Immigration - June 2007

You were getting free health care
You your children were receiving a free education
You were receiving welfare and food stamps
You were provided legal services
You did not have to pay taxes
You were paid under the table
If the U.S government was more interested in prosecuting our Border Patrol for doing their job and give you a free pass to bring more drugs into the Country?

I think it's time to close the borders to ALL IMMIGRANTS FOR THE next tow years and let's find out who is here and if they are here legally. It's tiem to do as the Australians and many other countries are doing--protect our land, our resources, OUR JOBS!! What do you think.

Lets really think about this for a second. The republicans dont want this to pass saying boo hoo it doesnt do this and that in light of sight that they act like they want the best for our people.. truth is Republicans and i am a republican but ashamed today is that republicans dont want this to pass period and not because they are in the best interest of the people, but fact is they indeed want to keep and have more illigal immigrants. immigrants=cheaper labor=more dollars for greedy buisness=more created buisness=more job openings but for who??? not the citizen thats for sure. Democrats only want it passed because people a majority of people dont like the problem so there using it as a tool to uproot the republicans and again the scam is uncovered just another political BS move by both parties kind of shameful isnt it?

Thank god that amnesty bill was stopped.Here are some ideas I thought of for a new immigration bill.
1.If both of your parents are illegal immigrants & you are born in the U.S. you will be considered an illegal immigrant.
2.No family reunification
3.No citizenship for illegal aliens convicted of felons.
4.You must pay a $10,000 fine to become a citizen.
5.You must become fluent in both reading & writing English before gaining citizenship.
6.You will have to under go a physical & psychological testing to gain citizenship.
7.If they still want to become an American citizen & they did all of those things then they will be given citizenship.
8.If you don't pass all of the things I listed you will be deported & never be allowed to gain U.S. citizenship.

When I was at school, not too long ago, we chanted 'sicks and stones will break our bones but names will never hurt us'.

On last night's BBC TV news, the fact that the N word was used in a reality TV show (big brother) came immediately after the news that 5 million black people in Africa are to die from aids next year. Have we lost any sense of priority in England today? Or is it just that we are being bullied by a very thin skinned minority group from Jamaica? .
I once called a thief an 'F N' in Cairo Road, Lusaka and everyone agreed with me. I was only just able to stop him being beaten up by passersby.
What the hell is going on in England? I think that we have totally lost all common sense and always give in to the most violent minority groups.

I am not for illegal immigrants coming into our country but it is not their fault that they want a better working enviroment and a better living enviroment. It is our governments fault because we are too worried about what kind of freedom other countries have rather than stand up and let the enforcement officers inforce the laws that we already have? Once again it is the Wonderful Bush that are allowing this to all take place and just think alot of you that are fro Bush are the first to ***** about the illegal mexicans that are just trying to survive like the rest of us!!!

We could start by upholding the laws already on the books. How difficult is that? They won't be satisfied or do anything constructive when their motivation is simply amnesty. They care more about illegals and taxing Americans to pay for them.

As it is we will just continue to keep paying for illegals through all the social services they came here to take advantage of.

Cloture on that Bill is a victory for 'we the people'. However, we know they will keep chewing on that same bone.

The current immigration bill, without this amendment, makes those convicted of rape, assault, terrorism, and theft potentially eligible for legalization. We have enough trouble policing our own citizenry. Legalizing convicted felons, who have already shown disdain for our justice system, simply exacerbates the problem.

The Senate, this evening, voted down Senator Cornyn's amendment.

hi, my boyfriend and i have been together for 2 years and live together as well. we want to get married and have already spoken to my parents/purchased the ring :)

he is illegal and needs papers which i am glad to assist him with. problem is, i have already married an illegal once before and stayed married for four years before it fell apart (all for real... we lived together for years but i disapproved of his lifestyle/career choice in the end). will this interfere w/ my new marriage and his greencard even though both marriages were/are for real w/o any money involved? also, how long after marriage will it take my new husband to get his social security #? my father's engineering firm is willing to hire him as a drafter but spaces are limited and i'm afraid he may not be neutralized in time (in california)... it used to be 30 days... has it changed?

thanks!

(what can i say... i have a taste for german men ;)

We still have 12 million++ illegal immigrants among us.
1. Do you believe that the government will finally implement the laws already on the books? Seriously?

2. The bill has provision for funds for border security and implementation of measures to track visitors to ensure they don't overstay as well as requiring all employers to ensure their employees are legally allowed to work. Does this mean that we'll just continue with what we have now where we don't know and couldn't verify an employee's status?

3. How do we solve this problem in such a way that brings back order and rule of law and at the same time being humane? I keep hearing proposals to make life as unbearable as possible to the illegals so that they will finally leave voluntarily. But the thing is, isn't that the very reason why our soldiers risk their lives to fight wars overseas, end oppressive regimes and make lives bearable in those countries? And yet some are okay with oppressing them here in our country?

so what other countries are the illegal immigrants coming from and why is it seemingly swept under the rug. is it mostly a racial prejudice that america focuses on mexicans being the "illegal problem"?

Will this day be remembered as the day we turned the corner and cut the head off this snake called "comprehensive immigration reform?

Will we, the loyal American patriots, who put unbearable pressure on Congress to kill "comprehensive immigration reform" be admired with the same awe and hero worship as we today admire the farmers and merchants who stood on Lexington Green and on the Old North Bridge at Concorde and and fired the shots heard around the world?

Why are we all so p*ssed about this new immigration bill?

Is it because we want laws upheld, and lawbreakers punished, not rewarded?

Is it because were tired of paying the cost for freeloaders?

Or is it because we see they're getting away with all of it and if this bill passes into law then they are gonna have free run of the country?

Don't you ever wish you didn't have to pay taxes or healthcare insurance? Are you fed up with working your *ss off and getting nowhere? Wish someone else would pay for everything?

Even if this bill passes how many of them do you think are gonna line up to pay the $1,000 and fill out the paperwork to get what they are already getting for free?

Who should be more p*ssed, the average taxpaying, decent, just trying to "pay my bills and keep the law best as I can", American citizen or those who have waited in line, paid the fees (wish it was only $1,000) and submitted themselves to the whole (exhaustive) process legal immigrant?

USSR border was as long as SIXTY THOUSAND kilometers (1.5 Equator lengths) spreading in the most rugged terrain in the World, from +50C deserts on the South to -50C Arctic coast, the mountains 7000 meters high, and 3 oceans.
The Soviet border guards took a good care: they caught every illegal immigrant sneaking from Iran, Afghanistan, China.

What I see, are American colleagues too puny and weak?
