My foreign friend got in a little bit of trouble during a visit 7 years ago and was denied entry at JFK 5 years after. The lawyer who handled his case back then claimed he was charged for misdemeanor and that it doesn't construct basis for rejection at any port. Does anyone have any idea whether this lawyer is telling the truth?

If a US citizen wants to travel to Australia and New Zealand for 3 weeks does he requires a visa or can he travel with his valid passport

As it was said by someone in an earlier thread, it is impossible to do anything but give amnesty(which is earned legalization not full amnesty). You cant deport them all, you just cant. They will not self deport, no matter how hard you make it for them. And you cant do nothing because there will only be more of them. Yes they broke the law(most of them, the kids did not) but it is a minor offense for which a huge fine of $5,000 is more then enough.

Some of you think that there is no greater crime then this, or at least you act like you think so. Well there are a lot worse crimes, that most of you have done like drugs, underage drinking or smoking, yet you weren't caught and you were not punished for it. So why should the people who try to make their lives better be punished for it?

P.S. - not interested in b.s answers

Not just visit/work for a few months or years, but really pack up all your possessions, say goodbye to friends and family, and move out of the U.S.A intending to establish a new life with permanent residency and citizenship in your new home.

A great job opportunity abroad? A transfer within your field? A significant other? Retirement? Winning the lottery? The federal and all state government seats occupied by extreme liberals or extreme conservatives?

Really, what would need to happen in your life?

It seems that when it comes to long wait times for people entering the country to become residents or citizens, there is a feeling that this isn't a big deal, and they should wait however long it takes. Yet when it comes to long wait times for passport applications, people are quicker to say the government needs to hurry, or isn't performing reasonably.

Do you think there is a hypocrisy in these two situations? Is there a relation in these two situations?

Yes, I did ask these two questions with the idea of seeing how answers would be similar or different.

If they were, wouldn't you think that they would have stayed in their country of origin and changed things THERE verses coming illegally into the USA?!

research The Latino Paradox on the internet
(if you dont believe the following) ; )

contrary to popular belief illegal immigrants use public health care dramaticaly less than residents,

1. latinos (specificaly mexicans) have stronger immune systems and are less likely to require health services, or contract diseases, than ANY other racial group!!
dont believe me? then look it up, unless your too scared to have your white superiority complex challanged, look it up, if you have the b@!!s

2. for fear of exposure, ask any doctor and see how hard it is to keep the ones that do come to keep coming for further treatment or try to convince those that need to but dont go

3. are less likely to be affected by enviorment, fatigue, or mental stress

this information is based soley on stats, math, numbers, unlike the majority of opinion based on emotion respond to me in a LOGICAl MATHEMATICAL manner only i have no respect for emotional arguments, only scientific

We bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food. But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue.
Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table...everywhere. Then some of the birds turned mean: They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And others birds were boisterous and loud: They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.
After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio.
Soon, the back yard was like it used to be...quite, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.
Now let's see...our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, free education and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen. Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families: you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor: you child's 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English: Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to press "one" to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than "Old Glory" are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.

Maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder.

...and 4 more years to become citizens?

http://www.ailf.org/ipc/policy_reports_2003_LivesInLimbo.asp

"However, an arbitrary limit on the number of asylees who are in fact allowed to do so each year, combined with mismanagement of the entire process by federal immigration authorities, has created a situation in which asylees must wait at least 12 years to become permanent residents – and 4 more years to become U.S. citizens."

What are your thoughts on this wait time? Do you think it is valid to say that 12 years is too long? Or do you think they should just wait, even if it takes 12 years?

"The Homeland Security Department has received a torrent of complaints about delays in passport applications that have hampered summer travel plans."

Many people have had to, and still are, waiting far beyond the waiting time given for a passport application to process. Because of this, the government is easing into the new passport requirements. Some people are even thinking about going on a vacation without a passport, and just "sneaking" back into the US, where they are citizens.

What are your thoughts on the delays? Do you think this could have been foreseen? Or do you think people should just wait, even if it takes longer then it is supposed to?

Why should we grant amnesty to illegal aliens? We all are immigrants – true, but our father, mothers, grandparents and so on, came here legally. We are not entitled to just move to any OTHER country and gain rights, so why should they? If we allow illegal’s amnesty, then why have so many other law abiding citizen aliens worked so hard – for nothing? Make them go home and apply for a visa like everyone else. If they have children born here, send them packing too! It’s not their fault they had folks that performed an illegal act to have them here. If the kids want to come back when their older – fine, they’re citizens of the US and rightfully so. But illegal aliens need to get here legally. I say, the more LEGAL Aliens, the better! Bring them on, but don’t make my neighbor who busted his *** for years to get his citizenship worth less because you chose to cheat your way in! Viva la Americana!

I'm just curious if the people who are upset about Latin American immigrants are going to be equally upset when war refugees begin to start streaming into the country (as they inevitably will)?

Don't get me wrong, I'll welcome them with open arms - but it seems to me that the same Americans who were so gung-ho to go to war are the exact same Americans crying about an "invasion" of Mexicans (who just so happen to be the backbone of the American agricultural industry).

This assertion was put forward by a person as an answer to another question, and I think it has merit. My own feeling is that, no, we wouldn't mind as much because the illegals would be less likely to be carrying leprosy, TB, Dengue, West Nile Virus, and other diseases being brought here by immigrants from tropical climates; and the British immigrants would probably be more well-educated and able to contribute as more than manual laborers.

But placing all that aside, the fact that the illegals from Britain would speak English and come form a much more similar culture would seem to me to make them far more easily assimilable as American citizens. The cultures of such countries as Mexico and Guatemala are an uneasy blend of Spanish and pre-Columbian cultures, and far more different from the culture of the US than is that of Britain. As recently as 1964, for example, a Mexican father sacrificed his first-born son to the rain god.

But what's your opinion?

(T)errorists invest a great deal of time and effort into regularizing their immigration status once in the country. They do so for the obvious reason that once regularized their ability to move about the country as well as in and out of it becomes complete. They can get jobs anywhere, learn skills open to only legal residents, cover their tracks and recruit with greater ease. Only fools can deny the certain presence of these terrorists and their certain ambition to have legal status.

Which is why the draft immigration law's intent to bestow on all illegals in the U.S regardless of country of origin probationary legal status and eventually a Z Visa is simply and obviously insane....

I'm stating my question differently-many didn't understand that when I said people were forced to come here illegally-I meant circumstances forced them to, their children starving homelessnes, no jobs, even elementary ed must be paid for, no oppurtunities and no hope. They can not come here legally. It takes decades and thousands of dollars to even have a chance. They ride on train tops, cross deserts, dangerous rivers, packed in semis, often raped, robbed etc, and sometimes try dzn's of times before they are successful. Once here they work cheaply which lowers our costs for products, pay taxes everytime they purchase. If legalized would pay more taxes, be tracible with SS numbers, learn english as requirement for citizenship, be deported if broke law, increase tax base we need to support aging population, law enforcement, courts, jails, wouldn't be out money to deal with them as illegals. Most aren't gang members, drug runners, welfare bums. Break the law to feed/house child-I would!

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. House of Representatives this morning voted to withhold federal emergency services funding for "sanctuary cities" that protect illegal immigrants.
Anti-illegal immigration champion Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., sponsored the measure, which he says would apply to cities such as Denver and Boulder. He was elated by its passage, which stunned critics and supporters alike.

Could we really win?

Not just the Mexicans but you have the Asians & Caribbean also. Would you deal with em or just leave it as is?

I think were being invaded & we should lock down are borders & use force if necessary. The military would be on the border & there would be a 1 mile buffer kill zone with Mexico & entry control points for those who want to come in here legit. You try to enter this country in a banana boat I’ll treat you like & aggressor & blow your azz out the water. I also would severely punish businesses that hire illegals. Take away all benefits & aggressively hunt down all illegals. Just because you spit out a baby on US soil don’t mean jack sh*t to me. Take you & your lil bundle of joy back 2 where u cam from. I'm sure I'll get flamed for this by the PC police but f*ck em. We need to take our country back.
