I heard many people say the reason local Hospitals in south central los angeles is closing is a result of illegal immigration.
Is that true?

As we all have seen the past few weeks some type of legalization of illegal immigrants is imminent.Would you prefer to just gripe or would you be interested in making a valid contribution to the safety and unification of our country regarding this issue?Believe it or not there are people who are listening and taking note.

This anti-illegal immigration law was voided because the judge said, "the nature of the political system in the United States prohibits the city from enacting ordinances that disrupt a carefully drawn federal statutory scheme,"
So why is New Haven being aloud to give illegals ID cards that allow them to go around the legal system. Isn't that city enacting ordinances that disrupt a carefully drawn federal statutory scheme?"
So if I am to understand this correctly it's illegal to make it a crime to rent to illegal immigrants but it's legal to give illegal immigrants the means to go around the law.
A town can say, "Here's an ID card that lets you go around the immigration laws." and that's OK. But if a town tries to make it hard for illegals to stay illegally it's not OK.
I have a word for this and it means the same thing as EL TORO CA CA!

Hypocrite comes to mind. American does NOT come to mind. Feel your shame and know that your argument is weak. The US government pays reparitions to persons of Native American descent. If you are illegal then you are paying nothing in income tax, and therefore, are not supporting anyone but yourselves. Hit me with another sorry argument, Mexico. Please.

lets say an orphan ...

i ask this question based in the opinion of some who believe that only people who have a father or mother born in the USA should be given citizenship ... so my question is about those who would not be able to prove having a father or a mother born in the USA ...

many argue that the 14 amendment was made just for those ( the blacks ) who were oppressed back then when the amendment was made but that it should not include those who cannot prove having a mother or father who is American ...

so the question would be : what nationality in ur opinion those who cannot prove either one but to be born in the USA should be given and why ???

should the 14 amendment include them or do u agree that it was made only for the black people back then ???

Would you support a bill that closes and secures the border and rounds up ALL the ilegalls in this country, no matter what country they are from.

Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean are serving 11- and 12-year sentences respectively for shooting and wounding a Mexican national who was trying to escape after attempting to smuggle 743 pounds of marijuana across the Mexico-Texas border in February 2005.

Cybercast News Service obtained a copy of an amicus curiae ("friend of the court") legal brief filed by Reps. Walter Jones (R-N.C.), Virgil Goode (R-Va.), and Ted Poe (R-Texas) in the former agents' appeal before the Fifth Circuit Court in New Orleans.

They accuse the prosecution of "creating a purported criminal offense never enacted into law by Congress," and of charging Ramos and Compean with a "non-existent crime."

If an "illegal" commits a felony or gets caught in the wrong place at the wrong time(oh well!!!), should the local police be able to detain, hold, and start deportation process?

I have no problem with immigrants coming to America, but I do have a problem with them doing it illegally. If someone jumps my backyard fence, I am not going to offer them a home and my services to them. It's the same thing, just on a smaller scale.

it isn't hurting anyone and no one is losing money from it.

some hispanic citizens of the united states are trying to learn english through school, programs, and people

so why do people complain when they see signs in english and spanish and other related instances?

just ignore the spanish half if it bothers you so much, right? some people say "we shouldn't have to accommodate to them"

well, those signs are not forced on people to be made. stores and businesses make them so that they can attract business of all kinds of people. some signs beware people of danger so that no one will get hurt.

its not illegal to not know english, but many people are trying hard to learn it.

els classes are supported through volunteer work (i know i have some at my church) and bilingual classes do not cost extra, because if it was not there, another english class would be there costing just the same (i know, my mother is a bilingual teacher)

Of course, everyone knows illegal immigration is abundant in America, many against, many for.

But before we are so quick to pick a side and stick to it till the bloody end, why not examine both side's arguments and draw a personal conclusion, right?

First, before we may make accusation of people, we must set ourselves in their shoes and ask ourselves for a motive.

The crime: crossing the border. Motive: ?

Many would say the motive is for a better life. This is not so. In fact, most Mexicans crossing the border come here for three main things: life, freedom, and family

You see, in Mexico, who's government is grossly corrupt, hardly anyone is 'free.' you can find this pleasure easily in America.

In Mexico, death hovers amongst many. And if not death, surely the possibility. Poverty and hunger brings about this sort of thing.

And in Mexico, family is everything. If family is threatened, there is nothing that can stop the determination to fix family.

There is but one burning hope that can ensure the survival of life, freedom, and family. And that hope lies within the borders of America. "Surely anyone can do it the legal way," you say. But is that truly so?

Entrance into these United States requires chiefly knowledge of America (history, flag, states, cities, etc...), money, English skills, and time. The thing is, some Mexicans do not possess all of these requirements and to gain them would take even more time, which death surely does not wait for.

The longer the wait to America, the greater the threats on life, freedom, and family become. But most people would never leave these in the line of any threat. So they (ones who do not possess the requirements to enter legally) take the only option left that would ensure the survival of the three treasures.

So they look at the path. Pain, suffering, and death on one side yet hope and survival lies on the other. And what lies in obstruction? But of course, the law forbidding the secret entrance into America. When weighed on a scale of priorities, surely any person would take life, freedom, and family over the compliance with one law.

Now, you have stepped into the shoes of those desperate ones. Of course, there are those who wear a different pair and take to this land for selfish desire, but the majority of those desperate come here for the reasons I have explained.

Please, what are you thoughts?

Although I'm a young liberal, I'll be registering as a Republican in order to vote for Ron Paul in the primaries. His non-interventionist foreign policy echo my beliefs and he is adamantly against illegal immigration. Wants to eliminate the welfare state, ban in-state tuition for illegals, eradicate birth right citizenship, build a fence, and make all of them move out through attrition.

I already have dual citizenship in the United States and Mexico, it would be nice to get a European passport or citizenship since I plan on studying and working in Spain or somewhere in Europe in the near future.

How would I go about doing this? How much about my ancestors do I need to know?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was reading an article reguarding the illegal hotline but found in that article that he is also arresting illegal aliens who go to the jail to visit family members in an effort to combat illegal immigration. What are your thoughts and opinions on this? I think it's a good thing,do you?

Here's a bit of it with the link....
In fact, Arpaio told The Republic, he is stepping up efforts to crack down on illegal immigration by forbidding undocumented immigrants to visit friends and family in county jails. "Once they come in, we're going to have to arrest them and turn them over to ICE."
