Answer 1

Yes, but it will dramatically slow down the already sluggish immigration process.

Answer 2

The U.S. conducts their own background check, and they are required to provide a certified criminal record check from the police in every nation they have lived for more than six months. Whether they should be or not, and I guess it's fair but in my wife's case, it has proven inconvenient because the police in Ireland don't have their **º* together, it is already a requirement for legal immigration to the U.S., and in many cases (depending on the country of origen) to acquire a tourist visa.

I'd also like to add that they have to swear that they have never been a member of a Communist organization or a labor union. I'm dead serious. Come on guys, the 50s are gone and this is still around. There is a democratic Communist political party in most nations of the world, and in many nations they're doing rather well.

Answer 3

They should be checked. There are so many murders we hear about that are done by Mexicans that have been deported several times.

Then there's the drug smugglers that are caught by agents, maybe shot in the butt, and the agents are going to spend over a decade in Federal prison for DOING THEIR JOB.

The problem is when they find that a bad guy, they have this stupid "catch and release" program. Anybody that thinks that the illegal alien criminal is going to show up at their hearing is stupid.

Answer 4

Absolutely however, this is only benificial if the country they come from was diligent in recording such incidents that can be tapped into via our computer systems. There are too many countries that simply do not have the funding to document this type of information via computer.

Answer 5

The National-Union believes that immigrants, foreigners visiting America for a short period should be subject to a criminal background check to make sure they haven't been involved in terrorism. Additionally, immigrants should be monitor each renewal of their visa that apply for specific jobs potential vehicles for terrorism, http://www.voteprimous.com

Answer 6

Legal immigrants do go through a background check.

Legal immigrants have a lower proportionate criminal rate than our general population here.

It is only the illegal immigrants where abour 4% of our population = about 30% of our prison population, countrywide.

Answer 7

NEWS FLASH: ?All aliens that come legally to U.S have to furnish Police reports from their countries. The Police report has to state what states/provinces alien has resided and all misdemeanors and felony's that may have been commited by said alien.

Answer 8

Legal immigrants go through criminal background checks weeks before the come here in the US. However, the problem is the illegals. They come here without paper works...thats why they are illegal....right?????

Answer 9

They already have a background check. When I applied for my resident card they investigated even the way I walk XD... not really but you get the point.

Answer 10

Absolutely!
