Immigration - June 2007

I think so. We don't go down there and force our culture on them, so why should we have their language, culture, diseases, etc. forced on us??

Are you not fed up of meeting people who can speak only a few words of English? How on Earth are these people supposed to benefit our society or economy in any way, beyond making it more secular, with different ethnic-background communities sticking together? Or do you thinkg language does not matter?
Should all immigrants have to take an English test, to make sure they can speak, write, and read english to an appropriate degree?

This weekend when I presented my NY state id, ss card, birth certificate and expired passport in order to obtain a new passport I was told that NY state ID cards were not vaild, and that only NY drivers licenses were valid. So to get a passport I had to also produce a credit card, an insurance card AND, have someone who has known me for over 2 years (with vaild US id of course) come to the passport agency and sign an affadavit in front of the passport agent saying I was who I said I was!!! This seems crazy!! Why doesn't a New York State ID carry the same "value" as a drivers license? I certainly had to produce just as much documentation to get the NY ID as I would have to get a drivers license (which I previosly had in PA but has since expired).

I think there must be such laws, but I want to know exactly how they say, and what kind of criminals are kept out of this country.
Please help if, especially,you are immigration officers or lawyers.

Since we want to go away for 12 months to Hong Kong that creates 2 problems for us.

One, she can not leave the US for longer than 6 months.

Two, according to the time line the INS has, they are going to call her back in in about 3-4 months for more paperwork, etc.

I think there is a way to speed up the removal of conditions on residence process if one's significant other is leaving the US for a job, but in my case, its education, pursuing an MBA.

Would that qualify for a speedier process, without us having to come back here for additional interviews and not have to worry about staying outside of the US for longer than 6 months?

If you haven't gone through the immigration process you should go back to your country of origin, even if you don't have any rights there!
Anti-immigration people want this so badly, so let's do it!
Send back every European, African, Asian and anyone else who doesn't have a document with them getting their permanent residency green card first, then spending 5 years here, living without committing crimes while working, paying taxes and then filing for citizenship. If you didn't go through this, or your parents didn't go through this you should have to go back. If you can't trace your heritage it sucks to be you. Those who are so against "achor" babies, all of those "anchor" baby children should be sent back. All decendents of those illegals for the last 300 years.

If you want to enforce a law, then do it the right way. No half-stepping.

My Mother was Born in Cayman Islands aka British overseas territory.

All BOTCs except for those whose British overseas territories (BOT) citizenship derived solely from a connection with the Sovereign Base Areas in Cyprus (hereafter abbreviated to 'SBAs') became British citizens automatically on 21 May 2002. They can transmit their British citizenship to their children automatically, in the same way as they can transmit BOT citizenship (subject to certain limitations if they are born overseas).

I was born in USA.

Do you really think all 12 million of those undocumented immigrants are here from Mexico alone? Get a clue!

Studies document, even in the biased Center for Immigration Studies that:
Out of the 12 million illegal immigrants 8 million of them are Mexican. Now this may seem like a massive amount of those "still" illegal but out of the 33 million foreign born migrants, 15 million of them are Eastern Europeans who in the last 10 years have done it using anchor babies and scam marraiges through prostitution.
No one really want to expose the seedy underbelly of the problem but you may consider those 7.9999 million Mexicans lawbreakers but only a small handful of them actually do real crime like forging documents or running drugs, whereas Eastern Europeans have entire money laundering schemes, credit card fraud and they do it using the holes in the system.

So go ahead and tighten up the border and build better walls and stop hardworking people from getting jobs and contributing.

An underage patron or group of patrons enter a bar serving alcohol, they either showed false identification or they were able to get passed the guy at the door. They are caught and ejected possibly they charged criminally for the false identification. If the Bar owner does not to the best of his ability enforce the legal age laws his licenses is revoked he is fined and he may also face criminal charges. Everyone agrees that this is just, even Bushes daughters.

An illegal immigrant or group of immigrants enter the country and seek employment, they either show false identification or slip past the guy at the door. They are caught and deported possibly they charged criminally for the false identification. If the employer does not to the best of his ability enforce the legal immigration laws his licenses to do business is revoked and he may also face criminal charges. 12 million plus illegal immigrants have entered our country and many may be illegally employed as well. Someone is not watching the door or is ignoring the laws.

Why would anyone think that there is anyway to justify the illegal actions of any of these parties?

I mean I keep hearing people referring to themselves as Americans, to "others" who are in their country, legal or not, as "outsiders". It's such a consistent mentality that I just have to wonder if there are others who cringe when they hear people talk like that?

EVERY person in America is an immigrant, unless you are of aboriginal descent. So when did this "right" to segregate yourselves from others and plant a stakeholders claim come to be exactly? If you have a certificate in hand that says I'm entitled and you're not can you just pull that out please?

Maybe when that attitude changes, other things will start to change too...because right now it seems to me that most Americans and just digging themselves deeper into a hole with this "holier than thou" attitude.

Comments?

And why did Fox censor (the event founder) Michelle Dallacroce's comments about the event which were filmed and broadcasted on the morning of the event? (I know Fox is not fair and balance but this is crazy!)

I encourage everyone who cares about America to write to Lou Dobbs and Fox (Bulls and Bears); tell them your viewership hangs in the balance. Tell them this is not NAZI Germany.

Deport all illegal immigrants immediately including any offspring that they conceived while here illegally. If one parent was a legal citizen then they may appeal the deportation of the child if they can prove a means of support. Close all borders......then allow entry only to those sponsored by a US citizen that can prove that they will have employment and a place to stay with total support none of which will be taxpayer funded. All admitted would additionally have to pass all exams and screenings. For those that had been here without paying taxes a requirement to pay in full the amount owed within a certain time frame with no unreasonable penalties. If the deportees had established ownership of a business illegally during their "visit" then that business would be placed in the hands of a mediator whom could either sell it to pay debts owed or negotiate a means of operating it as an absentee owner until re-entry has been approved.

My Grandparents were immigrants....they came here legally by sponsorship of my Grandfathers oldest brother, They lived with him and his family until they established themselves and found their own home were gainfully employed, he was a glass blower and she was a seamstress, paid taxes, supported themselves and family completely without any social programs, lived by the law of the land and helped to bring other relatives over as they could. This is how America was built and it is the way it should remain! All this was done in accordance with the laws with proper documentation, communications and applications to the U.S. authorities. We are now working on five generations inclusive of Doctors, Lawyers, Accountants, Teachers, Business Owners and Students.

Is it because the US soldiers just bomb away being to inept or cowardly to fight on the ground, hence the tremendous number of civilian dead? Is it because the US leaders are too busy stealing taxes via the "rebuilding" of Iraq and fighting the "war on terror" to have a good strategy?

Women cross the border to deliver. Then their children become US citizens. That puts the US in the awkward position of potentially deporting an illegal mother without her US child. Why is no one addressing this problem? What is up with that?

I'm asking a question but also giving my opinion. I'm not singling out any country's people who are in the USA il-legally. I've heard the same stupid excuse in government, on the news, that employers commonly hire il-legals to work, because they do jobs that most Americans won't. That is a lie from the beginning! I'll plant trees, dig ditches, wash dishes, bus tables, work in a factory, be a janitor, do anything. The problem is what il-legals get paid (often under the table) is WORTH more to them. For a USA citizen to take the same pay, we usually pay around 35 to 45% in deductions to federal, state, local, medicare, social. The il-legaly hired don't pay this. This in turn, causes USA citizen's cost of living to become un-affordible. I also read yesteday in fact, that the average America work makes an average $43,000 per year. Give me a break. When I made $8 an hour in a year it was barly $10,000. So, to equal $43K per year means the average worker makes like $28 per hour? Stats lie!

If you hire an illegal you can be fined by INS. If you refuse to hire them you can be sued by EEOC for racial discrimination.
On October 26, 1999 in the Chicago Tribue, EEOC head Ida L. Castro declared that the EEOC would begin enforcing Affirmative Action protection on behalf of undocumented workers. So the government is handing out fines for hiring illegals while making it impossible to afford to not hire them. The companies can lose more money for racial discrimination lawsuits brought by a government agency for an illegal that they refused to hire, than a fine for an illegal they did hire. Does this make sense?
