Fundamentally, we rely (event the Mexican government) to deal with the US illegal immigration problem. Other countries don't have the power in their governments to create enough wealth to keep their citizens home and so they must migrate.
check out this article about Mexican immigration laws (I will eventually translate it) We are so ignorant that we criticize the us government on its immigration laws and we dont even know our own. Yet we are happy to take welfare, food stamps, wic, medicare, education and health care (Hispanics are known for going to er for check ups since we don't have health insurance and some even use fake info and never pay their dues). Unfortunately, since we don't know better we take education for granted and we drop out of high school because our parent are too ignorant to have taught us other wise. Despierten! this is the land of dreams, where if you try, you just might be able to accomplish something. (its also the land of credit and debt but thats another monster).
WASHINGTON, D.C.— El denominado proyecto Sensenbrenner, el HR4437, que criminaliza a los indocumentados y a quienes los asistan, ha sido el motor de una movilización nacional en pos de una reforma migratoria integral. Sin embargo, ahora su autor cita un reporte que concluye que en otras naciones, incluyendo México, las penas por la presencia sin documentos, la entrada sin documentos o el uso de documentación falsa son tan o mucho más severas que lo propuesto por su medida.
El congresista F. James Sensenbrenner, republicano de Wisconsin y presidente del Panel Judicial de la Cámara de Representantes, presentó el reporte en momentos en que trata de definirse cuándo y cómo el Senado retomará el debate migratorio y qué protecciones tendrá el proyecto del Senado durante el proceso de conciliación con el HR4437 de la Cámara Baja. En este organismo los líderes republicanos argumentan que la seguridad fronteriza y la severidad de leyes en el interior del país deben tener prioridad sobre mecanismos de legalización o programas de trabajadores temporales.
El estudio, titulado Sanciones de Leyes Inmigratorias y Aplicación de Leyes en Naciones Extranjeras, evalúa las políticas migratorias en México, Brasil, Egipto, Japón, Suecia y Suiza. Fue elaborado por el Law Library of Congress y las naciones se eligieron para proveer un grupo diverso racial y, geográficamente hablando, "para fines comparativos con Estados Unidos".
Según el estudio, en México, por ejemplo, la presencia en el país sin documentos se castiga con hasta seis años de cárcel. En Estados Unidos la presencia ilegal es una ofensa civil y el proyecto HR4437 lo hace un delito grave, aunque los líderes republicanos de ambas cámaras indicaron semanas atrás que garantizarán que sea un delito menor con un castigo de hasta seis meses de cárcel.
El estudio agrega que México posee también las penas más severas contra quienes ingresen ilegalmente al país, sobre todo repetidamente. La primera vez el castigo es de hasta dos años de cárcel, y quienes sean capturados repitiendo la ofensa enfrentan una pena máxima de 10 años de prisión.
Finalmente, el informe indica que México también ofrece penas severas por conducta fraudulenta relacionada con la inmigración. Por ejemplo, hay una pena de dos a seis años de cárcel por proveer información falsa a las autoridades; hasta cinco años de prisión por mentir sobre su situación migratoria, y una pena máxima de cinco años por matrimonio fraudulento con fines migratorios.
I don't think that the fence is the way to go, its a waste of resources.
1. Stop taking applications from people outside of the US and deal with the ones who are already in the country. If they arrived in the US at least 3 years before their 18th birthday, they must have a high school diploma. If their arrival date was after their 18th birthday, GED should be required.
2. Make English the official language in all the states.
3. Implement a national ID card (similar to Mexico's Identificacion Federal de Elector, which only mexican citizens may carry and your life is miserable if you don't have one).
4. Life in prison for human smugglers.
5. research and develop technology to shut down the borders.
6. Release criminals back to their own countries (any criminal is a burden on tax payers).
7. While my number 7 is a contradiction of my stand, I do think that illegal immigration will never be controlled in an efficient manner.
a. Only fine large corporations who willingly and knowingly hire illegal immigrants.
b. Small business should be warned first, (since they don't have the resources to ensure
those whom they hire are legal)
8. Bill countries for the cost of deporting their citizens. This will be symbolic but it will show other countries how much money is spent because they cant keep their citizens and provide jobs and a decent standard of living.
9. Equal taxes for imported goods as for national goods. While we are trying to control immigration we must not lose sight of the fact that we need to keep trading with even the poorest country. (this might even help some create some wealth)
10. Strengthen our military, because you never know who we are going to piss off. If we want to enjoy the freedoms that we have then we must realize that freedom comes at the highest cost, the cost of blood (I think i heard this in the movie 300).
11. Thank our soldiers for dying for our freedom and for taking the fight to the enemies back yard and not allow them to come to our own.

Something to think about (Glenn Beck)
There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq in January.
In the fair c ity of Detroit there were 35 murders in the
month of January. That's just one American city,
about as deadly as the entire war-torn country of Iraq.
When some claim that President Bush shouldn't
have started this war, state the following:
a. FDR led us into World War II.
b. Germany never attacked us; Japan did.
>From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost ...
an average of 112,500 per year.
c. Truman finished that war and started one in Korea.
North Korea never attacked us.
>From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost ...
an average of 18,334 per year.
d John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962.
Vietnam never attacked us.
e. Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire.
>From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost ..
an average of 5,800 per year.
f. Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent.
Bosnia never attacked us.
He was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three
times by Sudan and did nothing. Osama has attacked us on
multiple occasions.
g. In the years since terrorists attacked us , President Bush
has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled
al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Libya, Iran, and, North
Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who
slaughtered 300,000 of his own people.
The Democrats are complaining
about how long the war is taking.
But
It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno
to take the Branch Davidian compound.
That was a 51-day operation..
We've been looking for evidence for chemical weapons
in Iraq for less time than it took Hillary Clinton to find
the Rose Law Firm billing records.
It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the
Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard
than it took Ted Kennedy to call the police after his
Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick.
It took less time to take Iraq than it took
to count the votes in Florida!!!!
Our Commander-In-Chief is doing a GREAT JOB!
The Military morale is high!
The biased media hopes we are too ignorant
to realize the facts
But Wait .
There's more!

Some people still don't understand why military personnel
do what they do for a living. This exchange between
Senators John Glenn and Senator Howard Metzenbaum
is worth reading. Not only is it a pretty impressive
impromptu speech, but it's also a good example of one
man's explanation of why men and women in the armed
services do what they do for a living.
This IS a typical, though sad, example of what
some who have never served think of the military.
Senator Metzenbaum (speaking to Senator Glenn):
"How can you run for Se nate
when you've never held a real job?"
Senator Glenn (D-Ohio):
"I served 23 years in the United States Marine Corps.
I served through two wars. I flew 149 missions.
My plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire on 12 different
occasions. I was in the space program. It wasn't my
checkbook, Howard; it was my life on the line. It was
not a nine-to-five job, where I took time off to take the
daily cash receipts to the bank."
"I ask you to go with me ... as I went the other day...
to a veteran's hospital and look those men ...
with their mangled bodies . in the eye, and tell THEM
they didn't hold a job!
You go with me to the Space Program at NASA
and go, as I have gone, to the widows and Orphans
of Ed White, Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee...
and you look those kids in the eye and tell them
that their DADS didn't hold a job.
You go with me on Memorial Day and you stand in
Arlington National Cemetery, where I have more friends
buried than I'd like to remember, and you watch
those waving flags.
You stand there, and you think about this nation,
and you tell ME that those peo ple didn't have a job?
What about you?"
For those who don't remember ..
During W.W.II, Howard Metzenbaum was an attorney
representing the Communist Party in the USA.
Now he's a Senator!
If you can read this, thank a teacher.
If you are reading it in English thank a Veteran.
It might not be a bad idea to keep this circulating

Legal vs illegal immigration
I know that the Left Wing blames the "Right Wing" for bigotry, xenophobia, racism and other things. My self and my family being an immigrant family actually have an opinion. If you read it and disagree, its OK, the purpose of this blog is for you to doubt me and hopefully to doubt every other opinion so that you can form your own. If you disagree dont just stop reading this blog because at that moment you become that biggot who refuses to accept others and their opinions. You want to march and be heard? now hear me.
I really get upset when I see ilegal immigrants being taken advantage of by big companies that in my opinion are abomination to how the Capitalist system is supposed to work. From my own experience I can tell you that employers know when they hire an immigrant and take advantage of this employee by not offering benefits and by paying minimum wages. What this actually does is create cheap labor and when legal residents apply for this positions they do not take them because they expect more pay and some benefits. How do put an end to this? Amnesty you say? Do you think that amnesty would stop the following trends among Hispanics?
1. Hispanics have the highest teen pregnancy rate in the Nation.
2. More than 50% of Hispanics drop out of High School.
3. Hispanics have a lower percentage High School completion rate than
any other minority.
4. 45% of Hispanics that use the emergency rooms, use fake names and
never pay their bills.
We criticise other minorities about their livestyle but at least they have adapted and try to assimiliate this culture. Us, well some of us do not want to learn English. One of my sisters friend insisted that Americans had to be able to communicate with iligalmmigrants so that the immigrants would not be outcasted. This does more harm then good because if ilegal immigrants dont learn English they can never advance in their jobs... I now a great deal of people in California who never bothered to learn English and after years and years of working at the same place they make 9-10 dollars and hour.
Yes I know that ilegal immigratns pay taxes...let me give you a scenario and please be hones in you response which I hope you do send me. Lets pretend that you live in a home where there is plenty space to live, if you are hungry you will never not find food because it is abundant. You never have to suffer heat nor cold because you home is well insulated. People who live in that home, for the most part stick to their own business and respect the house rules. Now pretend that in order to live in this home you've had to have been born within its soil. This alone entitles you to everything in it. Now, I walk by your home and realize that my home is not as great as yours. In fact if I criticize my home I may be kicked out of even locked in my room. I desire to live in you home but I cant walk in unless I ask for permission (Right?). I dont need your permission so I sneak in and pretend to be part of this home. I also demand to get everything that you have because I deserve to be treated equally as you are treated. without a doubt we both have the same rights but because I am in your home and i am your guest I cannot demand but i can ask and you as my host can decide what i have a right to. Remember that I have a God given right to live and be happy and that is about it. What I get within this home is up to you.
It is a simple anology because the US is our home and Mexico (for me) is where I did not want to be. In these protest, Mexicans are showing incredible patriotism. I'm sorry to say that i do not share it because Mexico has forced my family to this country. If you are so patriatic why leave Mexico? Perhaps we should let the Mexican government take over the southwest and run it likes its running Mexico today. What do think would happen?
What we have to do is leave our useless Mexican and brown pride aside and take pride in our families and ourselves. This of course will make sure that families stay together and take responsibity for their own actions and mistakes. I am proud of the culture that I came from. My people have conquered and ruled the mesoamerican world. Sadly today my culture is corrupt and my country cannot rule itself, this is why I live in America. We cannot demand those rights that are given to American citizens by the United States Constitution, but we can ask for those rights. Tengamos respeto, educacion y sentido comun.
