welcome back!!!!!!

792 x 70% 554 what about the other 238.....homicide, theft, asault and battery, child molestation, pedophilia. what about pictures and names on the last two

Here we go again judging without knowing these people! Not all of them are horrible career criminals and felons. What about the ones falsely convicted? What about the ones whose only crime was catching their wife with another man and just lost it and stabbed the guy. Most of them are not murderers and child molesters. Did you know that just a 1 year sentence for permanent legal residents means almost certain deportation? It doesn't even have to be a serious crime or a felony. I think that US immigration is very unfair. They don't care if the legal resident has been here since childhood. Their only goal is to get rid of as many brown non-citizens as possible!!

Before Republikkklan senator Lamar Smith introduced the IIRIRA bill in 1996 the person had to be sentenced to 5 years in prison in order to be deported, but since then even a year in county jail means deportation and the LEGAL immigrants have fewer rights. The reason for this is that conservatives love to blame immigrants (legal and illegal) for everything in the US. The anti-latino immigrant rhetoric of the last few years is proof that they will do anything they can to prevent a non-white majority.

THAT IS KARMA. The DR gov. does the same to Haitian immigrants. Now your citizens knows how it feels. Don't cry for me Argentina.

Room1804: look at Your dear country "HAITI" and compare to "Dominican Republic

Haiti is falling apart as democracy, country and civilized place.

Once our President gets the help that your "wild" and "uncivilized" country needs hopefully We will able to get the monkeys off our backs.

This has nothing to do with Haiti.

These are Dominican drug dealers, pedophiles and murders,

You do not get extradited for stealing chewing gum from a 711.

Jimharrington=josean:

It does, read Your fellow countryman comments please (room1804).........

"These are Dominican drug dealers, pedophiles and murders,

You obviously have no idea why some people get extradited. A cousin of mine who was arrested for a street fight where no one was seriously injured in the mid 90s when he was 19 was nearly extradited a few years ago based on that incident. Mind you my cousin is an accomplished individual with strong ties to the states. He came here when he was a baby. If my cousin had been less savvy he would have easily been deported. I know of a young man who was deported because of statutory rape charges, this depite the fact that he was only a little under two years older than the girl (he was 19 at the time and she was 17. Even her parents asked immigration officials to drop all proceedings but to no avail) and has been an outstanding and hard working member of his community. Fact as it's not at all as clear. cut. and dry as you make it out to be.

cont'd
Some people just got caught up in bureacracy.

Come to america and take advantage of it. Get an education! And then you'll be paid in FULL. I'm tired of seing Dominicans come to this country to get money the fast way. Or Dominicans that belive that the justice system here is lax. Irresponsible Dominicans are giving honest dominicans a BAD name.

actually, Edward, the poster who suggested karma is right. at least in the USA, regardless of the final outcome, there is a process. you are entitled to a deportation hearing, and you are represented by counsel. if you cannot afford counsel, the state provides it . you have a chance of losing your appeal, but at least you get to have a say. in the DR, you are simply tossed into the back of a truck under cover of darkness, and hurled over the border, minus whatever meagre possessions you might have had, which inevitably end up in the pockets of some colonel or general. so , before you bleat on so unhappily about the injustices in the US, you might want to send an excoriating e-mail to the immigration chief in santo domingo, imploring him to revisit some of the medieval methodologies practised therein.

Dreadllocks:

Nobody is complaining about Dominicans getting deported from the US,

haitians always play the "Race" card for anything, don't twist the meaning of this blog.

"there is a process. you are entitled to a deportation hearing, and you are represented by counsel. if you cannot afford counsel, the state provides it . you have a chance of losing your appeal, but at least you get to have a say."

Actually resident aliens have none of those rights here in the states. The only thing that they are entitled to in a deportation hearing as far as the governmment is concerned is a translator. Resident aliens can be rounded up for no reason whatsoever, simply on a whim. They do not enjoy the same protection under the law that American citizens do. As a matter of fact there are many individuals being warehoused for years in immigration jails without having any idea as to what's transpiring in their specific case. It's a pretty bad situation.

Dread deals the slimy race card off the bottom of the deck once again

cibaeno, i am a little confused about your terminology. resident aliens ( i suspect you mean landed immigrants) cannot be rounded up on a whim, because they are legally admitted persons. people who are in the country illegally have always been rounded up in a whimsical fashion.the treatment, depending on the state, can range from civilised to barbaric. but there are processes in place, and, if one can marshall the support of legal assistance, the results can be favorable at times. and Rubirosa, please do not address me if you have nothing intelligent to say. you notify me that nobody is complaining about Dominicans being deported from the USA, at the same time i am responding to Edward from Massachussetts, who is bitterly complaining about american deportation policy. am i the illiterate, or is it you?

Goulet, shouldn´t you be out and about selling sheets and hoods?

"resident aliens ( i suspect you mean landed immigrants) cannot be rounded up on a whim"

I assure you dread that residents aliens can be rounded up on some immigration official's whim. They do not enjoy the same protection under the law as the average citizen. Look it up. It sounds unbelievable, doesn't it? But it's true.

cibaeno, when you say resident aliens, do you mean people with green cards?

Resident alien is correct having been one I know this to be the case landed immigrant is generally a Canadian term used for West indians or anyone else who came to Canada in The 60s and 70s with one way tickets this policy was done away with when they came to their senses

"cibaeno, when you say resident aliens, do you mean people with green cards?"

Yes. The correct name for a green card would be "Resident Alien Card". They haven't been green for some time.

resident alien is a green card holder and they are called resident aliens ...you are a lot confused ask your buddy the Caricom flunky

Goulet, any further pearls of wisdom from you regarding the assertion that slavery was a positive thing for africans? i notice that you have been conspicuously silent after i replied to you. i enjoy such radical points of view, and i suspect that this comes from a ku klux klan handbook. did you read that opinion in some text, or did you formulate that idea without help? to suggest that africans are better off today because of their period of misery at the hands of europe is strange , but i am sure you can offer some sort of academic defense for your postulate. lets hear it...

No you and your buddy Mugabe got it right ...I am surprised he gave you the day off...lets get back to the fact you know nothing about immigrating to any country ...your parents came to the USA and you have been complaining and whining ever since you were born there

Gouletcolonial:

Extremely good points buddy..............................

I have read idiotic things before, but the assertion that it is OK to stab someone if you catch your wife with him has to be the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Is it OK to rob from the church, because they have to much money, kill old people because they have lived long enough?
The truly frightening thing about this statement is that Edward doesn't know that what he is defending is wrong.

THE IDEA BEHIND. Is to deport as many as they can, no matter what is the crime. For example if you jump the bar in the subway to avoid paying, if catch and you are an illegal or legal immigrant (have your green card) you will be deported. Hitting a woman, stealing and went to jail, after leaving you get deportation, cheating with food stamps, be ready to fly. In some cases if you are a citizen you can lose your status and get deported. A good lawyer is no help. The idea is get rid as much as they can of people that can vote in the future in a general election, because immigrant are taking too much power in USA.

adrix as an immigrant I know you are not correct you are not correct.....your position ignores the history of this great country the USA.......... crime is a crime period .....live by the rules I knew what they were and so did everyone else who came from somewhere else and another thing adrix your lucky your parents got here.....so dont screw up and embarrass them

"your lucky your parents got here.....so dont screw up and embarrass them"

LOL...truer words have never been uttered by you goulet..what's a real shame though is that all the delinquents I know back in DR manage to somehow get visas. At the same time, all of the honest, hard working people I know in DR who try to come here rarely get visas..my cousin's a prime example. The girl would wake up every day at 4 AM in Baitoa to make it into Santiago to take her classes to return at 10 PM to study some more. Four years of this. Has a decent job in Santiago and managed to get an apartment there. Poor girl still can't get a visa even though she has close relatives here. Then I have another cousin who's a dirtbag and who's never contributed in a positive fashion to anything that I know of. Him they gave a visa to. I don't understand it.

the state department is known as old Foggy Bottom and that is what immigration falls under I immigrated from Canada in 1964 my wife from Colombia after we were married ...I experienced many nightmares dealing with them....good luck to your cousin it is worth the hard work as you well know

FOR dreadlocks, You are making a ridiculous case of a Haitian crossing the border and being returned the same way they came. All the process you mentioned in USA, it was before 9/11. Now the procedure is different, a good lawyer and a public lawyer are the same. Haitian are not taken to a court because none has paper of any kind, any identification. Our court system is not clear to handle the massive invasion of Haitian people, trying to escape violence, murder, and lack of work, food, education and any kind of opportunity. As a human being I understand these people, but not try to blame the Dominican Republic for your miseries and your situation, we are not responsible of your state of affairs. Why you and your friend gouletcolonial and josean, go back to Haiti and open a good school, so you can start doing something useful for your countrymen instead of criticize what happens in RD and his government?

adrix if you dont think assault is a serious crime let alone assault of women you will be coming back with the cuffs on pretty soon

Boy did everyone ever allow this fellow gouletcolonial to change the subject from Domincan drug dealers being repatriated to the DR to Haitians abuses.

Looks like this guy gouletcolonial is making the forum a forum for the Haitian situation.

Best to ignore idiots like gouletcolonial.

"Looks like this guy gouletcolonial is making the forum a forum for the Haitian situation."

goulet didn't even mention haiti in any of his posts on this thread...you're confusing him with another poster.

Jimharrington=josean=perception:

Gouletcolonial hasn't mentioned anything related to Your twisted comments..........

Besides He is my buddy.............

What is the fuss all about, re-read the post...NOTHING on their is about another nationality. They are taking about the Dominicans that have done wrong, have served their time & now are going home. The only thing anyone should be saying is "WELCOME BACK" & pray that they don't do what they did in NY in the Dominican Republic. There are enough crazy's in the street & enough thieves in government office.

this converstion can happen every wednesday as that is when they get the trip on aircon-dr. someone is/was guilty of something on that plane and probably have served time for it. all i want ..is give us the names of the serious offenders as outlined in my previous post. forget the druggies and the subway crashers,the street fight victims.
you go the usa for a better life,you know the rules, live by them!! do the crime, serve the time, go home

adrix, commit a crime in the USA and whoever you are, it has repercussions.if you are a green card holder, you will probably be deported, depending on the nature of the crime.they do not deport you for speeding tickets, for example. and, as far as future voters go, green card holders cannot vote in elections in the USA. not even Puerto Ricans, who are US citizens, can vote in general elections. they can vote in primaries, but not elections. i therefore have no idea what you are asserting when you link deportation with voting.

Thank you Dread

"not even Puerto Ricans, who are US citizens, can vote in general elections. they can vote in primaries, but not elections. "

I think you need to be somewhat more specific when making such a statement. Puerto Ricans cannot vote in a general election as long as they are residing on the island of Puerto Rico but if they live within the 50 states they can indeed vote in general elections.

Thank you Ciby

i stand corrected , cibaeno. hell ,dude, you sound like a State Department mole to me...

Makes you wonder if he's here to spy on us. LOL

"i stand corrected , cibaeno. hell ,dude, you sound like a State Department mole to me..."

LOL...ei diablo tampoco asi..

just kidding , cibaeno. but you sure know your stuff regarding immigration status in the usa. maybe you are an immigration lawyer....hmmmmm....

"just kidding , cibaeno. but you sure know your stuff regarding immigration status in the usa. maybe you are an immigration lawyer...."

I actually defended a loved one who had very little economic resources at the time in an INS deportation hearing and managed to get a ruling in our favor! I can honestly say that I've done battle with the federal government and won:) (and no I'm not a lawyer of any kind) It dragged on for several years and involved alot of staying up late at nights to conduct research but I did it. Suffice to say I gained a good grasp of immigration law.

hey man, if you have a mind as fertile as yours, you do not need to have a law degree to mount a formidable case in court. a man such as yourself could become a radioactive lawyer if he chooses to.

stop polishing the apple

have no fear, Goulet. i will not be lavishing any praise upon your intellectual wherewithal until you condescend to making an intelligent remark.

takes one to know one....no Mensa picnics for you without a doubt

really , Goulet; do you mean that it takes a dog to know a dog? where do you get those childish remarks from? are you still playing in sandboxes at your geriatric stage of life?

Pee Wee Herman reruns

Goulet, are you the same guy who posts in the forum? if you are, can you explain to me why it is that your offerings in the forum seem to have been made with some thought and pensiveness, while your responses here are indefensible gibberish?. are you here just to amuse yourself, or do you have an agenda to derail this project?. we now know that you can think somewhat, and even if your thoughts are mystifying, they can be debated. why don´t you stick to that format here?

Pee Wee Herman...hmmm....now i know where you got your adult movie theatre raincoat gambit.

i just want 2 know if theres a amount of years to wait before a person that got deported can try togoback to the usa, my mom spoke to a lawyer and he said i hadto wait five years and i like to know if anyone knows if this is true

well, most people that get it's there fault ..... Suck it up... I read an article about deportees bitching and moaning about being deported. No one told you to sell drugs, Touch Kids “you should be dead” rape or steal. You got your self into a problem, now accept the consequences

I think the lawyer is just trying to get your moms money sorry
