G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 We've probably spent a minimum 5-6k on this. With a lawyer, that's doubled easily. And hats also not taking into account the lost wages from a year plus of missed work. That's a lot of money when you're a full time student and your job is delivering pizzas. My stepmother is Peruvian. A good friend of her's passed away, leaving behind a 6 month old son. So my father and stepmother adopted him. The adoption and VISA to get him here took four years and tens of thousands of dollars. My stepmother had to stay over there the entire time. imo, the entire process is designed to force you to hire an attorney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I wouldn't have a problem with it, but I'm sure many would dislike the idea of I-9 being required for this kind of service in parts of the country where illegal immigration is not an important issue.And I think you would have to do a better job of defining what is regular and significant. Does a bi-weekly lawn service count? After how many weeks? I wouldn't have an issue with it either, but I agree with the above post 100%. You'd really have to draw some lines. Someone can come out and provide 4-5 lawn services per year (fertilizing and liming, for example) and consider that "regular" employment. Someone can come clean my house for $100 once per month and consider that "regular" employment. I think the details would be important here.

DRSmith Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 My two old ass neighbors don't have the resources to verify every lawn care technician... (and they can't push a mower without enacting Obamacare).A little common sense thrown in there while we figure out who gets citizenship and who doesn't. Whn 1 was 12 I made money mowing lawns now they are taking jobs away from neighbourhood kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiebear Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Were they up because of policies enacted under W or not?.....run the numbers Oh wait didn't this yrs numbers actually go down? Incorrect: In fiscal year 2009, ICE deported 389,834 people, of whom about 35 percent, or 136,000, were criminals. Fiscal years are weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsburySkinsFan Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Untrue. All of them were criminals. In the same way that everyone who speeds is a criminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they get revised because they tried to count voluntary deportations as deportations(which was a new definition and has no restriction on reentry)? My main point was the trend line and policy The number of those ignoring deportation orders is also going up....I await recent numbers add A DHS spokesman said the report erred by lumping together in the 2009 figure the number of illegal immigrants deported with those permitted to leave on their own power rather than being physically removed by ICE, an option called "voluntary departure." Including both categories, ICE removed 387,790 in illegal immigrants in the year ending Sept. 30, 2009, compared with 369,221 in 2008 -- a 5 percent increase. Counting only those deported by ICE, the total grew 13 percent, from 264,541 in 2008 to 298,401 in 2009. In a statement, the department said, "We are working with the Chief Financial Officer to clarify this information." The error came to light Monday when grass-roots immigrant rights groups assailed President Obama's immigration policies, calling his record on deportations harsher than that of his predecessor, George W. Bush. Separately, ICE reported that as of Feb. 1, four months into fiscal 2010, total removals are running at a rate 20 percent below last year, or 17 percent lower counting only deportations. A DHS spokesman said figures "inherently fluctuate month to month." http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2010/03/dhs-corrects-report-that-overs.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
