I came to this country in the mid-eighties as a political refugee. My father fought communist forces in Vietnam for the South Vietnamese military alongside U.S. armed forces. Following the fall of Saigon, our family fled the country by boat and spent nearly three years in refugee camps in Thailand and the Philippines. We were consequently sponsored to the U.S. by a church and our family eventually settled in California.

Gabriella Cesito had something to say to the City Council of Tucson, Arizona and it is an important message. She is a naturalized citizen and followed the rules for immigration [VIDEO AT SITE] As she notes, the Arizona law only allows enforcement of existing law- something the current federal government won't do. Resistance to SB 1070 comes from the left and it stems from ignorance (the left and ignorance too often coincide). The law stipulates that there must be a legal contact for any questioning of a person regarding immigration status. As a result of the law, many of the...

When 25-year-old Zoraida Martinez takes the oath to become a U.S. citizen this week, it will be the culmination of a long, complicated and sometimes seemingly hopeless journey. "I think I treasure being a citizen more than some people who were born here, because of everything we've had to go through to get it," she said. "When I receive that piece of paper, it will be a very happy time." The Mexican immigrant arrived in the United States as a teenager shortly after her mother died, and she had nowhere else to turn. Ms. Martinez was taken in by Elias...

This is a letter I wrote to the US Senate, State Senate, House of Representative, my Governor/Lt. Governor, The White House and I'm in the process to send something simular to the local paper: Knowing this will be complete ignored I will send it anyways! I just wanted to express my disappointment in the Senate of the United States of America and our Government. I am a LEGAL immigrant from Europe. Being married to an American I still had to go through the process, which is absolutely fine by me! I did everything by the book, paid money to come...

In a land built by immigrants, there is a renewed deliberation on Capital Hill over immigration. yet in all the debate a small economically significant issue still remains below the radar screen of policy makers. It involves the unification of Legal Permanent Residents (LPRs or Green Card Holders) with their spouses. The problem is costing heartache to thousands of immigrants and costs the American economy about 4.2 billion dollars a year. The issue is simple: Legal Permanent Residents who have opted to get married to foreigners are unable to be united with their spouses and young families. The foreign spouse...

An Army Special Forces soldier who lost most of his family to the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia has been awarded the Silver Star for heroism yesterday for saving his men during a firefight in Afghanistan. But despite attempts by his superiors and fellow soldiers to tag him as a hero at a Camp Smith ceremony yesterday, Master Sgt.

"I feel kind of shame to receive this prestigious award. All...

For the second time in my six years as a FReeper, I am posting with a glass of champagne next to the computer. And boy! am I smiling. There are, of course, tons of details, but I'll wait for the questions, and please ask them! One significant note (and most mortifying moment of my interview last month) -- I was asked what other names I used. He meant this one, and asked, "What exactly is 'AnnaZ'?" "My alter ego?", I feebly suggested. "I'm just going to put it down as your stage name," he said. : | Shoot me now.
