Immigration - October 2007

I am a green card holder for the past 9 years, my mom me and sister came to the US 12 years ago from the dominican republic. i am just starting to file for american citizenship, but i wanted to know if i do, how long will it take to gain the citizenship? how long is the process?

my sister gained her citizenship through the US military. i actually tried to do the same, but i got a medical discharge right after bootcamp. i cannot re-enlist, and even if i could, i wouldnt.

so can anyone give me some answers? THANKSS IF SO!

Is anyone else concerned about the mexican population in this country that considers Mexico to be thier country but they live in America just because of the economic advantages? Don't get me wrong there are lots of good hard working mexicans out there that want to be american citizens but on the other hand where I work I deal daily with Mexicans that don't speak english and that are completely rude for no reason at all..This is America speak english and love and embrace the greatest country in the world or just get out!

Should the US abolish the legislation that allows any child born on US soil to be an American Citizen? If so, should the regulation state that at least one parent must be a citizen in order to have their child be considered a citizen? Just curious about the responses to this question.

I'm in UK on a 2 year marraige visa. My husband and i split up and he keeps talking of divorce. I've been seeing another man the past month, and I just found out that I am pregnant.
If my husband and I do divorce, I was aware that there was a high chance that I might have to go back to america. That was expected. But Now that I'm pregnant, I obviously want to stay.
Is there anything I can do?

I am living in the UK on a US student visa, but I want to be able to work here after I graduate without needing a permit. Ideally, I want EU status without having to go to Italy. An EU passport would be nice as well.

Sounds so simple to me. Raise the sales tax and do away with filing taxes every year, that way everyone pays taxes. Illegals , people working under the table, drug dealers, pimps, or whoever evades paying taxes. We all have to buy stuff, right. Then everyones paying for social security, roads, medical, and all moochers in general. No one should have any complaints then, right?

i am tired of illegal LAZY MEXICANS crossing outr borders, along with the potential terroists who slip right into the country. why just last week my cousins boyfriend (brorder patrol guard) caught a bunch of stupid pplz trying to enter the us and poison our grain supply.
Not onl;y that, but illegal immigrants are poor, and onl foster their so called "music" and join gangs which have the silliest purposes i have ever heard of. so i came up with an insanely radical plan to stop illegal immigrants
THE GRAT WALL OF THE UNITED STATES!!!
if the chinese did it, we sure as hell can. i propse a conctrete wall 18 feet high and 25 feet thick, with electric wire on both sides, and sniper posts every 500 yards with living quarters for every team of 3 guards who live there. therefore, if any immigrants attempt to cross, bam bam bam you rot away. and for the coasts, for 12 miles out there will be robotic "defenders" which have recently come out, and use no people, stopping boats

Should American's keep their mouth's shut and their own personal beliefs to themselves, since illegal-immigration has now become almost uncontrollable at this time? With the given set of circumstances, should American's take a more passive stance such as "If you cannot beat'em, join'em" for the betterment of all concerned? Perhap's America should just open our border's to any and all who wish to come and those here, share what they have with those that arrive with their hands out by giving all they have to give of their worldly possessions to the new arrivals, thus showing our true compassion for mankind and those who are different than ourselves and so eager to receive their new found wealth?

The US And Mexico have ratifed The Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (VCCR) enables consular official to protect thier citizens. The US agreed to settle disputes regarding the interpetation and application of the VCCA in the International court of Justice.

The US was the 1st country to invoke the protocal, successfully suing Iran for taking 52 US hostages in 1979.

In March of 2004 the ICJ ruled in the Avena case (Mexico v USA) That the police had the duty to inform Avena ,As soon as they determined he was a Foreign national, In the (Avena and Other Mexican nationals ) the US violated Artical 35 obilgations 51 of 52 reviewed cases. ( 98% failure rate)

In a memorandum to the (Attorney Gereral) Bush stated that he had determined" that the US will discharge its International obligations under the decision of the International Court of Justice" and he ordered the state courts to grant review.

Texas said it would not comply with the Avena judgement.
