Immigration question.......requested from a recent Instant message from Liz?
476881
For me, it's not clear how education affects illegal immigration. You could argue that an abundance of poorly educated citizens, scavenging for low pay jobs, might actually deter illegal immigration.\n \nWhat is clear, is that well educated people are less threatened by illegal immigration because their job's profile is not that of the kind that an illegal might take. Further on, since they are likely to hire some of these illegals, they might benefit from the cheap labor.

I don't have a profile, but I agree with her. Unless, there are certain limitations in your profile, you can still be sent. You may be in the rear while over there.

I got reported for asking 'who else is from SC' said it was solicitation. I just asked a question. Also I told in an answer for someone who wanted a recipe for dog to 'go away'. not sure what they said was wrong with that.

Tell you what.  Tell me another country which is better at accommodating immigrants.  Tell me fscking one?  Tell me another country where you could fit in faster.\n\nScrew it.\n\nDo you know how many religions/races/origins we have in the US?  Do you understand how we try to accommodate them?  \n\nHell, we are not perfect.  But give me the name of another country that does better and why.\n\nYou fit in here, you succeed.  Don't matter where you came from, or your past.\n\nFit in, you got it made.\n\nName me another damned country where you can do that.\n\nYou are here, great.  Oh, don't send me any spam e-maills about your great uncle that needs my bank account number to transfer all his money into to get it out of the country.\n\nFrankly that crap pisses me off.\n\nBy the way, welcome to America.  And actually, very happy you are here.\n\nCarry on, I finished my rant.

Yep.  I got this email today.  Sums it up nicely.\n\n"Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration.  Certain people are angry that the U.S. might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely.  Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.\n \nLet's say I break into your house.  Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave.  But I say, "I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors; I've done all the things you don't like to do.  I'm hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house)."\n \nAccording to the protesters, not only must you let me stay, you must add me to your family's insurance plan and provide other benefits to me and to my family (my husband will do your yard work because he too is hard-working and honest, except for that breaking in part).  If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my right to be there.  It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better \nmyself.  I'm hard-working and honest . um, except for ... well, you know.\n \nAnd what a deal it is for me!!   I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of selfishness, prejudice and being anti-housebreaker.\n \nDid I miss anything?  Does this sound reasonable to you?  If it does, grab a sign and go picket something.    If this sounds insane to you, call your senators and enlighten them because they are stumbling in the darkness right now and really need your help."\n \nLinda Myers\nApril 10, 2006 -  New-Sentinel

Applied for citizenship based on what?\n\nWhat did you put in the box asking if you applied?\n\nYour story is funny, but does not sound true to me.

I am totally for immigration; however I feel as though signing the guest book is a must.  This is what our country was founded on and I think we should still be open to new people, but at least let us know your here.

Not sure who the "you" in this message is supposed to be, but it does not sound like that party is on this forum.\n\nYou'll have to send your complaint to the right channel, this is not the place.\n\nGood luck!

I am assuming this is a class assignment since it has been asked a couple times tonight..\n\n "Do you think that immigration should be limited or that any limits should be lifted - Why"\n\n"Do you think that it is different today than in the past and why?"\n\n"Do you think that illegal immigration should be punished and why?"\n\n"Who do you think should have to pay for the immigration process (background checks etc.)?"\n\n"What do you think should be the criteria, if any, for someone wanting to be a citizen (in the past there were job and or monetary requirements, should there be now and why)?"\n\n"Should our immigration laws be stricter or more lenient than other countries'?"\n\nHope this gets you started. Good Luck!

I am Hispanic and I have a Hispanic accent. So once I put a message on my machine that sounded just like Cheech Marin of the Cheech and Chong days.  \n\nI said "Hey Man, what yu doin?! There is nobody at home, man. The door was locked... but I found a window open.. yu want to leave a message, man?  Hey, good talking to you, man. I gotta get back to my work, before they come home.."\n\nNot knowing about my message, my mom called me. She listened, was real quiet... then she tells my brother, "there is someone in Joe's house, I don't think he is there... some foreigner, I think."\n\nI quickly had to tell my brother that it was me, and shortly after that, I deleted the message.
