How has "race" become part of the component of a persons "immigration status"? Say, a guy is born in Mexico, amd his name is say, oh I don't
know, let's say Macintosh. His name is Macintosh, because his father's name is Macintosh, and his Grandfathers name was Macintosh, and his Mothers
name is Schumacher, because his Grandmothers name was also Schumacher, and all were born in Mexico. Let's say Mr Macintosh decides to emigrate to the
USA, and goes through all the paperwork drills, gets his application accepted, jumps through the remaining hoops, and gets his USA citizenship, but
wait a minute, on certain forms he supplied information that he knew was false, and a little while later, the ICE folks trip over it and he gets
deported, for lying on the emigration paperwork, and he is stripped of his USA citizenship. He's a caucasion, as were his Mexican antecedants, and
they were all citizens of Mexico, but because he lied on his application paperwork, he gets his citizenship revoked. Does the revocation have anything
to do with his race. No. Switch the names around to this ficticious persons, say call them Hernadez and Ming-Hao for the maternal and paternal
antecedents, and say the emigrated from Canada, with the same result happening to the emigrae, getting Her citizenship revoked, because she lied on
Her emigration paperwork. The point is this. Emigration status is based on the country of origin that you emigrate from, not what "race" you are. If
you are in the USA, and you crossed a border with false or without any documentation, that doesn't make you an "illegal" immigrant or alien, that
makes you an "undocumented foreign national", which means you belong to the country of origin, where your "citizenship" was first established. I
freely agree that people come to the USA from other countries, like Mexico, or Chile, or Canada, or Belize, or whatever, and they are seeking a better
life. I also completely believe that some other people who enter the USA are here to intentionally harm the USA and it's citizens, and that at least
some of the people are doing it at the behest of they're countries of origins government. But in the end, emigration status is not determined by
"race', never has been, never will be, because it just wouldn't stand up in court. Now Mexico, like Canada are both in a bad spot, so to speak,
since they have relatively vast borders with the USA, and those are hard to control, although if the people in our government weren't idiots, it can
be done very, very effectively. So, when you hear someone use the word "race" or "racist" when discussing the problems with emigration to the USA,
you are in fact listening to someone who hasn't got the first clue what emigration is and how it works. Race has nothing to do with it. Nationality
has EVERYTHING to do with it! And I live in a neighborhood that has many Mexican, and African, and Chinese, and Argentinian and many other
"NATIONALITIES" to be sure that are here in the USA and would be considered "undocumented foreign nationals" should the get involved in some way
with law enforcement, and would be prime candidates for "deportation". I would hate to see that happen. Because, I like people from other countries.
I learn from them. I hope they learn from me. We need to solve the problem of the undocumented foreign national. I don't believe "amnesty" is a
smart move. I believe that the undocumented foreign national (UFN) should be dealt with that in a humanitarian way, and also in a way that would lead
to "legal" citizenship status, without the mechanism being "punative" in nature. And it should take no more than 4 years, for the process to
complete, possibly something like a probational program, although I wouldn't want to use that word, possibly something more along the lines of an
"internship" or possibly a "canidate". The way to make the plan work is to get it going, get the UFN's identified, registered and made aware that
they would have to complete ALL the requirements current legal emigrants are required to do, and then possibly levy a very nominal tax for them to
pay, say over a ten year period, not to be more than 1/75th of they're yearly taxable income, AFTER they have paid they're normal tax requirements.
Persons who are guilty of lying on emigration applications, who are in the process of obtaining citizenship, or have achieved citizenship get NO
SECOND CHANCE. Citizenship should be revoked, and those persons should be deported. If they have children, the children should be deported also, but
should be able to apply for citizenship upon reaching they're 18th Birthday.
Children born in the USA to UFN's should not be granted citizenship simply because they were born in the USA, but, should also be eligible for
application for citizenship at they're 18th birthday. Also, I believe that UFN's that are in the USA, and do come forward to register, and are of
the appropriate age and physically qualified should be able to gain citizenship by serving a term of no less than 4 years in the armed forces, in a
branch of they're own choice, after they have passed the required testing regular US citizens do. The children of these armed forces candidates,
would gain citizenship along with the parent or parents that had completed the military service commitment, and for the purposes of being in the
unique position of being considered "military dependents" would in fact for all practical purposes, be considered "citizens", allowing these
children to travel overseas should the candidate military member be assigned to a country with a current status of forces agreement with the United
States, I think kids would enjoy that no matter what, and should get the chance if that's the way they're parents military career went. Persons
serving in the military to obtain citizenship however would NOT be allowed to serve in combat billets or be deployed in combat theaters, no
exceptions. Additionally, the concept of earning citizenship via "service" could also be extended to other civil servant agencies, State Dept, FEMA,
Forest Service,
United Nations components, etc....For those persons who are to old, or have disabilities, or had other problems, such as being the primary care giver
for a disabled or mentally challenged family member, the States would be obligated to find a position for these individuals in state or local
governments where they could contribute time or effort towards earning citizenship. Individuals currently incarcerated for Non-violent crimes, upon
completion of they're sentence should be eligiable for a citizenship through service program as defined above. Finally, there must absolutely be a
concrete effort to secure and stabilize the borders and ports of entries into the USA and it's territories. I would start by only allowing entry into
the USA at only 36 locations for Air Traffic, and only 39 locations for sea ports, and 48 locations for land crossings. 12 each on each coast for Sea
( In Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico, for air entry travelers using air service would have to enter in the continental US, and then fly non-stop to
AK/HI/PR) and 44 each at land crossings (20 along the US/Mexico border, 20 along the US/Canada border, and 4 in Alaska. There would be a new branch of
the armed forces created as "Border Guards", which would actively and aggressively patrol assigned border regions. All student and work visas would
be be required to be renewed on a monthly basis. No exceptions. Tourist visas would not be allowed for more than 30 days, and would not be renewable.
Any UFN or Illegal emigrant who was convicted for the death or disability of a US citizen, or registered intern/candidate, or commited a felony
offense or act of espionage or terrorism, would be imprisoned for no less than 40 years, and upon completing they're sentence would be deported to
they're country of origin, if they survived they're prison sentence. But in the end, once again, "race" has NOTHING TO DO with immigration status.
NOTHING. It's that simple. People who aren't born here should be allowed to emigrate there. People who are here now as UFN's as should be given a
chance to come out into the open, and pursue ditizenship without the fear that they don't have a chance. Illegal immigrants, those that lied,
shouldn't get a second chance, but they're children should. that's my plan, I think it's fair, and I think it could be done, and I think people
who are worried about getting deported because they are in a UFN status should come forward under this plan, and be complemented by doing so by
getting a fair chance at getting the citizenship they want. Of course, they're those IDIOT politicians again who don't understand that "race"
hasn't got anything to do with emigration! Maybe we should deport those guys too, as "enemies of that states" ! ! !
