OK Jeane, let me pose the following scenarios for you and ask what YOU
would suggest:
A. A citizen of another country, doesn't matter which, emigrates to this
country and promptly commits and gets convicted of the crime of sale of
narcotics, to wit: Cocaine.
Should we allow him to remain here or remove him and send him packing?
B. Same immigrant, different scenario. He comes here as a student, or a
tourist, marries an American woman, not because he loves her and wishes to
make a life with her, but simply as a means to an end, to wit: a green
card. Once he gets his precious card, he dumps her. Leaves her flat. Oh,
and by the way, because his culture views women as property, he impregnates
her before he leaves her.
Should he stay or go? Whatever you say, give me your reasons.
C. Same alien. This one brings his wife, five kids, and extended family
with him. They rent a two bedroom apartment, lying on the application
claiming it's only the wife and husband. There are now 12 people living in
a two bedroom apartment.
The landlord finds out and begins eviction proceedings. An immigrant's
rights advocacy group files suit to block the eviction claiming
discrimination.
How would you rule in this case and why?
D. An ILLEGAL alien rents a two bedroom apartment and then 14 other illegal
aliens move in. Same landlord, same eviction, same activist organization,
same lawsuit.
Your decision?
E. A naturalized United States citizen petitions to have his extended
family join him in the United States. This includes his mother, father, his
wife's mother and father, and both his and his wife's brothers, sisters,
their spouses and their children. He signs an affidavit of support
promising to support all of these people and promising that they will not
become public charges.
Well, as predicted, the entire family shows up and of course, they apply
for and receive public assistance. Should the petitioning son be held
responsible for his family as he promised in writing?
If so, why? If not, why? And should the family be sent home since they
became public charges in violation of our law?
