yes being here illegally is a crime. like u have a point on "just and liberty for all" but you dont always have to come here illegally. its not like people are going around searching to take someone back to mexico but if the police or watever find out they may send you back or just fine you BIG TIME

I have the same question for anything that involves a 'pass'.  How do you enforce their leaving?  Right now up to half of the people here came legally and overstayed visas.  Why would these passes miraculously be enforced?

I don't think so. Whose gonna do the unwanted jobs then? Easy for some people to say yes but they wouldn't dare do the jobs these people do. Did you ever think that some of these people came here legally to be able to support their families but majority of them ended up being abused by their employers so they ended up illegals? I have heard a lot of stories and verified them. Some of the bad things that happened to them were done by by our fellow Americans and you talk of having electric fences? What's the matter with you? I bet your ancestors would love to hear your comments when they came here as immigrants too. If they'd have known what the future generation would be maybe they would have aborted you.

It takes a loooooong time. They dont generally exaggerate a whole lot on the websites. That is based on when it is a busy period, but I think it probably takes a little bit less. Good Luck with the immigration process.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR\n\n\nAppropriate Procedures. Unemployment benefit payments to illegal aliens can, largely, be prevented by more careful verification before a first payment is made. Following is the recommended general procedure for implementing a verification system. Specific procedures must be developed jointly with the INS.\n\nWhen a claimant indicates that he or she is not a U.S. citizen, the claimant should be asked to produce his or her immigration document. If the claimant does not have a document, he or she should be advised that no determination of eligibility will be made until such time as the claimant returns to the local office with the required document\n\n        Immigrant Entry and Native Exit \n\nLooking first at all workers shows that between March 2000 and March 2005 only 9 percent of the net increase in jobs for adults (18 to 64) went to natives. This is striking because natives accounted for 61 percent of the net increase in the overall size of the 18 to 64 year old population. \n\n\nAs for the less-educated, between March of 2000 and 2005 the number of adult immigrants (legal and illegal) with only a high school degree or less in the labor force increased by 1.6 million. \n\nA national unemployment rate of 5 percent is irrelevant to the current debate over illegal immigration because illegals are overwhelmingly employed in only a few occupations, done mostly by workers with only a high school degree or less. In these high-illegal occupations, native unemployment averages 10 percent — twice the national average. Moreover, the unemployment rate does not consider the growing percentage of less-educated workers who are not even looking for work and have left the labor market altogether. It would be an oversimplification to assume that each job taken by an immigrant is a job lost by a native. What is clear is that the last five years have seen a record level of immigration. At the same time, the unemployment rate of less-educated natives has remained high and the share that have left the labor force altogether has grown significantly. Wage growth has also generally been weak. Thus it is very hard to see any evidence of a labor shortage that could justify allowing illegal aliens to stay or to admit more as guestworkers. Rather, the available evidence suggests that immigration may be adversely impacting less-educated natives. The statistical findings of this study are consistent with other research that has looked at the pattern of immigrant job gains and native loses in recent years\nhttp://www.cis.org/articles/2006/back206.html\n\n\n\nThe U.S. unemployment rate today is at the highest level in 20 years. \nMillions of hard-working Americans who are desperate for jobs can't find them, and both the short term and long term prospects do not bode well for many American workers.\n\nThe economic problems we face would be bad enough if all we had to contend with were a recovering economy, the continued threat of terrorism, and increased competition from foreign companies. \n\nBut a Congress that should be looking for ways to help unemployed Americans is busy opening the floodgates to millions of new immigrants who take jobs away from Americans - and also helping companies take the remaining jobs offshore.\n\nIt almost appears that our government is committed to making sure everybody in the world has a job - except Americans.\n\nHistorically, the U.S. admitted around 300,000 legal immigrants per year, but Congress changed our immigration policies back around 1965 and opened the floodgates. We now allow more than a MILLION legal immigrants into the country each year. A small number of these are refugees; some have special skills not easily found here. But an increasingly large percentage of those pouring through our borders are undereducated, unskilled workers who threaten the income of blue-collar workers, the backbone of America. Millions more come here each year ILLEGALLY, and the government does nothin

Great immigration question.

Ditto to hobbit.  If it's worth it enough, you'll do it right. You're welcomed to come, but do it legally. You are not above the law. You cannot come here illegally and expect us to look the other way "because you're only here to work hard at the jobs no one else wants," And then turn around and demand a living wage or unionize to bully your way to a better salary like the farmworkers and the hotelworkers have done. Do you want to be above the law? Than you can't expect the law to be on your side when it would work to your benefit.

If your story were true, you wouldnt need help from us, try looking for an immigration lawyer.

full amnesty is not the answer. Setting quotas for each country is what the immigration policy has been about ever since the early 1900's. Didn't work then, won't work now.

Hard to get, intentionally. The US is in a somewhat protectionist mood over the last couple years. If you're serious about wanting to be in the US, get to know everything about it (history, society, etc.)--that will help with your citizenship process.

Sounds great to me, although on the news there've been people that have turned in illegal aliens repeatedly to INS and the government never even investigated. But hey it's worth a try.

Call the IMMIGRATION and NATURALIZATION SERVICE ( INS ). They will be in the gov't pages of your phone book. Only they can tell you the true procedures, other than a lawyer who specializes in such cases.

Immigration will always be there regardless on the amount of money you spend.  More money can limit immigration(illegal), but it will never stop it.  If someone really wants to get here, they will.  If you lock the doors to your house, someone can still break in if they really want to.

No that's not truth.\nThe government is giving priority to national students, while foreigners are allowed in schools but visas are not given unless their parents are legallized or if they borned there, but that involves students into legal acts.

Contact the INS, they are the only ones, other than an expensive immigration attorney, that can give you dependable legal advice in this area. You should not try to obtain this kind of legal information on-line. The immigration laws are always changing, especially now with the mass of illegals in the U.S. Good luck with your endeavor! I wish you all the best! Thank you for being a responsible citizen and not trying to take short cuts! BRAVO! :)\n\nYou may also need to contact an adoption attorney. This is a VERY sensitive case, make sure to get PROPER legal advice from reputable sources. Don't try to ASSUME things just because you were informed of it by a relative or someone who has gone through the process many years ago. U.S. laws are always being changed. Once again, good luck!
