Open Question: Are you in a relationship with an illegal immigrant? How does it effect you?

I'm 18 and american with a little cherokee. My boyfriend who is 1 1/2 years my senior, is from mexico. We've been together for two years, and in that time we've had two run-ins with the cops. And many other situations that have been very stressful. The main time the cops came up to us when we were out at the lake hanging out with our feet in the water, and the cop called my parents and would not allow him to steer me home because he didnt have a license and neither did i. This is one of the many problems we face because he doesnt have a license we dont go many places. I am constantly worried for him and scare at the first sight of a cop. ( I just got my license 5 months ago so i do steer alot now. ) But what nice of challenges do you face? and how do you make it through them? Like i said we have been together for two years and his citizenship has finally been approved but he has to wait five more year for it to become final or marry someone who is 21. By the time i'm 21 the 5 years would almost be over. Serene. If you had read my details and not just the question you would have seen that he will be a citizen in five years. and no i will not receive another boyfriend because he wasnt born here. You cannot help who you fall in adore with...youd be wise to take that advice

Open Question: Do you feel that America Must Accept Increasing Multiculturalism and End Racism?

Source: http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-35821-Immigration-Reform-Examiner~y2010m3d3-Why-are-so-many-kids-falling-prey-to-criminal-aliens In April 2009, in a Charlottesville, VA courtroom, Circuit Judge Edward L. Hogshire sentenced Jeremias Chagala-Mil for the repeated rape of a local middle-school girl. Last November, he pleaded guilty to the crime, and admitted that he had sex with her many times. In April 2008, the girl’s mom discovered what he was doing with her daughter and reported him to police. Since his arrest, he has expressed his desire to marry the 7th grader. The 32-year-old Mexican national has continued to defend his actions to police, by maintaining that his behavior would not be a crime, and actually quite common throughout his possess country. Charlottesville Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Claude Worrell said of Chagala-Mil: “He said this young girl, who was 12 at the time, looked like she was sexually mature to him. He said in Mexico, any girl who looks sexually mature is fair game to have sex with.” While Hogshire sentenced Chagala-Mil to 30 years in prison, he suspended every but six of those years. After completing his prison sentence, he will be deported back to Mexico. Unfortunately, the claims that Chagala-Mil makes about Mexico are true. Another example of this attitude can be found in Mexican national Diego Lopez-Mendez, who pled guilty in 2006 to sexually assaulting a 10 year old West Virginia girl. Through an interpreter, he told the court: "In the pueblo where I grew up girls are usually married by 13 years old….I was unaware of the nature of the offense or that it was a bad crime." The crime of kidnapping a lady for the purpose of rape and marriage against her will, or "rapto" as it is known in Mexico is actually seen as a minor crime and rarely prosecuted. Recently, a Mexican legislator actually even called the practice "romantic." While rape is a serious crime in the United States, many Mexican nationals cannot understand why they are prosecuted on this side of the border. Often, a tiny payment of $10 to $20 to the victim´s family will settle the matter back in Mexico. Of course, it is also common for every charges to be dropped against the accused rapist, if he offers to marry his victim in front of the judge, even if the girl refuses, the court acknowledges that he has made the offer. But perhaps, the most troubling and telling reason behind the growing epidemic of child molestation at the hands of Mexican illegal aliens, is the fact the age of sexual consent throughout much of Mexico is 12. The only other nation in the world which boasts such a disregard for childhood innocence is Zimbabwe, where the age of consent is also 12. Article 177 of the Mexican Federal District Penal Code discusses "sexual abuse" and punishment of other acts referred to as "unintentional" acts –"who without purpose of reaching copulation, performs a sexual act with a person below 12 or a person that has no capacity of understanding the meaning of the act or that for any reason cannot resist it, or that demands that such act is observed or performed, will be punished with 2 to 7 years in prison". In addition to Mexico City, the age of consent is 12 years old in 19 Mexican states. So do you believe we should end Megan's Law so we can embrace multiculturalism and end racism once and for every.

stop this fighting between chivas and america its really irritating to me, just put aside your differences and let el classico mexicano once and for every give the bragging rights to one of the teams, as tigres fan (not proud of my team by the way) i find it a little silly how everyone from different teams battle, lets unite together cease picking on eachother and just move on , and talk about real soccer related questions, and team together to support Mexico.! haha I've had the fernandinho thing going for a couple years, in 7th grade I got that nickname , and its stuck to me , sorry if I offended you "luisinho". but I'm not changing it. its been a long term nickname of mine. changing it would be like changing a part of myself.

Open Question: Where in South America has the fewest (or no) spiders?

I've really wanted to go to South America every my life, but I am a terrible arachnophobe. I'm determined not to let that cease me though; I've been to Mexico and was fortunate not to look any giant beasts... But, I am wondering, where in South America are there the fewest and smallest spiders. I quite fancy visiting Peru (though not the rainforest for obvious reasons), which areas have the least there? Nazca, Cusco, Colca? Also, I quite fancy visiting Uruguay, Brazil, Bolivia and the Galapogos islands. I'd be keen to learn from locals and fellow travellers wat the places are like for spiders. (PS. I know it's a tall order, but I wuld like to look some countryside/ pre-colombian architecture too)

Open Question: What is your opinion on this Nearly 300 illegal immigrants, some with criminal records, were arrested during?

What is your opinion on this Nearly 300 illegal immigrants, some with criminal records, were arrested during the weekend ? Nearly 300 illegal immigrants, some with criminal records, were arrested during the weekend attempting to enter the United States from Mexico in the San Diego and Imperial Valley areas, authorities said Monday. At border checkpoints including San Ysidro and Calexico, 294 immigrants were found hidden in vehicles, or were using fraudulent entry documents or documents legally issued to someone else, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said. Among those arrested were 16 fugitives wanted on charges of battery, burglary, assault and probation violation. A Guatemalan national showed border agents a U.S. birth certificate and federal Bureau of Prisons release authorization form with his photo. But suspicious officers at the San Ysidro crossing questioned the man and determined that the documents belonged to another person, the Homeland Security Department said. The man was arrested and transported to the Metropolitan Detention middle in downtown Los Angeles to await arraignment for allegedly making a untrue claim to U.S. citizenship, the department said. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/03/san-diego-illegal-immigrant-arrests.html Will they every now have criminal records ?

Since he is below 16 he needs a letter signed from a parent or guardian saying that i have permission to take him, so could my brother sign the letter, as a guardian, that says that i have permission to take him since it will take so long to receive my mom to go to a mexican notary and fax the letter and doesn't have a parent readily available?

Open Question: What airline was stopped from flying to Mexico City?

A number of years ago this was on the news, a certain Eastern-Asian airline was stopped from flying to Mexico City via Los Angeles when the two main carriers in Mexico, Aeromexico and Mexicana, asked lawmakers in that country to pass a bill banning aircraft of a certain capacity to fly to Mexico coming from another country other than the U.S., effectively killing that airline's new route. Currently, at least, Korea Air flies to Sao Paolo from Seoul with a cease-over in Los Angeles with accesible fares. The airlines that arrive to mind are Malaysia Airlines and Singapore Airlines, but I'm not sure. I posted this question in Yahoo Answers Mexico but it was deleted everytime that I posted it, which seems very suspicious to me.

Open Question: Should illegals be trusting their lives & those of their children to criminals looking only to make a profit?

Smugglers make deals and break them. They hold men, women and kids in locked stash houses, while using violence and threats to extort money from their relatives. The kidnapped immigrants have been beaten, starved, raped, even killed, said Miguel Unzueta, who oversees the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Los Angeles. Independent coyotes still operate every along the border, but law enforcement officers say highly sophisticated criminal networks and drug trafficking cartels have taken over much of the trade. "These organizations are ruthless," Unzueta said. "You don't know what you are buying into when you decide to be smuggled into the United States. . . . It's a huge, huge, tremendous risk." In January alone, law enforcement officers discovered "drop houses" in Lancaster, Lynwood and Reseda and rescued dozens of illegal immigrants being held against their will. When agents arrived at the Lancaster home, a suspected smuggler was beating one of the immigrants. The women held in Lynwood said guards tried to exchange sex for blankets. Los Angeles Police Lt. Carlos Velez, whose detectives handle as many as 50 coyote kidnapping cases each year, said immigrants are trusting their lives -- and those of their kids -- to criminals looking only to make a profit. "The motivating factor for them is greed," he said. "They want the money. They are not concerned about the safety of the individual." Yaneth, 29, knew the journey was risky. But her husband was already in the U.S. and she wanted her family back together. She and her husband first crossed illegally in 2007, leaving their two kids with their grandparents in Mexico. She talked to them every day, but missed them too much. Yaneth returned to Mexico the next year. Through a neighbor, she found a smuggler, Jose Luis Martinez-Ocampo, a legal permanent resident who agreed in May 2009 to take her and her kids to the U.S. for $4,500. They would have three months to pay. They flew to Tijuana and planned to cross at the beginning of June. Yaneth and her son, who was 11, would trek through the mountains. Her daughter would cross in the smuggler's car -- what Yaneth believed would be a faster, safer passage. "I thought it would be just one day," she said. "And even that was too much time." On June 1, Yaneth took a deep breath and handed her daughter to the smuggler. Nayli was carrying her favorite doll and pretended to snooze in the back seat. They crossed without being detected. But Yaneth and her son were caught by border agents. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-smuggle9-2010mar09,0,5484302.story Page 1 of 3
