My husband (British) and I (American) are considering a move to Wales, my husband's homeland. He's lived in the US (Michigan) for almost 10 years, but wants to go back to the UK. I have no idea what an international move consists of, let alone the quality of life compared to the US. Has anyone done this, have any advice for me?

I have a cousin VERY active in animal rescue, and I assure you that many, many unwanted strays are put to sleep every day in THIS country. What about them?

Am I the only one who is less admiring than offended by this?

The State Department has no record of ever receiving my application, my major concern is that I sent in my original US citizenship certificate and all the money paid. Now the Post Office wants me to pay $5.00 to put a trace on my money order for the State Depart, they should pay because they are the ones who lost my file.

Illinois recently passed a law FORBIDDING employers to enter the voluntary social security number check program for employees, as the Feds were talking about implementing the program as a requirement. The feds are suing Illinois over this. This is the first thing I've seen that suggests to me they might be serious about any enforcement at all.

What do you think?

I am an old rancher on the Mexican border. My family has ranched here since 1908. I've been looking at some of these answers. 99% of these people don't have any idea what they are talking about.

These mexicans have changed. 50 years ago, they were all good people and I liked them. They lived with us and taught me spanish and many good ways and customs. They and us depended on each other and I made good friends with many of them. They worked hard and never stole from us. All of my good old mexican friends are dead now. I miss them.

Now, they are bad. I wouldn't give a nickel to any of them now. I don't know what happened. They are mean and bad. About 10 to 15 years ago they started stealing from us and got mean and don't want to be friendly any more.

Do you really know the new immigrants?

Gov. Rod Blagojevich and Illinois state lawmakers passed a state law banning any employer from using the voluntary federal program that can help a company figure out if they have illegal aliens working for them. Should the federal government arrest and charge these people? Im all for state rights, but to ban a "good" program that can weed out illegals aliens from our workforce is criminal. What is Illinois now a safe haven state? I thought we only had safe haven cities. I guess if Illinois had a better program specifically for this, then refusing to use our federal governments one would be OK, but this is not the case. When a state starts to work against the people, then I have no problem with the federal government stepping in to kick some pro-illegal immigration as*! I hope this governor is not only arrested and charged with a federal crime, but I hope he actually serves some time. Betraying your own country should be a death sentence, no matter who u are.

Think about it. Illegals come here to work. That means Americans are willing to hire them. Illegals then bring their family and extended family- wife, aunts, uncles, kids, sisters, brothers, etc. I live on the border amidst many drophouses, and the conditions - 15-40 to a house - are unreal. So if employers here HIRED AMERICANS, illegals wouldn't have a reason to stay, right? My aunt was working at a factory here and was fired after the higher-ups decided that illegal immigrant labor would be cheaper. Thankfully, they got busted a few months back for it, but many companies don't.

Many of them send much of their money back to Mexico anyway. Do you agree? What should be done?

I'm just interested in opinions here, not judging or anything.

I posed this question last week, but want to get a feel for how others might feel in a different section.
I live in N Dallas, Texas in a predominately hispanic neighborhood.
My son's elementary school is a public school.

His open house(hes in 2nd grade) was held last Thursday evening. You were required to meet in the gym, where the principle delivered a speech about various items regarding safety of the drop off area (many many people violate the rules in the drop off area by parking, etc) then they showed a short film about truancy.
Now ALL of this was spoken in Spanish. Only.
As we entered my 13 yr old daughter and son (we're all fair haired and skinned) a teacher handed us a translator device.

but I didn't see any others in the audience, and none of the other english speaking parents had one.
So many people literally sat there for 15 - 30 min with absolutely no idea what was being said.

Do you think thats right? Am I making a big deal out of nothing?

Pardon me if you feel like I'm stereotyping but I'm only talking about what I see. I've lived in Texas my whole life and noticed that white people allow their children to run freely in stores, movie theaters, restaurants, etc. while they shop, talk on their phone, talk to others or just ignore them. Even when the kids are in the way of workers and shoppers or are knocking stuff over, making a lot of noise, etc. I NEVER see them reprimanded. Once when my friend worked at a drugstore, she said that a white mom went home and LEFT her kid in the store only to come back an hour later after she realized she forgot her. I know that some cultures don't believe in reprimanding children in front of others and that discipline takes place in the home, however, I don't understand why children are allowed to run amok and be so disruptive and sometimes destructive while mom turns and looks the other way. Even if you don't have an answer...does anyone else know what I mean?

I am withdrawing from college, so I fear of getting drafted. (Please don't put your political opinions about the draft not coming.) I was born in the Philippines, and I plan to move there, and I wondered if I could just become only a Philipino citizen no longer an American. If you have anymore questions please ask, thanks.....

GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. (WGHP) – State police said the man charged with crashing into two parked cars on Interstate 40/85 Sunday morning is an illegal alien.Investigators said Jose Balderas has yet to produce a photo ID, and will not be released from jail until he provides one. Balderas reportedly told investigators he has been living in Washington, D.C. for the past seven months.Troopers said Balderas crashed his pickup into two cars along the westbound lanes of I-40/85 between Rock Creek and Mount Hope Church roads, near the retaining wall. The first car, a Honda Civic had broken down. A man driving a Dodge Neon had stopped to help. The drivers of both cars were reportedly in the Neon, calling for help, when the pickup driven by Balderas slammed into the Neon. The impact pushed the second car into the Civic, causing an explosion that engulfed all three vehicles.Both people in the second car were killed. Their names have not yet been released

"They were sitting there waiting for a tow truck to arrive and this gentleman comes along not abiding by the law and causes an accident of this magnitude," said Trooper K. Kutzer, NC Highway Patrol.

Witnesses told investigators the man driving pickup was speeding, and driving erratically.

Balderas is charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter, driving while impaired and underage drinking.

You know what this means - this arrest will mean one less hard working illegal with wonderful family values is available to take an American job and help our economy prosper and profits increase.

A Month Without a Citizen

We stop the business of business across the country: No schools, no retail, no roads, no railroads, no restaurants, no airports, no seaports, NOTHING...

...unless and UNTIL an amendment is ratified granting citizens the power of VETO over any item of ANY bill leaving Capitol Hill and before going to the White House.

Who's in and which month is better: January or February?

There are laws against hiring illegal aliens, but those laws are rarely enforced.
Illegal employers pay low wages. They offer no health insurance and pay no taxes on the wages they pay their illegal employees.
We all supplement this by paying higher taxes to make up the difference when these illegals cannot pay for their medical care, and when they need food stamps and other public assistance in order to survive.
If there were fewer illegal employers there would be far less undocumented workers.
Agree?

"The average illegal immigrant family receives an average of $30,000 in governmental benefits! Yet they pay only about $9,000 in taxes per year. That creates a $21,000 shortfall that the American taxpayer has to make up. That's like buying each of these illegal immigrant families a brand new Mustang convertable each and every year!"--Robert Rector, Ph.D., The Heritage Foundation

BREWSTER -- A Mt. Kisco man who was arrested by New York State Police this morning for allegedly speeding and driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol is an illegal immigrant, police said.



State Troopers Robert Lombardi and Christopher Esposito pulled over the car of Jose M. Arias, 25, around 2:10 a.m. this morning for allegedly driving 100 mph on Interstate 684 in North Salem, which has a posted speed limit of 65 mph.



Police say that Arias was under the influence of both drugs and alcohol and is an illegal immigrant. While attempting to put Arias in custody, police say he became combative and struck both officers. While being handcuffed, police allege Arias bit Lombardi on the left hand and forearm, causing bleeding. Lobardi was later treated and released from Putnam Hospital Center for lacerations and abrasions from the bite.



Arias was eventually restrained and taken into custody. Police say he has been charged with felony assault in the second degree, felony assault of a police officer, resisting arrest, DWI and other charges. He will be arraigned in the town of North Salem.http://www.newstimes.com/news/updates.php?id=1186571721&source=news_updates
Republican State Rep. Russell Pearce said he was unaware of an e-mail sent by a supporter who used the shooting of Phoenix police Officer Nick Erfle to try to raise money for the lawmaker in a possible run for Congress.

Charlie Powell, an outspoken foe of illegal immigration, sent the e-mail last week to dozens of people.

"The City of Phoenix is a Sanctuary City for illegals and what thanks does it get?" the e-mail read, in part. "One of its policeman is killed by an illegal. One thing you can do to protect your family is to contribute money for the election of Russell Pearce who is the driving force to move the illegals out of our communities.The e-mail asks donors to send contributions to the same post office box Pearce lists on his exploratory committee's Web site, www.pearce2008.com. Powell could not be reached for comment.

On Sunday, Pearce said that Powell, a longtime friend, should not have used Erfle's death to make the point that illegal immigration is a problem that must be dealt with. Pearce said he found out about the e-mail from a Channel 3 (KTVK) reporter.

"Charlie Powell is a good patriot who thought he was doing something good about a bad policy," said Pearce, referring to a Phoenix policy that prohibits officers from telling federal immigration officials about most encounters with undocumented immigrants involving minor offenses, though police detectives partner with federal immigration officers to investigate smuggling crimes, home invasions, gangs and other violent activity.

"It's shameful that we would have policies that would harm and hurt police officers."

Okay, preten there's an illegal immigrant in the U.S. He has a siblin who petitions him under petition I130 under the 4th family preference. Let's say his petition is approved, but he was to wait in line for at least 12 years. During the time he's waiting he decides to stay in the U.S. Would he be illegal or what? If immigration were to deport him could they?
