How's this for a harsh immigration policy?

Question

I support amnesty for illegals who don't commit other crimes. And harsh penalties for companies who exploit illegals. But, regardless of how you feel about US Immigration Law, any reasonable person would have to say that these laws go too far

1. There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools, no special ballots for elections, and all government business will be conducted in our language.

2. Foreigners will NOT have the right to vote, no matter how long they are here.

3. Foreigners will NEVER be able to hold political office.

4. Foreigners will not be a burden to the taxpayers. No welfare, no food stamps, no health care, nor any other government assistance programs.

5. Foreigners can invest in this country, but it must be an amount equal to 40,000 times the daily minimum wage.

6. If foreigners do come and want to buy land, that will be okay, BUT options will be restricted. You are not allowed to own waterfront property.

That property is reserved for citizens naturally born into this country.

7. Foreigners may not protest: no demonstrations, no waving a foreign flag, no political organizing, no "bad-mouthing" our president or his policies. If you do you will be sent home.

8. If you do come to this country illegally, you will be hunted down and sent straight to jail.

The above laws happen to be the immigration laws of " MEXICO "

So can we maybe agree that we do a lot better by newcomers than some other folks?

I've heard of Freedom of Speech Rahid, but Mexico--the nation whose laws these are--doesn't believe in it. How can you make it through two years of college without reading questions?

Thanks for pointing that out Amanda. I guess they don't like supporting citizens either. Common flaw in Right Wing govts.

Well done, Chiquis. I may be Mad, but there is a method.

I'm seeing a lot of answers from people who didn't read that far. I should know by now not to paste up too much info.

Not my comments mama P. Mexico's laws. And, I spefically stated that I think they go too far.

Summermoondancer, I realize that there is a good chance that English is a second language for you. So maybe you could tell me, what part of "But, regardless of how you feel about US Immigration Law, any reasonable person would have to say that these laws go too far," did you not understand?

Answer 1

LOL, Mad. It seems you shuold have put the part about these laws being the laws of Mexico right at the beginning. Most folks were TICKED by the time they got to the break and probably didn't even bother reading the END where you posted WHERE this is the law. LOL

But I DO see your point, and it's a good one too. Immigrants seem to think that if WE gave them the same rights that their home Nations give to THEIR immigrants that somehow WE are being racist and exclusive..

Answer 2

ok you did not know the laws now.

i am only answering a few.

most nations have strict laws about running for office. you must be a citizen and in some third world places like mexico you must be born there for any office. the us requiers citizenship except for the job of president.

no other nation allows voting in ones native tongue. i know i have lived and traveled abroad.

go to the cornell legal institute and find the laws there or at the us state dept. better yet find the govt of india, mexico canada and find out what they require. no special translators allowed in most legal matter in most nations. we are nice to do that without proof that you cannot speak english.

i know legal immgrants who delay the court system by asking for interpertors acting dumb when they are not. they know it slows the system down.

we have a foreign investment immg program min of 1 mil. cnd has one as well min of far less than that.

all nations and even generous liberal cnd do not allow some legal perm residents any govt aid.

when you sponsor someone you are liable for that person in the us cnd and aus.

a foriegner to me is a not us citizen legal or not. you no longer are foreign under the us laws when you become a green card holder and become a us citizen.
exception some laws you break can cause you to lose that status ie felonies and murders.

know the laws you can find them at www.uscic.gov

www.fedaccess.gov

or www.gpoaccess.gov

go to any locallaw library and do the research there too.

Answer 3

Switzerland-I could feel is beautiful harsh,even 3rd new release born there are NOT viewed residents. Bermuda-No birthright citizenship & it takes 10 years married to a Bermudian earlier than you'll be able to also be viewed for Belonger fame [Bermudan citizenship] & even that's relatively hardly ever given. China-calls for EVERYONE to have visas while getting into or exiting even Chinese Citizens ! Australia-You overstay by way of even a million day & you're banned for three years NO excuses whatever. Japan-Every Non-Japanese[adding everlasting citizens] have their fingerprints scanned & pix taken upon access.Japanese citizenship requisites earlier than the up to date difference required anybody to be their for a minimum of two decades with everlasting residency earlier than they might had been even viewed.third Generation Japanese born from immigrants are nonetheless concept of as "foreigners" regardless of citizenship.Dual citizenship isn't identified.

Answer 4

Do your comments just concern illegals or all foreigners? If your points are in relation to illegals only then yes I agree on the whole; but if you put everyone not of US birth under the same umbrella (legal and not) you need to wake up and smell the coffee.

Point 2 - only US citizen can vote, legal residents (Legal foreigners can not).

Point 6 What planet are you from? You need a SNN for a mortgage and prove that you are here legally to get a mortgage. So an illegal getting a water side property via a mortgage is unlikely - unless they pay cash. Did a forienger out bid you on a waterfront property? smells like sour grapes to me!

Point 4 Legal foreigners pay taxes just like you so why should they not get aid if needed?

Answer 5

The entire thing is unconstitutional as it is known as taxation without representation, so unless you are going to relieve them of the obligation to pay tax such as social security you cannot deny naturalized citizens the right to have the above. You would need an ammended constitution and that is really unlikely to happen/

Also, #4 is not a law in Mexico there is no financial assistence for anyone in Mexico such as food stamps, so that was an ad lib by you also, if you want to live by a Mexican constitution you need to move to Mexico

Answer 6

Seems to be the height of irony when Mexico complains about our treatment of the Mexican immigrants here but yet our laws are far more lenient then their harsh laws. I can guess why, but it is a moot point.

Answer 7

Replace foreigners with illegals, and you've got my vote.

I came to this country LEGALLY when I was 5, my parents were dirt-poor and knew no English, neither did I. Now my dad's working at a major US university, my mom's taking community college classes and working as an accountant, I'm a 3rd year college student, and we all know excellent English (became a citizen last month!) :)

EDIT : Rule #7 is unconstitutional (ever hear of freedom of speech? it's not just for citizens)

Answer 8

I was going to say, sounds like Mexico's laws, the hypocrites.

Answer 9

Horrible. I teach ESL and I love my students, they work so hard to become American citizens to escape the cruel poverty that engulfs their lands, and learning English is terribly difficult. This is all too f***ing much.

Answer 10

Sorry but I don't think all the laws are too harsh. I really like #1!
