U.S. illegal immigrants 'self deport' as woes mount

[Nagishkaw 510]

That's what makes America great : choice.

You can't hide from the problems we allow to continue happening. Better invest in fixing the problem in the first place and avoiding allowing our public officials and private citizens to play Monopoly with other countries' citizens.

Do you mean ... the illegal ones ... the ones that invaded a sovereign country?

Invaded? "to enter for conquest or plunder"

Time to choose a new catch word.

Seems to fit very well.

Invade

verb: -vad·ed, -vad·ing, -vades.

transitive verb

To enter by force in order to conquer or pillage.

To encroach or intrude on; violate

To overrun as if by invading; infest

To enter and permeate, especially harmfully.

Wrongfully taking billions of dollars a year from the US taxpayer can reasonably be referred to as plunder.

It fits ... and is true. Don't like the truth ... feel free to imagine your own.

Actually, I do imagine my own. Unfortunately, you'll never hear it on Walton & Johnson.

They're on the only decent rock station here. So if I'm listening to the station at night, I get that first thing in the morning. They both have hard-ons about illegal immigration and like using catch words like "invading" and "reconquista." I just think it's kind of silly to imply that this is an "invasion." It's illegal immigration. Either that or the US has been under constant invasion for over 500 years.

Okay, then we've been under an invasion for over 500 years. I'm okay with that.

[Peikko 1,575]

Who's 'we' in this context? (500 years) The Native American?

People who use such words do so to conjure up feelings of outrage to try to elicit action, which is fine except such feelings are often extremely negative and can result in indiscriminate acts of hate rather than sensible measures. Most people who use these provocative and emotive terms know the results they have as well.

I was just speaking in general starting around Columbus, on through Irish stowaways, and up to fence jumpers. A lot of people in the US have ancestors who came here illegally, hence 500 year invasion.

I'm not saying that people should be allowed to stay and use our healthcare, but catch words like invasion drive me insane. They're really stretching the use of the word to make it fit.

Please provide links to the past 500 years worth of various governing bodies laws, that document the immigration policies over this time period. This will help with the understanding of the past 500 years worth of invasion by illegals.

I'll help you get started with some USA immigration pre-1900 information.

Pre-1900

There was no perceived need for an immigration service in the United States in its early days. The country was still enormous and immigration was welcome. In fact, the first immigration law in the United States, passed in 1864, was actually intended to encourage immigration by making the process easier by assisting in transportation and SETTLEMENT. Most immigration matters were handled by individual states until nearly three decades later, when the number of immigrants was growing rapidly and the state laws were competing with federal statutes.

The Immigration Act of 1891 gave control of the immigration process to the federal government. Under the law, the new Office of Immigration (then a branch of the U. S. Treasury Department) was able to consolidate the process and thus streamline it as well. Soon after the office was established, 24 inspection stations were opened at various ports of entry (both on the borders and at seaports). The most famous of these inspection stations was the one on Ellis Island in New York Harbor. Opened in 1892, it processed hundreds of thousands of immigrants for more than 60 years. (Today, the site is a museum dedicated to the immigrants who came to New York.) In fact, in 1893, of the 180 employees at Immigration, 119 (nearly two-thirds) worked at Ellis Island. While Ellis Island remained the best known immigrant station, others were built or expanded, and former state customs officials were hired to serve as immigration inspectors. During these early years the basic structure of the U. S. immigration service was formulated and formalized. It was at Ellis Island that the process of choosing who would and who would not gain admission was refined. Boards of Special Inquiry were developed to hear individual exclusion cases and determine whether a decision to deport could be reversed.

Stowaways ... they wanted a free ride ... consider it stealing passage from the shipping company.

Entry into the US is a different issue. Depending on the time ... the entry may not have been illegal.

stow·a·way

n.

A person who hides aboard a ship or other conveyance in order to obtain free passage.

The white man didn't exactly come here legally.
