leave them behind in the US. Many skilled foreigners and non-law breakers, legally here on H1 or short-term visas or tourist visas don't leave their children behind upon returning home.. Many have babies born here. Are the illegal aliens and their supporters too stupid too realize that those kids born in America don't completely lose their American citizenship. These kids can always opt to return to the US whenever they wish. It's their problem for want to leave their children behind, not the US!
