So You Want To Immigrate to the United States By June Thomas Posted Sunday, Jan. 18, 1998, at 12:30 AM PT

The United States, a nation of immigrants, has a love-hate relationship with newcomers. Despite its reputation as an international melting pot, only 7.9 percent of the country's population was born overseas, compared with 22.7 percent of Australia's, 18.5 percent of Switzerland's, and 16.1 percent of Canada's.

With the relevant issues of immigration reform and homosexual marriage about to be foisted on the USA due to Full Faith and Credit for Massachusettes Supreme Court, the last paragraph posted here was something worth noting.

(it should be interesting to not that in CF you can keep you marriage OFF the public records. Can you say Hollyweird?)

This is another reason to be concerned about immigration reform and another reason to support the FMA. Remember, all immigration is federal. A federal prhibition of homosexual marriage would preclude the INS from recognizing homosexual marriages. (or civil unions for that matter.)

Do we want to import more problems?

[Age of Reason]

Enough already!

We are full up.

Send them back.

From the article:

"Employment-based preferences account for an annual minimum of 140,000 entrants of whom a maximum of 10,000 may be unskilled workers. There are basically five categories of work-related "preferences": skilled workers, priority workers (including "multinational executives or managers" and "outstanding professors or researchers"), "professionals with advanced degrees," investors or employment creators, and unskilled workers.

Within these complex categories, there are national quotas to ensure that no country can take up more than 7 percent of the annual green-card allocation (though some family-reunification categories are exempted from this limit)."Bush's Recipe for Disaster proposal will circumvent H-1B visa. When you asked "do we want to import more problems?" Homosexuals are the only problems we'd be importing. Revolutionaries bent on the overtake of the SW (Reconquista), displacement of the poor, depressed wages just to name a few. There are so many aspects of the immigration issue and the homosexual marriage issue that if Americans had best sit up and taken notice we are in deep trouble.

There is no room at the inn.

This is not an inn. This in not charity.

If you remember, there really was no room. Joseph was not asking for anything he was not willing to pay.

Homosexuals should not be able to use "marriage" to enter the USA. Marriage is about children not sexual behavior.

There is no animal sex exception to the importation of cattle.

This paragraph caught my attention.

Homosexuality ceased to be grounds for exclusion from the United States in 1991, but since gay and lesbian couples cannot legally marry in this country, there is currently no legal way for them to benefit from family-preference laws.

The other immigration stuff is generally in other articles. This particular gem is veeeery unusual.

Homosexual fiance visas, spousal applications, it will give an badly managed agency MORE to do.

[Zipporah]

You are right.. makes you wonder exactly who is pushing this? Bush etc must know all this.. then what on earth ??

[longtermmemmory]

Right now, homsexual marriages in Canada do not get recognition in the INS entry system. IOW a us citizens who marries a homosexual in canada does not have the right to bring them here as a spouce.

Mass' opinion threatens to change that.

Rember these are not unions based on family, are unions based on a private sexual behavior.

This is another reason to push for the Federal Marriage Amendment.

I would very much like Bush to include it in the state of the Union Speech.

I'm not sure if the figures in this article are still current on the percentage of Americans foreign born.

[longtermmemmory]

I grant that this article is old. I was bringing it up on the fact that even in 1998 the homosexuals were pushing homosexual marriage to use it for immigration visas.
