Immigration - August 2007

Hi, i live in Canada and I was intriqued by a conversation on a sports radio asking the question of boycotting the china for their horrible human rights record. But i know we from the west are hypocrites in some way in regards to human rights complaints in our own countries but you can't compare anything in the U.S. or canada for that matter to that which is happening in china and their dealings in Darfur. I know simply boycotting them would do no good i think we need to stop trade as well because that gives them money. China has used the excuse that they wanted to trade with the west and they inturn would work on their human rights record and that has never happened. Sure there will be a hit to the economy but i think it's time we take a stand and let our principles guide us for once.

To receive Social Security an American citizen must work at least 40 quarters or ten full years. Our government has provided illegal aliens working illegally in the United States a better deal. They need to work only six quarters to receive Social Security. Yes, an American citizen works ten years and an illegal alien only needs a year and a half.

I think police should strive to enforce immigration laws during routine police work.

Regardless of your position on the future of legal immigration in this country, state and local police will need to aid in enforcing these laws if they are ever going to have any meaning.

It doesn't matter if you think there should be a huge guest worker program or no guest worker program.

It also doesn't matter if you think the illegal immigrants here now should have amnesty or be forced to return to their country of origin.

Whatever you think immigration laws should be, I would presume you think they should be enforced and breaking them should have consequences. And to enforce them effectively, the police will have to participate.
This is a big country. It would take hundreds of thousands of federal immigration officers to police the whole country. That would cost too much and be too intrusive.

Instead, let's just let local law enforcement officers check immigration status as part of routine police work. They are already out there every day in big numbers across the entire country. If a police officer stops you for speeding and sees you have illegal drugs in the car, that officer will charge you for the drugs as well as the speeding. If that same officer on that same stop finds you are here illegally, why should you not be charged for that too?

I was hoping that you might be able to help me a little bit. I have looked and looked on the Internet for some info. about Americans moving to Mexico, but however I put in a search, it always comes back with Mexicans moving here. There's a man at my work whose brother is going to be living in Mexico. He doesn't talk to his brother very often, but he found out some information for me. He said that I can go with a passport and stay for 30 days. In that 30 days, I apply for a passport extension, and in the 6 months, then I do the major paperwork and things to be able to stay for longer and work legally and things. I also would like to bring my car with me if possible, but some of my friends said that might now work either. They said that certain years of cars are illegal in Mexico, but that doesn't really make sense to me. I'm pretty sure that as long as I register my car in Mexico and get Mexican plates that it will be fine. So I have no idea how to register my car in mexico

OK I know that if I take my own money and pay an illegal to do something than I am a criminal and I belong in prison.

But what if the illegal wants to pay me? Isn't that Very Bad too?


Or what if there isn't money but we agree that I help the illegal's kid with their school work or help him with his tax work after school sometime and he help me with something after work? Should the government also put us in prison for tax evasion now?

No way! W did something I am proud of. I almost can't believe it....

The new rules, which take effect in 30 days, say that, under some circumstances, employers will be required to fire employees with non-matching Social Security numbers or face legal sanctions.

If you for one minute don't think this is true, check the source below!

A conversation between a Customer and Bank of America:

Bank:This is the Bank of America, can I help you?

Customer: Yes, I want to cancel my account. I don't want to do business with you any longer.

Bank: Why?

Customer: You're giving credit to illegal immigrants and don't think it's right. I'm taking my business elsewhere.

Bank : Well, Mr. Customer, we don't want to see you do that, but we can't stop you. I'll help you close the account.

What is your account number?

Customer: (gives account number)

Bank: For security purposes and for your protection, can you please give me the last four digits of your Social Security number?

Customer: No.

Bank: Mr. Customer, I need to verify your information, but in order to help you, I'll need verification of who you are.

Customer: Why should I give you my social security number? The reason I'm closing my account is that your bank is issuing credit cards to illegal immigrants who don't have social security numbers. You are targeting that audience and want their business. Let's say I'm an illegal immigrant and you've given me a credit card. I have a question about it and call for assistance.

You wouldn't be asking me for a Social Security number, would you?

Bank: No sir, I wouldn't.

Customer: Why not?

Bank: Because you would have pressed '2' to speak in Spanish. We don't ask for that information when calling in on the Spanish line.

CHECK THIS OUT ON SNOPES! IT'S TRUE ! And it's outrageous.

I have a friend from Ecuador that has an importing company in his country and is woring in the US with a visa. He had a partner but they had a problem and decided to split. The problem is that the partner owes him a large amount of money and my friends told her he would sue her.
But his former partner, who is a US citizen, sent him a notarized letter saying that he can't sue a citizen because that would be considered terrorism. Is that true?
Also, my friend didn't want to meet this person at the stores he usually buys merchandise, so he told the owners that he would not be buying their products if his former partner did. The former partner sent him another letter saying that she would sue him for that. Can she do that? I mean, isn't it up to the stores to decide who they want to work with?

I'm a 21 and I want to go live in America to either work or study.

...I know.

I've looked at everything and it seems almost impossible. I have a girlfriend in Miami who I've been to see many times (just got back from a 6 week holiday over there).

The only thing I can think of is if my brother registers his company in the states and then I go as an employee or representative of that company. But I'm not sure if this would work or even let me gain a permanent place over there in the end.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
