>>Her own book on the subject of putting Americans of Japanese descent in camps.<<

I see what you mean. I strongly disagree with Malkin on this point. There were some Japanese spies on the west coast in WW2, but then I’m sure we have Russian spies here now, and it would be absolutely wrong to put all descendants of Russians in camps.

Still, anybody that Geraldo hates is probably not all bad. And I don’t know of any evidence that Malkin is anti-Japanese in general.

>>BTW, when you get a visa to “emigrate” you get that Green Card before you show up. (that’s what they did several decades back). In more recent times the appoval can come later as folks go through what is known as a “formal change in status”.

Michelle’s birth was the proximate reason for the justification in change of status for her parents.<<

I am pretty sure that around 1980 green cards were not issued outside the USA. “Several decades back,” as you phrased it, is obviously not precise enough to prove your premise.

What I find hard to believe is that a doctor from the Philippines would have to resort to having an “anchor baby” to get resident status.

Still waiting on someone to pop up with the identity of those Japanese spies. Only one I know of was working at the Manhattan Project ~ he was from England I believe ~ definitely a white guy.

Sorge found out about him (for Joe Stalin from Stalin's spies) and next thing you know the guy fled the project.

Michelle Malkin was much more interested in the government's efforts to keep the Japanese descent women and children locked up in horse stalls and so forth. She liked that I gather ~ gave her a buzz when she learned about it!!

Frankly, someone should have interrogated Michelle's parents for 15 or 20 minutes to see how interested they were in assimilation.

BTW, guy wasn’t a “doctor from the Philippines” ~ read carefully ~ he was a student at the time.

VISA, not Greencard. Today it's common for folks to change status INSIDE the USA. Not so long ago you actually had to leave the USA to change your status and get a different visa, to say nothing of a visa to immigrate into the country.

Michelle's parents were presumably lawful entrants with a family "student visa". The law at that time, and now, requires that when a baby is born he or she must be added to the family visa.

US citizens are not, of course, required to have a visa to enter or stay in the country.

There's a discontinuity in the law and the fair way to deal with it is to simply return all persons required to be entered on a family visa to their native country to make an application for immigration ~ like everybody else.

Wouldn't bother me a bit to help Michelle board the plane home eh!
