Immrigrant's Rights
Please note that i'm quoting CNN ^_^. And CNN quote others too, so we're quoting a quote.
After reading the article on CNN yesterday that was previous before this one, I was sorta suprised that the immrigrants were acutally going to go protest against the restricitve immrigration that the US is putting upon soon if it was ratifyed. But as of today, many immrigrants and supporters have pratically boycotted their job and works to participate in the protest. Facts - ECONOMIC EFFECTS Companies affected by Monday's demonstrations include: Tyson Foods Inc. - closed a dozen of 100 plants, reduced staff at others Perdue Farms - closed 8 of 14 chicken plants Goya Foods - suspended delivery everywhere except Florida Gold Kist - closed two poultry facilities, reduced staff at two others Cargill Meat Solutions - closed plants in six states McDonald's Corp. - some restaurants operated with limited crews These are the largest companies smacked by this, and there's more too. And here are some of the cities affected by this.
And again this list isn't completed too. Though i'm not against or with it, I do believe some restriction should be enforced. The protesters demand a reform, but we're already in a national crisis. Quote:

In addition, would you want rapists and other violent criminals to have easy access to your country? I think not. So sometimes these laws are there to protect. However, I do also feel that wealthy countries have an obligation to take into their fold a certain percentage of refugees. These can be both political or economic unless they have a criminal record. |

And as a note, if I remember correctly, what you have pointed out in your second sentence may not be guaranteed at all. |

The french have thier foreign legion but the US does not have anything like that. Secca, that will happen right after all of Earth fall under one goverment which should happen 1 year after world peace is achieve. Which imo will never happen. It is a nice dream but human nature being what it is, it will never happen. Gryff, you are missing point. No one said they are agaisnt LEGAL immgration but they are against ILLEGAL immgration. Imagin yourself on a friday at the bank with a long waiting line. You are waiting in place in the line patiently, grumbling but still waiting in line moving up slowly. All of a sudden some guy cut in front. How do you feel about that? Thats what illegal immgraints are doing they are cutting in line in front of people who are patiently waiting in line to have thier papers process. So is it fair to the people who are waiting patiently and following the rules by allowing illegal immgrants to cut in line and push back the processing date for those who are trying to get in the US legally?

I don't know if anyone can answer this for me. but i always wonder about it. If people are willing to die to come to the US. Why aren't they willing to die to change their country for the better?

I haven't been really following the story in depth but great news for all those people demonstrating in Kathmandu in Nepal. Looks like your voice has been heard and democracy may stand a chance as long as you can get rid of this outdated system of royalty. However, I cannot see them (royal family) giving up their pampered lifestyles without more of a fight. Their wealth should be distributed amongst the poor and needy. Why should people who have all these benefits simply from being born to the right family sit on their fat arses all their lives and do nothing except leech on the backs of others. |

The problem is the political, economic, and social mess running from Mexico into Central America. If things were better there, the people living there would have little reason to illegally immigrate into the US. Looking at the northern border with Canada, it's not like you see a lot of news headlines about truckloads of Canadians illegally crossing the border into the US looking for an opportunity to work in low wage US jobs.
I don't see the guest worker program as a real solution since it attempts to unilaterally address the effects of a problem in the US...but the source of the problem which resides in foreign countries will continue. If unilateral action is all the US can rely upon, the government would be better off to start with getting the border fully secured and then later consider implementing a guest worker program to address the situation of illegal immigrants who are already in the country or who wish to enter for this reason. So long as people can cross along the border wherever and for whatever reason, that's a matter which should be fixed first. |

Too many people ignore or simply don't know the importance of immigrants in our society. When immigration laws were being debated in California, the stongest opposers were not the immigrants, but the farmers in southern california. the simple truth was that they could not maintain their farms with out the immigrants. it's all well and good to say they are violating our laws but how are we supposed to replace the massive work force that is made up of immigrants. i always thought it was strange that people protest the enforcment of laws. the senate is not proposing a change to the deffinition of "illegal immigration" they are simply proposing that we begin enforcing the law. if you are going to protest you should protest the law itself not the enforcment of the law.
i am also not so sure about the idea of anmesty of earned citizenship. isn't this essentialy saying that if you can avoid immigration officers for some set period of time you earn citizenship. by breaking the law for a long time you become a citizen. am i missing something, because that sounds kinda strange.

What the political and economic mess down there? I don't know much about the history of that part of the world so i would be very intrested if someone could explain it to me. What cause that mess down there? The people are hardworking. They are smart and the land is rich in natural resources. So what is the cause? Countries like Chile, Agrentina and Costa Rica seems to be doing pretty well. Others like Brazil has some problems but is generally on the upswing. So whats wrong with the other countries?
