NYT membership is free and worth signing up for!

The guy was arrested three times for using a doctored Metropass card to use the transit system - he also sold this service to other people. After his third arrest he was detained, then deported for a 'crime involving moral turpitude'.

If I register, I need to give their email address and
I am now very paranoid about giving my email address.
Everytime I give my email adrress, my email account is bound
to be spammed.

1) I think the NYT has pretty strict privacy protections
2) set up a hotmail or yahoo address to use for online news subscriptions. Most online newspapers require it. Once you've logged in with that address, it sticks via a cookie.

Have you ever thought of setting up a email a/c for all the junk? It's free anyway...

The supreme court is hearing some important immigration cases

Leocal v. Ashcroft

this guy has been a LPR for more than 20 years and got a DUI in florida. They now want to deport him because they are now interpreting ordinary DUI's as "aggrivated felonys"

this one is worth keeping an eye on.

Since I am very paranoid about accidental death (trust me on this,
from now on, of all these people reading this post, probaly no one
will get deported, but definitly some one will be killed in traffic), so
I think it make sense to get tough on DUI. DUI drivers kill
more people than terrorists.

But I also do sympathize with the people who get into
trouhble by DUI when no damage is done.

A wise thing to do is, don't DUI in teh 1st place
 
deportation is in order

If a person has been a green card holder for 20 years and not bothered to take up US citizenship or is just not interested, I would not feel any empathy for him/her situation. That is the risk people take by not becoming citizens of the country they live and work in. My 2c worth

this is surprising. this means, we gotta understand the "State Law" to know, what different traffic voilations mean in different states.

I was searching http://www.lawmoose.com to find Minnesota Traffic Laws. I'm not sure, how to reach the right source. Does anyone know where to get all these laws/ordinances/whatever they'r called, am not sure. A simple search for 'traffic' on their site reveals too much information. Does anyone know, how to find / get started ... all about the state traffic laws and penalties.

Yes. In some states, speeding can actually lead to deportation, because the maximum penalty is over 1 year.

Thanks, its good to know. I did search the minnesota website and found all the Traffic codes and descriptions, but the problem is, it doesn't list "maximum penalty" ?

Any idea, where to find that info.

secondly, if you know, which are exactly the states, where speeding has penalty over 1 yr (so the PR's should avoid goin there)

There is a book called "Beat Your Ticket" by David Brown, published by
NOLO.

Appendix gave akk state traffic laws websites.

Hmm, no idea. It should be in the code.
Somewhere in the East, but I forgot which state exactly. And this was speeding over a certain limit, I think.
In any case, an easy way to avoid that is to not speed, of course... or rather, not getting caught ;)

I think that such laws are only on paper and if a citizen
is really sentenced to more than one year for
driving 5 MPH above limit, he can appeal to Supreme
Court to get that law repealed on the basis of
unusualy punishement.

But if one is not a citizen, one can get deported
way before he even has a chance to appeal
to the Supreme Court.

Sure, just because the person does not feel like applying for citizenship that means s/he's not intrested in living in US. Nice interpreation. ... :rolleyes:

Some people don't take US citizenship because their origin countries don't allow dual citizenships and they don't want to loose that citizenship due to various reasons - family, dillema, uncertainity etc. But 20 years is pretty long period to think tru it though.
But anyway, citizenship has nothing to do with intent of residency.
On the other hand, some people may not be eligible for citizenship of they break their contineous residency on and off throughout this 20 years.
