US Department of State ^ | April 24, 2010 | Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State

Posted on 04/24/2010 8:37:39 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Foreign citizens wishing to immigrate and live permanently in the U.S. must comply with U.S. visa immigration law, and specific procedures to apply for your visa. An Affidavit of Support form is required for most family-based and some employment based immigrants to show there is adequate means of financial support in the U.S., by the petitioner or other sponsor(s) for the immigrant. Click on the links below for more information on forms to use, “how to” instructions for Affidavits of Support, genetic (DNA) testing and more. Based on law, not everyone will receive a visa to come to the U.S. See 'Ineligibilities and Waivers' below to learn more.

Why would you do that when you can just sneak in and not get hassled?

...Or you can just come in from Mexico and make yourself comfortable, with no need to go through all that hassle.

Because our nation that does not vette potential immigrants and make sure they don’t come here to be a burden on us we are paying the consequences.

I think we should adopt Mexico’s immigration policies. Then they’d STFU over how awful AZ is for only wanting to enforce existing laws

Illegal isn’t a race

I realize you guys are just being sarcastic but I chose to go through the process legally. It is a hassle but that’s OK, we only really want the people who really want to be here.

Option A: Go the the legal end-of-the-line.

Option B: Sneak across the border.

Option B is the be preferred option by some 20 million, give or take a few million.

I came here legally too. You’re absolutely correct, those that come here legally really want to be here and assimilate. I did not come here to be a hyphinated American.

Yoo, hoo Hillary---how'z about this?

CIRCA 2000---Javier Inclan, was the Hudson County Clerk, bagman for the New Jersey Democratic Party machine, and went straight to the top---becoming the NJ governor's Deputy COS.

County Clerk Inclan was manufacturing identities for illegals---stealing the info from born Americans.

In August 2004, the US Department of State stopped accepting passport applications processed by Inclan's office. Birth certificates issued by Hudson County as proof of citizenship were also not being accepted. Due to an ongoing investigation by the State Department and the U.S. Department of Justice into the alleged sale of such documents.

In early August, Richard Boucher, a spokesperson for the State Department was quoted by Associated Press: "The investigation has developed facts indicating that we cannot rely on the accuracy of information on passport applications that were processed by the county clerk's office."

HERE'S HOW HE OPERATED Javier Inclan was carrying envelopes of cash from human trafficer Luisa Medrano to the Mayor who was convicted of corruption. Medrano testified at his trial that at one time she owned 13 residential and commercial properties in Union City, West New York, Guttenberg, Fairfield and Cliffside Park----one property was worth $1 million. Medrano also controlled six liquor licenses (it's illegal to have more than two in New Jersey).

Medrano does not even speak English. Clearly, this mamasita's got more than selling tequila shots going into her bank account.

NEWS REPORT 03/30/2008, By Jim Hague, staff writer, The Hudson Reporter. In 2005, Luisa Madrano, Cliffside Park, New Jersey, was arrested for trafficking in human beings. She's the ringleader of a human trafficking ring and is staring at 255 years in jail and $4.5 million in fines. She's lived a life of lies and deceit.

Medrano, who speaks no English, is the former owner of two bars in Union City and Guttenberg, both called Porto de la Union I and II. Medrano is "a convicted felon, who was guilty of evading $263,000 in taxes and dealing with illegal immigrants.

Luisa Medrano was arrested and faces 255 years in jail for [alleged] human trafficking with girls as young as 14 and kept them as virtual slaves in her bar-rooms, and forced them into prostitution.

Then-US Atty Christopher Christie said the time of Medrano's indictment for human trafficking that, 'This was inhuman and sadistic treatment of young women who were kept as virtual slaves. These are the most vile crimes I have ever seen in my time as US attorney."

The brutality involved is beyond imagination--corrupt Third World savagery taking place in residential neighborhoods.

Luisa Medrano was convicted of smuggling underaged teenaged girls from Honduras into the United States to work in her Union City and Guttenberg bar-rooms. Medrano forced the teens into slave labor in round the clock labor at her barrooms then forced the girls into prostitution.

There is at least one story illustrative of Medrano's savagery---repeatedly throwing a teenage girl down stair steps until she had a miscarriage.

Medrano resides in Cliffside Park, the hooker home of the notorious Emperor's Club that sank Gov Eliot Spitzer. Even more alarmingly, Medrano infiltrated government and is now testifying that she bribed government officials and gave the Mayor (on trial for corruption) money for gambling, and gave his wife money for a breast reduction.

Betcha Medrano's slave laborers had several identities each collecting government freebies that Medrano probably confiscated----and were probably fraudulently registered to vote SEVERAL TIMES IN SEVERAL PRECINCTS.

That's how the Dems win--probably how Hillary won the NJ primary.

I was told by an official that the number one reason for someone to be denied is criminal history. Yes those are the very ones that we want entering illegally~ but that is what is happening now.
