Sex for Green Card

A screening officer of the U.S. immigration agency faces charges of sexual assault. 22 year old Colombian women of New York met with Isaac Baichu to settle her green Card issues, everything was in place ready to go. Isaac asked this lady for her number in case anything came up. He called her and arranged a meeting in an informal place (car) and demanded sex. This women tried to leave but the immigration officer grabbed her and forced her to perform oral sex. This is one of those few cases where, the immigrant builds up courage to speak out and go against the immigration office. Many times immigrants do not stand up for themselves in fear that they will get deported. This 22 year old women said that was the only reason she stayed in the car, because she was afraid that the immigrant officer was going to mess with her paper work that was ready to be accepted. I think that the immigration officers should not be allowed to meet outside of their office and be supervised a little more closely. If this doesn’t happen their will be many more cases on CNN related to this one. I also think their should be some campaigns or awareness of what immigration officers can and can not do, also on the steps an abused immigrant can take to turn in these corrupt officials.

Should Puerto Rico become a State?

Should Puerto Rico become a State? Puerto Rico is currently a common wealth of the United States, all Puerto Ricans become U.S. Citizens upon reaching mainland. Senator McCain said that he will bring up the process if he becomes president. McCain basically wants to ask Puerto Rico if it wants to become a state. This in his view would be better since they will get senate representation with voting rights, becoming a state for Puerto Rico does not come cheap in my opinion. This means that they will be a full part of the United States and this means that in a way their culture will be lost once fully mixing with the greater U.S. population. I think Puerto Rico has no real need to become a state. They have citizenship once they reach mainland and can travel back and forth and maintain their culture. Puerto Rico has no worries since the U.S. has their back in case of an invasion or attack. The only way I see Puerto Rico becoming a state is if the United States would say we no longer have your back if someone where to attack. Then I think Puerto Ricans will feel that need of protection, and make that decision otherwise Puerto Ricans have it nice U.S. Citizenship and their country, because that is what it is their country.

Law 300

The anti immigration laws have gone over and beyond, affecting many that maybe don’t even know their country of origin and just want to better themselves here in the their country. This is the case with the Arizona State law 300. This law is making it basically impossible for any undocumented immigrant to have a college education. This law makes illegal immigrantes pay thousands more by having them pay out of state tuition. To me this is not right because if the students are at the university they are trying to better themselves and want to be someone some day. It’s like the state is closing the doors on them, because many of theses students have to fund most if not all of their education and making them pay out of state tuition will make it impossible for them to continue. In the long run the US will benefit from their immigrants being educated because they are probably going to become citizens in the future and be a part of this country. To me this move by Arizona is saying that they are trying to keep the immigrants population (mainly Latinos) ignorant or uneducated. They fear that one day immigrants will be equal or better than them and that’s why they charge them out of state tuition to make it almost impossible to become educated and be able to fight for rights and be more politically aware to where maybe in the future they can vote against laws like this

MEXICO USA border

The Multimillion Dollar wall between the United States and Mexico border is a great attempt by the United States to stop illegal immigrants as well as illegal drugs from entering the country. To tackle this problem Bush proposed a huge wall that would span much of the border. This proved too costly and labor intense especially due to the desert conditions in Texas where most of the construction was planed to happen. Instead Boeing Co. took on a multimillion dollar project to build a virtual wall called project 28. This wall will consist of about 9 tours that have very sophisticated cameras and censors that are capable of distinguishing from cattle and humans. These set of towers will cover a span of about 1,078 kilometers and will require less labor intense work in the desert. My question is, will all this spending to stop illegal immigration and drugs really work? I believe it won’t work, it will drop the numbers for a little but it’s only a matter of time before the coyotes figure out a way to get around this technology. I think this will not help stop the drug problem because most of the drugs smuggled in to this country don’t come through the desert. Drugs are usually flown in or passed through the border itself, all it takes it a price and every border patrol agent has a price. If not by air the drugs enter under ground. There have been tunnels that connect these two countries used to smuggle drugs, a couple have been found but their could be more that remain undiscovered. I just think the United States government should use other methods to handle the immigration issue because this wall thing is not going to work.
