Immigration - June 2007

Oct,30 2006 I traveled to the philippines to marry the woman I have known for over two years. I had to come back home without her and go through a long drawn out process of filing paper work here with the goverment for her visa and pay over five hundered dollars in fees. and until now we are still waiting to be together. she will be coming sometime around july 31, 2007. I feel the only reason the goverment wants the 12 million illegals here is {cheap} labor only. well if my wife can come here the right way so should they. or there is nothing fair or just anymore about this country. maybe the greedy and cheap business men need to pay alittle better wage and hire americans????? please contact your goverment officals and tell them how you feel please.

I ask that becouse I notice that many people that are Americans learn spanish or hire spanish talking people in order to increase their client, they know that the hispanic population are one of the greater over here, so they are taking advantages on the bilanguague, but I just wondering if that person only do for bussiness or they really care about them.

And I am not looking for pie in the sky answers like "deport them all" it just is not happening. What would you do to deal fairly with those in our borders now, while making it harder for people to come here illegally?

The more languages you speak, the more opporunities to succeed in America you have!
Whites, Yellows, Browns, Blacks, Reds, or Pinks, or Blues in California agree that Spanish Language is our official Second Language.

The Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution :
This amendment established the constitutional basis for the educational rights of language minority students.
Guaranteed that no State can make or enforce any law abridging the privileges or immunities of citizens; nor deprive any person of life, liberty or property, or equal educational opportunities, without due process of law; nor deny equal protection of the laws.
In 1967 Governor Ronald Reagan signs SB 53, the legislation allowing the use of other languages of instruction in California public schools.
This bill overturned the 1872 law requiring English-only instruction.

Do you know the current laws in regard to Bilingual Education in CA ?

Every other question I read on here is blame mexicans for this, blame mexicans for that. Even when people say they're mexican, Or even freakin' say something pro mexican, you take off your clan hood so you can type better and sit there and say
"Well Boy, why dont you done go back to your own damn country" which actually was a real answer, but i took out the spelling mistakes.

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on immigrants and being an AMERICAN in
1907.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or
origin. But this is predicated upon the persons becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag.
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Isn't he still right?

Why do people call us racist for taking a stand against illegal immigration?? Granted there might be a few which are racist, but the majority of the people who take the stand against illegal immigration are against the illegal aspect of it. I don't hear anyone stating immigration should stop. It is all the ILLEGAL immigration should stop. I along with others don't feel people should be rewarded for breaking the laws of this country. Why as usa citizens should we have to follow the laws or be punished, why should we work hard and pay taxes to support the country when illegals do not have to, and why should we go to school, educate ourselves, and work hard to make our life better when illegals don't have to??? I swear, i speak out against illegal immigration everyday, but it is against the illegal part. I have no problem with legal immigration. We are a country based on immigrants. But people need to abide by and respect the laws of this country. Amnesty is not the answer!!

Since the gov't still owes on the "40 acres and a mule" promise to the freed slaves, and border security is an issue with talks of a "Great Wall" of America even -

how about we give off 40-acre strips of land along the Mexican border to the families of freed slaves, and just make sure the crunkest, pit-bull fighting-est homies' property abuts the Mexican border?

no one in their right mind would cross that

it kills two birds with one stone

how's that sound?

forgive all people incarcerated with marijuana charges ?

Most of the marijuana we have comes from Mexico anyway.

Alcohol is legal, processed
cigarettes are legal, processed
only because you have to pay your government for it.

MJ is illegal because you can grow all you want at home for pennies. That is the only reason it is illegal.

People are locked in cages over a plant mother nature/God gave us. While 12-15 million criminals are crawling all over our country breaking all kinds of laws. Pathetic.

I know a 97 year old, has been in this country since 7 years old through green card. Tried to become citizen some years ago, however there was a conflict and INS at the time attempted to deport this individual, the individual's attorney negotiated a deal with the INS court. The individual could stay, however never apply for citizenship. So I'm wondering if the president can grant citizenship.
If so how would one go about it, are there forms??????

Here is a solution to 2 of America's problems.All the illegal Mexicans they catch jumping the fence they should send to Iraq to fight the terrorists,if after 2 years they are still alive we will make them legal(if they get lucky they might kill a few terrorists lol)But they would also be good spys being the same color and looking so much like muslims! Also it will save us money and men,because from the looks of this worthless,stupid war with Iraq,this country will be broke before it ends !

We could confiscate any funds illegally gained to help off set the cost of deportation.

It really would not cost that much, just enforce the laws and a lot of the criminals will leave.

It is so funny to see certain people just throw there hands up and say it's impossible to enforce our laws and deport all illegals. These same people watch rockets sent into outer space, use mp3 players and computers etc and "it can't be done"

What a laugh.

Hi. I am from LatinAmerica... and something I noticed and still don't quite understand here in the US is why white people are majorily the ones talking about immigration issues, invasion to their land, etc etc. while other groups like African Americans, natives, are much less involved in anti-immigration sentiments.

I don't want to generalize. (I know there are people of all races with different points of view) But living in this country I've encountered much more white people with anti-immigration,(and anti-illegals) views and comments... than African Americans, natives, or other groups of citizens here in the US.

I hope this question doesn't offend anyone. I would say that African Americans have the same right to have these views... since they are here almost the same amount of time that whites have,,, and native americans were here much longer before. Yet they seem to have less anti-immigrant feelings (and also anti-illegals).

This what I have seen from observation. Why?

How about forget a new bill and just enforce our current laws? How about building a fence and stationing men to guard our borders? We should start fining any employer who hires illegal aliens. And we should start deporting every illegal immigrant who is reported. The politicians are afraid to take action. They are afraid to deport. I say deport each and every one until they are all gone!

It didn't used to be like this. Everything was in English, period. The hispanics HAD to learn English, and they did. Now we are catering to them. I miss the good old days.

Hi,
I am a citizen of Russian Federation. I am a graduate student on a F-1 Visa.

My Father works as a University researcher and planning to apply for Green Card. Me and my mom are planning to apply through dependent category.

Should we apply along with his application as dependent or should only apply after his application has been accepted.

Also how long does it take usually for a person like my Father (Russian citizen) to get an answer and how long for the dependents to get an answer.

thanks for the help

I know there is a lot of people in here saying that they dont want any illegal immigrants.
But do people in the U.S. know that they dont give out work permits?
A lot of people think its so easy to get a visitor visa, student or worker? But it's really not. And I just want people to know that they do what they have to do to survive.

But there are very few white gangs? Sure we all know about the Hells Angels and other biker gangs, but percentage wise they don't even come close to the number of hispanic gang members.
