2- For someone that cares not whether the term Chicano is pejorative or not, you have a long winded "opinion" of what kind that person IS! We are still all entitled to our personal ideological beliefs.
3- Tricky answer Liq! 2 - 4 months here, 2 - 4 months there, well you know, it adds up to 12 eventually. ;-)
What was the question? Oh, just tell the obstructionists in charge in congress to get their partisan noses out of big corporate's back-sides long enough to pass a comprehensive guest worker program, that allows workers to return to India, Mexico, or wherever when work is finished. while they're at it, maybe up the NUMBER of H-2A visas available just a little each year...? Just a thought.
1) Not all Latino's are of Hispanic ethnicity as some are solely of Mayan, Aztec, etc. ancestry.
2) it wasn't an opinion, but a defining of what is Chicano ideology.
3) I note you know nothing of the H2A visa, it is evident with your maybe up the NUMBER of H-2A visas available just a little each year...? Just a thought., there is already NO QUOTA to the amount of H2A's allowed, so the farmers could literally bring in the entire worlds population under the H2A.
The farmers complaint is that they only need them for short periods not the full length or the required length, hence shortening the time allowed as I suggested.
Look at that, your link agrees with me, the only difference is that they recommened allowing for the migration between employers as they migrate quite a bit. Migrant workers frequently move from state to state.
Including anchor babies? After all, they are here legally.
I would argue that Transient Alien Laws of each State deny Citizenship to "Anchor Babies".

Government Code 241:
Quote:
240. The people, as a political body, consist of: (a) Citizens who are electors. (b) Citizens not electors. 241. The citizens of the State are: (a) All persons born in the State and residing within it, except the children of transient aliens and of alien public ministers and consuls. (b) All persons born out of the State who are citizens of the United States and residing within the State. 242. Persons in the State not its citizens are either: (a) Citizens of other States; or (b) Aliens.
I've been reading that illegal immigrant parents in Georgia are signing papers which basically turn their American-born children over to legal immigrant family members because they are AFRAID of being caught and deported or they are preparing to remove themselves from the United States..
If I am going about my business and not doing anything illegal, I am not AFRAID. This tells us that these illegal immigrants KNOW they are doing something ILLEGAL, otherwise they would have no fear of the consequences for their actions.
My LEGAL immigrant husband and I just enjoyed a meal prepared for us by our LEGAL immigrant daughter-in-law, which was paid for by my son through LEGALLY earned money. We ate it in the home paid for by my LEGAL immigrant husband, who obtains his livelihood LEGALLY. We have no fear.
I don't feel any sadness for the FEAR of these illegal immigrants, nor do I feel sad that they are opting to leave their children behind instead of taking them back to Mexico with them. They are making the CHOICE to abandon these supposedly much-loved meal tickets, er...children, behind, and they made the CHOICE to put their children in this situation in the first place.
Yeah, so much for their cries of "separation of family" when they are doing it themselves.
When one has absolute evidence that someone is guilty of a crime whether they be an immigrant or a citizen they shouldn't be defended by regular people. That isn't to stay they still shouldn't have their day in court. You don't know the difference between being defended in court and someone who isn't in a LE position? I never said they shouldn't be treated humanely either.
We should treat the greedy employers just as we do illegal aliens. They are both guilty of breaking the law.
Did I make everything clear enough for you now? As there seems be one heck of reading comprehension problem in this forum of late.
Just as long as the illegals do not cross the Alabama line. We need one virgin territory left to call America after the American flag is taken down in the other 49 states.
Does that fly above or below the stars and bars in your state......?
1) Not all Latino's are of Hispanic ethnicity as some are solely of Mayan, Aztec, etc. ancestry.
That would be Indians. We know the distinction. Split hairs much?

Defined by you. There are many definations.

I didn't say there was a quota, did I? I meant the restrictions for obtaining visas are often more red tape that most employers wish to go thru. The system is obviously flawed.... and it leads to cheating.

HuH? There are farms here that grow crops year round......>
On my soil, all flags fly subordinate to the stars and bars. They'll need to take me down before they take her down.
That would be called the CSA, not the USA.
They lost.
