Immigration - June 2007

2007-06-20 03:20:26 · 14 answers · asked by Lara S 1

Im 25, I have a good job in Local Governement in the UK, but I dont have a degree. All my friends are in the same boat, we all work for great employers, who pay us a good salary, we are successful, we have our own flats, we have cars, and I have never been so Bored with my life.
I am so tired of the UK, its weather, its people, everything. I have wanted to emmigrate to US, or Austrailia for a while now, and although our three countries are the closest in terms of culture, I have found out it is virtually impossible for me to be able to emmigrate.
Friends and Family say at 25 that i should just settle down, start a family, buy a house... I feel like I cant breathe and that if I dont make the move to the USA now I will never live out my dreams, and then after seriously looking into it, I am told it is virtually impossible for british to obtain work permits, unless they are doctors/nurses etc.. I feel frustrated, and defeated, any advice on how the british move to US greatly appreciated

WASHINGTON—In an attempt to derail the compromise immigration bill working its way through the Senate, a group of House Republicans unveiled an alternative measure Tuesday that takes a harder line against immigration that would block illegal immigrants from becoming citizens while directing the Bush administration to enforce current laws.

Called the Secure Borders FIRST Act, the new bill focuses on improving security at the border, stiffening sanctions for employers who hire illegal immigrants, and establishing a market-based temporary guest worker program, which would allow immigrants into the country on 10-month renewable visas. It also increases penalties for gang membership and identity theft, and establishes English as the official language of the United States.

My "boyfriend", who is Bahamian, wants to move to the US. But we don't want to get a fiance' Visa. Is there any other way that he can come here and work while we work on a relationship?

It looks like many people lump all immigrants into the same category. They are not ALL causing trouble for the USA. We should deport the ones that turn to criminal activity, (I don't mean just breaking the law of entering the country illegally; I mean if they start to assault, rob, get into gangs, start dog fights, etc.) We can't deport the U.S. citizens that are career criminals (unfortunately), but the law that deports immigrants that are felons could be tightened to include some misdemeanors, too.
Unfortunately they'll probably spend months thinking of a simple solution that considers all immigrants the same. This all-or-nothing thinking is why there's a lack of wisdom in our legal system today.
Those who say illegal immigrants don't pay taxes have forgotten about sales tax, gasoline tax, tobacco tax, etc.
Those who point at immigrants for all the problems are really narrow. Point at "outsourcing" for a while. Big corps screw us more than immigrants.

No, it is another branch of the judicial system, Immigration Law. Just like if you get a speeding ticket you are not a criminal because that is under traffic court. And if you look at it fines just might be the best way to punish the act and still uphold the Law. However, in light of 1986, I understand the enforcement first idea. Plus, this bill in the Senate is becoming more and more broken every day. Giving Z visas to Convicted Felons, that is completely wrong.

If they get amnesty they will be elgible for affirmative action.I personally don't believe in affirmative action.If we are going to have it I think it should be for blacks & blacks alone.When were Mexicans & Central Americans held as slaves & lynched by white people?I'm sorry Jose & Juan if you want a job you will have to get it on your own merits.

how those who favor amnesty, or path to citizenship, as they are fond of calling it, always oppose any talk of mandating a secure border first before talk of pardonning the law breaking illegals.
The biggest fear of most americans I think is that they only want to scam us into granting the amnesty plus get their new guest worker programs and still have big holes for a new wave of illegals to flow through. In other words, they have no intention of securing the border at all.

Any one else sees it like I do??

I was wondering what sort of 'red tape' I'd have to get through to move myself and my two children to Australia. Their father and I were never married, I think by Arizona law I have sole custody (correct me if I'm wrong), he's on their birth certificates, he (we) only lived with our first born for 5.5 months, never with our youngest -- I've always been the primary caregiver. He rarely sees them, though he does have some interest. We have no legal agreements (though he's been threatening me with "something"). At the time of the move, they will be about 5.5 years and 6.5 years old. He is the type of person to try and make it impossible for me to do this. What chance does he stand? What might I have to go through to make this work? I can think of plenty of reasons why Australia would be beneficial: Safer, lower cost of living, high quality of living, friendlier people, good school systems, low unemployment rates, less crowding, plus more! Thanks so much!

I'm Jewish from the US. My boyfriend is not Jewish; he's an Australian Christian. How are people doing these days with getting their nonJewish spouses (we'd marry) into permanent residency in Israel when they make aliyah? Is this very difficult? Also, can such a person have three citizenships (he's a dual citizen with New Zealand already)? Thanks!

We already have good laws in place. We should be enforcing them.

In case you thought we heard it all, now we must give health care to all illegal mexicans even future illegals, what in the world is really going on!

is it the way of life they have? Maybe it is how they were raised. Like their parents are not able to deal with the way (new way) it is now here in the U.S. Please I am trying to figure out how humans can be so ignorant toward each other, I am in no way trying to be rude myself. if you think so SORRy!

Its not OK to be in OK if your a illegal. States are taking action all over the place, thats precisely why the Senate is obsessed with passing a amnesty. The big business is scared it will lose its 3 dollar an hour workers subsidized by us. Its almost over for the illegal ivaders if we beat back this amnesty bill if not in the Senate , the house never will pass it.

I've notice that most conservative and liberals are against amnesty and want real immigration reform that will protect our borders. Is this our chance to come together in agreement since most of us don't want the big business conservatives to exploit these people for a source of cheap labor nor do we want the the left to exploit them to advance their social causes? We the people (both left and right) are closer to agreement on this issue than an issue in recent history. Should we not use this fact to our advantage?

In Farmers Branch , Texas
The city passed an ordinance that requires all landlords to verify alien status of all their tenants. Bottom line "Illegal" and they cannot rent to them!

see link http://www.ci.farmers-branch.tx.us/Communication/Proposed%20Ordinance%202903.doc

The city councel passed this ordinance,fall 2006, it was put to a vote may 2007 and WON!
Now it is on hold because of a court injunction..
What happened to Majority rules?
So what the court is telling this city is the illegals have more rights than the citizens who can vote?

thinks its ok for people illegaly enter America because they are good people they just want to make money and provide a better life for their families
Why should we take care of (illegal) foriegners in our country, if their country cant provide for them how does it becames our responsibility
isnt that a crime if someone tries to break the sovereign laws of a democratic state
and to add i dont care where they are from whether they are white,black,brown,yellow or anything as long as they are breaking laws in trying to illegaly immigrate to usa, they will always be criminals in my mind

What do you think of this one? They may vote on it tomorrow and I don't think it even passed through the House before getting to the Senate. The first one is Reid's bill, and this one is Kennedy's bill.
