Immigration - July 2007

Yes the USA Canada border is about as secure as (insert analogy that would imply our border is not secure here). If you look at the 9/11 commission report they mentioned a lot about how the terrorists used our lax enforcement on our NORTHERN border against us. Notice there was very little about the US mexico border. Also if you have crossed those border quite often in my case you would know how easy it is to illegally hop back and forth across the border. Very little to no patrol along the great lakes. One border crosses doesn't even have live crossing guards and is done by teleconference and is really only done based on an honor system. Seriously if you think Mexico is a joke look at our 49th parallel.

They are not disregarding any law.

Federal law prohibits states from enforcing federal immigration laws. CT is not trying to enforce federal immigration laws.

CT is providing a state issued ID for people -- which is completely within its constitutional and statutory rights.

Can you cite what laws you think CT is breaking? The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) issues a Non-Driver Photo Identification Cards (ID) to any applicant who does not possess a valid motor vehicle operator's license or whose Connecticut license is presently under suspension. The applicant must be a Connecticut resident. ID cards are issued three to five years depending on the person's date of birth.

Note: If an applicant ever applies for a Connecticut Driver's License, the identification card must be surrendered when the driver's license is issued.

To obtain an ID card, qualified persons must apply at any Full Service DMV Branch Office, or the Stamford, Willimantic or Winsted Satellite offices (new issue ID cards will not be processed at the Putnam Satellite office, the Photo License Centers/Buses or AAA offices) and present the following:

Your certified Birth Certificate or valid Passport (hospital birth certificates or photocopies will not be accepted) and one additional form of identification from our list of acceptable forms of identification .

Note: If you are not a citizen of the United States , you will be required to show proof of your legal status in this country.
Holders of a B1 or B2 Visitor's Visa are not eligible for a driver's license or identification card unless a valid USCIS Employment Authorization Card and verification of an application pending for Lawful Permanent Residence is provided.
Foreign students with an F1 Visa status must show USCIS document I-20 and verification of current enrollment in a Connecticut school.
J1 Visa holders are required to show USCIS document DS2019.
H1B Visa holders are required to show a valid USCIS Employment Authorization Card and an employee verification letter from a Connecticut employer.
All applicants will be verified through USCIS for legal status before a driver's license/identification card will be issued.


Verification of Connecticut resident address (P.O. Box is not acceptable). Verification may be in the form of a utility bill, mortgage document, lease or rental agreement, or a postmarked letter dated within 90 days if the resident address is the same as the mailing address.


In accordance with the Social Security Act 42 U.S.C. 666 (a) (13), it will be required that the social security number of any applicant applying for an ID card be recorded on the Connecticut Identification Card Requirements and Application (form B-230). Your Social Security number will be verified with the Social Security Administration (SSA) before the ID card is issued. If you do not have a social security number, you must obtain a letter from SSA that states you are not eligible for a social security number. This letter must be submitted to DMV when applying for your ID card.


Completed Connecticut Identification Card Requirements and Application (form B-230). If applicant is under the age of eighteen, a parent, court-appointed legal guardian (certified court documentation must be presented), or spouse over 18 years of age must sign the Connecticut Identification Card Requirements and Application (form B-230).


$15 fee (cash or money order only made payable to the DMV).
Renewals:

DMV will send out renewal notices for ID cards to the current address we have on file. Proceed to any Full Service DMV Branch Office, or the Stamford, Willimantic or Winsted Satellite offices (ID card renewals will not be processed at the Putnam Satellite office, the Photo License Centers/Buses or AAA offices) and present the following:

The renewal notice (if available).
Certified copy of your birth certificate or valid passport (hospital birth certificates or photocopies will not be accepted).
Your ID card, which must be surrendered. If the ID card has been lost you must present one additional form of identification from our list of acceptable forms of identification .
If you are not a citizen of the United States, you will also be required to show proof of your legal status in this country as noted above.
If you have had a name change since your ID card was issued you must present a certified marriage license, certified divorce decree or a certified probate court name change document for name change other than in instances of marriage or divorce.
Verification of Connecticut resident address (P.O. Box is not acceptable). Verification may be in the form of a utility bill, mortgage document, lease or rental agreement, or a postmarked letter (dated within 90 days) if the resident address is the same as the mailing address.
Social Security number, which will be verified with the Social Security Administration (SSA) before the ID card is issued. If you do not have a social security number, you must obtain a letter from SSA that states you are not eligible for a social security number and present this to DMV.
$15 fee (cash or money order only made payable to DMV).
If applicant is under the age of eighteen, a parent, court-appointed legal guardian (certified court documentation must be presented), or spouse over 18 years of age must sign the application.
Duplicates (Replacements):

A person whose ID card has been lost, stolen or damaged may be issued a new identification card by applying at a DMV Full Service office, Satellite office or Photo License Center (not AAA or the Photo License Bus) and must present the following:

Certified copy of your birth certificate or valid passport (hospital birth certificates or photocopies will not be accepted) and one additional form of identification from list of acceptable forms of identification . If you are not a citizen of the United States, you will be required to show proof of legal status in this country as noted above.
$15 fee (cash or money order only made payable to DMV).
Change of Name:

Supporting documentation is required when a name change is requested. Supporting documents are a certified marriage license, certified divorce decree or a certified probate certificate for name change other than in instances of marriage or divorce. There is no fee for a change of name. If your ID is lost, follow the same procedure as noted above for obtaining a duplicate (replacement) ID card and pay the $15 fee.

Suspended Licenses:

A person whose Connecticut operator's license is under suspension may apply for an ID card as long as all of the above requirements are met.

Revoked Licenses:

A person whose privileges have been revoked cannot obtain an ID card.

If a GOP candidate sought votes from a white group calling itself the "National Council of the Race," he'd rightly be shunned as a racist. But let Democrats do the same and they're called "progressive." The difference, of course, is that in the latter case both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were appearing before the National Council of La Raza ("The Race"), a radical Latino group. Trolling for votes, Obama pandered to La Raza's convention in Miami over the weekend, selling himself as one who marched alongside Latinos at last May 1's illegal immigrant amnesty rallies. Clinton, by contrast, insisted she was "at home" among the La Raza crowd, having hired a top La Raza official, Raul Yzaguirre, as her national co-chair. . . .

The irony is that La Raza is no ordinary organization. . . The organization has been around since the 1960s, with many name changes. . . La Raza is not only the loudest proponent of illegal immigration in the U.S. It fosters ethnic separatism in schools. It runs Hugo Chavez-type handouts for indigents and has ties it refuses to renounce to fringe groups like MEChA, whose own slogan is derived from the rhetoric of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro: "Through the race, everything; outside the race, nothing." Today's La Raza is a $52 million not-for-profit group that lives off congressional earmarks, shakes down big corporations like WalMart and Bank of America . . . for financial support, and has made illegal immigration and ethnic separatism its leading agenda. . . . What matters to La Raza is amnesty for illegals, if not through the Senate, then through the 1960s tactic of silencing opponents by smearing them as racist.

. . . Obama stood out as the most willing race-baiter, his Chicago activist experience coming in handy. He denounced immigration bill foes as "both ugly and racist in a way we haven't seen since the struggle for civil rights." It's pure charlatan logic. The illegal immigration issue is about whether to reward foreign invaders who've broken the law, just because there are 13 million of them. Obama should know that there are also 300 million other Americans of every skin color and ethnicity -- including Latinos -- who oppose amnesty and resent efforts to intimidate them through charges of racism. Americans have already shown they won't be intimidated. They believe in the rule of law .

My husband is trying to adopt my daughter. Her biological father (my ex) has already relinquished his rights. But we are in the US and my daughter is in India. We are being told by the social worker that my daughter has to be present in the US for the adoption to be granted. We are unable to get a tourist visa for her because the consulate fears that she will be immigrating to the US (which is true). My husband being a US citizen could apply for her Green card if he could adopt her. But we have to have her here in order for that to happen. Is there any way to get out of this "catch 22" situation?

Here are 6 reasons why I'm against illegal immigration in to the United States.
1.It's illegal.How can any responsible citizen support something that has the word illegal in it?
2.Illegal immigrants are responsible for more crime then native born Americans.
3.Some of the illegal immigrants are members of violent street gangs like MS-13 from Central America.
4.I think that the pro-illeagl immigrant side & groups that support illegal immigration like MEChA & La Raza are also anti-White.I believe they want as many Hispanic immigrants as possible to come to the U.S. So they can take social & political power a way from the White majority.
5.A lot of the illegal immigrants don't want to become Americans & don't want to assimilate.They just want the American money.They are usually proud Mexican nationals who just live in America, but don't care about our laws or traditions
6.It isn't immigration.It's an invaion.When millions of people all from the same culture & part of the world(Mexico & Central America)all go to the same country(United States)at the same time, that sounds like an invasion to me.

Citizen arrest is allowed for any felony committed in front of a person. If a citizen sees a previously deported alien then can the citizen arrest the alien since under 18 USC 1326. the re-entry of removed aliens is a felony with up to 2 years in jail?

You can verify whether an alien has a warrant of deportation by calling 1-800-898-7180 and entering the Alien Registration Number.

Maybe if there were more citizen arrests, then ICE would be embrassed into doing it's job!

One that will prevent all the little amnesty measures being attached to other bills, one that says "this is the way to be legal, and only this way"

And while we're at it let's tackle the abuses of the H1b visa program by requiring companies to sponsor college students and throw in special grants for students who sign work contracts.

Okay, If there was No language barrier at all, Would you consent to opening the fence and letting them all in.

No hard to understand Fast Food Workers
No Spanish signs on the wall everywhere
No need to bother learning Spanish
Easy Communication.

I don't know about you, but between my and my friends we really don't care about them coming in, we just want them to learn some god-damn English. And I personally endorse an instant citizenship program for any immigrants who can speak fluent English.

Then again me and my friends all go to college and are pursuing careers that couldn't be taken by an Immigrant.

Remember, If they were given citizenship, they could unionize and demand fair pay and benefits would be required by federal law to them so they wouldn't be able to go under the table for low wages more then anyone else.
