miamimike says on May 14, 2007, 02:10: They need to Deep-Six that anchor Baby BS Law Looking at those figures, its no wonder the US is going bankrupt! When I worked in Immigration at the Federal Krome detention center, the Amount of Taxpayer's money detaining Illegals was mind Boggling. Add Free (to them, not us)Medical care on top of that, and it was quite the tidy sum. In Jamaica and the Bahamas not long ago, they had like 70 Cuban Rafters land on the Bahamas and their Prime Minister called Fidel and said "We have 70 of your Citizens detained here and tomorrow we are putting them on a Plane and sending 'em back to you" Since the Bahamas have formal relations(unlike us) with Cuba and a Deportation agreement, Castro accepted them back! Too bad we don't have an agreement like that! They need to deep six that Cuban Adjustment act that grants these people permenent US Residency after 1 yr, 1 day and with this benefit gone, they will stop coming in such large numbers. Immigration will then be fair for all immigrants; as it is now, its very unfair for all other groups~! "Wait a minute. What did you just say? You're predicting $4-a-gallon gas? That's interesting.

Gator says on May 14, 2007, 08:33: Anchor Baby Not only Latin Americans have figured out Uncle Sam’s birthright bonanza. South Koreans have created a birth tourism industry. Korean tour operators fly Korean mothers into Los Angeles and other American cities, there to give birth —in Korean-owned clinics with Korean staff— to be an "American." There are even websites like www.birthinusa.com that advertise "from birth to citizenship." Korean chaperons help get the babies California birth certificates and U.S. passports to take home. Junior can then dodge Korea’s draft —and sponsor his/her family in America when reaching a certain age if they feel like moving. Pledging allegiance to the United States has nothing to do with it "Brevior Sltare Cum Deformibus Mulieribus Est Vita!" . 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

Miguel_Clavo says on May 14, 2007, 11:05: I think Gator has the right idea for the anchor baby problem. it is a real shame that all one needs to do is come here anyway they can, pop out a puppy, then use that to get the rest of the gang in.......they need to change that, but that would be the smart thing to do....out of the reach of intelligence for the politicians....

miamimike says on May 14, 2007, 12:10: Yep-I agree with Gator on tha Anchor baby Law! In El Paso, Mexican Women cross over to El Paso in the last few days of their pregnancy to drop the Kid and claim US Citizenship for their Kids. What a Scam. They have bankrupted the local hospitals there; another law like the Cuban Adjustment Act that needs DEEP-SIXING but don't look for the President or Congress to repeal it as it is now-they like vote pandering! BTW, A Person holding US Citizenship technically cannot have Allegiance to another flag! Also they must defend the US Flag in time of War! Last few lines in this Wikipedia Link, Requirements for obtaining US Citizenship: "Wait a minute. What did you just say? You're predicting $4-a-gallon gas? That's interesting. I hadn't heard that." -- Feb. 28, 2008 --George W. Bush, Washington, D.C. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

Gator says on May 14, 2007, 13:39: The USSC... ,Mike, knocked that out of the box with a legal opinion. The Supreme Court of the United States has stated that dual nationality is "a status long recognized in the law" and that "a person may have and exercise rights of nationality in two countries and be subject to the responsibilities of both. The mere fact that he [sic] asserts the rights of one citizenship does not without more mean that he renounces the other" (see Kawakita v. U.S., 343 U.S. 717 [1952] ).

Mr. Hollywood says on May 14, 2007, 14:50: My understanding is That there's no formal way for a Colombian to "renounce" his/her citizenship. Funny that in a country with so many tramites they don't have a flurry of paperwork for that task.
