Immigration - September 2007

since its so easy for everyone in europe to claim benifits in the uk is it as easy for someone in the uk to go to spain and claim benifits? im 22, male with no kids and wish to leave the uk due to high immigration and lack of jobs. i want a job in spain somewhere and was wandering if anyone could help. id like to go there and get a free house/food/mobile like all the other scroungers around for once because im sick of the uk so can i do it?

Everybody whines about the immigration issue.Everybody gripes about our government not doing anything.Everybody has an opinion on what should be done.But yet nobody is ready to give an inch on the issues.I don't know if anything will ever get resolved with that type of thinking.Anti's think they are a majority and so do Pro's.Guess what?Neither are the majority.This is a very split issue.To resolve it BOTH sides are going to have to make concessions they may not want.Isn't time to put the 3 year old bull headedness aside and start thinking along the lines of adults?Or do you just want to have something to gripe about while our country falls apart?

Please at least READ the article on the link before answering. Then tell me what do you think about this Version of the Dream Act. Would you vote yes or no for it's passage? Defend your reason(s) for why you would vote yes or no.

I am a born american. i married a man 3 years ago who swam from Guatemala 7 years ago. we have a 1 year old daughter. my husband was caught in texas when swimming and they released him on a year visa when the year was up he was meant to go to court to be deported and he never showed. so my husband currently has deport status. all the lawyers tell me there is nothing i can do other than have my husband go back to guatemala and wait for 10 years then petition for him, unfortunately that is not an option because my husband is the only bread winner in his entire family in Guatemala and we send them money weekly just to eat and have electric. Has anyone had a similar situation that can advise to what we should do? my husband is in no rush to get papers its me worried that something could happen and he'll get deported. He has never been in any trouble here with the police other than when he was caught in Texas. Please Advise. Desperately seeking advise.

Every time some one post statistics about how many American citizens have been killed, raped, by the illegals, you can be sure there are the illegal supporters saying things like.... well, there are more Americans committed these crimes every year so why is it so much more of a big deal when the illegals committ these crimes....

I saw some signs posted on poles of the streets where I live. These are signs telling people to vote. However, there are two versions, yes you guessed it, one in English and one in Spanish. I was so incenced by this and thought about writing over the Spanish version" LEARN TO SPEAK ENGLISH AND STOP TURNING THE U.S. INTO THE THIRD WORLD WHERE YOU CAME FROM"

Would I get arrested for this?

Takes a minute or two to read.If reading is not for you skip this question.One of the arguments currently made for increasing the intake of immigrants and guest workers is that it is vital to the health of the nation's economy.

If this were true, a tough choice would have to be made between economic stagnation and the social and environmental impact of adding further population growth on top of what is already too much.

Fortunately, there is no real dilemma. The economy can grow in a healthy fashion with a low level of immigration. How do we know? Our economic history demonstrates this fact.

Between 1925 and 1965, we had a level of immigration that averaged less than 180,000 admissions per year. Illegal immigration during that period was not the serious problem that it is today.

To The City

During that period of restricted immigration — curtailed in part because of World War II and the Depression — the overall trend in economic growth was impressive. It was a time of rapid industrialization and mechanization, a major move from rural America and work in agriculture to the cities and industrial jobs.

Women entered the work force in large numbers. In 1920, according to the census, 23.7% of women were in the work force. By 1970, before the effects of the 1965 change in the immigration law had significantly expanded immigrant admissions, the share of women in the work force had grown to 43.3%.

The best indicator of how the U.S. economy responded to the period of low immigration between 1925 and 1966 may be seen in inflation-adjusted GDP per capita over that period. It clearly shows that, apart from a rapid jump during WWII and a drop back following it, the overall trend is rising national product — i.e., economic development.

It may also be seen that the increase in per capita GDP has continued since the 1965 Immigration Act unleashed rapid immigration growth. But the rate of increase since 1966 is not as great as it was during the period of low immigration.

From 1925 to 1966, GDP per capita increased by 168.4%. That is an average annual increase of 4.0%. During the period since then (1966-2005), the increase in GDP per capita has been 114.2%. That is an annual average increase of 2.9%.

Of course, immigration is not the only factor influencing economic change. The role of labor unions, laws, trade, transportation, communication and technology all play major roles in economic change.

As the United States has become more enmeshed in international commerce and other countries have developed economically, greater competition exists for our produce.

It is tempting to look at the greater per annum GDP per capita growth during our earlier low immigration and conclude that a return to low immigration would result in a new surge in per capita growth.

Back To Work

A slowing in the availability of low-wage labor, according to economic theory, should have the effect of causing wages to rise to attract more U.S. workers back into those occupations.

If the nation's output continued to grow during a period of slowing growth in population, this would contribute to the growth in GDP per capita. However, because there are other economic forces at play in shaping the national product, that is not a clear-cut prospect.

Nevertheless, the nation's history with low-level immigration and the economic growth during that period provides evidence that it is wrong to suggest that our economy will suffer if immigration and guest worker programs are not increased — as business interests are currently asserting.

On the contrary, it suggests that the economy would continue to be healthy if immigration were significantly reduced.

...garnished for failure to pay student loans.

All victims are senators who voted for the "Dream Act" which gives in-state tuition to illegal aliens who only CLAIM they've been here since age 16. No proof is required.

The act passes, news stories show illegals laughing about faking the documents but the law protects them.

Defendant paid out-of-state tuition.

Illegals are getting Medicare and Medicaid but he earns "too much" and gets none.

He seeks assistance. Denied. Stalks and kills 28 senators who voted for the Dream Act.

If, by claiming temporary-insanity, he could walk free, how would you vote as a juror?

I just heard that 90 out of 100 letters that people sent to congress were againts the DREAM act. Don't let Senators get the idea (again) that they only hear from anti-immigrant constituents, and that they should play it safe and vote against the amendment.Start making calls or sending emails.

The dream act requires that applications for it's amnesty must be expedited, bars DHS from charging fees for expedited service, and fails to provide the additional personnel and equipment needed to handle expedited applications. Because million of people will file applications for Dream Act Amnesty (regardless of whether or not they eventually quality) DHS will experience a significant backlog of cases that will necessarily slow DHS abiltiy to process conventional business and family visas, and applicatons for naturalization of intending the legal immigrants to the USA

Being that the limited funds from financial aid go to the most needy of students and many of the illigals under report or are paid under the table they would dry up the limited pool of funds

Further, because the repeal of the 1996 law that said that illegal aliens can not get in-state tutition is retroactive, illegal aliens who formerly paid out-of-state tuition will have the abiltiy and motivation to sue for the difference between what they paid and the in-state rate
