Immigration - June 2007

I am confused. The Senate is voting today on the reform bill that could make 12-20 million undocumented workers legal BUT I also read that people who committed felonies were not eligible. So... if they have entered the country illegally, falsified the I-9 government form to get hired, stole, bought or used a social security number that was not thiers.... HOW in the heck would anyone qualify anyway? Are these "little" identity theft and government offenses going to be overlooked? I am all for legal immigration but I am wondering how many of the 12-20 million would qualify if these issues are dealt with first. Will they be? It seems unfair to the people who did come here the legal way and now may have to GET IN LINE behind people who only care about getting what they want at the expense of others. Those are not the people I think will make good Americans.

Will those individuals still be allowed a pathway to citizenship even if they have committed serious crimes in our country? If subsequently they commit a crime, is there a clause that says they are deported indefinately? I think this is important to know and can not find the answer.

Is it just me or are we American way too soft?

Illegal alliens protesting on our street, disrepecting the American people, disrepecting our flag and yet our government let it countinue, and didn't do anything ro stop the chaos. They're burning our flag and it cause my blood to boil. If those illegal are doing it at another country they would be DEAD by now because other countries don't tolerate that kind crap! and neither should we!.

I feel that it is time that our government stand up and be more aggressive. The next time illegal protesting and causing chaos, they should send out riot-control troops to launch tear gas at them, round them up and get rid of them!. If our goverment won't do anything about it, we American citizen need to stand up and get rid of the illegal ourself!

And don't give me that crap about "the right to protest" and "freedom of speech". Those rights belong to LEGAL US cititzen ONLY!, not illegal!.

I personally feel that America in general is being WA

This article is about the first wave of iraq immigrates coming to america. do you view this as differently than you do the current illegal immigrates in this country. I won't say my feelings about this because I want to know how everyone else feels compared to me.

America was founded by immigrants. We are all children of immigrants. Yet racist bigots want to keep immigrants out of America.

Immigration is what makes America strong. Immigrants need to be treated without amnesty and without animosity. The senate bill will do just that.

I turned on the tube a couple minutes ago to see how the immigration debate was going. I found Paris Hilton on every cable news channel. Paris' sister "partying" in Greece. Paris in LA. Paris free from jail. Paris to be on Larry King. Paris...Paris...Paris

My assertion is this:

The fact that the pro-illegal immigration camp is accusing the opposition of racism is evidence that illegal immigration is a genuine invasion of the United States. Furthermore, the radical proponents of illegal immigration are the real racists.

What do you think?

"You know, I've heard all the rhetoric—you've heard it, too—about how this is amnesty," Bush told advocates of his immigration overhaul. "Amnesty means that you've got to pay a price for having been here illegally, and this bill does that."

The Senate has just passed cloture on the immigration reform bill. Despite more than seventy percent of THE PEOPLE, not wanting this bill, our congress has decided they know better.
Despite an unprecidented uproar, this bill will move on. It is a sad day indeed.

to the immigration system, or are they still playing around with cosmetic changes, with temporary visas and other palliatives which only put off the eventual resolution of the illegal alien problem? Do we have enough funding to actually build that 4000 mile fence? And to pay the National Guard and other agencies which have increased to patrol and safeguard our borders?

And why does anyone really care about legalities when there seems to be no unity in a country of anti-cultural backgrounds?
And one more thing. By being mutli or "anti-culturable" do you think that it helps prevent terrorist [foriegn and otherwise] from approaching us in general?

In Australia, there is a policy of multi-culturalism, where immigrants are free to do anything they like, as long as they obey the laws. So far this policy is working, and Australia is THE most accepting place for immigrants in the world. Outside of the riots in Sydney (which was caused more from gangs), it has been harmonious. Almost all nationalities are represented, and there has been no problem is in America.

So, is the European idea of asimulation better or worse than mult-culturalism in Australia?
