Since you keep saying cir and dream does not have a possibility this year due to Health and energy bills, don't spend so much time here.

Save all your energy till when you really believe its going to pass.

Bye

And creating second class citizens is unconstitutional.
do you lack critical thinking? you see one thing and ignore the rest? being able to sponsor relatives for immigration purposes is again, derived from US immigration policy, not from interpretation of the constitution.

being able to sponsor your relatives is not a constitutional right. learn the definition of rights before you open your trap.

the constitution defines "human rights" that are inherent to all human beings that cannot be denied by the government. this is different from "legal rights" set forth by independent legislations. being able to drive is a "legal right", not a "human right". the fact that you are able to "sponsor" your family members to come to the US is a "legal right" defined by the Nationality Act of 1965, not a "human right" derived from the constitution.



Quote:
My parents, siblings, relatives and up to three generations of my family are either citizens or residences. So stop assuming things.
i wasnt just talkin about your family. i was referring to all family members of dreamies by using yours as an example. if they are citizens, fine. if you cant figure out the intention of the statement, go practice on your reading comprehension. lol



Quote:
So far Semi good. One thing i need to note here, is that the meaning of white was very different then than now. One example is that Mexicans were considered as legally white back then. other than that, so far ok.
whats the point of this argument? the interpretation of "white people" has no relevance to the factual statement i made which is that immigration laws started out with legislations separate from the constitution. again, good job going off on random tangents and trying to start something out of nothing.


Quote:
Immigration reform laws have been changing much more often. Some of the major ones are the 1917, 1924 and 1952 acts. Then The next major one was the 1965 act. And yes, the 1965 immigration act did what you said.
i didnt have to list every single reform laws that were passed in the last 200 years to make a point. again, pointless rebuttal other than just to respond to the statement. rofl. good job. also, those "major laws" only changed numerical values of the quota, but nothing significant that changed how basic immigration works. that happened in 1965 when they instituted unlimited family visas. go google more.





Quote:
I have no idea why you are talking about the immigration history. I know all of these ( and probably many other people on this forum know too).
based on what you said, i doubt it. everyone can google. rofl. if you're honestly saying that you knew that there were immigration laws passed in 1917, 1924, and 1952, then god bless you. you know your immigration laws history. if you googled them and you are just lying to make youself look half smart, then you are a joke. and only you and god would know that. rofl

Quote:
The problem is you failed to read what i said and is going off-topic or since you have no counter argument, you are talking about something else.

I will write it in bold so you can understand,

Giving rights to one group of citizens while not giving them to another group of citizens is unconstitutional.

The future Dreamy will be a citizen one day. And when that happens, if that dreamy is not allowed to fill petitions for his/her relative while other citizens can, then that would be unconstitutional.
i guess you have short term memory. go read whats been said. you are stating that forbidding family sponsorship is "unconstitutional" because you would create citizens who cant "sponsor", and this goes against "equality".

i know this is a hard concept for you to understand, but family sponsorship is governed by US immigration policy, not the constitution. in other words, family sponsorship is a previlege, not a "human right". it is a "legal right", not a "human right". understood?




Quote:
Yeah it seems you missed my typo as well. For some one claiming to have studied immigration law and knows so much, it is amazing how you missed it.

It is the Civil right act of 1964 and not 1965.
in either case we both know which act we are talking about and this is just your pathetic attempt to nitpick something completely trivial in order to one-up on me. pathetic. and stay on topic, even though we all know you're getting creamed here.

Quote:
Also, although you "claim" to have read about these stuff before, your lack of knowledge does surprise me. I highly doubt you have taken any thing higher than a high school course around this subject matter.

Let me enlighten you as how Civil right act of 1964 is relevant. This act grants congress the power to enforce the " the equal protection under law" clause of the fourteenth amendment in the constitution, under the commerce clause of civil right act.

So what does this mean?

It means, Every one is equal under the law. And i will emphasize one more time ( since you lack reading comprehension), if the future dreamy to be citizen does not have the same right as all citizens , granted by the 14th amendment of the constitution, then that is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
civil right act of 1964 redefines the "all men" phrase of the bill of rights by including the minorities and later women as well. gives "human rights" to those who were denied before. this law has nothing to do with "privileges" set forth by independent legislations such as the ability to sponsor family members.


lets say im a citizen. if i dont have a license, i am forbidden to drive even though there are other citizens who can. this is not unconstitutional even though not being able to drive prevents me from pursuing my happiness. this is a matter of legality, not constitutionality.

if im forbidden to sponsor my family because i chose to gain my citizenship through DREAM act with this provision in it, this isnt "unconstitutional". this is a matter of legality, not constitutionality.






Quote:
I talked about the civil right act and he talks about immigration reform act.

I think he probably thought they were the same things. Just because two bills were passed around the same time, it does not make the same bill by the way ( of course you would know that ).
do you post stuff without even remembering what you wrote hours ago? im the one who said civil rights act has no relevance to immigration laws. and you say that i think the two laws are the same?

My comment wasn't manifested from thin air, I've seen some of the material you've posted, Its contents were very closely aligned to Fox news. Im not saying to shelter us from the harsh reality's of life, but do you have to spew it constantly, cmon now. It appears like its ur one and only agenda.
so after looking through all those posts that i "babbled" in, you got tired of trying to find what you were looking for, meaning you couldnt find it. you couldnt find anything "radical" in what i said. in fact, all you could find were opinions that just sound too damn "harsh" for your liking.






Quote:
I came to this conclusion based on your opinions of illegals in this country. This forum is about passage of DREAM Act, not differentiating CIR from DREAM.

uh..yeah this forum is about passage of DREAM act, and im focusing on DREAM by differentiating from CIR. whats your point.

Quote:
And I believe this is all due to your personal affairs. I don't know the circumstances, so i apologize if i am misinformed, but weren't your parents "lawbreakers" too?
yeah, they are in legal sense. again, whats your point?

Quote:
Now you want to label all of our parents lawbreakers, but that label really doesn't matter too much to you, since everyone in your family has status, but you.
the fact that my parents are now legal doesnt take away from the fact that they broke the law knowingly. whats your point?


Quote:
According to the law, after 18yrs of age, your a law breaker too.
hmm, which is another point that i have constantly mentioned that you have failed to read. i said we did not break the law willingly, and the fact that we stayed here in this country after the age of 18 is because all we know is here, we are totally and utterly assimilated to this country, to this culture because of the fact taht we've been living here since we were so young. yes, by technicality we are law breakers too. what differentiates us from "them" is that we did not choose to break the law in the first place and had to be subsequetly forced to make a near impossible choice between staying here or going somewhere you have completely no idea about.

this makes our case more compelling, compared to simply giving amnesty to lawbreakers.

Quote:
You even went as far to stipulate how DREAM act should have a clause where we cant sponsor our parents, that doesn't matter much to you, because your lawbreaking parents aren't illegal. Once again, my apologies if this is misinformation.
when did i say DREAM ACT should have this clause? rofl. i offered it as a suggestion to getting more votes and acnowledged that its something that would be unlikely to pass, and you took it by heart, got annoyed, and started making stuff up in your head.




Quote:
In other words, Mabye you should take into account your "belittling and disparaging remarks". Your views and opinions, like Matias stated are "Advocating for DREAM while at the same time embracing the opposition's hateful rhetoric..." I quoted it, simply because it was written so eloquently. This is in no way an endorsement of Matias. Its a quite simply analogy, Treat others, the way you want to be treated.
sorry my opinions are not "belittling and disparaging". you interpret them that way. thats on you, not me. the fact that i think DREAM has more compelling case then CIR because of issue of knowingly commiting the crime does not mean im belittling our parents and uncles. all i said is that they broke the law knowingly, and we didnt so DREAM act needs to be separate from CIR. you interpreted that as me saying im on high pedestal compare to all other illegal immigrants. again, thats on you, not me.

learn to be tolerant of others





Quote:
"rofl" Tune into your realist perceptions, and it will make sense. Your going to self deport because as an illegal immigrant, your a lawbreaker. According to your own opinion, lawbreakers really have no merit. If you were focusing on passage of dream, why are your trying to distinguish and diminish other groups. The same groups that are fighting for us. Not to mention the personal aspect of our "lawbreaking" parents, who underwent so many sacrifices to bring us here.
the fact that im saying they broke the law knowingly and willingly is not belittling them. thats stating a fact. hey we broke the law as well by staying here after we turned 18. ok. so what? im just differentiating the cause effect relationship between us and "them". what part of that dont you understand? LOL.





Quote:
Your misinformed, my views of you will break forum rules. Yes, i realize you are just stating your opinion, but that argument is getting a bit repetitive. Anti-Immigrant groups are just "stating there opinions", does that make it right? Thats what makes this so indescribable. As an illegal, you should understand the struggles we face day in and out, yet for some reason, some of your values are aligned with there train of thoughts. Im not saying your on there side, i just think this stems into the reality, that your only concern is yourself, and you dont mind climbing over a few people to complete your objective.
there are no right and wrong when it comes to opinions. even our enemies' opinions (not talking about extremist groups who spew racial hatred...talking about "civilized" anti-immigration advocates). they are not "right" to us only because we are on the other fence of the issue. thats why they are called opinions. this just goes to show how you are as bigoted and biased as those hard core anti-immigration groups. their opinions are their opinions and we see them as "wrong". they think the same about your opinions.

my opinions are just opinions. learn to read opinions from an unbiased point of view. dont let others crawl under your skin. ignore it if you have a problem with it. dont let me get to your head. have some self control.

Nice triple post lol.


Giving rights to one group of citizens while not giving them to others is not constitutional based on the fourteenth amendment's " Equal protection under law" clause.



Now tell me which part of that do you not understand? That is NOT an argument. That is a FACT.

The right to sponger your family member is part of a LAW. And " Equal Protection under law" Clause does not allow for second class citizens.

P.S. Almost every single statement you made is eaither inaccurate or is missing. Correcting all of your mess is going to take me probably an hour and i am not going to waste of my precious time your posts any more. You obviously have no idea of the constitution and how does the law system works. For starters, all laws have to go through court review for constitutionality check before they are laws ( That INCLUDES immigration laws). I just hope people do not really take your posts seriously. Because everything you have said so far is either inaccurate, missing bits or just could as well be something you got from a fortune cookie. Don't bother replying to my posts any more, because i am not going to waste my time to reply back. A best way to avoid a troll is to simply just ignore his posts.

I just got my citizenship and from the looks of it I might just be able to apply for my parents right now, they're in their 50s. Siblings case may take years so the DREAM Act would be their one alternative. The opposition claims I'll be able to apply for uncles, cousins etc. and that is their main argument about it which is false . They just want to water it down for the sake of watering it down and making you less than them. (Have less rights then them). (Kindawant could you link me to where You get the info on applying for aunts/uncles? I didn't know it was even possible. Not that I'm planning to do it but curious.)

I'd say that the suggestion to take that option away from the DREAM Act makes sense just to shut the opposition up but then again their argument against it is baseless. I mean it doesn't really help me with my parents and my siblings would get their deal w/ DREAM but it's just not right to alter DREAM in such manner just to make someone who doesn't like its overall premise happy. While most parents would not mind as long their kids get their situation fixed, it is the creation of a second class citizen (as mentioned many times before). I mean what will happen if you get a hot Russian wife? You'd not be able to apply for her! Bummer

If you're happy doing that for the sake of shutting someone up GOOD FOR YOU, but at the end of the day the opposition will just come back with another baseless argument and little by little water DREAM down to where it won't even be the DREAM Act many are fighting for or even worst, A DREAM Act that you don't qualify for!

The DREAM Act is good as it stands and none of the fights here matter either way. As mentioned before, no Congressman reads the arguments here so trying to redefine DREAM on DAP is a waste of time, much all of the above I just typed.
Aunts/Uncles would be petitioned as a sibling to your parents once they-your parents-become a citizen through your petition for them.

LOL. go over equal protection clause again. i know all this legal stuff is bit confusing for you, but you are misinterpreting what the law is actually about.

also, forbidding family sponsorship is not based on discrimination, it is a legal restriction. still confused? go consult your lawyer. LOL

another random baseless comment to cover up your cluelessness. you are either really thick headed, or refuses to read something and process the information because you know you're wrong. meh

i guess you are having hard time comprehending this whole thing. let me dumb this down to the point where even you can understand it: forbidding family sponsorship is not unconstitutional, it is constitutional. plain simple

list one incidence where i initiated a conversationw ith you or replied to your post from the very beginning. stop replying to my posts. you are the one who pops up like a roach everytime i post a response to original topic and attempts to debate me. LOL. it was fun owning you. late.

Bruinman, one last attempt to try to show you the facts,


Could you please this answer question of mine? Answer it only by using either the word " Constitutional" Or " Unconstitutional". Also try to not dodge the question as you always do.


Here it goes,

A congressman tries to pass a law that states:

" Only White USA citizens are allowed to sponsor their family members for immigration purposes. All other ethnic/minority citizens are from now on not allowed to sponsor their family members for immigration purposes".



Constitutional or unconstitutional?

So i guess you are going to waste more time, despite what you said mere hours ago.

rofl, you are trying to bring up the race card into this? LOL. typical. except that DREAM ACT with this provision is not forbidding family sponsorship based on race. forbidding family sponsorship based on the fact that you received citizenship through DREAM ACT is not unconstitutional because first, the provision itself is within the range of constitutionality and, just to address your concern, its not a discrimination against any race, ethnicity, gender, etc etc. it is merely a restrictive clause tha tapplies to everyone who chooses to gain citizenship through DA. in case you dont know, DREAM ACT beneficiaries include white people as well.

so dont turn this debate into white people vs minorities because you are going off on tangents again. running out of things to say? LOL

Or, The fact that your counter argument was just asking me to reiterate what i already stated but in a different context, could also make you out to be a troll with artificial facts as well. I'm not going to plead with you like Dr.Phil, although his insulting is pretty cool.

So in reality, the only thing this sums up, is your inability to accept you just might be impotent once in a while. (No not ED, your personal malfunctions is your own business) Just kidding.
you claimed my opinions are "radical" but cant find any posts that support your claim. im not asking you to reiterate what you said, im asking you to link a post where i was being "radical". you cant find anything, despite your effort and getting "tired" of reading through so many of my posts.

its a simple request, amongst many others that i have asked, you are having hard time answering. rofl, seems like you got owned.
