Immigration - November 2007

We have 37 states that have borders or open coastlines. That's a BIG wall!

include the visa jumpers? I saw a graph of extended families and it looked like up to 20 folks could come. I don't think they would allow that many, but what about the visas jumpers? In Morris' book Outrage he documents that in 2005, 3 million coming in, did not honor their visas when they expired and just hid out in the country. So just figuring 2 million a year for the past 14 years and 3 mill for that year, that's another 31 million. Add the "15 million" and you have 46 million. If they are allowed to bring in five extra people (which sounds right), then we double the population in one year. So what do you think the great statesmen will do? Would that be good for the economy? Maybe we can move our productin that has been outsourced back to the states.

Bush seems to be in collusion with illegal aliens...especially those from Mexico. He appears to support their invasion of America. What do you think?

Also, does it occur to anyone that Al Quaeda can slip through our borders....lol. It's an amusing notion...one suitable for a cartoon editorial depicting America with it's guns trained on Iraq, Afghanistan, and Iran and there is a cut-away view of Osama Bin Laden crawling in a tunnel toward us under the US Border fence with a nuclear bomb in tow.

What I mean is most brits/english now pay for their own private healthcare/dental care, put thier kids in private schools etc etc because those privaliges are now over run by immigrants!

but on top of our private fees we will still be paying our taxes for those services which we are no longer using and why should we use them their terrible due to the ever growing population of immigrants!

The Associated Press recently reported on a growing problem facing the Department Homeland Security, i.e. where to send all those people who have been ordered removed from the United States:


“China is refusing to take back an estimated 39,000 citizens who have been denied immigration to the United States and have clogged detention centers at federal expense, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said yesterday…. Currently, 687 Chinese are being held in federal detention facilities, at a daily rate of $95 each, while some 38,000 have been released on bond or under a monitoring program, such as wearing an electronic surveillance bracelet, the Homeland Security Department said later yesterday. Illegal immigrants can be held for 180 days before they are released.
Chertoff also said Homeland Security would open detention facilities in the next few weeks to house entire families of illegal immigrants who hope to bring their children along in order to avoid jail time. “It’ll be humane, but we’re not going to let people get away with this,” he said.
Chertoff’s remarks come as the Homeland Security Department aims to end its “catch and release” immigration policy by Oct. 1. After that date, all illegal immigrants will be held in U.S. detention centers until they can be returned to their nation of citizenry.”

The constant pressure from the President, the press, and immigration lobbying groups has finally forced the Senate to make some minor progress on the immigration . Though some of the prospects look promising it is important to keep one thing in mind: nothing is definite until it is signed into law. For now, the only thing that we know for sure is that the Senate is determined to build a giant wall along the border between the United States and Mexico. I’m not sure what this is supposed to accomplish though. Right now the border is a venerable death trap as it is with a survival rate so low that you would think it would be enough to deter most people from trying to sneak across the border. So why build a wall? Between the harsh reality of the unforgiving desert, the armed guards, and the untold other dangers that lie on the path between the United States and Mexico, if so many people are willing to face these dangers now, I am a little skeptical about the efficacy of a big wall

San Fran approves ID cards for illegal immigrants
We've been talking a lot lately about driver's licenses and other forms of identification for illegal immigrants.

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors has tentatively approved a measure allowing municipal identification cards for all - including illegal immigrants. Of course, this surprises few people. San Fran is proud of its place as a sanctuary city for the undocumented. According to the New York Times, the city would become the largest in the nation to provide ID cards to anyone who asks for it.

From The Times story:

In San Francisco, supporters said that the ordinance was intended to make life easier for the large number of illegal immigrants working in the city, many of whom cannot get access to services because they have no formal identification. The city already has a "sanctuary" policy forbidding local law enforcement or other officials to assist with immigration enforcement.

"I think it's admitting the reality of the situation that we depend on, our tourist and hotel industry depends on, a labor force that's supplied by, for lack of a better term, undocumented residents," said Tom Ammiano, the supervisor who sponsored the bill. Mr. Ammiano described the measure as "a passport of sorts," to "take the kid to the library or open a bank account, or report a crime without being deported."

It just dawned on me maybe the rest of American states don't have an "illegal" problem and it's just the ones on the borders or the ones with the big airports where the visa jumpers jump off? So do you think we have a problem?

I recently filed for I-485 and am working using my second H-1B visa. I have not got the second H-1B visa stamping in my passport yet. I have got my EAD and AP. I can enter USA using my AP. But If I go out of USA to marry a girl, how to bring my wife to USA? Do I need my second H-1B stamping in my passport so that my wife can apply for H-4? or can I come back to USA after marriage and add her name in the I-485 stage and apply consular processing for her at her home country so that she can join me later?

The other day, I read a question that suggested that the official language be English, and that day, after taking Toll House Cookies out of the refrigerator, I saw words written in Spanish under the English, Galletas de Azu’car.

Just out of curiosity, I went around the house looking for other products with in English and Spanish. I found this:


Gain: Frescura Original, Permanece Freso por Semanas

Oxi Clean: Removdor de Manchas Versatil

Bounce: Parfum frais: Frangacia Fresaca


Truth is companies’ make lot of money off products marketed and sold to Spanish speaking illegal/or legal immigrates, and BOTH Republicans and Democrats will never do anything about illegal immigration, but GIVE GOOD LIP SERVICE.

For this reason , it is not the #1 issue for me, because I don’t think that Republicans OR Democrats will EVER do anything about it.

Me and my father have always argued other this because he was an illegal Mexican immigrant in the 80's. Now he is legal and also a successful business owner. He met my mother in this country and started a family here in the u.s. So me and my two brothers are half mexican and half irish american. I know that me and my brothers are 100% american. I feel alot of patriotism for this country and strongly about it's weel being. That's why I feel irritated when my mexican family members discuss how wonderful mexican is even though they have chosen to have kids here and make money here. I just wish that mexican people could turn the government around so they wouldn't have to come here to have a decent life. Do you think i'm wrong for siding with the stricter side of the illegal immigration debate. Mexicans some at least claim that they are just taking back stolen land. Spanish conquistadors are the ones that took all of their gold but you don't see 10 million of them living illegally in spain

That is to say :

Your grandparents did not stomp in the streeets of LA -MOOING out rights using a bullhorn to amplify their big mouths.
They worked hard and had pride in what they earned - because that was what work ment - they were not obsessed in bleeding dry the American taxpayer every April 15th.
Your grandparednts came here legally and waited and were dedported if found unfit ie. no money ..sick .. criminal. Today we as a country with an out of control immigration policy are allowing ANYBODY in , it seems.

Your grandparents did not fill 33% of the jail / prisons like the illegals are doing to us today. Sure they probably got into trouble but def. not such a MEGA scale as we have today. And the costs are piling up - but the American taxpayer is OK with that. Because the American citizen is not strong enough to say , enough is enough - you see, WHITEY is so afraid of being called a racist that he will pay like the fool that he is.

You have no pride and no class.
