Answer 1

There are several categories of legal status for a non-citizen to remain in the US. I agree with your view with the addition of non-citizens who are granted legal status to remain in this country. Those who come as a visitor or student should leave (or be made to leave) after their visa expires.

A separate issue is assimilation. I do not appreciate those who immigrate here from other countries and try to change America's laws to their way of thinking. These are the same people who are slow to learn English and demand that government publications be written in their native language.

Here is what other countries have to say about adopting Sharia law.....
In March, 2006, Muslim leaders in a meeting with Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs Minister Peter McGauran announced that they want to set up a separate Islamic court in Australia to deal specifically with Islamic divorces.

Mr McGauran and Attorney-General Phillip Ruddock rejected the idea in April. Mr McGauran said, "The law in this country is secular. There's a clear separation between religion and the law and Australia's laws apply equally to all citizens, regardless of their religion,"

A spokeswoman for Mr Ruddock added: "It would not be appropriate for the Government to establish a separate religious court."

Australia's Prime Minister, John Howard, announced on Wednesday, August 23, that extremists would face a crackdown. Howard indicated that he supported spies monitoring the nation’s mosques.

Treasurer Peter Costello, seen as heir apparent to Howard, suggested that if clerics did not accept that Australia was a secular state and its laws were made by parliament, they could be asked to leave. Costello said on national television, “If you want a country which has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you ...If you can’t agree with parliamentary law, independent courts, democracy, and would prefer Sharia law and have the opportunity to go to another country which practises it, perhaps, then, that’s a better option,” Asked whether he meant radical clerics would be forced to leave, he said those with dual citizenship could possibly be asked move to the other country.

Education Minister Brendan Nelson later told reporters that Muslims who did not want to accept local values should “clear off”. “Basically, people who don’t want to be Australians, and they don’t want to live by Australian values and understand them, well then they can basically clear off,” he said.

This seems very clear. Australia will not tolerate Islamification!

The debate over Sharia law surfaced in Canada in 2003 when a Muslim group in Ontario proposed the arbitration of family disputes according to Islamic law. On May 26, 2005, the Quebec legislature passed a motion against allowing Sharia law to be used in the legal system.

It is not uncommon, therefore, that a country rules against changing its laws to cater to the Muslim community.

I live in SE Michigan where there is the largest concentration of Muslims outside the Middle East. Muslims are very supportive of Hezbollah and Hamas. They are very active in demanding legal rights. For example, the Al Islah mosque in Hamtramck, Michigan won a court battle to have the azan (call to prayer) broadcast over loudspeakers 5 times per day from 6 am to 10 pm. In Dearborn there were court battles to have government-subsidized "halal" food served to Muslim children in the school breakfast and lunch programs. Also in Dearborn there were battles to have a room set aside for Friday prayer. Some people jokingly refer to Dearborn as Dearbornistan.

Debbie Schlussel describes in her article that, "Thousands of Detroit area Muslims (the majority of whom are Shi'ite) come from the Bint Jbeil area, and they support Hezbollah. .. Bint Jebail--also spelled "Bint Jbeil"--located in southern Lebanon and very close to the border, is the key Hezbollah stronghold. Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah makes most of his fiery anti-Semitic, anti-American speeches there...to eager ears. It is the site from which much shelling of rockets and missiles, onto Northern Israel and beyond, emanates....

Bint Jbeil's Mayor, Haj Ali Bazzi, is a U.S. citizen, with a Michigan Driver's License and an American passport. Even though he cannot speak English, he spent a short time in Dearborn and--voila!--American citizenship was served up. ...

The Bint Jebail Cultural Center was founded in 1994. Incredibly, American taxpayers subsidize this "cultural center," since it has 501(c)(3) tax-deductible status. In 2004, the year of its last tax return on file, the club spent over $85,000 on "cultural and religious seminars and lectures," most of them extremist. ...

While it operates mostly as a banquet facility, the Bint Jebail Cultural Center is also used as a frequent meeting place for Hezbollah supporters and a locale for pro-Hezbollah rallies that frequently feature anti-American and anti-Christian hate, not just anti-Semitism. "

The US is much more tolerant of Islamification than other countries.

Some of these people are here legally and some are here illegally. Many of those who are here illegally eventually become legal residents by marring a citizen or resident.

For me the issue is not just being a legal resident, but assimilating into the culture and supporting the laws and Constitution of the United States.

Answer 2

Good question, and i dont think you would need an explanation of you not being prejudice, seeing as in your whole post,there was not one offensive or sesitive remark.

Now, i do belive we need to control our borders, not to the extent of "Making a huge wall and arming it", but people wont stop coming up with ridiculous ideas. Now, I am from Mexican Heritage and im proud of it. I was born here, and although my parents were not we are all Americans.To be an American it takes more than just being born here, or legalize yourself. Its not even determined from what country your from, a true American is one that stands by his country, and tries to make a better life for themselves and their families. That is my opinion.

From: Ivan, a 14 year old boy, and a proud American.

Answer 3

I'm never opposed to anyone coming here from any other country to work and be a productive member of our society. Unfortunately it's very necessary to have a border patrol, although mostly this is done to protect the well being of illegals, as they go through perilous journeys to get here in the first place. As far as other countries that enter this country from overseas, people cannot work here unless first granted a temporary work visa, which is no small feat to get in itself. When you become a citizen, you show the willingness to give back to your country and community, that at that point you have already taken and used services from.

Answer 4

I say build a wall and arm it. Anyone coming in must have papers to verify they are immigrating here and that they will learn our language within 6 months of living here. And a baby born here doesn't automatically get citizenship rights.

Ireland was facing problems like this and they changed their constitution (or whatever document they have like it) to say that at least one parent must be Irish for a child born there to be a citizen. I support that.

Answer 5

I agree with you, I mean everyone deserves to come here, I am not saying that immigrants shouldn't come here, but if you want to be here so bad and are such self proclaimed valuble assests to our country, that you can wait for a green card. If you can't wait, you don't deserve to be here.

Answer 6

i agree. we are populated alreadyt without having millions, not thousands, of illegals flooding our towns, taking our jobs, healthcare, government service.

This is not good for our country. What is going to happen to this country now?

Answer 7

to tell u the truth i dont care either way it doenst matter yo me my quesiton is why now? why are they making such a big deal nwo this is been going on forever

Answer 8

this issue is an illusion, trickery, and distraction from the real issue of our day....we are loosing a war.

Answer 9

I totally agree with you!

Answer 10
