Children of Illegal Aliens in the United States?
I go to a school that has a particularly large amount of immigrants from latin America, more specifically, the majority are of Mexican descent. Most of said immigrants live in poverty, and receive much assistance from the school (reduced price lunches, etc.). My question is, because schools are required to serve students, legal or not, how much money is spent annually on aid for them? Is it a large burden on the school, as, those who are not citizens, do not necessarily pay the same taxes as those who are legal? Also, there is a fair number of students whose parents are illegal, but they themselves are legal. Does this make the student eligible to receive anything more than if they were, as their parents, illegal? I would appreciate sources Thanks, -Jonathan I have been informed by ("illegal") classmates, that they receive payment in cash and only cash. So even with a social security number, are they exempt from taxes?

The Federal Government refuses to tally those expenses. I would agree it is a lot, and some of the kids are from families with multiple I.D.s, and they don't really need those lunches. In any case, none of the figures I have seen include that expense.
2 :
whether they are legal or illegal like their parents they would still get state welfare.some people will claim this is not true but it is because the state government can not discriminate based on legal status.i'm not sure that the true amount of money they cost the US can ever fully be known but i know it costs every legal citizen a lot.
3 :
illegal or not kids always get treated the same.But mexico is a great country if they would just get up and clean it up.My sister visited there and that is what she told me.
4 :
In California I believe they said the cost to the State was about NINE BILLION dollars. (This also include the cost of incarceration, as many illegals are jailed for violent crime in California) This is one of the primary reasons California is going bankrupt.(there are other reasons too) You can only imagine how huge the cost is in total to the entire United States. (I don't have any information on the rest of your question)

Tough question, a matter of whats fair and human decency On one hand is it fair to tax me to support all these people and there children, when i myself cant afford to have children and raise them in a good surroundings. Is it also fair that these people came here of there own will illegally, perhaps work and receive a less than fair wage because they are illegal, and raise there children in poverty here instead of there own country. Its difficult, i certainly would never enjoy a child to go hungry or not go with out medical attention if really needed, just because they are illegal, But is it fair to place there burden upon us?

Illegal immigration is bad by definition. I say it that way because there is one thing that many people do not understand about it. Have you ever asked yourself why the federal government allows it to continue? Why do they make half-hearted attempts to stop it? By the way, have you ever noticed that all you need to do is drive for about 45 min to an hour and the theory that we are overpopulated kind of just dies (this is true no matter what city you live in in the world). Resources are only scarace becasue of poor administration of them by those who get rich from them. Because the USA wants the children of illegals...its called tacit approval of illegal immigration. The USA clothes, feeds, and educates these children and basically makes them AMERICAN. Why? well, Americans are not having enough children to keep the population of the USA growing at a fast enough rate and legal immigration has too many hurdles to make it practical for this purpose. So...lets all share the cost and pay to make new Americans (who cares that they don't come from US citizens). edit: ok ok, its just a conspiricy theory...but come on, the most powerful country in the world cant protect is borders from some of the most unsophisticated people in the world? Something just don't smell right here.
7 :
School districts get some funding from property tax. If the child's family lives within the school distict's limits their property tax is funding the school district. Also many illegal's still have social security and federal and state tax removed from their paychecks. They also can never collect the social security. With a TIP(tax identifacation Pinumber) the illegal can still file their tax returns.

Some clarification. A work visa is file on an I-129 Form. The I-140 is for IMMIGRANT visa petition for alien worker. Your US citizen girl friend you fell in love with in Texas can help you two ways. She can (1) get an employer who would be willing, able to sponsor you on an H-1B visa specialty occupation based on your education and experience. Then when in the US, the same employer could sponsor you as an immigrant for the same occupation, this time on the Form I-140 immigrant visa petition form. The waiting period for the EB3 - for professionals and skilled workers - is about 5-6 years, about the same time that your H-1B would have reached its maximum duration. (2) Marry you. Then you can apply for adjustment of status (on Form I-485) based on a concurrently filed I-130 petition by a US spouse. You can also file the I-765 employment authorization form so that you can get to work. The unemployment rate in the US remains slightly above 9% so not too many US employers will sponsor a foreign worker. The fact that the 65,000 H-1B quota was reached only recently -as opposed to the quota being filled in a day or two 3 years ago - is a testament to the tight job situation - especially for sponsorships. Good luck and good day to you and your girl friend.

Not going to happen, unless you want to wait 5 years. Or you could get a fiancee visa, and go over there in 8 months or so, but you would have to marry your gf within 90 days of coming over.
4 :
you having a bachelors degree doesn't mean anything to the USA, sorry. They have PLENTY of people with BAs, MScs, and PhDs looking for jobs, and they will hire an American before hiring you. I am immigrating to the US on a fiancee visa, which sounds like your only shot. otherwise, forget about it. It's not an option? Then get used to not living in the states.

Pick a visa There are basically NINE ways that you can get a visa to live and work in the US: (1) Marriage (or engagement in anticipation of marriage) to a US citizen. (2) You have skills that are in short supply in the US e.g. scientific or medical training. A degree is normally a must. Or you have superior specialist skills with at least 12 years experience. (H visas) (3) You have an Employer who is willing to transfer you - but even the employer has to make a good case for you - so you have to be a manager unless you fall under category (2) above.(L visas) (4) You may get a Green card in the diversity lottery (UK citizens, except N.Ireland, are not generally eligible unless you, your spouse or parents were born abroad or held a different citizenship. (5)You own or buy business (does not get you permanent resident status i.e. no green card)You must be a national of a qualifying Treaty countries. The business must have a minimum value of around $150k (more the better) bearing in mind you will need somewhere to live and with any startup business you will need at least 2 years living money as back up. So a figure of $350k would be a nearer minimum (E-2 visas) (6)You are an "investor" i.e. you have at least US $1m in assets to bring with you. half of that in a few areas. And your background will be investigated to the hilt. (EB-5 visas) (7)You have a close relative (mother, father, brother, sister and no further) who is an US citizen who would sponsor you, approx time this take 2-12 years? (8.The R1 visa is available to foreign members of religious denominations, having bona fide non-profit religious organizations in the U.S., for entering the U.S. to carry on the activities of a minister or religious worker as a profession, occupation or vocation (9)THE UNUSUAL You are in a position to claim refugee status/political asylum. or You get a member of Congress to sponsor a private bill with legislation that applies just to you. The S visa issued to persons who assist US law enforcement to investigate and prosecute crimes and terrorist activities such as money laundering and organized crime Recruitment agent will not take you seriously if you are not already in the US. Writing for jobs is really a waste of time; likewise US employers have no idea what foreign qualification are or mean (except Degrees) it may pay you to get your qualification translated into a US equivalent, there are Companies that do this (www.wes.org) .. But if you are getting a visa under (2) above then you need a job offer before you can get the visa. Your Employer will be your sponsor this will cost them upward of $5k. So you can see you have to be offering something really special to get considered They may also have to prove to the Dept of labor that there is no American who can do the job if the position is to be permanent ©

why are some anime's released in the united states and not dubbed in english?
why are some anime's released in the united states and not dubbed in english?
i don't buy anime that is not dubbed in english primarily because i can't speak japanese i will learn japanese one day mostly to watch anime that is only in japanese but i can't find logic in not dubbing an anime in english there are not that many people in america that speak japanese fluently i find it kind of lazy of them to not dub it it seems like they wanted to make money without doing the work but i could be wrong it could be a japanese company licensing it in america which would make sense that they wouldn't dub it. i know a lot of american anime fans like to watch anime in japanese but i also know they like to watch the english dub first so they can get a understanding of the story because when your watching anime in a language you don't understand you have to use subtitles and with subtitles it's either you look at the subtitles and have no idea what's going on or you look at the screen and see very little of the subtitles. so anyways what is the reason they release some anime's in america without dubbing it first. i could understand if they were to dub it in spanish because a lot of american's speak spanish

Because the company that licensed it believed they could sell the anime for more profit in Japanese with English subtitles instead of dubbing it, or the company didn't have enough money to actually dub it.
2 :
The reason is simple, money. Releasing a movie with subtitles costs a fraction of a release dubbed in English. I actually prefer subtitles, for some reason I get a better feel for the spirit of the film when I watch it in the native language.

Could legalizing marijuana lower gun violence in the United States?
Could legalizing marijuana lower gun violence in the United States?
I am a huge supporter of the 2nd Amendment, and i am also very much for legalization of marijuana. America has about 10000 gun crimes each year, is it because of my AK 47, of course not, that is absurd. It is because of the huge amount of drugs on the street, which leads to the animosity between gangs. Most of the money used to buy these hardcore expensive drugs, comes from the most used illicit drug in this country, marijuana. By taking this away from drug dealers they will not be able to spend money on expensive drugs, and that it there only way of making money to buy illegal drugs. Am i saying that this will stop hardcore drug use and gun violence, of course not, but it will however make the drugs and guns much harder to get. But my question to you is, do you think legalizing weed could have a large impact on gun violence, and har drugs? If so, why would any sensible person be against the legalization of weed? Remember the drug business is just like an ecosystem. Say you take grass out of nature, many species would go extinct. Marijuana enables dealers to buy other drugsand guns. Also, if you know anything about drug dealing and drugs, you know you don't just start selling crack and cocaine.

Yes. <sarcasm alert> Think of all of the shootings that occur over purchasing legal substances like milk, bread, cigarettes, and beer. The papers are FULL of milk violence. Chocolate milk gangs are among the most violent. Almost every day we hear of a couple of people being gunned down, when a back-alley bread buy goes wrong.
