Immigration - November 2007

The history of immigration to America shows it over and over again - the "Know Nothings," "no dogs or Irish allowed," "the Yellow Peril," "degradation of the Anglo-Saxon Race," "boat people stealing American tax dollars while true Americans can't get help." Around 1978, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors ordered a study to "expose" the tax burden created by "illegal" immigrants - and then suppressed the embarrassing results: illegals contributed more to the economy than they cost. It's time Lou Dobbs and all the rest of the vicious minority of Americans screaming about immigration told the truth: They are haters. They hate immigrants. "Illegal" and the entire debate is a cover-up. Read Oscar Handlin's "The Uprooted" for a sociological study of this consistent thread in American history. Read T.C. Boyle's "Tortilla Curtain," or an older book, "Chicano!" We need to do something about the issue, but hatred, expulsion and oppression are not the way.

Hi

I found the site Green Cards for Spouses or Children of U.S. Permanent Residents, and it says there "If the spouse or child is already in the United States in a nonimmigrant status, the lawful permanent resident must file an immigrant petition (called an I-130) with the Immigration Service. Once a visa becomes available, he or she may apply to adjust to permanent resident (I-485). During this waiting period, the spouse or child must maintain valid nonimmigrant status."

So my question is how to maintain this valid nonimmigrant status?

Thanks

Why can't they admit that they're the self-righteous, racist jerks that they are instead of hiding behind a mask of legalism and claiming that they're fine with people immigrating as long as they're legal?

My friend from Indonesia came to the United States in Summer of 2006 to live with his uncle so he could study. Just about a few months ago, his VISA expired and now, he can't do anything. He really wants to go to College and continue studying in America. Is there any possibility that he could acquire permanent residency despite him being considered illegal now.

How many of you younger "computer " warriors actually get out and protest either against or for illegal immigration reform?

Or is it just a computer game to you? Is it really something you believe in? Do you fight for your side? Do you stand up for your country? Or do you let others do the dirty work for you?

I was born in 1987. Ronald Reagan signed an amnesty bill in in 1986. And he didn't secure our borders, neither have the 3 US presidents after him. That means that America's borders haven't been secured at any time in my life. Illegal immigrants can't legally vote, but their children born in the United States are American citizens. And illegal immigrants have a very high birth rate. I think American politicians don't want to take a strong stance against illegal immigration, either because they support illegal immigration, they think there are to many of them to do anything at this point, or because they don't want to offend their children. 57% of illegal immigrants in the US are from Mexico, & 24% are from other Latin American countries. http://www.heritage.org/Research/Immigration/bg1936.cfm So 81% of the illegal immigrants in the United States are Latin Americans. I think the larger the Hispanic population in the US gets the less will be done to stop illegal immigration.

My family and I moved from England to the U.S. when I was about 9 years old. Since then, all of my family members have gotten their green cards except me. They've been saying that it's on its was for more than a year now and it never seems to come. Long story short, can I get a job at a local grocery store without having my green card? Thanks for your answers.

My sister in Jamaica will be interviewed in December for her green card. The national visa center completed its processing and the petition is now forwarded to Kingston, Jamaica. What questions do they ask on the interview and how long after the interview does she get her green card to come to America.
