    Immigration Thing!

    As not many of you know, I am a mexican. I am still not a registered U.S. citizen but will be soon. All of my life, I have had american beliefs and thiking inbeded into my very being so I was born a mexican and raised american. I am 18, and have basically been american 17 of those years. I guess that will help with what I will write about.
     
    Ok then, now back to my subject.
     
    I don't really think illegal immigrants are doing a very smart thing. They are illegaly here so they kind of don't that much say in what can or cannot do in this country.
    I am a bit against into making it a felony to enter this country. The U.S cannot and must not have that kind of power to sentence a citizen of another country to jail. That's just plain stupid.
    In the other hand, illegal immigrants must get their permits or their residencial cards or whatever for them to work here. It is hurting the economy when they win money and take it to Mexico and spend it there.
     
    One dumb thing that I saw that some protestors did was burning the flag. Why are they trying to say by doing that? Are they trying to make the country for which they want to work for mad or something like that? It just boggles my mind to understand why they would do that. It kind of puts them in the same league as a terrrorist burning a flag for hatred towards this great country. That's what I think.
     
    One proposal that I have been thinking and hope that maybe someone will listen to is this.
    For just one year and no more the Naturalization process and it's requirements should be lowered. The money used to pay for such a process must go down. The time required and the time it takes for this entire process should be cut to a lesser amount. Why do I think this should be done? Well, this way, illegal immigrants will be able to get their permits and whatever without actually doing it for free. They will have to go through such a process, a much easier one, and thus allow the U.S. to fully get what they need from them such as taxes and whatnot.
    The proposal of just granting I.M's their citizenship will just drain the U.S of much needed money but by doing something closely related to what I said, not only does it help the U.S. with some money but the immigrants themselves will have an easier time getting it.
     
    If some I.M's don't wish to go through it, too bad for them. After the given year the border protection and such should be increased just a bit and again make the requirements of Naturalization as they once were.
     
    That's what I think about all of this. If anyone thinks otherwise, then great! :D
    Say what you want to say, it's your right!
     
    Laterz everyone!

    Wow....u are a mexican! (not that thats a bad thing bc i actually think its cool)....this shows how little i know about u....anyways...back on topic.  First of all sorry that i called ur gf (kinda not gf) Rachelle...hadnt talked to u in a while so i thought thats who u were still seeing since thats who u were talking about a while ago.  Second, i have read what u have said about the whole immigration thing and i believe what u are saying is right.  Just the other day i believe our american history teacher told us that it is illegal for illegal immigrants to protest in america.  Now how crazy is that? To me, i think that it is downright goofy for people that arent even americans to come here and tell us what to do.  But then again....its kinda of the same thing that the us is doing with iraq and all them other countries isnt it.  We basically go in there and tell them that we dont like how their government is run and make them change it with force none the less.  So in  a way we are hypocritical in telling the illegals that they cant protest.  Another thing is yeah they arent exactly going to win over the americans and get them on their side by burning the flag that represents us.  What they should have done was do a non-violent protest like dr king did with the african americans u know?  Just a thought....Then theres the thing u were talking about how they dont have to pay taxes and they take their money back home.  I have had some pesonal indepth view into this subject bc my parents run a construction company and we hire (legal) mexicans.  When we make out payroll they have to pay state tax but no federal tax.  I believe, like u said, that they should have to pay that tax bc they live here in america just like the rest of us.  It shouldnt matter what country they are from bc really almost everyone in america has originated from some other country and with that in mind we should ALL be exempt from those taxes then. The plan u have devised is a genius one indeed.  Too bad president bush wasnt as smart common sense wise like u are...(sorry if u like bush....)  Anyways...gtg...by the way nice topic today and i hope that u get all ur papers and everything sorted out so that u can be legal!  Talk to u later....
