Nebraska immigration law passes - CNN.com (http://edition.cnn.com/2010/US/06/22/nebraska.immigration/)


(CNN) -- Voters in Fremont, Nebraska passed a much-debated immigration measure Monday that would prohibit businesses and landlords from hiring or renting to illegal immigrants.
The ordinance had divided the community and put the eastern Nebraskan city into national headlines.
A local organization decried the new ordinance on its website.
"It is with great disappointment and sadness that tonight we acknowledge a majority of Fremont voters approving this misguided ordinance," the group called One Fremont-One Future said. "In reality, the passage of this ordinance shows that we have much work to do in our community to educate, break down barriers, and build relationships."
The American Civil Liberties Union has indicated it will file a lawsuit.
Similar measures were passed in Hazelton, Pennsylvania, and Farmers Branch, Texas, but they were later struck down by the courts.
In Hazelton, voters in 2006 approved a measure to enact practically the same law that Fremont has voted to adopt. But in July 2007, a federal judge found that immigration laws should be left solely to the federal government.
In May of 2008, a federal judge ruled the Farmers Branch law, which would bar landlords from renting to illegal immigrants, was unconstitutional.
"Those ordinances did not withstand legal scrutiny. They both failed in the courts when they were challenged," said Laurel Marsh, executive director of Nebraska's ACLU.
The reason according to Marsh: Both laws violated the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy clause and the 14th Amendment.
In addition, she said it's the federal government's responsibility to set immigration policy and "we are not well-served when communities or states try to set policy on their own."
Gregory Minchak of the National League of Cities said that it's the lack of federal immigration policy that is causing these cities to take matters into their own hands.
"Because of the absence of the feds doing anything, there's a lot of financial, cultural, political strains that are occurring [in cities and states]," he said. "They are just starting to act on their own."

You should copy paste the post instead of link and forcing people to go to a website. I suggest you edit your post. Let people discuss here than on some other site.
This person is ROW and current. Only EB3 I know the pain of waiting.

Thanks !! My 140 is indeed pending. But I dont have plans to move to EAD now. I am moving to EAD only after my 140 is approved.

Its an old rule.

Next will be electronic monitoring. No more strip clubs guys.. no more.

I am looking for a cheap lawyer in Chicago area who will be willing to do basic paperwork for Canada immigration. Please suggest.

Just Google Credential evaluation services, you can find couple in your area.

I am planning to go to Canada for H1B visa stamping. Will there be any problem if i have company on H1B. I opened in 2003 and My friend is working in that company. I am working for my employer only. Will there be any problem if i have company either in GC stage or getting Visa in Canada.

Thx

As long as you are not working for your company, you are allowed to promote or finance a business venture. We have discussed this in another thread.

The Original Post said he was contracting for Federal Govt. It is possible to contract with most Depts on H-b, EAD , GC regardless of your immigration status.

It is not true, that it is not possible to work in Fed Govt on H1 or EAD. Hundreds of contractors work for the Federal govt in DC area who are on H1-Bs.

Regards

anobody? i really need your advice.

one will get GC awarded if he crosses border illegally and becomes a victim.
This is insane.

Thanks, Chandu.

Did you move to a different place or changed within the city where you currently live? I was reading an article yesterday and it said, if we move outside the area where we are currently located, it could trigger an RFE. I dont know how far its true.

Thanks!!

Hi,

My wife was pregnant when we did the July 2007 485 filing and now is being asked for the TB Test. It says X ray is mandatory on the letter from USCIS. The Immi DOctor said its really not and really depends on the skin test - so he will write and take care of that in the letter.

Next thing is that I am not with the same employer who I was with when I filed 485 in July 2007. Thus dont have an attorney any more. Do I need to send the response with a G28 form with no Attorney representation from now on OR do I just reply with no G28 form to indicate I no longer have Legal representation?

Whats the right way of handling this?

'Saw Fareed Zakaria mention the topic in GPS on Sunday.
Matt Frei questioned Eric Schmidt in BBC world news America yesterday. he responded it being one of the most stupid laws this country has ever had.

Smart ones are picking up - hopefully things will change over time.

Hi..

Need some urgent help here..

One of my friend is working for X employer on L1 Visa since 2007. He applied for H1B visa through Y company in 2008 quota, luckily he got it but never joined the company. Now his L1 visa is about to expire.

Question is

What will happen to his H1B visa after L1 visa renewal ?

Thanks in advance

I had contacted all the senators and house reps in New Mexico via their website and heard back from Senator Jeff Bingaman.

Please see his reply:

Thank you for your letter regarding relief measures to raise the quota of employment-based legal immigration visas. I appreciate your taking the time to write. I understand the important contributions made by high-skilled immigrant workers in our economy, and I will certainly keep your concerns in mind as we debate immigration reform in the 110 th Congress.

Again, thank you for writing. Please continue to keep me informed regarding this or any other issue of importance to you.

Sincerely,

JEFF BINGAMAN
United States Senator


Thanks for your efforts at raising awareness, here is one of the first instances where we did not get a standard letter talking about H1 back.

It is illegal to overstay on a visitors visa, for that matter it is illegal to stay on any expired visa.

Now because all embassies and consulates required to use PIMS to verify your H1B status... sometimes takes several weeks to get the passport stamped. In my case takes 3 weeks after interview to get my passport back (embassy at Lima, Peru).

So beware of the timing

I just bring a copy of my wife H1B approval and copy of lasts taxes ... just in case

My self and my wife both are on H1B. Both are working for different companies.

I filled I 485, EAD and AP through my company, for my self and my wife.

Questions:
1) I am the primary person. After getting the EAD, Is it possible, If my wife can open a consulting company with her name?

2) After opening a consulting company on her name, Is it possible, she can leave her H1B employer and run her own paystubs on her own company.

Your help will be really appreciated. :)
