Regardless, I don't like the way you package your hateful ideas. But that's just me.

Thank you for the apology but maybe next time you will try to know what you are talking about before acting like you do. And honestly, I don't give a crap if you like how I "package my ideas". Deal with it.

And I have chosen to tell you to suck it.

Fair enough brutha.

Honestly, most days I like Mexicans better than I do Americans, anyway. Mexicans don't seem to bring a sense of entitlement with them. Just imagine how a democracy such as ours, with all the advantages it has, would flourish comprising such a populace.

I lived in south central Mexico for two years (Jalisco and Michoacan). I loved the people there. They were awesome, proud and thankful for what they had.

hey Drbio, my mom was born in Michoacan =)

she came over (legally) in 1976 as a foreign exchange student, living with an American family here in Dallas, and ended up staying

then she met my dad, who came over legally from Costa Rica, and they fell in love, got married, had sex, and then I was born

lol.

the key is the item 1 on the list sixeight. if the immigrant didn't enter with a green card, they cannot go forward in the process. they have to leave, go back home, and apply. they may never make it back into the us, unless they come back over illegally, back to where they are today.

thanks kiki, a strong illustration of what the current laws mean to decent, hard working people.

1. Are at least 18 years old and a lawful permanent resident ("green card" holder);
2. Have resided continuously in the United States, having been lawfully admitted for permanent residence, for five years immediately preceding the date you filed your application for naturalization, or
3. Have, after having been removed from conditional permanent resident status, based upon your marriage to a U.S. citizen, having resided in the United States for one year after the date the condition was removed;
4. Have resided continuously in the United States at all times after your application to the time and date of your admission for citizenship;
5. Have, during all periods of time referred to above, been and still are a person of good moral character;
6. Have no outstanding deportation or removal order and no pending deportation or removal proceeding;
7. Have the ability to read, write, speak, and understand simple words and phrases in English;
8. Have knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of U.S. history and government;
9. Are attached to, and can support, the principles of the U.S. Constitution and can swear allegiance to the United States.


how to get a green card to be an immigrant with employment status
How Do I Become an Immigrant Based on Employment?
An immigrant is a foreign national who is authorized to live and work permanently in the United States. You must go through a multi-step process to become an immigrant based on employment.

The USCIS must approve an immigrant petition (application) that was filed for you, usually by an employer.


In most employment categories (See EB-2 and EB-3 eligibility and filing information below), a U.S. employer must complete a labor certification request (ETA 750) for you from the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration.


The State Department must give you an immigrant visa number, even if you are already in the United States. Please see How Do I Get an Immigrant Visa Number?.


If you are already in the United States, you must apply to adjust to permanent resident status when a visa number becomes available. Please see How Do I Become a Lawful Permanent Resident while in the United States? If you are outside the United States when an immigrant visa number becomes available, you will be notified to go to the local U.S. consulate to complete the processing for an immigrant visa.


Not very hard. But the only excuses I have heard are it takes toooooo long. Wahh. Deal with it. And I guess the biggest problem is they have to learn english.

That's pretty cool Wraith. I lived in two cities on and off there. In Michoacan I lived in a little fishing town near Lake Chapala called La Palma. I also lived on the other side of the lake in Jalisco in Ajijic and Chapala. I loved that area.

New question.

Did the leaders of this planned walkout consider it a success? Since none really felt the difference apparently is this one of those slow news day things that really didn't do a lot or did this accomplish something I missed?

I asked the manager of my favorite Starbucks (who participated) and she said it was just a day off. She didn't even protest anywhere. Was that the norm?
