The beat goes on and on. We had been scapegoated as a Criminals, offenders, Rapists, Invaders, and know suspects of Marriage Fraud






The beat goes on and on. We had been scapegoated as a Criminals, offenders, Rapists, Invaders, and know suspects of Marriage Fraud.



When Citizens and Goverments can be more rational and Humans against the Undocumented Immigrants. I will exposed another case of Intolerance and Irrationality from our Immigration Laws.

Mr. Lin, a Fujianese man who was smuggled into the United States Undocumented, applied for and failed to obtain political asylum [and an order for his deportation was issued]. In 2006, he married Ms. Lu, an American citizen, and applied to change his immigration status. This past April, at Mr. Lin’s green card interview, the immigration judge suspected that their marriage was not real, although his wife was already eight-months pregnant. Mr. Lin was detained immediately and sent to the FBI.

Many lawyers not only criticized the immigration judge for violation of the couple’s human rights, but also warned that those who have outstanding deportation orders against them and who wanted to change status through marriage must be careful when applying for legal status.

On April 6th, Mr. Lin was deported by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). When his wife received his phone call from the airport, she was in tears. Ms. Lu, who is due to give birth this week, said that ever since her husband was taken away in April, she has spoken to 10 different lawyers and has spent close to $10,000 hoping that her husband would be allowed to return to the United States. However, because the first lawyer they hired to assist through the green card interview handed Mr. Lin’s passport to the immigration judge during the interview, Mr. Lin had no documentation when he was deported.

Currently, Ms. Lu lives alone in a basement in Brooklyn. She worries since her family works in another state that no one can take care of her and her new born baby.

Nicolas Mundy, Ms. Lu’s current attorney, who does not agree with the immigration judge’s action, asked, “Why couldn’t the immigration agency wait 30 more days until the child is born, when they could conduct a DNA test and determine whether the marriage is real?”

According to Ms. Lu, right before she and her husband went to the green card interview, their first lawyer told them that Mr. Lin’s deportation appeal was pending. However, Mundy said that their appeal was denied in 2005, which meant that Mr. Lin’s deportation order became effective immediately after the interview. Moreover, when applicants for political asylum try to change their status through marriage, they should submit an affidavit to verify their marriage. Their first lawyer failed to do so.

John Chang, an experienced lawyer, explained that the USCIS has new policies that allow arriving aliens to obtain legal status by several means such as through marriage. Another lawyer said that according to experiences, for those who failed to obtain political asylum, trying to change statue through marriage could be risky.

Mundy said that Ms. Lu’s situation is very difficult, but not impossible. Ms. Lu can request a second time for her husband to be allowed to return after their child is born, if DNA evidence can establish his paternity. Mr. Lin would also need to go to the United States Embassy in China to apply for his return to the United States. Present USCIS regulations stipulate that once an alien is deported, he or she must wait 10 years before being allowed to return to the United States. Mr. Lin’s lawyer is hoping that by establishing that he is the father of a U.S. citizen who has faced inhumane treatment, it will make him a candidate for amnesty and the family can be reunited

IMMIGRATION SYSTEM IS INHUMANE AND DYSFUNCTIONAL.!!!!!!!!


IMMIGRATION SYSTEM IS INHUMANE AND DYSFUNCTIONAL.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



A PREGNANT CHINESE woman facing deportation lost her twin fetuses after immigration officials ignored her pleas for a doctor at Kennedy Airport, an elected city official and her lawyer charged. Zhen Xing Jiang, 34, of Philadelphia, who has been in the United States Undocumented for a decade, was being deported Tuesday when she complained of stomach and back pain, according to City Councilman John Liu (D-Queens). Customs officers denied her request for help, said Liu, who visited Jiang at Jamaica Hospital the next day. "This is cruel and it is atrocious what these officers did," Liu said. "What kind of law enforcement can just stand there as a pregnant woman is crying and in pain?" Jiang, who was discharged, could not be reached for comment. Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials declined to discuss the circumstances involving Jiang's miscarriage, but released a statement saying her deportation was delayed for "medical reasons that were addressed immediately." "Once she is cleared medically, efforts to effectuate her repatriation will resume," the statement said. "She's traumatized by the experience," said her attorney, Michael Sommi

Stop Harvesting Stop Disabling & Murdering Lives; Stop Selling & Harvesting Organs




The Communist Chinese [CCP] have been harvesting organs and tissues of lives, youth to elderly, of the Falun Gong and other prisoners in their slave labor camps. It is outrageous enough to know of these human rights violations, but the CCP is selling the organs, tissues of these innocent prisoners. All monies are sent back to the CCP. In effect, the CCP have been and continue 'to bank on the lives of their victims'. This is a billion dollar business! Now you know why they don't want it stopped.

What this means for all locally globally, is that if it is Medicare, Medical, or other insurance companies, it means YOU, the tax payer would be partici-pating in any/all of these crimes against humanity. Do you want your person or loved ones now, or later in history to be known as one who was complicit in the murder of countless innocent lives?

This must be stop; be Pro active against Human Rights Violations.

The Anti Immigrant Sentiment backlash. The ethnicity change but the target remained the same.




"Many persons who have spoken and written in favor of restriction of immigration, have laid great stress upon the evils to society arising from immigration. They have claimed that disease, pauperism, crime and vice have been greatly increased through the incoming of the immigrants. Perhaps no other phase of the question has aroused so keen feeling, and yet perhaps on no other phase of the question has there been so little accurate information."

These words, written in 1912 by Jeremiah Jenks and W. Jett Lauck, who had been part of the United States Immigration Commission, sound surprisingly contemporary. In 1995, there is a popular argument that immigrants are responsible for many, if not all, of the problems facing our country. This theme has been struck before in US history.

It has arisen now in part because right-wing organizations have promoted immigrants as a group targeted for blame. For example, an organization prominent in this right-wing campaign, the American Immigration Control Foundation (AICF), in a 1992 mailing, lists immigrants as the culprits behind high taxes, wasted welfare dollars, lost jobs, high costs for education, and rising crime. AICF claims that immigrants are driving up health care costs by grabbing free care while also bringing disease into the US. Interestingly, subsequent versions of the same letter, sent out the following year, reduce their claim of 13 million illegal immigrants to 6-8 million, a number still higher than that cited by Time magazine as no more than 5 million. As Jenks and Lauck conclude in the above quote, the debate is still characterized more by angry talk than by facts.

An important ingredient in the success of the right's anti-immigrant campaign is its ability to deflect anger about the negative effects of the current US "economic restructuring" onto the scapegoat of immigrants. This tactic nests within a larger goal of capturing political gain by exploiting a popular issue. This is nothing new, but rather is a practice rooted in a long-standing history of reaction to immigration, nurtured today by a cluster of right-wing political organizations dedicated to this single issue.

The Anti Immigrant sentiment within our History of US Immigration.

It is impossible to understand the current wave of anti-immigrant sentiment without some historical perspective. Indeed, excepting the Native American population, it is often said that the US is a nation of immigrants. Certainly, the role of cheap immigrant labor has been critical in building the US economy.

Immigration has been both voluntary and forced. In early US history, territorial and economic expansion was a magnet for persons fleeing poverty and political repression. There was also forced immigration in the form of the slave trade and the annexation of one half of Mexico by the Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo, signed in 1848, at the end of the Mexican-American War. This, not traditional immigration, is the reason that a significant number of Chicanos in the Southwest live in the US rather than in Mexico.

By the turn of the 19-century, territorial expansion was no longer a major force fueling immigration. The new magnet was the industrial revolution, which was in full swing and in need of labor. Today, as the US is going through another economic shift to a service and information-based economy with global reach, immigration is once again a factor.

The US has historically had a complex reaction to immigration. On the one hand, immigrants have been crucial to US economic progress at certain junctures in our economic development. On the other, there has been considerable hate and anger directed toward immigrants, based on xenophobia, religious prejudice, and fear that immigrants will take jobs from native-born workers. It is revealing to take a brief look at some of this history of immigration as told by Howard Zinn in A People's History of the United States.

In his description of the colonies in the 1700s, Zinn notes that the colonies grew quickly as English settlers and black slaves were joined by Scottish, Irish, and German immigrants. Immigration was causing the larger cities to double and triple in size, but often urban poverty grew apace. "As Boston grew, from 1687 to 1770, the percentage of adult males who were poor . . . .[and who] owned no property, doubled from 14 percent of adult males to 29 percent. And the loss of property meant loss of voting rights." Indeed this often-romanticized period of US history was a time of far harsher immigration conditions than those of today.

Civil War era immigration occurred in an even more hostile environment. The Contract Labor Law of 1864 allowed companies to sign contracts with foreign workers in return for a pledge of 12 months' wages. This allowed employers during the Civil War not only to recruit very cheap labor, but also strikebreakers. Predictably, this resulted in conflict. "Italians were imported into the bituminous coal area around Pittsburgh in 1874 to replace striking miners. This led to the killing of three Italians, to trials in which the jurors of the community exonerated the strikers, and bitter feelings between Italians and other organized workers." It is interesting to note that there was no definition of United States citizenship in the Constitution until the 14th Amendment was added in 1868. A definition was needed, in part to counteract the Dred Scott decision, which held that slaves were not citizens.

At the turn of the century, the immigrant population had changed from largely Irish and German to Eastern and Southern European and Russian, including many Jews. Zinn again describes the impact well, citing the role of immigration of different ethnic groups as contributing to the fragmentation of the working class. He discusses how the previous wave of Irish immigrants resented Jews coming into their neighborhoods. At this time, there was also the added fear that immigrants would bring with them socialist ideas that would undermine the principles of this country.

While nationality, religion, and political ideology were the main basis for resentment of immigrants in urban areas during the first half of the 19-century, race was the issue when Chinese immigrants arrived, brought in to fill a labor gap and then later to work as construction workers on the railroads in the 1860s. Indeed the first anti-immigrant law, passed in California, targeted the Chinese. In 1882, the US passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which was not repealed until 1943. Even then, immigration quotas for Chinese were only raised above 105 per year by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The late 1800s were difficult for Chinese in the US--the growing trade union movement based part of its organizing strategy on advocating deportation of Chinese immigrants. Race riots on the West coast were the response of angry whites who blamed Chinese for their woes.

In 1917 and again in 1942, the US initiated guest labor programs, commonly known as the Bracero programs, that brought Mexican workers into the Southwest to work as non-citizen farm workers and fill an alleged labor shortage. Up to half a million workers were enrolled in the program at its height. The flow of undocumented Mexicans grew during this time, prompting a government effort to stem the tide by "drying out the wetbacks"--an effort to convert undocumented immigrants into Braceros. When that failed, "Operation Wetback" was launched with the deployment of a military style border patrol. The Bracero programs effectively exposed thousands of poor Mexicans to the wealth of the United States and contributed to immigration pressure. It also displaced Chicanos from rural agricultural jobs, fueling their exodus to urban centers.

The role of racism in anti-immigrant sentiment seemed to have dimmed by the late 1970s, at least according to Lawrence Fuchs, who served for two years as director of the Select Commission on Immigration and Refugee Policy. Commenting on hearings held by his committee in 12 major cities from 1979 through 1980, Fuchs stated that "racism [against immigrants] was not nearly as powerful a force as it once was." Fuchs attributed this decline in anti-immigrant racism to the civil rights movement and an expansion of the spirit of pluralism that it forced. This optimistic reading of US tolerance for ethnic, racial, and religious diversity parallels the optimism of that period.

Intolerance, however, was just below the surface of American politics. The appearance of a hospitable melting pot that had an accepting attitude toward immigrants proved illusory. It took only the arrival of immigrants who were politically unwelcome, such as those fleeing the repression in El Salvador, for government policies of exclusion to become explicit again.

As in the case of El Salvador, immigration has sometimes followed a pattern of growth from parts of the world in which the US is heavily involved militarily or economically. In recent years, immigration has increased from South East Asia and the Central America/Caribbean region. This sometimes results from granting entry for persons fleeing official enemies of the US, such as Cuba or Vietnam, but also draws people from countries allied with the US, such as the Philippines, Hong Kong, or El Salvador. It is likely that as global trade relationships grow through treaties such as NAFTA, the coming period will prompt greater immigration.

CNN sued for $ 1.3 Billion. We hope CNN will take this seriously, because what CNN said and did has not only hurt China's feelings, but also CNN's own image."

The new book of Jack Cafferty. " It's getting ugly out there at CNN"



A Chinese primary school teacher and a beautician have filed a suit against CNN in New York over remarks they say insulted the Chinese people and are seeking $1.3 billion in compensation -- $1 per person in China, a Hong Kong newspaper reported.

The case against the Atlanta-based cable channel, its parent company Turner Broadcasting and Jack Cafferty, the offending commentator, comes after 14 lawyers launched a similar suit in Beijing alleging that Cafferty's remarks earlier this month violated the dignity and reputation of the Chinese people.

Cafferty said the United States imported Chinese-made "junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet food" and added: "They're basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years."

CNN said Cafferty was expressing an opinion about the Chinese government, but the Foreign Ministry demanded an apology and accused the network of trying to drive a wedge between the Chinese people and leadership

The undesirables in U.S.
God bless America
.




I ask you as a Citizen and Hispanic origin, when is enough, is enough?.”


A century ago; the Irish and Chinese were feasting together on poor, unsuspecting Uncle Sam. Immigrants - Jews, Russian and Italians - were treated as a rats infesting the nation. Today, it’s the Mexicans who are infecting the U.S. with “unbounded levels of immigration labeled them as the worse criminals, rapists, drug addicts, and the list goes on and on. The Target change but the fear remain the same.

The same anti-immigrant sentiment vitrol of a century ago — only the country of origin and the color of skin have changed.

As a result, the poisonous residue of immigrant scapegoating has accumulated in the margins, fueling the rise of hate groups setting their sights on Latinos, regardless of citizenship status.

We must change the direction of this Anti Immigrant sentiment know. Unfortunately we do not have a political voice either government representation as a minority group at any level. When the Anti Immigrants has been incorporated into every level of government, the number of raids, detentions and deportations has skyrocketed.
We have been ignored and in such a polarized and ugly environment we need to stand and raise our voices for Human and Civil rights. Otherwise we will be marginized from America.


from Cable-TV pundits and radio shock-jocks to partisan "research" organizations such as the Center for Immigration Studies - has crafted in the public mind the archetype of the undocumented immigrant as Latino, as criminal, and as a threat to the "American way of life." This has opened the gates for the re-emergence of traditional hate groups, and fertilized the soil for the growth of new ones.
They continue scapegoating Latinos just for ignorance, and because we have a different color of skin
.

It's time to said enough is enough. Basta, abbastanza è abbastanza, bastante é bastante, genug sein genug, asse'est assez,genoeg is genoeg.

It's time to embrace our family and personal values, dignity, support, tolerance and build our leadership amongst ourselves. Latinos, Hispanics we are a majority minority group who can make the difference, the change.

We need to stop being used as a tool of propaganda for political purpose, economic failure, Natural disasters and individual paranoid interest.

Basta I will raise my voice until someone hear me and God Bless America.


MANASSAS, Va. (AP) - Federal immigration authorities have arrested 34 Latin American nationals at a Prince William County construction company for being in the U.S. illegally.
A spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says the workers are from Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras, Costa Rica and El Salvador. They are in ICE custody undergoing deportation proceedings.
The arrests occurred Monday at work sites for CMC Concrete Construction in the Manassas area.

ICE spokeswoman Ernestine Fobbs could not discuss why the construction company drew federal attention, saying two search warrants executed in connection with the operation were under seal.
