Hi all
Today there is a big demonstration going on in front of USCIS local office in downtown Chicago from all the illegals and their advocates who are here from all over the midwest region against the bills considered or passed in Congress.
They also give a call for one day strike to convey a message that how much driving force they have and they are doing the jobs that other prople dont want to do.

If they dont have any fears why we all are having fears in coming in front and tell them the problems we are going through. Just a suggestion.

Good Luck to all.
 
What if INS/USCIS decides to organize a raid on that very demonstration to round up illegals. They must be fools to think there is no chance of that, especially with the right winger Republicans becoming more and more illegal.
 
hi kamrans

i walked past the procession this afternoon - they had shown up in the thousands, and this was just in the city of chicago. if this show of strength is anything to go by, seems like the illegals will again get amnesty, and sending all legal immigrants like us back to the 19th century in the queue for green cards.

would say we continue lobbying with our senators, congressmen, etc and educate them about the difference between legal & illegals.
 
Thats what I am saying. I have already contacted Brarka Obama and Durbin and they have my letters and I got responses from them. I will again go and talk to them in person rather then sending letters.
This is insane that they dont understand the difference between legals and illegals.
I really dont know what we need to do. We all are totally screwed for years.

There is a difference...

...between illegals and legals ofcourse. Among others, there is the huge divide of blue and white collar workers. America will be lenient with blue collar, low-paid, menial workers because most americans do not want those jobs.

America knows that it is in her interest to not come down too heavy on the illegals. They are never a threat mainly because they are not considered equal. There is an element of sympathy sometimes for the poor, illiterate, down-trodden workers (Part of american sensibility).

White collar workers from India, China, or other parts are much smaller in number but a relatively bigger threat. They are competing with the creme de la creme of the american society. they are highly educated, highly skilled, and will invariably displace an american worker in a tight job market. By becoming residents and citizens, they could have a powerful voice in shaping future policies, be it political, financial or social. Above all, they demand parity and equity and America is forced to treat them as equals.

In an ever-changing global dynamics and power-struggle, America will try to maintain her dominance by exercising various mechanisms, not the least of which is to stem the tide of immigrants, who, unlike their predecessors are more in touch with their homeland and are taking billions of dollars out of the United States as foreign remittance.
 
I disagree that is the case. Most people I talk to, including a couple of immigration reduction groups really show more respect to ourselves because we can offer something here. I think illegals receive the red carpet for a very specific reason:they can offer very cheap labor to US employers and therefore maximize profits upfront. Obviously employers are the only ones who benefit, because in reality Americans end up subsidising medical, public schools, cost of jail, etc to illegals. The problem is that we have no strong support from US employers in our side anymore since all they care is that we can keep renewing EAD and H1b.

All this support to illegals coming from AILA, the Catholic Churches and selected Senators have a main motivation:profits, not sentiment to the poor immigrants. That's all. I am sure that many immigration attorneys, Catholic Churches and Senators and big corporations also realize that supporting illegals can bring negative consequences and in reality the "poor" illegal immigrants should be deported immediately, but the thirst for profit is too high.

Interesting thoughts.

I tend to agree with you about much of this. The USA now has a rather schizophrenic attitude toward immigration. It wants desperately the benefits of immigration but does not want to 'pay' the social price for it. As you rightly point out they do not want the competition from foreign labour and capital even but want the benefit of cheap labour and goods.
This is all likely over time to evolve to a policy where they allow young productive workers in for limited periods of time at the end of which it is demanded that they return home. Such policies will become more widespread all over the developed world as their populations age.
Unfortunately this type of policy along with the development of technologies that serve to level the playing field will only lead to the USA and Europe losing their leadership position in the world in my view.
Yet this change will take time, perhaps most of our lifetimes. It will take many decades just because of how far ahead the USA and Europe are of the rest of the developing world where the maximim amount of humanity and therefore inate human talent and energy lies.
The sad part of all this is that it goes against all that the USA has stood for in the past many decades and which has in part led to its leadership positionin the world. Immigrants are good for the country since they exude ambition, energy and entrepreneurship, and since they have a lot of catching up to do they bring a certain vitality to the country. All of this is largely still true but nevertheless it is falling more on deaf ears nowadays as the average blue collar worker feels more threatened by the globalisation trends.
