I've known him personally for 35 years. Good guy and a hard worker. He came to Texas illegally in 1989. We've worked together for a long time until he started his own lawn business several years ago. Now he's afraid to go do lawns because he says the mexican media that he listens to has him very scared.
Time to fire up the ol' Toro and Echo! These weeds ain't gonna cut themselves. If he came in 1989 he should have been sent back then. That was the problem with the Reagan amnesty. There were no better checks on the system as there was supposed to be after he allowed anyone that could prove to have lived in the US since 1982 to apply for citizenship. I've noticed that today's attempts are also not long lasting. How hard is that to understand. What can be done today can be undone by someone else. It needs to be looked at hard and make policy where it is hard to change once implemented.

We have illegals in the Cincinnati area that do roofing and lawn care everywhere... Here in E Tennessee not so much... We had a metal roof put on the house 5 years ago and not one hispanic... Our lawn guy doesn't employ any at all, he cuts 150-200 lawns a week... Now our little town population ~5000 has 5 mexican restaurants and two food trucks and they only employee mexicans...  And I agree, do it the right way or get the heck out... Dan A good rule of thumb is don't eat Mexican food made by white people Or skinny Mexican women. I like my Mexican women cooks to be as wide as they are tall.  words to live by!!

Depends on what country you’re coming from. When I was adjudicating citizenship applications, Mexico was a min of 10 years. Country don't matter, it's the visa that matters. Would you care to compare credentials? I’ll go first- 13 years as an Immigration officer with USCIS and DHS ICE. And you… I base it on reality Internet warrior at best… Wrong again, This is USCIS Immigration processing time from their website Form: N400 Application for Naturalization Form Category: Application for Naturalization Field Office of Service Center : Dallas It says 80% are completed within 7 months, this is USCIS figures not mine https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

Years ago I worked with a young lady from Mexico that was going to take the citizen test. I told her I could help prep her.
My question was: If the US and Mexico are playing soccer - who do you pull for? She answered very sheepishly - The US? I told her WRONG - the correct answer is We don't care about soccer in the US!!

I have personally helped 3 men obtain citizenship The process is ridiculous Dan Bongino's wife came from Columbia. He also said the process is horrible. I have know a handful trying to work through the process. There are piles of immigration lawyers in certain areas that charge these people unbelievable fees and basically do next to nothing other than keep them paying for years and years. yep

[quote=RedRanger][quote=butch sanders]I have personally helped 3 men obtain citizenship The process is ridiculous Naturalization is a piece of cake and easy as pie if you qualify Ask you a few questions that you already have the answers after a interview. You pass and go back for swearing in ceromony. Yes, the qualification and testing is easy, but in Texas, Arizona, Florida, and California the average time for the government to process your application is ten years. In other states.....I will guess Kentucky/etc, the wait time is shorter.......unless a government employee misfiles or loses your application.[/quot Yes, I had a green card for twenty years.....so I know how long it can take for the government to process applications. shebang

Pretty sure as long as he’s not a violent criminal or child molester he’s safe…. not true --- they just showed a violent illegal being arrested in Boston . Boston's sanctuary status released this guy ONE day before and ICE came in and arrested him today . The guy that was in the same room ---was an illegal without a criminal past --- and he's going back home with the other guy . I have ZERO sympathy for criminals and when you step foot in America illegally ---- GO HOME and apply legally . Trump should put together a bill --- that says if you are here illegally at all --- and we find you , we will take all your assets as payment for your crimes against America --- they would so fast
