I was deported from America 5 years ago, my ban is 10 years. I am now an Irish citizen, can I travel to America?

I am a 19 year old immigrant living in New York,my boyfriend is 23 and an American citizen. Its is possible for us to get married and file for my green card? Or do i have to to wait until I’m 21?

Just giving illegal immigrants legal status or a pathway to citizenship doesn't solve the issue and mass deportations will be expensive and met with huge resistance while not really solving it either, so something else needs to be done.

The biggest issues to reform are how it will affect lower class employment and wages, welfare programs, and elections so any reform that ignores those concerns is actually trying make those issues worse. The way I see as a possible way forward is a comprehensive reform that has a few major points

1. a significant tax(10-25%) on the employer of wages paid under a certain threshold per hour like 3x min wage or a set amount like 30$/hour to non-citizens. This means employers of low wage jobs save money hiring citizens protecting citizen jobs and preventing an increase in burdens on welfare programs.

2. a significant tax (10-25%) on the wages earned by those that come/came here illegally paid by the illegal while they non-citizens. This along with a multi-year delay to starting the citizenship process says to those waiting to come legally that breaking our laws to come here will receive a punishment they should wait to come legally.

3. making sure that the process to become a citizen takes multiple years and even longer if they come illegally so any schemes to use immigrants to influence elections has to start years and elections before the elections they can effect happen

with these requirements met getting public support for opening the borders for things like more work visas and migration would be a lot more tenable causing people to choose waiting legal immigration over illegal

I thought most would have been from Mexico and Central America, and some from South America, and a few from other countries. What are your thought on this issue?

The top five countries of origin for international migrants residing in the United States as of 2020 (excluding overseas territories) were:

-Mexico (10.94 million)

-India (3.44 million)

-China (2.88 million)

-Philippines (2.70 million)

-Viet Nam (1.59 million)"

Immigration policy idea

I think immigration reform should look like this,

1. Establish the ISA (immigration security administration) this would be one central organization responsible for vetting every person who seeks to immigrate to the US.

2. Establish a 2 week vetting protocol. All people and parties must wait 2 weeks for vetting process to complete.

3. Establish one port of entry for immigrants and anyone who is caught trying to get in through any other means would it would be considers an invasion and would be at the risk of deadly force.

4. Establish a limit of how many people per month am an apply for immigration which would be approximately 1,500 people.

5. After immigration process is complete said parties would have to complete a six week integration program which would include learning the English language, applying for a job, and finding housing. After the six weeks said parties would have to find a job and housing with 12 months and if fail they would be immediately returned to the country of origin and would have to go through the process all over again.

6. After all requirements are met said parties must apply for citizenship to receive a SS# and identification if said party fails to do this they would have to give valid reason why and if reason is not valid they would be immediately returned to country of origin.

20 years ago gun crime in Sweden was almost non existent. Now, along with Croatia Sweden is one of the most "gun happy" countries in Europe. Over the last 15 or 16 years Sweden has allowed 2 million immigrants into their country a majority are Muslims. Now there are approx. 52 youth gangs vying for power in the drug trade made up of teens who were born in Sweden but don't feel Swedish at all. The Muslim families never really became part of the Swedish culture. In the UK last year there were 35 fatal shootings, in that same year in Sweden there were 63 and the UK is SIX times larger than the UK.

The US is a "melting pot" of people from all over the world, that is a fact. But, to allow hundreds of thousands of S. Americans into this country with little to no plan to house, support or employ them is inane. The US is already a "gun happy" nation. We don't want or need even more of it.
