Your citizen action will force the INS to open a case file on the complaint.

Okay, here is my citizen action. I encourage all to report Steve as an illegal alien (criminal alien) Crime: Social Ignorance (or just plain bigotry)

People like you is why we have social tension in America. When is your next clan meeting? It is you that is both offensive and sickening. I'm glad people here can see what kind of person (or windbag) you are.

SteveStromberg 06-28-2004 07:54 PM

John seen your next door neighbors?

Well the INS now callled ICE is rounding up the criminal Aliens . About time, I notice a lot fewer of them on the streets these days. I guess getting shipped back to your country of origin is keeping them inside. Good Work ICE keep it up.

Activists Plan Protest Against Border Patrol Sweeps
Border Patrol Officials Stand By Their Actions

POSTED: 6:08 am PDT June 28, 2004
UPDATED: 6:16 am PDT June 28, 2004

LOS ANGELES -- Activists plan a rally outside the U.S. Border Patrol office in Temecula, Calif., Monday to protest two recent immigration sweeps.

Officials with the Department of Homeland Security have said the raids in Riverside and San Bernardino counties went against department policy.

Many Hispanic residents across Southern California say hearing that Border Patrol agents traveled more than 100 miles from the border to detail illegal immigrants stoked fear in their communities.

Border Patrol officials say they aren't conducting random raids, but only going into areas where they know there are people who entered the country illegally.

They say their role is to enforce immigration laws, regardless of how far from the border that takes them.

Interesting. I'd be intrigued to know how one distinguishes a legal alien from an illegal one.

SteveStromberg 06-28-2004 08:07 PM

Is very simple here. After you are in LA just a few hours you can pick them out no problem.

SteveStromberg 06-28-2004 08:10 PM

Federal law requires All Non citzens to have their Green Card with them at all times. No Green Card you are in the country Illegally.

CamB 06-28-2004 08:41 PM

I'm pretty sure that a friend of mine living in SF - a New Zealander (by birth) with Sri Lankan parents (ie, he's Sri Lankan looking) - looked exactly the same both before and after he got his green card.

For the avoidance of doubt, he looked "foreign" then and now.

SteveStromberg 06-28-2004 09:26 PM

Heres the deal. Everyday between 10,000 to 25,000 people from countries south of the United States cross over our southern border everyday.

What would you do if every day hundreds of boats landed in wellington bay and discharged their passangers on the shore?

Racist crap.

widebody911 06-29-2004 07:11 AM

I did a lot of farm work growing up. The 'deal' my dad made with me was I could work at home for free, or go out and get a job for someone else and get paid. Either way, my a55 was going to be workin;. I did all kinds of difference stuff. Picking cucumbers, loading sacks of onions in the fields, drving tractors, irrigation, etc etc. From there I moved to timber work (I'd always wanted to be... a Lumberjack!), such as timber surveying, timber marking, falling, etc.

911ctS 06-29-2004 08:32 AM

Well this is a very interesting thread.

Steve- I totally agree with you on this subject. We have already given amnesty how many times now? Did it greatly improve the quality of life then? No, and it is just turning a blind eye to real problems to come. The problem is that there are the extreme Democrats, who are bleeding hearts and leave water for them in the desert, and put tags on them so when they are found, us citizens (for some reason) are obligated to give them medical attn. In contrast, the Repubs. could give a $hit for their lives, but they view them as nothing more than cheap labor and can capitalize off them. So in a vague nut shell the Dem's are helping line the Rep's pockets in this matter. With both political sides the way they are, unfortionately I dont see things changing anytime soon.:mad:

The worst part is... you and I are paying for all their hand outs in our taxes, while helping the capitalists get richer. I personally do all my own chores and dont see whats so hard about it. Or give the neighbors kid $5 to cut the grass. Big deal.

Why dont some of you check out MECHA and tell me what you see. Just type it in google. They have a group on almost every HS campus in the US. WTF? I gotta get outta this country.:(

RickM 06-29-2004 08:45 AM

For the record:
These people do pay taxes. Think about it.

but do they pay for their... children's free meal card at school, that car they hit (being un-insured), the dialysis that they needed when they were found half dead in the AZ desert. No, and do their employers pay this? No. I pay this and I dont like it at all. Makes me want to "do my own taxes" because Im loosing confidence in our system.

Anyone who has had the temerity to actually publicly demand that our laws be enforced and our borders be secured has been labeled "racist" at one time or another. It is the first line of defense for the illegal alien lobby. We attach a portion of the Constitution of the Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan [MEChA] so that one can see where the racism truly lies. And, what the final intent is of some of the people who are "just looking for a better life". It is important to know that MEChA meets on public tax-payer funded college, high-school and middle-school campus' in many parts of the nation. This nation. It will be coming to Georgia soon.

HOW WILL WE KNOW WHEN WE HAVE ENOUGH ILLEGAL ALIENS IN OUR COUNTRY AND HOW WILL WE STOP THEM THEN?

911ctS 06-29-2004 09:18 AM

but F it. You guys can live in your little gated communites and feel un-harmed as your lawns get cut and cars get washed. Just figure they will have no effect on your generation anyway so... who cares!! just make the money while you can ehh.

Steve - I know that you guys have a very difficult problem to deal with. I'm only objecting to you implying that all "foreigners" are illegal aliens. Some people enter the country and work legally. You can't tell this by looking at a person, or even by talking to them.

pbs911 06-29-2004 03:29 PM

All this talk about enforcing the speed laws, being racist, paying taxes, you can't tell by looking, yada, yada, completely ignors the issue of the problem the US has with illegal immigration. It is a violation of federal law to be an undocumented alien in the US. Plain and simple.

Growing up I worked many of the jobs that the illegals work today. Because the illegals work these jobs currently, the average american teenager will not. If you think the money earned on American soil is staying here, forget it. Most of the money earned by illegals in America iss sent back across the border to the native country.

The illegal immigration is a major problem and should concern everyone. If you are a law abiding citizen you should be concerned because of the denigration illegals place on society. If you are a legal immigrant you should be concerned becuase it belittles the process you went through to become a documented resident. Illegals give the legal immigrants a bad name.

The illegal problems I have personally seen include turning parts of Los Angeles and Orange County into little TJ, freeways clogged with more traffic, unaccountable drivers, free medical and education to non-taxpayers, higher costs for the penal system, and an increase in crime. Our lawns don't look any better.

One thing I would like to see change is the "citizenship upon birth" law. Now, any child born in the US is an American citizen. I would love to see a law that requires at least one parent to be an American citizen for the child to be an American citizen. Currently, countless numbers of females illegals come to America to give birth so their child is a citizen. Its much harder to deport the parent when the child is a citizen.

Beside having a child in America entitles the child to welfare benefits. At about 500 a month, low income housing, medicare and food stamps they make out better than having a full time job in the south of the border countries. Need a raise, have another kid. The benefit period of 5 years runs, have another kid. If you don't think this is real life, your kidding yourself. I have personally heard welfare workers instruct welfare recipients of how to "make more money" using this scheme. It happens and you and I pay for it in taxes and quality of life.

Illegals also provide a an employer with the means to commit Labor Code violations. It is not uncommon for emploers to make illegals work overtime or for lower than minimum wages with the threat of deportation if they do not.

Sure there are those who immigrate legally. Those individuals seem to come to the US to partake in its opportunities. The others just pollute a country the real Americans have to live in.

I have no problem with rounding them up and dropping them off at the southern most tip of Chile. At least then it would be a little while before they could make it back.

CamB 06-29-2004 07:18 PM

The problem is easy to fix (even for someone with my left-of-centre sensibilities).

If an employer employs someone not legally entitled to work in the US, they should be fined. I eventually found reference to the law that says you can't do it, but not to the penalties. It should be HARSH.

Secondly (and this is the problem), I understand that employers are not permitted to ask directly if someone is legally in the country. This seemed so preposterous I had to check, and found this:

http://www.nolo.com/lawcenter/ency/article.cfm/ObjectID/2D4F685E-B26B-43DD-BE72DBD859FA53CE/catID/A353C662-F63B-4FB9-8CCC3B667D1711AE

I'm all for racial, age and gender equality, but as far as I am concerned it is not "discrimination" to ask if someone has citizenship and if you will be breaking the law if you hire them.

350HP930 06-29-2004 07:18 PM

I'm no zenophobe but I agree with pbs911 100%.

Lets enforce our immigration and labor laws and hang big 'NO VACANCY' signs at the border.

CamB 06-29-2004 07:32 PM

I just spent 10 more minutes looking around for details and you guys have the laws, they just don't appear to be being enforced.
