However you feel about illegal immigration, it is about to get an 'upgrade' Rumor round the tree is that they will be extending 'asylum immunity' because of the drug violence in Mexico. all they have to do is say that they fear for their life if they return to mexico because of the drug violence..... Watch for it after the election DAMHIK ps If the government is SO hungry for tax revenue, how about getting with Western Union and the money transfer companies and grabbing a portion of that money leaving the US ..... grab enough of it, you get a strong economic incentive to quit coming. | ||

Relax, that argument didn't work in Canada, they're all sent back. If us foreign, socialist, commies would do that, you guys would… well, relax. | ||

But we won't. Canada also ninxed the anchor-baby status. Way to go Canada! Wish we would do the same. Doesn't Canada have tougher imigration laws than the US? Wonder if one day Americans will start hopping the boarder and go north? | ||

Canada also ninxed (nixed) the anchor-baby status. Way to go Canada! Wish we would do the same. Doesn't Canada have tougher imigration (immigration) laws than the US? Wonder if one day Americans will start hopping the boarder (border) and go north? You'll probably tell me to stay out of American stuff again but, obviously, you don't know. The difference is not in the immigration laws but in US citizenship laws. Being born here, doesn't guarantee citizenship here. | ||

I didn't know. That's why I asked the question. Thanks for letting me know, I thought you would tell me. It was a way of me reaching out, and asking for your knowledge. Calling me out my horrible spelling, that's the kind of low thing I'd expect from someone else. I really am surprised you did that. I have always been a bad speller. My hearing always bad, has been worse since my father refused to take me to the doctor, after I punched a hole in an ear drum. I hear words differently. I admit I have not taken the time, or made the effort to learn to spell better. I usually correct my mistakes, but was running late to a meeting. | ||

Michael, Rudeness sucks. >>> Canada also nixed the anchor-baby status. Way to go Canada! Wish we would do the same. Gabriel said nothing about "immigration" in that comment. He only brought up "immigration laws" in his next statement. You no read good and are rude and antagonistic. | ||

what is really sad, I could go spend 6 months in Russia, come back with a new id; file for 'political' assylum, get my state medicaid, social security, community college tuition paid, section 8 housing, free cell phone, shuttle services until I get a car, or one is donated to the program, food bank of course, unemployment because I am not working, but a political dissident...... weeeeee welcome to the United States of Entitlement and Litigation | ||

Slightly off topic, but this thread got me thinking... I've always thought about moving to the U.S., legally, but always figured it would be too difficult to get a green card. I've always been jealous of my two sisters who were both born in Seattle (when my Dad was the Qantas rep at Boeing) but chose not to live in the U.S. I had always assumed that family rights only extended to spouses or children, but I just looked up the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services page and a U.S. citizen can petition for a sibling to be granted a green card. @$%^@ %^&$ ^%&$&^#... I wish I'd known this years ago when they both still had U.S. passports...  | ||

Canada has a lot of smart people, and a political system that works pretty good, for them. I think their shot at Social Democracy isn't quite the European model, and has a lot of local control that American Conservatives desire. Has it's issues, but who doesn't? Great place. Like them a lot. We have the same forebears and ethical roots. Can learn a lot from them. What works and doesn't. | ||

I like Canada, Madame & I seriously considered moving there. In my reckoning it has the best of the old & new worlds, without the excesses of either. Only downside is the weather. The immigration rules for Canada are tortuous & nearly made my head explode when we looked at the idea. I like the US too, but as a place to visit, & watch from a distance. Something to remember in all this. Borders, for the most part, are lines arbitrarily drawn on a map, by people long dead, who had no idea of the consequences of what they were doing. | ||

old (bad) cartographer joke. Old man sitting in the library sneazed, a neighboring student said Bless you, the man replied Damnit. Moments later he sneezed again with the same result. The student asked the man why he would damn him after his blessings; the man replied, those sneazes just cost somebody their homeland. |
