Homeland Security reports that 4,980,000 illegal aliens from countries other than Mexico were living in the US during 2006. That is a big proportion. Also, they report that although undocumented Mexicans continue to dominate, between 2000-2006, the greatest percentage increases were illegals from India (125%), Brazil (110%) and Honduras (75%).

if you believe in love please read, I met a man here in the usa we where in love for a year he then got deported. When I met him he was going through divorce with american women they where married for short time. We both loved each other he was sent back to his country over the next 5 years we talked almost everyday and I would visit him once a year.He applied again to come back but they will not let him back in the USA without reason it is just hard to get into the usa now since 911 so we both where thinking maybe we should both live somewhere else in the west. I already tried living in his country I don't care for it I am a western women and he is westernized also.
It is very sad story immigration has kept us apart. He has a ten year band from the usa for entering ileagle. I here in the uk it is easy to get a visa and work permit anyone know any better. Please no haters need reply this is a true love story any one have any idea how to help get around this we also have some money

I believe that Mexico should prepare it self for the sudden impact. With their unwillingness to restrain their people & not only that but encouraging them to come here illegally I believe that they have painted their self into a corner. I don't believe they were counting on us resisting their flagrant abuse of our borders & national resourses. In the gov.'s focus of the money that was comming into the country they lost sight of the possibility that this would happen.

It was on the evening news tonight. Instead of stopping off in the US illegals are heading north for the free housing, food, schools and health care. Plus they are welcome there. I say lets buy the ones that have stopped off here a one way ticket to Canada.

I was watching the news right now and they had mention that illegals from Mexico are now migrating to Canada because they are accepted with 'open' arms. They interviewed this family and asked them 1. Do you pay for rent? 2. Do you pay for education? 3. Do you pay for food? The illegal family in Canada answered NO to all THREE questions. Those questions were followed by "who pays for it?" and they answered 'the Canadian gov't".
Im not a Canadian citizen. I am an American. Keep in mind that family in the interview left the States because they couldn't 'adjust' here and YES they were here illegaly too so they migrated to Canada.
Should I go move to Canada as an illegal to live for free too?
I find it frustrating how they can get away with so much...

Was just curious- do you see Northern Irish people who relocate to your area as immigrants as well?
Or do you see them as UK citizens also with every right to live within the whole of the UK?

Recently a Texas man shot two illegal criminal aliens robbing a neighbor's house. The Family's house he was protecting were themselves LEGAL immigrants so there is clearly no racial motive. Even the Black Panthers have not claimed in their protests any racial motives.

Also the Police now say that the man who fired was also confronted on his own property as well.

The question is really do you think that the rest of the nation should follow Texas' lead in this area or should the rest of the Nation condemn Texas Law?

Mexico’s foremost expert on immigration is calling on Mexicans to do whatever they can to stop Republicans from winning the White House next year, including a boycott of companies that donate to Republican candidates.

Jorge Bustamante, the United Nations’ Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants and a sociology professor at the University of Notre Dame, this week called Republican Party policies on immigration “immoral.” Writing in the Mexico City daily Reforma, Bustamante said the Republican candidates share a in immigration stance that “lacks even the most minimum recognition of the demand for the Mexican migrant labor.”

He called on Mexicans to harness “the real power we have as consumers” to boycott big companies that do business in Mexico and fund Republican candidacies. Bustamante didn’t name any particular companies, but said “that is public information available to anyone with basic understanding of how to navigate the Internet.” http://www.statesman.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/austin/mexico/entries/2007/12/14/mexico_boycott_over_republican.html

I'm a Mexican citizen and was recently in the USA, and I couln't believe what I read on the papers or listened to in the media. It seemed to me that the US government and the US media are creating the image that all mexicans are trying to go to the US as if we were some sort of blood-sucking parasite.

I agree that a lot of mexican scum and cockroach-people from mexico (and other countries, throught Mexico) go to the US. But there are a lot of Mexican citizens that are not familiar with the immigration problem in the US.

What is your opinion?

To anyone who believes that a child born in the U.S. to an illegal alien is also illegal and/or should not automatically be a citizen.

My great-grandfather entered the U.S. using a false name to defraud the immigration authorities, whom he believed would not allow him to enter if they knew who he really was. Assume that this deception was illegal and made him an illegal alien. (This happened approximately 100 years ago and I am not sure what the laws were then.)

Which of the following are true:
a) Because he entered illegally, his son, my grandfather should also be considered illegal and/or not a citizen.
b) Therefore, that son's son, my father should also be considered illegal and/or not a citizen.
c) Therefore, that grandson's son, me, should also be considered illegal and/or not a citizen.

How far does this go? If someone's ancestor, prior to 1776, illegally entered the colonies, would they be illegal or non-citizen today?

Then why are so many beginning to support Mike Huckabee? Was he not the one who originally thought up the idea of the "Touchback" amnesty initiative? Remember ppl he's from Arkansas. I would be careful on this one.

I ask becuase I keep seeing 'multicultralism' being looked at in a negative attitude (perhaps caused by the immigration problem?) as though it's a bad thing that should never happen.

So what exactly is the difference between integration and multicultralism? aren't they in theory the same thing? I mean the US, UK, and other Western nations are already pretty much integrated societies are they not?

So what's the difference? any help or information would be appreciated. Thanks :)

ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) A Roswell police officer was removed from school campuses after turning a pregnant 18-year-old student over to immigration authorities.

Police Chief John Balderston defended the action by Officer Charlie Corn, a 10-year veteran who was working at Roswell High School as a student resource officer.

But he said Roswell Independent School District Superintendent Michael Gottlieb asked for Corn's removal "because he didn't want the officer checking on the immigration status of the students."

Last week, the district and police department made a joint decision to remove all school resource officers, the Roswell Daily Record reported.

Gottlieb had no comment Thursday.

The incident began after senior Karina Acosta was cited Nov. 29 for a parking violation and driving without a license. Balderston said she was given several days to produce a license, and when she did not, Corn pulled her from class Dec. 5.

While trying to confirm her identity, Corn learned she was an illegal immigrant, Balderston said. Corn detained her at the school before notifying federal immigration agents, the chief said.http://www.lcsun-news.com/latest/ci_7713755
