get our citizenship today

Congrats, but now you're going to disappear on us, given that your process is over?

'Go home!': Residents in an upscale Tijuana neighborhood throw rocks at the migrant caravan and order them out of Mexico while US troops put MORE barbed wire up to stop hundreds arriving at the border from climbing the wall

Ironic.

 

And here's a quote from the article:  "Mexican Interior Minister Alfonso Navarrete said that job fairs would be held around the country from today to lay out opportunities for Central Americans, reiterating earlier government offers of work."

 

More irony:  the Mexicans are offering to hire illegals!

It's a free country, and for all we know that person might a very good reason for not wishing to stand for the anthem. I always stand myself, but I would not be particularly upset either way, even if it was the Irish national anthem, someone chose to sit down for.

Punishing someone because they chose not to stand for an anthem is what they do in fascist dictatorships. 

It appears no one was punished so your sensibilities need not yet again be offended

To be fair she was with a person being sworn in. I dont care if I was in North Korea I would stand for their Anthem out of respect for those around me

If I were in The DPRK, I would definitely stand for their national anthem.  No questions asked. It wouldn’t be out of respect, but out of fear for my life if I don’t. 

 

Congratulations. Im sure it was a proud and emotional moment for the both of you. Im looking forward to the day my wife and I will do the same.

  Damaged facet joints. Years of sparring and every once in a while you end up taking a kick to the head. Thank goodness for protective gear. Anyway, supposedly not serious, but dang noisy.

Well, in spite of being told here that this caravan is faux news, the Mexican government seems to believe it is actually moving north thru their country still.

Also of note... though we have been informed here that this happens almost daily, nothing to see here, the NY Times seems to think this caravan is the largest ever.

'Out! Out!': protests grow in Tijuana against migrant caravan

Tensions have built as nearly 3,000 migrants poured into the Mexican border city in recent days

Sadly, I see nothing good coming out of this mess.  Not for Mexico, and certainly not for the migrants.  It’s hard for me to fathom how bad it must have been at home to uproot their families and try to walk to America.  But I wonder if they are really in any better place today?  Mexico is offering to “let” them work in their factories.  But when I read that word, my mind changes it to “sweatshop”.  I hope the migrants have not jumped from the frying pan into the fire.

Well, how would WE feel if a bunch of freeloaders showed up and began consuming our resources?

 

Local TV anchorman has embedded himself in the caravan.

Showed some of the fisticuffs today.  No welcome mat for that crowd, wow man.

One native repeatedly clobbered an illegal who was trying to scale our border fence.

Has anyone called the people of Tijuana racist for chanting for them to get out and chanting they are not wanted there?

It's 3 years after the "Resident Since XXXX" on the Greencard. 

 

So it was someone being naturalized or a visitor that failed to stand up for the National Anthem? 

Three year for a marriage based GC.  I believe the children automatically get naturalized when the mother does.
