INS Plans Tp Free Long-Term Detaniees
I've been one of the most outspoken, albeit, senseable opponents to illegal immigration and runaway legal immigration for years (including protests on the streets of Los Angeles), but this seems good policy to me. Locate those we can, put those we invited here into a viable system of tracking, and at the same time restrict incoming visas and border crossings. This is all happening. Anyone want to argue nothing's happened at the borders should go take a look at the hours long wait to cross.
The INS and affiliated beaurocrats have a long way to go IMHO, but this actually makes sense to me. This is NOT amnesty, it's what the INS should have been doing all along - controlling the visa situation.
Tell me, why do you STILL support this so called "conservative" president?
You can't deal with reality can you?
Oh nevermind I get it now, you're being sarcastic, right?
Once again...
Section 245 of the Act allows an alien to apply for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident (LPR) while in the United States if certain conditions are met. The alien must have been inspected and admitted or paroled, be eligible for an immigrant visa and admissible for permanent residence, and, with some exceptions, have maintained lawful nonimmigrant status. The alien must also not have engaged in unauthorized employment. Section 245(i) of the Act allows an alien to apply to adjust status under section 245 notwithstanding the fact that he or she entered without inspection, overstayed, or worked without authorization.
LINK.Last week's 245(i) extension was specifically about Illegals.
Letting Illegals stay = Amnesty for those Illegals.
Some so-call conservatives make me sick! The purer than anybody else and unless others do exactly what they say,they dessert their friends.
On the up side, I am correct about the increase border security (have seen it), and with last weeks INS visa "snafu" you can bet that system is going to revamped, as has been posted here.
I'm sorry but this is wrong. This is the Republican spin and is not true. The new bill extends the amnesty created by 245.
245 created a 3 year window for illegal aliens to apply to become legal. The three years is almost up and this bill extends that amnesty for 6 more months. The Republicans don't want people to know this, because the vast majority of Americans is against giving these criminals any more time.
To understand this you have to go to the original law which clearly states that it gives amnesty to the criminals. The new bill is constructed in such a way as to obscure that.
I'll take what I can get, but until there are significant deportations from the interior, we have a de facto Amnesty anyway.
No he hasn't. He seems to care more about giving amnesty to illegal aliens than pushing for a ban on partial-birth abortion like he promised he would do. There are many other areas where he has broken promises as well, such as making sure criminals pay for their crimes. Clinton and company are sure paying for their crimes, now aren't they?
Agreed. I'm a proponent of most deportations. However, some cases require a little humanity, but those are a small percentage.
Bush was never my "friend." I voted for him because I didn't want Gore up there. I was praying he would actually do what he promised to do since he said he was a born again Christian.
Oh the irony.
Dale Carnegie?
