A found a few interesting things in my research. <br /><br />1. Mexico does not allow non-citizens to own property or land. If a non-citizen buys property, it can be confiscated. Nice!<br /><br />2. Mexico does not allow non-citizens to protest or speak out politically. If a person who is not a citizen, protests any law, they are promptly kicked out of the country, and deported to their homeland<br /><br />3. In order to become a citizen, there are a few things (among many) that one has to do: they have to become a Mexican National, which requires one to learn Spanish, live in Mexico as a legal resident for five years, then go through another waiting period of two years or more. Then, after all that (and more), they have to renounce their previous nationality<br /><br />4. Being born in Mexico (by U.S. citizens), will grant Mexican nationality, but not citizenship. One can possess dual nationality, but not dual citizenship. Furthermore, once a national decides to become a Mexican citizen (which is a person who can vote and hold public office), they must meet the age requirement (age 18), and renounce U.S. citizenship.<br /><br />I'm sure, with a little more digging, there are more interesting Mexican laws like those outlined above. You will find U.S. immigrants in Mexico have no rights.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-211223426088664822010-04-28T02:26:31.451-04:002010-04-28T02:26:31.451-04:00Illegal immigration is a problem here in Arizona, ...Illegal immigration is a problem here in Arizona, but this isn't the way to fight it. It's amazing that with all of our resources we couldn't pass a bill to combat illegal immigration that doesn't trample the rights of citizens and legal immigrants. <br /><br />Russel Pierce, the sponsor of the bill, is a racist who forwarded an article from the neo-Nazi group called the National Alliance: http://phoenix.bizjournals.com/phoenix/stories/2006/10/09/daily22.html?surround=lfn<br /><br />He's also been photographed with a guy named J.T. Ready, one of the top neo-Nazis in Arizona: http://crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/profiling-arizona-legislator-russell<br /><br />Once is a mistake, twice is an association. This bill was fueled by hate, plain and simple.<br /><br />So, how will this bill "do the trick"? It will take resources away from the state - time and money to fight the impending lawsuits. Loss in revenue as people and organizations continue to boycott Arizona. It's only a good idea if you're dramatic and reactionary, but when reality sets in we've kicked our own ass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-24916703860418511562010-04-26T22:38:01.452-04:002010-04-26T22:38:01.452-04:00Children are Watching

When I...Children are Watching<br /><br />by stopdainsanity2 <br /><br />When I entered kindergarten – I was put into a class for the mentally retarded. Because my skin was brown my teacher assumed I did not speak English and required special bilingual support which was not available at the time. Yes – I was a Mexican-American citizen child AND I spoke English.<br /><br />It literally took 2 weeks for my parents to force the school to place me in the mainstream kindergarten class — even though I could respond to questions in English. At the time if was easier for frustrated- overworked teachers (not bad people) to send me to the special needs class – no questions asked – based on my skin color. Although the error was corrected, as a child I never lost the feeling I was not welcomed and somehow my rights as a citizen were not equal to those of white americans. Be careful – children are watching.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-24425839679424101452010-04-25T20:31:32.947-04:002010-04-25T20:31:32.947-04:00I will have to read the bill, but to be honest I a...I will have to read the bill, but to be honest I am a little uncomfortable with "showing your papers". It sounds too Soviet Union for my taste. <br /><br />The feds need to guard the borders.

He has worked hard to achieve the rights and privileges of a citizen. He must be fuming to think an illegal immigrant is just granted privileges. <br />Furthermore, illegal immigration = slave trade. These workers are poorly paid and treated and cannot appeal to anyone for help. I am not saying they should be granted ALL the rights and privileges of a citizen as it wouldn't be fair to everyone else. The people the authorities should go after are the ones who hire these illegal immigrants on slave wages.<br />This law finally addresses some of the problems that have been going on.<br />Just my thoughts.Osumashi Kinyobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902370156968100563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-8586455187409877402010-04-24T12:24:04.204-04:002010-04-24T12:24:04.204-04:00When I traveled outside the US, the first time in ...When I traveled outside the US, the first time in 1984 and the second time in 1990, I was told to have my passport in my possession. <br /><br />If it is required in other countries, why not in the US?<br /><br />At the times of my travels, Canada didn't count as we could travel through Canada without a passport.Meadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00704251709378090141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-39448360844156242912010-04-24T01:29:18.338-04:002010-04-24T01:29:18.338-04:00Obama said this is irresponsible! hello what about...Obama said this is irresponsible! hello what about his Obamacare??! geesh!moon816https://www.blogger.com/profile/11584048298527787748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-59798433040142957162010-04-24T01:15:15.271-04:002010-04-24T01:15:15.271-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.moon816https://www.blogger.com/profile/11584048298527787748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-66639263047545914442010-04-24T00:35:42.637-04:002010-04-24T00:35:42.637-04:00Well, there are more than a few states fighting Co...Well, there are more than a few states fighting Congress and the administration........feeling the pinch of their own constituents would be my guess.Janellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05756137413824366993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-40295714481940851772010-04-24T00:14:24.204-04:002010-04-24T00:14:24.204-04:00Violence at the AZ border with Mexico has become a...Violence at the AZ border with Mexico has become a very serious and frightening problem.
