Daily Thread: Illegal Alien Freedom Ride Counter Protest

I currently have a TN Visa (http://travel.state.gov/tn_visas.html) and an I94 document, my wife has TD (dependant status = not allowed to work) My son was born in Idaho so he is already an American citizen. Since I am from Canada (insert Canuck joke here) I fall into a NAFTA catagory. Now the biggest thing that we are worried about is that if we leave the USA we will have to get a new WVP Visa (http://www.immigration.gov/graphics/shared/lawenfor/bmgmt/inspect/vwpp.htm), so the road to naturalization is geting really bumpy for us.

I'd like to but I'm fresh out. :-)

There are so many hoops to jump through that it's maddening. Could an immigration attorney help expedite anything for you? It seems that your son being an American citizen might carry at least some weight.

At any rate, good luck to you and your family. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed. It really bugs me to see illegal aliens getting their butts smooched while people like you are given the bum's rush.

Canuck joke

A dad walks into a market followed by his ten-year-old son. The kid is spinning a 25 cent piece in the air and catching it between his teeth.

As they walk through the market someone bumps into the boy at just the wrong moment and the coin goes straight into his mouth and lodges in his throat.

He immediately starts choking and going blue in the face and Dad starts panicking, shouting and screaming for help.

A middle-aged, fairly un-noticeable man in a grey suit is sitting at a coffee bar in the market reading his newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee.

At the sound of the commotion he looks up, puts his coffee cup down on the saucer, neatly folds his newspaper and places it on the counter.

He gets up from his seat and makes his unhurried way across the market.

Reaching the boy (who is still standing, but only just)the man carefully takes hold of the boys shoulder and quickly knees him in the groin.

The boy immediately convulses and coughs up the 25 cent piece, which the man catches in his free hand.

Releasing the boy, the man puts the coin in his pocket and walks back to his seat in the coffee bar without saying a word.

As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no lasting ill-effects, the father rushes over to the man and starts effusively thanking him.

The man brushes off the father's thanks. As he's about to leave, the father asks one last question:

"I've never seen anybody do anything like that before - it was fantastic - what are you, a surgeon or something like that?"

"Oh, good heavens no, I work for Revenue Canada."

Haha..now for the serious stuff

Having our son (some people call him our "Anchor Baby") born in the USA literally has no weight when it comes to getting naturalized, in fact my wife is scared that if we have to leave the USA that child welfare may take our son then he will be a ward of the state...I dont think that will happen though.

The company I am working for is trying to get our staus changed to immigrant alien but the paperwork is taking forever(http://atlas.doleta.gov/foreign/times.asp#state).

We actually have to go through a pile of government agencies like DOL (http://www.doleta.gov/), DOJ (http://www.usdoj.gov/), & DHL/BCIS (http://www.immigration.gov/graphics/index.htm)

I have also gone through backgroud checks & all that with the FBI, INTERPOL, RCMP (Canada) & local law enforcement..No criminal record anywhere...

The company just changed from one group of lawyers to another. The first lawyer in WA said that I could possibly have a green card by this November, the new immigration lawyer in DC is saying a few more years. Whats that all about, We are sort of getting dis-heartened by the whole deal, We really don't want to go back to Canada since it is such a joke up there.

My wife and I don't want to have to wait until our son is 18 to get naturalized...but we might have to

Oh well....take it easy

Thank you for your kind compliment, Truthkeeper. I have a tendency to be long-winded. Consider yourself warned!

My Mom is simply awesome. That is the only way to describe her. As soon as I can figure out how to post pictures in this forum, I will do so. She oozes Spunk! HA!

One question...what is a "BUMP?"

[Conservatish]

Thank you, JustPiper! Damned if I'm not blushing!

[Conservatish]

4Freedom, Thank you. I am fearful for my childrens' future and the kind of country that is left to them. That is why I decided I had to do something other than make phone calls, write letters, etc. I called INS TWICE to report that undocumented aliens would be in Indianapolis. I gave them the time and the place. Not one agent showed up. No politicians, either state or federal, answer letters or e-mails regarding the issue of immigration, along with other issues. No one cares and there will be a backlash if they do not start listening. We are tired of being ignored simply because politicians do not have the testicular fortitude to address the problems in our country.

I'm sitting here getting mad all over again. I was made to look bad in the local news. I didn't expect anything less, but I had hoped that maybe this time.....

The newspaper reporter simply LIED about the amount of support given to illegal aliens. I have written him but haven't received a response.

Our tax money was used to pay the police officers to stand and PROTECT CRIMINALS...people who have broken federal law, for crying out loud.

What has this world come to?

[Conservatish]

Thank you, Eternal! I did have a good time...fresh air, a cool breeze and the excitement in the air was almost palpable. The only downside is seeing how things were played out in the press afterwards. Well, that and the lingering anger and bewilderment that so many people can be so ignorant.

[Conservatish]

Thank you, Missouri. Ahhhh, southern Indiana, my stomping grounds from childhood to adulthood. Isn't it beautiful down there?

[Conservatish]

It makes no sense!! Things have got to change! Welcome to this country, MD. We need MORE LIKE YOU!!

[Afronaut]

Thanks for your report and all your efforts!

One question...what is a "BUMP?"

Bumps(or "bttt") are good things. They are responses to your post that force the thread back up to the "latest thread" category so that more FReepers can read it. And yes, please do post pictures. I'd love to see those.

Another deserving bump to the top!

[Conservatish]

Then thank you for the Bump!

I must tell you, I am far from stupid, but I cannot figure out how to post pictures in this forum. I have read the "Help" category regarding posting. It discusses posting a new topic or posting a reply, but nothing about how a computer illiterate such as myself might post a picture. Can anyone help me, please?

[truthkeeper]

Can anyone help me, please?

Can someone please advise this good lady on how to post pictures? Thank you. (I would but I don't know how either!)

[JustPiper]

Bump, thanx! Do we get charged calling tollfree at home? ;)

[JustPiper]

Move to Mexico and then it may work?

[JustPiper]

Why not go down to INS and bring up all the points the illegals are using and tell them you want the very same considerations!

[JustPiper]

Bump=keeping the post at the top and we like it -g- to post an image:

[JustPiper]

The Border Patrol also tried to do their job in Texas last week and got on the bus asking for papers. Two CongressCritter's intervened and the illegals cried racial profiling, could not be touched!

It was said a week before the ride began Feds gave the orders to all authorities, do not arrest or deport.

[DumpsterDiver]

I don't have a lot of help to offer, but I believe the first thing to do is get your pictures online somewhere. There is a list here of websites where you can store your photos.

That's all I know unless you already have URLs for the pictures.
