I remind you
that the US House of Representatives last December voted for a very strong
immigration bill. It is named after its primary sponsors Sensenbrenner and
King. It mandates the criminilization of illegal residents and the people
who hire them, asking for large fines.
Now we are waiting
for the US Senate to pass some kind of immigration bill. The procedure in
the US government is that the House and Senate versions of legislation need to
be put together into a form that both can support and send to the President to
sign.

Priminsiu, kad JAV Kongreso Atstovø Rûmai, 2005 m. gruodþio mën. priëmë
gana grieþtà imigracijos projektà. Ðis projektas pavadintas jo autoriaus ir
pravedëjo Sensenbrenner vardu. Jame reikalaujama kriminalizuoti nelegalus, o jø
samdytojus, (ádarbinanèius) laikyti nusikaltëliais, taikant dideles baudas.
Dabar laukiama koká imigraciná projektà priims JAV Senatas. Tik viena þinome,
kad abiejø Rûmø projektai privalo bûti suderinti ir bendrai priimtini kad bûtø
galima pateikti JAV Prezidentui pasiraðyti kad taptø ástatymu. Gal bus
kreipiamasi ir á Aukðèiausià Teismà iðaiðkinimui ar ðis naujas ástatymas
neprieðtarauja Konstitucijai.
Ð. m. kovo 10 d. Èikagoje ávyko, dalyvaujant apie 100,000 miniai,
demonstracija, reikalaujanti leisti nelegalams toliau gyventi JAV-se ir
reikalauti pilietybës. Nemanau, jog bet kokia kita ðalis pasaulyje toleruotø
tokio tikslo demonstracijas. Prie ðios demonstracijos organizavimo prisidëjo visokio plauko ispaniðkai
kalbantieji rinktieji politikai. Dël balsø? Neatsiliko ir vietiniai “Honchos”, uþtardami nelegalus.
Tiktai dël balsø, nes nelegalø giminës- pilieèiai tai balsuoja.
Kyla klausimas ar Amerikos pilieèiai, nuvykæ á kità kraðtà, galëtø
taip nelegaliai gyventi ir dirbti? Neseniai lietuviðkoje spaudoje skaitëme
kaip, perilgai uþsilikusi Amerikos pilietë, lietuvaitë, Lietuvoje turëjo bëdø
iðvykstant. Reikalaujama buvo baudos ir visokiø paþymø. Lietuvoje tokie ávykiai
laikomi normaliais. Iðvykstant ið JAV niekas dëmesio nekreipia apie
neleistinà (per ilgà, virð vizoje nurodyto leistino laiko) uþsibuvimà.
Svarbu, kad iðvykstama.
Manau, jog aiðkiai matosi kokie vëjai puèia JAV Kongrese. Balsuotojai
reikalauja ið renkamø Atstovø aiðkiø pasisakymø apie nelegalià
imigracijà. Taip pat girdisi balsø, kad vieðose vietose ir valdiðkose ástaigose
bûtø naudojama vienintelë oficiali anglø kalba. Kodël ðalia anglø kalbos
valdiðkose ástaigose naudojamos ispanø ir dar lenkø kalbos? Gal ðiø kraðtø
þmonës maþiau iðsilavinæ arba þemesnës kultûros, kad jiems anglø kalba
neákandama? Kodël niekur valdiðkose ástaigose nepastebime uþraðø lietuviø
arba kitomis Europoje naudojamomis kalbomis?
Ar neprasidës “ðienapjûtë” þmonëms, kurie uþsiiminëja
“tiksliaisiais spëliojimais”?

I remind you
that the US House of Representatives last December voted for a very strong
immigration bill. It is named after its primary sponsors Sensenbrenner and
King. It mandates the criminilization of illegal residents and the people
who hire them, asking for large fines.
Now we are waiting
for the US Senate to pass some kind of immigration bill. The procedure in
the US government is that the House and Senate versions of legislation need to
be put together into a form that both can support and send to the President to
sign. The Supreme Court might also be asked to rule on the
constitutionality of any resulting law.
On Mar 10 there was a
big demonstration in Chicago of people demanding that the US government give
illegal residents the right to become citizens. I don't know any other
country in the world that would tolerate this kind of demonstration. Many
Spanish-speaking politicians had a part in organizing this demonstration, maybe
for their own political advantage. Local "honchos" supported
this idea too because they are worrying about attracting the votes of friends
and relatives of the illegal residents who are citizens and who can vote.
I have a
question. Would American citizens be able to go to another country to live
and work illegally? I read recently in a Lithuanian publication, how an
American citizen had a big problem leaving Lithuania because she had overstayed
her tourist visa. She was asked to pay fines and to provide all kinds of
documents. In Lithuania these things are considered normal. When
leaving the US, nobody pays any attention to whether or not you have overstayed
a visa. It only matters that you are leaving.
I think it is very
clear what kind of wind is blowing in the US Congress. Voters are asking
for very plain answers about illegal immigrants from their
representatives. Also there are voices asking in public places and
government offices to use only one official language, English. Why should
there be, next to English in government offices, Spanish and Polish? Maybe
people from these countries are less educated or have a lower culture so that
they cannot learn English. Why don't we see in any government office signs
in Lithuanian or other European languages?
