Immigration - December 2007

Did their antics and the media attention given to them make Americans more aware of the problem and motivate them to demand that the government address the issue?

In other words, lets assume you are fervently against all forms of amnesty and that you oppose any and all guest worker programs, and that you believe that illegal aliens and guest workers actually harm american citizens by undermining their wages and taking their jobs.

and lets assume you are against the war in Iraq cause you think we have no business there and that we are wasting lives and money, and that Iraq was never a sufficient threat to the USA to justify what happened.

Lets assume you dont like many of the policies of our govt the last few years and really feel we need a new direction.

Then someone comes to you and says you know what...that since it is clear that the democratic party is really for amnesty and and for guest workers cause they really want to pander to the hispanic vote, and since the only true outspoken critics of amesty running for office are repulicans, then you must vote for either Mitt Romney, Ron Paul or Tom Tancredo, etc..

...and I don't see why I'm hated so much.
I will leave off the more controversial topics that most of you will just condemn anyway, so I will argue to your kind of logic.

First of all, I was brought here by my parents at age 11 (I will not discuss my parents here, because my logic will be lengthy). What is a child age 11 supposed to do?... I had no say in the decision... I was a child!
Second of all, I am a productive person who brings something to this society. I am a college student attending UCLA and doing quite well. I've always been rather gifted academically. I did not choose to come to this country, but I did choose to succeed.
I truly don't see any justice in people condemning my sheer existence! What's my sin, to be born out of the country? I should have thought twice before being born in Mexico, huh? How evil of me!
I know you all hate what my parents did, but you lack the context of their reasons, and make assumptions. But what about me? How can you say I'm a burden?!

I am an Indian National and have over 5 years of work experience. What is the process for obtaining a work permit in Singapore?
Do I need a job before I can apply for a permit or can I get a permit first and then look for a job?
Is there a wait time before I can get a permit?
How much money do I need to part with?
Thanks for your help.

I just don't understand how people can say they don't live in a free country, and say how much they HATE it here, but won't even consider leaving. If you would mention leaving to them, they play it off and call you bigot, or close-minded. So what do they really looking for? I know many people who say how much they LOVE America, and leave to protect it..

When I see a Bi-lingual signs at stores...what should we make of it?

Corporate America LOVES it! Because when Jose/Maria cannot speak english, then their options are severly limited, they get dead-end jobs paying slave labor, and no benefits...but wait, it gets better!

Wal-Mart pays it's employees so low in CA, they include Public Assitance papers(welfare, food stamps) because the Corporation refuses to pay a decent wage, and sends the profits to some offshore account, such as the 20,000,000,000 (20 billion) dollars the Waltons of Wal-Mart have done.

So did they give the savings to you? Of course not! Made in China disposable, junk products are our savings.

But I digress. Let's keep em' down, while keeping the Bi-lingual signs UP!

U.S. District Judge James Payne on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit challenging a new state law dealing with illegal immigration.

The National Coalition of Latino Clergy had filed a federal lawsuit against Gov. Brad Henry and Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson, seeking to overturn House Bill 1804, which became law on Nov. 1.

The suit alleges that the law is unconstitutional and violates rights to due process for undocumented immigrants, who are listed as "John Doe" or "Jane Doe" in the list of plaintiffs.Payne initially dismissed the suit in October because the plaintiffs could not show that the law had damaged them before it took effect.This time the judge granted the state's motion to dismiss because the plaintiffs named in the lawsuit didn't have standing to challenge the law."The court is again confronted with plaintiffs bringing a broad array of constitutional and statutory challenges to a similarly broad array of state statutes," Payne stated in the conclusion of an order filed Thursday. "Again, some plaintiffs ignore the need to describe the injuries actually caused by the challenged statutes, while the illegal alien plaintiffs complain of grievances that could best be remedied by simply compliance with federal law. Both categories of plaintiffs must be dismissed for lack of standing, either on constitutional or prudential grounds."http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?articleID=071213_1__USDis24770
Wow... The judge says that if illegal aliens had just followed federal law, they would not have a grievance in the first place. This man might just be the most intelligent person in government. I hope Judge Payne makes it to Supreme Court someday!

I just don't understand how in the late 19th century and early 20th century we had people from eastern and western Europe migrating to the US. Even though people at first opposed immigration eventually accepted them in society. So explain me why is everyone making such a big deal about illegal aliens from Latin America. Is it likely that the US will eventually accept them like they did with the Italians, Irish, Germans etc....

This doesn't sound right. No terrorist has ever been known to have entered Canada or Mexico with a U.S. passport or to enter the U.S. from either country with a U.S passport. How could requiring Americans to have passports to enter these countries supposedly reduce terrorist threats? Isn't it more likely the government intends to expand the war to Iran and Syria and will need an active draft to do it,hence the need to make it impossible for draft evaders to leave the country? As of next year,Americans cannot leave the U.S. without the government's knowledge and permission. In any event,how is terorrism addressed by these restrictions?

We recently moved to the province of NB. We are appalled at the lack of doctors here. I took my Mum into the doctor who is 86 and almost pleaded with her to take my wife and I as patients and she apologized but said we would have to put our names on her wating list of 2600 come on! We'll be dead before we get to see her. We are relatively healthy and want to stay that way as we are used to having our annual physicals, we can't even find any doctor to give us one. We put our name on a list here called the "Orphan Clinic", sounds like we're from Namibia or something? They tell us we will get a call when one is available. They called us back 2 months after we left a voice mail and told us they couldn't tell us when a doctor was available. Do we have to get on a plane and go to the states or maybe China or India before we get a family doctor. There is a HUGE problem with the NB healthcare system. My Mum's doctor says that the province is refusing to pay them anymore so no incentives.

A state audit has found that hundreds of people have used bogus Social Security numbers to obtain food stamps.

From July 2002 to last April, 1,906 people were receiving food stamps from the state Department of Social Services based on invalid Social Security numbers, the audit report stated. Another 1,237 food stamp recipients were using the Social Security numbers of dead people, according to the audit.

DSS security measures had previously disqualified 5,840 people from the food stamp program after determining they were using phony Social Security numbers, according to the audit.

The error rate was much less than 1 percent, which is an acceptable level, the audit report stated.

DSS officials said they have developed new screens to help validate the Social Security numbers of all food stamp recipients.http://wral.com/news/news_briefs/story/2163200/
