What were the results of Zoila Meyer's deportation immigration hearing?
Meyers' hearing was scheduled for July 18, 2007. I can't find the results. She's the Cal. councilwoman who learned she wasn't a citizen after she was elected. Her parents had told her she was since bringing her from Cuba when she was 9 months. She had voted illegally, but unknowingly, and pled to a misdemeanor. The feds came after her because that’s a deportable offense. A background check done for a job with the sheriff's dept. raised no issue about citizenship. She'd gone to Mexico and Canada several times with no problem. She has a social security card. It never crossed her mind to check her citizenship. In fact, in her case, if her parents had become naturalized before she turned 18, she’d be a citizen herself automatically without doing anything. They probably mistakenly believed she was. (Being born in another country does *NOT* mean you automatically aren't a US citizen.) Have you checked your citizenship? I haven't. So no hate replies, please.
Your thoughts on Illegal Immigration-Deportation or Legalization?
Law enforcement -- they will stop coming illegally and most will leave of their own accord at their expense if we strictly enforce the immigration laws already on the books. In fact, with an Executive Order giving illegals 30 days to depart with their dependents before being rounded up and deported and their money and assets confiscated to pay for their deportation, they would start leaving immediately. Also ban any "change of status" application from illegals and those on non-immigration visas (tourist, student, temporary worker, etc) as these are basically various forms of immigration fraud; that would eliminate a substantial portion of the backlog at immigration offices. After 30 days, round them up, confiscate whatever money and assets they have to cover the costs of law enforcement actions, and deport them. We have plenty of unemployed and under-employed US citizens to fill those jobs, and mechanization in the fields would be more cost-effective and eliminate the need for half of all ag workers. And we could cut our taxes by at least 10% as we eliminated immigration-law violators from schools, subsidized housing, jails, welfare rolls, their unpaid medical care, etc. Eliminating immigration-law violators will save us a trillion dollars a year in lost wages, unpaid taxes, remittances (which are just dollars siphoned out of our economy), education expenses, and much, much more. We did it before -- deported over 3 million during the Eisenhower Administration. And more quickly left of their own accord at their own expense. We can do it again.
Why should immigrants be deported?
The premises of the question incite to give an absolute moral opinion, as it was a clear black-and-white issue. You’ll elicit simple answers like “Because illegal immigrants don’t respect the immigration law”. That’s tautological. This fact isn’t enough to justify the deportation of people. It really depends on the specific situation you’re talking about.Take a Russian guy who is in France illegally. He’s in a relationship with a political refugee who has been living legally in France for 15 years. They’ll soon have a baby. Is it a good idea to deport the husband to Russia? Or is it a better idea to give him proper visa documentation, so they can bring up their baby together?The purpose of deportation is to enforce the immigration policy of a country. Your question, like a lot of questions about illegal immigration, implies another question: “What is a relevant immigration policy?”.Personally, I say one which is not based on political calculation to please racist voters, but based on fairness and respect of people who want to find their place in a new country. Those who don’t want to find their place here should be deported indeed, but as a last resort. It must be done in a spirit of fairness and with a due legal process. Beware of stereotypes and snap judgments.
How long does it take for a immigrant to be deported?
It can be that same day or months (sometimes years) down the road. Depends on location, crimes committed, how many times they have already been deported and under what circumstance, and if they are fighting deportation. Generally, it's 90 days.
How will Americans benefit from the deportation of illegal immigrants back to Mexico?
Americans will benefit from the deportation of undocumented immigrants back to Mexico in the following ways:They will benefit from gains in demand for labor as more job positions open up. Just don’t be surprised when a lot of these positions are not the type of job you were hoping for.They will benefit from less crowded classrooms in schools, meaning that teachers will have more time to dedicate to each individual student.They will benefit from decreases in welfare benefits and the costs of other public programs used by family members of undocumented immigrants, particularly if these family members are children born in the U.S. and leave with their family so as to not be separated from their parents.That is all I can think of of.It is my opinion, and that of many others here on Quora and elsewhere, that the benefits will be outweighed by the consequences of deporting undocumented immigrants back to Mexico. But that is the topic of another question entirely.
