Immigration - May 2007

What ever happened to "We The People"!!! How can 1 "tiney" group of people decide what the American citizens want in regards to illegal immigration? Do we not have a voice anymore??? We will see June 14th - 16th. Do you really think this bill will ever pass!!! I sure don't!!! I've read a few comments on how 1 million Mexicans showing up to a rally is proof that Mexicans are strong enough to take our land! LOL!!! What about millions & millions & millions of American citizens that greatly out number the illegal Mexicans & their supporters. It will be an eye opening moment when they see our turnout compaired to theirs!!! We The People Will Have Spoken!!! http://www.lframerica.com/march2.html

If Teddy Roosevelt were alive today, and was planning to address Congress tomorrow, what do you think he would say to them?

I would like to hear from anyone following the immigration issue, wether you are white, black or hispanic, legal or illegal.

What is the % of hispanics who believe in ideas like "atzlan" or "la raza".

What if anything do these mean and are they in any way significant or relevent to the immigration debate? Thanks!

Doing the math, that's 1 million people who have entered this country illegally having a criminal record. What kinds of crimes have they committed? Who knows, we'll never know.
And thanks to this new bill, that's 1 million more people added to a growing list of criminals in this country.

Jobs?

I am a professional but many of my friends, family and townspeople are laborers. Most of the people I know probably fit into the definition of laborer. They are hard working, dependable people who have bought homes, raised kids, paid taxes and lived the American dream.

Where did the perception that Americans will not do labor jobs come from? I know factory workers, farmers, construction workers, and others who are Americans. Is that phenomonom only in my state?

Per Yahoo's definition of immigrant:

" im·mi·grant audio (m-grnt) KEY

NOUN:

1. A person who leaves one country to settle permanently in another."

Another words...People who are BORN in the USA are not immigrants...they are CITIZENS.

I am american and have been with my fiance for over 5 years now and we have a 2 year old together. We have been working on getting him legal for a year now, its called 'Petition to my Fiance' and we are going to mexico in July for an interview, which will get him the K-1 Visa.

With all the new laws going on with immigration, will this affect us in any way? Or are the new laws totally different from what i am doing with getting him legal? I heard that illegals will have to pay back taxes. My fiance has paid taxes ever since he's been in America, will this affect him at all?

I would just like to know when this Amnesty thing is going to happen, will it be very soon, in a couple of months, weeks?

Any advice would help, thanks.

Long time ago this country belonged only to the Natives, and then people started coming here, from Ireland, form England and so on. So look back to your ancestors and tell me where they came from.

Here's my question: if Mexicans want jobs so badly, because there aren't many of them available in Mexico, why don't they force their government to fix the problem instead of electing free-riding jerks who just insist that the US take their low income citizens and provide them with work?

I understand that they do what they need to to feed their families, as would anyone. But most Mexicans would rather live in Mexico, they love Mexico, as they should. BUT I want to know why they are bailing ship instead of actually fixing their own country.

And to anyone who says that illegal immigrants take the jobs no one wants, that's garbage. In Los Angeles, my boyfriend couldn't get a McJob simply because the spanish speakers who worked there (mostly illegals, they didn't speak english really at all) wouldn't work with someone who couldn't speak spanish. This was widely the case in low income jobs and manual labor jobs in Southern CA.

Democrats have always been socialist, and now Bush and the Republicans have spent more on socialism than the Dems ($3 TRILLION budget!) , and BOTH parties are selling America out. They are trashing our national sovereignty and our future by allowing an invasion of a poor, uneducated class that will be future welfare needers who will help crash our financial system.

Enough!

It is useless to vote. Both parties are anti-American. Immigration is supposed to be well planned out and restricted.

It is time for a revolt. It is time for a 2nd American Revolution. Our case today EXCEEDS the case for having the 1st American Revolution.

Tell me why you agree.

Everywhere I turn, citizens and LEGAL immigrants of this country oppose this new immigration bill. I'm appalled that our elected officials do not hear us. I have signed petitions, I have called my senators and congresspersons. Any suggestions on what we, the people of this country, can do to be actually be heard?

A friend of mine and her husband went on a trip to Colombia (the husband is Colombian). They did everything LEGALLY in order to get his status adjusted to permanent resident. He was granted permanent residency in May 2006 (she has the welcome letter from the USCIS to prove it). The green card was supposed to be good for 2 years. The residency is conditional for 2 years because it is based on marriage. However, there was some sort of error when all of the information was put into the system. The system showed that it had already expired. He was not allowed to fly out of Colombia back to the States. All of this was caused by a careless error by whomever put the info in the system. Is there anything my friend can do to bring her husband back? This all seems so unfair since she did everything the right and LEGAL way. She needs him here.

There are many arguments for tighter immigration controls, not all of them are based on xenophobia of mexican nationals and blatant racist rhetoric. Why is it that most people use the simple, small minded arguments like "Dey'er E-Legals" instead of arguing against wage inequality? The fact is, if these farms and buisnesses had to pay immigrants the same minimum wage Americans received, they wouldn't bother employing illegal hispanic labor, because it wouldn't be profitable to do so.

#1 - International Immigration Number, linked to a visa. you have certain amount of time to register after finding a job, employer has to also fill out paperwork. You pay flat tax on everything you make (no freakin refunds), you pay $1000 per year for 5 years to become legal (that is EVERY family member) If you leave the process starts over. Your kids start the same process at age 16, until then they have a minor visa which allows them to go to school.
2) Guest worker program is a joke, thats what is happening now...DUH
3) Anyone that gets caught in the US without Visa, goes home, 5 years no visa. Anyone working in US without Visa, goes home 5 years no visa, and employer is fined $10,000 per employee.
4) Or just send them all home so the working wage in America can go up....
5) Or better yet, what can we do to make Mexico a better place to work...I mean they send home on average $400 a month, we spend billions of dollars on them already...why not???
