Its like standing in line to go inside a store and when the door opens, a mob comes along and pushes their way to the front of the line.
My wife knows people from the Philippines who waited 9 and 11 years to get into the US.
They are settling “refugees” in America by the tens of thousands and it is very detrimental to the country although it could be classified as “legal immigration”.
Excellent email response. If you don’t get a reply they either got the point or have given up trying to convince you.
The only people in Idaho who benefit from Illegals are large planters.
On occasion, really good posts come along after I've made the daily ping. Jeff, you've given me cause to ping a second time, today. Thanks! :)
Legal immigration to USA about 27 years ago:
When I escaped from the other side of the Iron Curtin first 10 days I was put in quarantine (Austria). They had an interview with me and checked my background political story. I was granted temporary refugee status in Austria, but soon I had to chose a country to immigrate to, because Austria was closed down for refugees. The choices given to apply were in USA, Canada, South Africa or Australia. You could not apply for political refugee status in more than one country. USA was my choice because of the right to bear arms, and I thought that it would be the last bastion to stand against Communism.
The following had to be done:
1. Find an official sponsor or sponsor organization (i.e. Caritas), and upon acceptance sign the contract that we will pay back all expenses including air fair.
2. Make chest X-ray to be sure no pulmonary disease exist.
3. Blood test for venereal disease.
4. Fingerprints
5. Marketable skills.
6. No Communist membership.
7. Written declaration about my background, overall health, living close relatives, and why I chose America and what are my plans for the future.
8. Extended interview at the USA embassy in Vienna.
Fail at any of the above points meant no USA entry visa. It took about 11 months to get the approval. I found out that the delay happened because they had to process 10000 Chinese refugees who were in front of us.
Before leaving to USA we were bussed to a small town where we spent a few days for orientation about American culture, customs, etc. They were even teaching us the song titled New York, New York. Imagine people with different ethnicity from Eastern Bloc trying to sing in English. Well, we tried as best as we could.
Shortly after arrival to America I got the SS number and the Resident Alien card (Green Card). They said to everyone to avoid getting in conflict with the law because deportation will occur. Well, I was happy that I made it. After the Resident Alien card is issued you have to wait 5 years to have the right to apply for citizenship, which I did and obtained. Of course, you have to pass a written and oral exam about basic history, political structure, government, all in English to prove that you can read and write in English.
I wrote the above information to you in case someone in the future wants to know what is the difference between illegal alien invasion and legal immigration. If you assume by now that I am furious when I hear about amnesty you will guess it right. Also, every time I look at the ballots printed in different language I feel to scream out laud and want to forbid anyone to vote who can't read and write in English. What kind of citizenship exam did they take? Most likely the same happens with drivers license exams too. I took mine about 3 months in English after arrival to America. The preparation was a lot of work with extensive use of language dictionaries.
For later reference. Thank you.
I was Navy at the time and my family lived in Chula Vista (3 miles from the border) and I had to chase off illegals as they used our side gate to continue their trek north. I was a dues paying member of FAIR (Federation for American Immigration Reform) before most realized this was a growing problem.
I have seen entire cities in Southern California turn into Mexican ghettoes, with their gangs and shitty trashy neighborhoods. I have been on the streets protesting; worked with a couple Congressman (Duncan Hunter & Bob Dornan); and was even a Minuteman for a while as I worked with Jim Gilchrist across the freeway and went to Tombstone to patrol.
All that said, I would still have a problem if it were Scots invading our land (my heritage). I don't care about color, creed, or ethnicity. I only care about so many coming here illegally and lowering our standard of living by taking jobs and sucking up our tax dollars for their care.
Last thoughts:
1. Stop the appeal by increased raiding and MAJOR penalties to companies who employ illegals;
2. Build the double fence as we did in California. Ever wonder why AZ and TX has become such a big problem? Our double fence in CA (thanks to Duncan Hunter) decreased crossings by about 90% and pushed the illegal crossings to the above States.
Let the Governors of each State ignore the Fedgov/USSC rulings and enforce their State sovereignty with their own Nation Guard;
3. Increase deportations. No, I don't care about the poor little children who were born here from illegals. Too bad. We can't take in the world's children and maintain our standard of living;
4. STOP giving aid to Mexico and others until they control their borders;
5. Change our visa policies. SO many overstay their visas and disappear into our society;
6. Change our system that allows illegals to work the system. Really? Some 90% of illegals never show for their deportation court hearings. Unacceptable.
I could go on, but mostly re-enforce our current laws about companies hiring illegals. Yes, I know many have forged docs, but e-Verify works if we enforced it. No jobs - no illegals! They will self-deport!
Or, you could have simply found the passage in ‘The Audacity of Hope’.
Regarding the legal immigration points I wrote to you about, I forget to mention that I was required to show some legal papers about who I was (some ID or a Passport). Luckily I had my Passport with me of which they made a copy for cross reference. This is another problem with the illegal invaders that no one is asking them about official IDs issued by their country for cross reference with those countries embassies for accuracy and criminal background check. We have no idea who are these people and the so called amnesty or legalization will not clarify the above point either.
