A. If you are a naturalized citizen, you can not be deported unless there is proof that you lied on your application for citizenship. For example, if you were a mass murderer in Croatia, and when you applied for citizenship here you used the identity of one of your victims, your citizenship could be revoked. What you have seen are either people here illegally, or folks who are here legally, but are not citizens, who have violated the laws here and have forfeited their privilege of being here! You are a citizen, and have the same rights as someone who was born here. You are also subject to the same laws, and punishments, so try to follow the law!!!

A. well, the language barrier is a problem. i do not understand chinese, russian, etc. some cultures do not allow a woman to talk to a male stranger, they have to talk through the dominant male, thereby not all info is given. some cultures it is taboo for a non-family male to touch a female. and, depending on where they are from, medical records, diagnosis, immune shots, and medicines are slim to none. health care in other countries is like non-existent, so people who come here have advanced cases and require more treatment than others. - more medication, treatment, and maybe other, more aggressive treatments that cost all of us more in the end. also, they are given medical care no matter if they can pay or not, and are given medicare and/o [cont.]

What is this immigration reform that those supporting illegal aliens keep demanding Is it making something?
Q. What is this "immigration reform" that those supporting illegal aliens keep demanding? Is it making something that is illegal legal? Is it amnesty for those who have broken our laws? Is it relaxing immigration laws in order to improve the already overwhelming influx of immigrants? That's what it appears to be. So considering this, how long will it be until this country becomes just like the countries the illegals are fleeing en masse?
Asked by Maricopa County - Sat Feb 27 00:17:44 2010 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. They want amnesty to reward those who broke the law. They are for the destruction of this country and worry more about people who don't belong here than the real citizens who are this country!! If by chance another amnesty is ever passed, we can kiss the good ole usa goodbye. These people are already draining our country and it will be 100 times worse if thes legalize these invaders.

How can I start a business in Immigration?
Q. I am trying to start my own business in the Immigration field. I have 6 years of heavy experience in regards to Immigration and its laws. I have worked with various prestigious Immigration attorneys and other organizations. I have finally decided to become my own boss. However, I have received very little information on how to start my own business. I have heard that there are grants that the government provides, but I don't know where to go. I have searched the internet and have found very little. If any one of you can advice as to where to go or where to call, that will be very helpful.

A. You need to put together a business plan. This will force you to detail exactly what it is you want to do, who your clients are going to be and how you will charge them among other things. I would go to and find the telephone for the Dallas chapter and set up an appointment with a local counselor. The service is free and they are very professional and good at what they do. You might also take a look at and read some of the articles on starting a business. Hope this helps.

what is different between united states immigration and egypt immigration?
Q. In what ways the Egypt immigration is different from Egypt immigrations. Tell me some reasons how it is different from U.S immigration from Egypt immigration.
Asked by saad1224 - Sat Oct 27 15:58:59 2007 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments

A. The biggest difference is that Egypt doesn't have half a million Mexicans dodging immigration laws and trying to sneak into your country illegally...and I don't think Egypt would put up with that problem as passively as the US has...by the way, I recently met a family of Egyptian immigrants to the US last year...The father and mother are both physicians (and the father teaches at a medical school as well), and their son is an excellent basketball player who received a scholarship to play at a major college...very accomplished, respectable, nice people

What can the average American do about illegal immigration issues?
Q. I think it's pretty obvious by now that illegal immigration hurts any country (whether it's the U.S. or the U.K.) in many ways. I am all for stopping illegal immigration, and doing it humanely, but it seems like our government is too focused on foreign problems. What can we as average citizens do to make our voices heard on this issue? Do we need to write our Senator, our Congressman, the President? How do we make our voices heard? I would like to align myself with an organization that is firm but not extreme. Frankly, some of the organizations that I've looked for on the net do seem racist, don't really seem to offer any solutions, and just seem content on complaining.

A. I like your point of view, and it seems similar to mine. Illegal immigration is a problem that must be stopped, but we most do it intelligently and humanely, not with extreme measures. The key in solving the issue is in improving our immigration system referring not only to security, but also making it easier for people who want to come here, and legalizing those who are already here through a selective process. It's not about rewarding criminals, it is about avoiding another huge flood of illegal immigrants. I've always said that if we send twelve million home today, we will get twenty-four million back tomorrow. Also notice that this is NOT an amnesty, since border security would be strengthened severely, and all those who pass the… [cont.]

Q. I know this guest worker plan is a big joke, but seriously, if there should be any change, what should it be?
