what do you guys think of it? Any of you keeping abreast of the issue? from what i get they seem to have 3 options they are mulling over...

1. Making illegal immigration a felony
2. Basically allowing illegal immigration so as to allow for that they can staff these lower wage jobs that they now fill...and possibly eventually give these people a path to becoming a citizen...
3. Send their arses back to their country and let them wait in line like everyone else who is going through the filing process...

i can be wrong on these issues...but tell me what you think...

it just a scare, the capitalist system couldnt manifest without it please.......

The fact is applications for immigration discriminate against non-educated poor people. So those that are suffering the most and are seeking the dream the most are the ones not allowed to immigrate. So they do it illegally.

3/30: Action Needed For Senate Immigration Bill, Call Your Senator!

1. Why the Senate's Proposed Immigrant Bill is Bad for the Immigrants.
2. Take Action! Call Your Senator to Support Comprehensive Immigration Reform!
On March 27, the Senate Judiciary Committee passed the Immigration Bill (The Chairman’s Mark/Specter Bill), and bring to debate and at the Congress, it'll make any modifications for the final vote (it could be days, weeks or months).
Attached is a summary of the final day of Senate Judiciary Committee mark up (prepared by AILA). Go to http://www.cirnow.org/file/333.pdf
(http://www.cirnow.org/file/333.pdf) to view the bill that passed on March 27th: The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006.
We believe the bill is bad, bad and bad!

Why? although there's some encourage modification and proposals on the bill, remember that Senator Frist and others may still bring his own bill to the floor which has all these provisions and worse. Which means some “good” elements of the bill could be taken away (such as: AgJob, DREAM Act), and more “bad” proposals can be put in.

Here are Six Egregious Provisions in the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Bill (The Chairman’s Mark/Specter Bill), prepared by New York Immigrant Defense Project:
1. Expedited Removal
The Specter bill allows the government to remove more immigrants without any court hearing. Any immigrant who is found within 14 days of arrival and within 100 miles of the Mexican or Canadian borders -- for example, immigrants found in El Paso, San Diego and Detroit – would be subject to this. This would allow ICE to grab people from the streets and increases the ability of the Federal government to engage in selective enforcement. A separate provision would allow the government to remove any immigrant without a court hearing simply by claiming that they have been convicted of an aggravated felony or a firearm offense -- with limited ability to challenge the changes against them and without having the right to apply for relief that may have been available to them.
Why this is bad: This provision would give the Department of Homeland Security unfettered authority to determine who is subject to “expedited removal” and would result in people being detained the ability to have a fair hearing. People who may have a basis to fight their deportation will be deported without being able to present their case.
2. Expansion of term “Aggravated Felony”
The Specter bill expands this term to include misdemeanor drunk driving offenses, minor accessory roles in the conduct of others, additional document-related offenses, providing some types of assistance to undocumented friends, neighbors and family members.
Why this is bad: The provision would result in the mandatory detention and deportation of greencard holders and others who are in the U.S. on visas, such as students. A judge would have no discretion to consider whether a person has a long standing ties to the U.S., kids or a spouse who is a U.S. citizen, law changed that her life around, or other equities.
3. Expansion of mandatory detention and increase in detention beds The Specter bill increases detention by 50% with the addition of 10,000 beds and allows military bases to be used to meet this increase.
Why this is bad: this expands a system that is already rife with abuse and substandard conditions and exponentially ballooning costs (currently it costs approximate $85 - $100/person per day). It creates armed camps around the country while seducing local communities with the lure of jobs and breaks in their property taxes.
In addition, a separate provision could lead to the mandatory detention of immigrants who fail to file a change of address form with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) within 10 days. This ignores the DHS’s problem with its address system, languages issues, and confusion about where to file address changes.

Why this is bad: It takes away the right to an individual hearing, separates families – children from parents, partners from each other – for long periods of time, and forces people to languish in detention centers for from their homes. The threat of this protracted period of detention also encourages people to give up on fighting their deportation cases and impinges on access control.
4. Indefinite Detention
The Specter bill would overturn Supreme Court decisions and allow the government to indefinitely detain many immigrants with final orders. This would be applied retroactively to individuals.
Why this is bad: Like mandatory detention, indefinite detention also separates families and forces people to languish in detention centers far from their homes. Allowing the Federal government to indefinitely detain such large numbers of people will also contribute to the high cost.
5. Local Law Enforcement
While it does not go as far as some proposed legislation to require cooperation between immigration authorities and local law enforcement, the Specter bill encourages local police to enter into agreements which allow them to enforce immigration law and gives local governments the inherent authority to enforce immigration law.
Why this is bad: This provision would be a public safety disaster. By turning local law enforcement into immigration police, immigrants would be afraid to turn to local police, social service agencies, and even emergency services for assistance.
It also authorizes state and local governments to issues detainers to hold any immigrant after they finish a state prison sentence until DHS takes custody and to detain any “illegal alien” who is removable or not lawfully present for 14 days after completion of a prison sentence.

Why this is bad: These provisions would allow local governments to determine whether a person is a non-citizen, is lawful present or removable, which they are not equipped to make. It also gives them free reign to detain immigrants for long periods of time with no criminal or immigration charges filed against them, and invites widespread abuse, including racial profiling, retaliation against specific persons or groups.
6. Increased Border Militarization
Why this is bad: The indiscriminate increase in border patrol agents and resources for enforcement will lead to more deaths on the border and increased militarization of border communities.

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo

In 1848, at the conclusion of the U.S.- Mexican War, the two countries signed the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo. The treaty called for Mexico to give up almost half of its territory, which included modern-day California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and parts of Colorado, Nevada, and Utah. In return, the U.S. paid $15 million in compensation for war-related damage to Mexican land.

Among the notable aspects of the treaty, it set the Texas border at the Rio Grande; it provided for the protection of the property and civil rights of Mexican nationals who would now be living on U.S. soil; the United States agreed to police its side of the border; and both countries agreed to compulsory arbitration of future disputes. However, when the United States Senate ratified the treaty, it erased Article 10, which guaranteed the protection of Mexican land grants; Article 9, which deals with citizenship rights, was also weakened. This in turn created an anti-Mexican atmosphere that spurred the violation of their civil rights. In Texas, Mexicans were restricted from voting. In New Mexico, Mexicans were the victims of violence, while in California, laws against them were passed, some of which were known as the Greaser Laws.


At the time of the treaty, approximately 80,000 Mexicans lived in the ceded territory, which comprised only about 4 percent of Mexico’s population. Only a few people chose to remain Mexican citizens compared to the many that became United States citizens. Most of the 80,000 residents continued to live in the Southwest, believing in the guarantee that their property and civil rights would be protected. Sadly, this would not always be the case. By the end of the 19th century, most Mexicans had lost their land, either through force or fraud.

In the Chicano movement in the late 1960s, New Mexico land rights leader Reies Lopez Tijerina and his Alianza movement cited the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in their fight to regain American-seized Mexican land. In 1972, the Brown Berets youth organization also cited the treaty in their takeover of Catalina Island.

In terms of property ownership, many property rights existing under Spanish and Mexican land grants were not recognized by the United States. In California, approximately 27 percent of land grant claims were rejected; in the territory of New Mexico, some 76 percent of such claims were rejected.

So all these people screaming about Mexicans and US border security in Cali are actually defending land that is not legitimately theirs anyway and Mexicans technically have right to claim part of that land? Interesting. I dunno if its ole age or what but does anyone else feel themselves becoming increasingly anti American lately?
