What is wrong with the US immigration system/law?

[SwimExpert]

It is a deterrent for people coming here.

You seem to think that we have a goal that people will come here. Quite the opposite. We allow people to come here.

Seal the borders then immigration reform. Make it easier for the well educated to come here.

The worker who come her from Mexico are very good workers and very good at their trades.

Let me show you how good they are at their "trades." This is a repair job that an illegal immigrant "mechanic" in town did for someone having problems with their water pump.

Basically they are the new slave class in the US.

That is ridiculous.

Slaves were captured and brought to the US against their will, forced into servitude.

Illegals chose to come here and won't get the fuck out, no matter how hard we try to get rid of them.

Basically, they're the new rodent class.

NOTHING. What is wrong are those in government that are negligent in doing their job of enforcing our immigration laws. We have a generous immigration system that allows millions to enter legally and millions to gain citizenship each year. What is broken is our leaders in government and the compassionate and the right thing to do is to enforce the immigration laws and solve all our immigration problems. Amnesty has proven not to work and should not even be considered ever again.

One easy fix is to close the anchor baby loophole. The Parents get a free ride on the Welfare system once their precious citizen is born.

The people you call "anchor babies" are US citizens. No loophole. You want to change it, start working on a Constitutional Amendment.

There is no such thing as an 'anchor baby.' The baby cannot be deported because he is a US citizen, but the parents can be deported because they are here illegally. They can leave the child with relatives, in custody of the state, or take with. But a child born here in no way anchors the parents who are here illegally.

I dunno, but the business community sure doesn't like them:

Chamber of Commerce plans big push on immigration | Detroit Free Press | freep.com

Based on this article alone, I would not know if the COC is pro or anti Immigration Reform.

Very well:

Hi Alan:

What is wrong with the US immigration system/law?

There is nothing wrong with the US immigration system. The USA allows more legal immigration into the United States than all over countries on earth combined. The real problem is that our corrupt Congress refuses to provide Congressional Oversight to ensure that the provisions of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 are ENFORCED.

Enforcement of our perfectly-good immigration and employment laws begin AT THE WORKPLACE. The notion of securing the borders is ridiculous once you realize that almost half of all illegal alien foreign nationals living and working in the USA today came here legally through twenty five guest worker programs to overstay their visas like many foreign students like Barry Soetoro a.k.a Barrack Obama who immigrated from Indonesia.

[ame=http://youtu.be/JdP6Wdyw4T0]Illegal Immigration Reform Propaganda - YouTube[/ame]

The global elite own the corporate conglomerates reaping benefits from the illegal alien labor pool pushing down wages for American workers in a workplace driven by competition. Masons that made about 25 dollars per hour just 10 years ago are being forced to accept 14 to 16 dollars per hour today, because of too many people competing for fewer jobs overrun by illegal alien foreign nationals. These corporate elites donate to the Open Border Lobby that bribes our corrupt politicians to guarantee that nobody enforces our immigration and employment laws, which is the agenda of the bought-and-paid-for Obama Administration.

The fact that the Republican leadership can appear on the television to push Immigration Reform with a straight face is a testament to the absolute stupidity of Americans willing to go through this entire process again and hand out illegal amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, when everyone knows that any new immigration/employment laws will never be enforced. America today suffers from Worker Displacement from too many NAFTA-like treaties that destroy the manufacturing base, job outsourcing that ships jobs overseas, far too many guest worker programs that bring in 1.5 million foreign nationals every year amid high unemployment and millions of illegal aliens running around within our borders doing as they please.

We have hundreds and even thousands of illegal aliens using the same social security numbers, but nobody is enforcing our laws and nobody is ever going to enforce our laws; as America has already made the transition to a third-world banana republic of lawlessness. Who among the Republicans or Democrats is pushing for enforcement of our current immigration and employment laws at the workplace? NOBODY. There is no left/right paradigm in Washington DC. The entire system is corrupt to the core, which is the reason that nobody was willing to hear the case of Sheriff Joe Arpaio who knows for a fact that Barry Obama was born in Kenya and immigrated to Indonesia, before coming here as a foreign student:

The American Sheeple deserve to have an illegal alien in the White House and deserve to be inundated by floods of illegal alien foreign nationals that kill 25 US Citizens EVERY DAY, because the people are not holding their corrupt congressmen accountable for refusing to see our perfectly-good immigration and employment laws ENFORCED AT THE WORKPLACE. The current Obama Administration push for "Immigration Reform" being chanted as the new congressional mantra will see the corrupt congress including the same provisions of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 included all over again, even though everybody involved already knows for certain that these same laws will never be enforced.

Makin' it easier for former terrorist supporters to immigrate to America...

US EASING IMMIGRATION RULE FOR TERRORIST SUPPORT
Feb 9,`14 WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration has eased the rules for would-be asylum-seekers, refugees and others who hope to come to the United States or stay here and who gave "limited" support to terrorists or terrorist groups.

The change is one of President Barack Obama's first actions on immigration since he pledged during his State of the Union address last month to use more executive directives. The Department of Homeland Security and the State Department now say that people considered to have provided "limited material support" to terrorists or terrorist groups are no longer automatically barred from the United States.

A post-Sept. 11 provision in immigrant law, known as terrorism related inadmissibility grounds, had affected anyone considered to have given support. With little exception, the provision has been applied rigidly to those trying to enter the U.S. and those already here but wanting to change their immigration status. For Morteza Assadi, a 49-year-old real estate agent in northern Virginia, the law has left him in a sort of immigration purgatory while his green card application has been on hold for more than a decade.

As a teenager in Tehran, Iran, in the early 1980s, Assadi distributed fliers for a mujahedeen group that opposed the government of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and was at one time considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. government. Assadi said he told the U.S. government about his activities when he and his wife applied for asylum in the late 1990s. Those requests were later granted and his wife has since become a U.S. citizen. But Assadi's case has remained stalled. "When we are teenagers, we have different mindsets," Assadi said. "I thought, I'm doing my country a favor."

Assadi said he only briefly associated with the group, which was removed from Washington's list of terrorist organizations in 2012, and that he was never an active member or contributor to its activities. Now he's hopeful that the U.S. government will look at his teenage activities as "limited." His lawyer, Parastoo Zahedi, said she has filed case in federal court to force U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to process Assadi's green card application, but now hopes the government will act on its own. "In the past, the minute your name was associated with a (terrorist) organization you were being punished," Zahedi said. "Not every act is a terrorist act and you can't just lump everyone together."

DHS Secretary on Illegal Aliens: ‘They’re Here, and They’re Not Going Away’
February 7, 2014 – Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, the nation’s top immigration law enforcer, said on Friday that the estimated 11.5 million illegal aliens in the United States are “not going away.” “They’re here, and they’re not going away,” Johnson said at the Woodrow Wilson Center in remarks billed by the Obama administration as his “first major speech.”

Johnson’s comment came after he gave his prepared address and was in response to Jane Harman, president and CEO of the Woodrow Wilson Center, asking him about the fate of immigration reform in this session of Congress. “In today’s press there is a new comment from House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) that it may not happen this year I think,” Harman said, “which is going to be a great disappointment to many communities across our country who were hoping it will and to our efforts to rebuild our economy after the most serious recession since the Great Depression.

“What can you do to persuade John Boehner that maybe he should – of steps he might take in this election year to get this thing back on the right track?” Harman asked. “Because he was one of the people who said he wanted to try to make this happen.” “What I hope will happen in 2014 is that there is an emerging, evolving realization that this should not be politics, that this is a problem that we have in this country that needs to be fixed,” Johnson said. “And that those of us here in Washington who represent the American public ought to do what we need to do to fix the problem.”

Johnson said part of that problem is enforcing immigration law. “Everybody agrees we have a problem with immigration, with enforcement and administration of our immigration laws,” Johnson said. “Everybody knows we have millions of undocumented immigrants in this country, and they're not going away. “They're not going to self-deport,” Johnson said, adding that some 86 percent of illegal aliens “have been in the country for years.”

“So they're here, and they're not going away,” Johnson said. “From my Homeland Security perspective, I would rather encourage them to come forward, be accountable, pay whatever taxes and fines they owe.” Johnson previously worked for the Obama administration as a lawyer in the Department of Defense before being nominated and confirmed as DHS secretary.

There's nothing wrong with it. Everything is handled right for legal immigrants, we just need to enforce laws better on illegal immigration and increase border security. Illegal immigrants shouldn't be granted citizenship and should be deported if arrested for a crime (non-violent as well).
