What should non-hispanic Californians demand?
217808
For starters, that the government enforce existing laws. Secure their southern border. Have their congressmen work out a work program for illegals to be able to work legally. Cut the red tape that is keeping those seeking to legally become citizens from having to wait for years- that only encourages illegals to circumvent the law. Even hispanic californians should seek all this. I am hispanic but also a born citizen and there are many as myself who would agree in general with my recomondations.

Yes, it is required. You can get them free from the California Labor department. They need to be posted in employee breakrooms, and public places.

Someone else posted this two link earlier on another question.  I think it should answer a lot, though certainly not all, of your questions.\n\nhttp://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060521/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/mexico_limiting_immigrants\n\nOne link to start with, though I believe this one is written as to be ridiculously oversimplified:\n\nhttp://www.banderasnews.com/0508/nb-mexcitizen.htm\n\nA more in-depth article can be read at:\n\nhttp://www.bajainsider.com/baja-life/immigration/mexican-citizenship.htm\n\nI *particularly* like the part that states:\n\n"Along with this first rule a second one is composed of 3 conditions that one must respect: A) Speak Spanish; B) Have knowledge of the history of Mexico; C) Live with Mexican"\n\nWOW!  You mean in order to become a citizen of Mexico, I must speak the language, know the history and assimilate with the culture?!!  Yet, those who are coming here, legally or otherwise, expect the U.S. to cater to them by offering everything in Spanish as well as English.\n\nWell, now, if that isn't interesting!

What you should ask people who are for illegal immigration.\n\n1. Do we want another 911?\nBy our border being open anyone can come through Mexico or just be in the U.S at the time that they make every immigrant a citizen.\n\n2. If the bill is passed can you promise me (A CITIZEN OF USA) that the people (without proper paperwork) that are running from their country are not rapist, killers, child molesters, terrorism, and drug suppliers? If others receive a right to be here by going through the system what was their reasons. \n\n3. What about other immigrants that don’t have a border to USA? Well if Mexico gets an ok we might as well go to Iraq to let them in before the bill is passed.\n\n4. Did they break the law? If the government is so into things about being right or wrong they should look within. Can I show the world that we as a nation says it ok for people to sneak in, ok for people to hire them knowing that they should not be here, get benefits that other people pay tax money for, send money back to their nation’s when our unemployment rate is so low as it is, and tell the families that lose a man or woman in this war that even if their over there to prevent another 911 that we are only letting the ones that are here citizens.\n\nREF to big_family_12 statment \n\nNot all Illegals pay taxes. And being that you are related to ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ( and they are here) you are a going to side with them in the first place. And yes they can get benfits from the goverment I know aleast three families who do get welfare check and one part of her families is not even in the USA. So don't act like its not happening here. Then you say the we as legal citizens get benfit we have a right to get( HOW DARE US) our goverment have made these benfits for us and we are unwilling to share. Then you ask for the first to through a stone ( true I can't I have speeded) but I have pay for ever speeding limit I have broken,and paper I have drope ( litering). So I might be a hipocits but I did the crime and pay for it why can't they.

San Francisco.\n\n1) San Fransisco would offer health care to any adult resident, regardless of immigration or employment status, under a plan announced Tuesday.\n\n2) San Francisco's Board of Supervisors passed a resolution Tuesday committing the city to offering legal aid and other assistance to illegal immigrants who could face criminal charges under proposed federal legislation\n\n3) The San Francisco Board of Education appears poised to kick the military's Junior ROTC programs out of the city's public schools, saying the Pentagon's refusal to allow openly gay service members is deplorable and not in line with the school district's anti-discrimination policy.\n\n4) San Francisco Votes to Ban USS Iowa - The San Francisco Board of Supervisors today voted 3-8 against a resolution urging the San Francisco Congressional Delegation to support the permanent berthing of the USS Iowa as a museum at the Port of San Francisco.\n\nSupervisor Tom Ammiano said today he didn't want the ship berthed in San Francisco because of the military's treatment of gays and lesbians and its "don't ask, don't tell'' policy.\n\n"It's dehumanizing,'' Ammiano said. "You are not allowed to be a gay or lesbian in the military except when there is a war and then when the war ends, you are kicked out.''\n\nSupervisors Ross Mirkarimi and Chris Daly also spoke out against the resolution, citing their opposition to the US occupation in Iraq.\n\n"I am sad to say I am not proud of the history of the United States of America since the 1940s,'' Daly said.

Ideally yes, \nIdeally there should be lots of mandatory things...\n\nbut realistically there are many factors to consider, age of person, disability, actual time within the country.\n\nFor example would you require a mute to speak. Or teach english to a 89 year old. Should immgrants speak english at the 8th grade level. most american speak at this level.\n\nWill they speak the KINGS ENGLish, because you know in america, we speak a form of english. Will we from a new buracracy to purify the English/American Language.\n\n\nRealistically if i am a company or service, i would rather be effective and efficient by providing other languages than be xenophobic.\nFor example if sell medicine in other countries besides the US i would use the other languages on my labels...makes good business sense.\n\nWe provide benefits to many people that do not speak English because we are not monsters, if a child was dying you would save that life without asking if they spoke English....you wouldn't let a human life die because of it even you are not a monster.\n\nBesides, your question is full of anger and bias. What you fail to point out is that most of the quality universities int the Untied States require a foreign language.\n\nIn fact many school districts require foreign language to graduate. There is a definite value in multiculturalism.\n\nAs a college educated person you must see that...\n\n\n\n\nBy the way the US is planning to build a superhighway four football fields long from Canada to Mexico.\nThey plan to implement one currency to easy trade, \nand plan to make English, Spanish and French the official languages.....maybe not today or tomorrow  but soon....i am not making this up.

Hire one of those firms that find people. The one I found below is located out of CA!

The signs should be in ENGLISH and SPANISH for their customers.\nThis country was founded by ENGLISH speakers on the Eastcoast and By SPANISH speakers in the Southwest.\n\nThe law of the land now is English and should remain the main language so that people will be able to communicate and profit from their knowledge of the language.\n\nThere is no DAMN excuse for those merchants to have signs in only spanish. It reminds of the WHITE ONLY signs deep down  in the old racist states.\n\nIt is just not right.\n\nThose merchants either put the signs in both languages or their licences should be revoked and banned from doing business in california.\n\nThis proposal should extend to all the states.\n\nI agree with Drtroup., He knows what he is talking about.\n\nTUNATNK>. Your making an invalid point.. The point is that we will not translate to ALL LANGUAGES>> The LANGUAGE OF THE LAND IS ENGLISH!! NOT FRENCH OR CHINESE!! OR RUSSIAN>!!\n\nThe signs need to be in whatever language and ENGLISH!!!

I would suggest reading a good article on immigration, titled "Immigration Has Different Impacts". You can view it at:\n\nhttp://www.sandiegolawyerforyou.com/san-diego-immigration-lawyer.htm\nhttp://www.sacramento-ca-lawyers-attorneys-directory.com/articles.html\nhttp://www.la-orange-county-lawyers-attorney-directory.com/los_angeles_orange-county-legal-services.htm\nhttp://www.dallas-fort-worth-texas-lawyers-attorneys-directory.com/dallas-legal-services.htm\nhttp://legal-advice-library.info/blog\nhttp://www.san-antonio-texas-lawyers-attorneys-directory.com\nhttp://www.las-vegas-nevada-lawyer-attorney-legal-injury-defense-directory.com

Just say that it is from somewhere it's not - like if it's in LA, say "Southern California" instead.  That is still truthful, but in a roundabout way.

Sounds legal to me.\n\nBut, check out a book, "Tenent's Rights" (or some such title) by Nolo Press at the booksore, library, or at www.nolo.com .  They have a California-specific version that should address this *exact* situation.

I am beginning to understand that illegal aliens vote, too.  I think we need to check voter eligibility at least after the fact.  The addresses are there, too, so we should be able to find offenders.\n\nIt is interesting that it is always the Democrats that block requirements for proof of citizenship for voters.  Long, long ago elderly shut ins might not have had ID.  However, I don't think anyone can get by with no ID anymore, if only for Medicaid. Citizenship is no harder to prove than getting any other ID.\n\nWe could certainly pass a law requiring proof of citizenship for everyone under the age of 70, or something, if this is really seen as a problem.  However, no one says you shouldn't have to prove insurance eligibility with an insurance card, so why should you not have to prove eligibility to vote?\n\nLiving in Southern California, this is a real concern for me.
