Tom Matzzie, the Washington director of the liberal activist group MoveOn.org (http://moveon.org/) Political Action, boasted that his antiwar coalition raised more than $5.6 million for a full-throttle campaign to crack GOP support for the war. The targets have been chosen: the 15 Republicans who voted for the nonbinding resolution against the troop buildup but against the war spending bill; 25 others -- the "party before country" caucus, as Matzzie called them -- who have spoken against the war but voted with the president; and the "squealers," Republicans who can expect tough races in 2008 regardless of the war.

After calling US born children of illegal immigrants as "anchor babies", and family immigration as "chain migration", our friends at the anti-immigrant NumbersUSA have a new term for skilled immigrants, you guessed it "anchor immigrant".
They are again using their scare tactics to influence congress to drop its support for HR 5882.
Calling all EB3 guys, Eb2 IND guys with PD after Aug 06, and others with PD retrogressed, its in your sef-interest to call your members of congress to seek their support for this legislation, and to contribute to IV. There will be no relief for a while if this fails.

IT TAKES A VILLAGE -- Chain Migration Puts Nearly Everybody In Line To Overwhelm U.S. Communities
By Roy Beck, Monday, August 18, 2008, 12:50 AM
As soon as we take a single skilled immigrant from a developing nation, around 17 different families may be put in line to follow because of our reckless Chain Migration policies.
Our immigration policies literally "take a village" every time a new Anchor Immigrant is admitted to this country.
Fortunately, our immigration policies do have a few boundaries and delays that keep the whole village from entering our U.S. communities immediately. But every one of the members of those 17 families begins to consider future immigration to the U.S. as an entitlement. And because of that, millions don't wait for their turn, instead settling in the U.S. illegally to wait for the greencard that they believe is rightfully theirs.
THE 'ANCHOR IMMIGRANT'
Our U.S. population is exploding -- consigning more and more of us to heavily congested, heavily regulated lives -- because of high immigration numbers, which have snowballed because Congress insists on continuing Chain Migration.
Because of Chain Migration, every immigrant we allow into the country because he/she brings a special skill, education or experience becomes an Anchor Immigrant.
That is, if officials determine that an employer can't find an American to fill a job and allow the importation of a foreign worker, that worker becomes an anchor in the U.S. for vast numbers of other people from his/her home country.
One problem for the United States is that only the Anchor Immigrant is supposed to be picked on the basis of serving the national interest.
All the other immigrants attached to that Anchor through Chain Migration get to come without any regard whatsoever to their education, skill or humanitarian need.
ONE ANCHOR CONNECTS TO 17 FAMILIES
My "17-Family Chain-Migration Village" example is not close to the worst possible scenario but it is a nightmare that is not uncommon.
Here's the scenario:
Consider a typical Anchor Immigrant who comes from a developing nation and has three adult siblings. All of them come from one family. As soon as the Anchor Immigrant is accepted, all those siblings know that the Anchor Immigrant can put them in line for immigration once he/she becomes a U.S. citizen. Mentally, that one whole family is now in line to come to America.
But there are many more families who mentally get in line, too. The Anchor's spouse, plus each of those three siblings' spouses will be eligible. That makes five families now in line (the original plus the families of the four spouses).
In every one of those families are their own siblings, minor children, parents, etc. This is getting to be quite a crowd of people who suddenly see their future as possibly being in the U.S. That makes five families involved now (the original and the four spouses' families).
Now, consider the siblings of those four spouses. That would be 3 siblings multiplied by the 4 spouses, equalling 12 more adults, all of whom potentially have their own spouses! Potentially, each of those 12 spouses of the siblings of the spouses of the Anchor's siblings is from a different family.
Now, you have those 12 families, plus the Anchor's family, plus the families of the four spouses of the three siblings of the Anchor. That potentially adds up to 17 families that immediately can know that they are in a chain that eventually can have a chance to immigrate to America. And all of that happens the minute our government decides to give a permanent work permit to a single foreign worker.
An Anchor Immigrant immediately creates chains of expectation into possibly 17 different families.
You can imagine how a village or urban neighborhood can quickly have most of its residents seeing that their future is in the United States. Not only does this build huge pressures for more migration and more population growth in the U.S. but it saps whole villages and neighborhoods of the will for self-improvement.
Why will people pour themselves into bettering their own communities when they believe their future lies living in America? And, of course, the chain migration does not end with those 17 families. Our rules are set up so that every Chain Immigrant also becomes an Anchor Immigrant, making it possible for every relative to get in line to come to the U.S.
The only solution is to end the Chain Migration categories entirely. (See our pages on the legislative solutions.) That means limiting each Anchor Immigrant to bringing a spouse and minor children. No adult children, siblings or parents.
The Anchor Immigrant can easily visit his/her relatives annually (or more often) and can be in constant communication by phone, internet and postal mail. Chain categories must be ended if we are to avoid the nightmare of 439 million U.S. population in 2050 as projected by the Census Bureau.
CONGRESS THREATENING TO ADD 550,000 MORE 'ANCHOR IMMIGRANTS' NEXT YEAR
Sen. Menendez of New Jersey is blocking the re-authorization of E-Verify (to keep illegal aliens out of jobs) until Congress agrees to add 550,000 additional Anchor Immigrants next year.
At the moment, the leadership of both Senate and House are seriously considering trying to pass the 550,000 increase in Anchor Immigrants.
Powerful media like the Los Angeles Times and New York Times are lobbying hard for more Anchor Immigrants.
Unless the American people themselves become fully aware of the dangers of Chain Migration and the concept of the "17-Family Chain-Migration Village," the Big Business and Big Media lobbyists are likely to multiply the chain migration nightmare many times again.
Make sure you have gone to your NumbersUSA Action Buffet and sent all your free faxes to push your Members of Congress to stop Sen. Menendez and to eliminate Chain Migration.
Except the native Americans all are "Anchor Immigrants" who became citizens later. The guys in Number USA are also from the same family tree. So let us just do not pay attention to all these b***s*** and waste our time.

Recently I returned after a one month trip to India. At DC airport the CBP secondary inspection officer grilled us rough. First he called my wife and asked why did we leave US. She told that since my parents are old and not in good health we visited them. Then he started asking for documents proving it. And told us that without documents he won't let us enter. He went on to say that AP is only on humanitarian basis and unless CBP officer is satisfied with proof they cannot allow AP holder to enter. Finally after convincing him for another 30 min he let us in.
This was a really shocking experience. Are employment based GC's AP supposed to be treated like humanitarian AP? or was the CBP officer over reacting? Gurus please throw some light.
I have used AP at least 4 times this year while coming back from Europe,India.I came through New York(JFK),Newark(EWR). Only once I was asked a question about whether I have EAD. The officer didn't even see it,otherwise the only exchage with any other officer was 'Here are your documents.Have a nice day'.
I think you might have been a one off case where the officer didnt know what he was doing.

I agree with you, i think he is in deep s.... and the whole trying to type broken English thing is also fishy (in my opinion its on purpose)!
This guy has been in the country for more then 3 years (at least - based on his h1 being valid till 2011 which means recently extended)) on a work visa and cannot communicate a simple fact that they were fooling around and he didnt intend any harm (if that is the fact).... HE must be really really good at what he does at work for his company to keep him!
But to give the benefit of the doubt and innocent until proven guilty - I wish him luck!
I really hope i m wrong in judging you... and seriously I wish you all the best if you are being honest about the whole thing.
Thats what I noticed when i read his post first time....this broken English seems to be on purpose.....by the way r u from India terriblething?

People with grown up kids, I guess would prefer Canada over India. There are many problems starting with the education system, reservations etc. For kids who had been studying here from KG through grade 8-9 it's difficult to get dragged in the rat race in India, especially for normal kids who don't belong to any reservation category.
Yes in Canada we know that finding a job is going to be difficult and we should brain-storm about how to tackle this problem?
What skillsets are in demand? Anybody has idea?
I also have a wild idea like US companies may look at Canada as a outsourcing destination if given very competitive package. One of the biggest advantage will be proximity to the US, so better control over quality etc. That may not turn into a big boom but is a possibility.
I think the said "outsourcing" is already happening to a limited degree .. in fact many IT jobs in Canada are nothing but canadian offices of US firms. But it is never going to reach the extent of India or China, mainly because the savings in terms of cost are not as big.
The biggest problem I find with the canadian job market is limited demand for highly specialized IT skills .. so finding any job will not be a problem; but finding one commensurate with your qualifications and experience will be hard.Secondly, there are fewer tech centers than the US .. so one cannot afford to be too fussy about location etc. As far as I know, only Toronto and surrounding areas in Ontario would qualify as a "tech hub" in the US sense.

You are correct. The rules must have changed recently. I wonder what made them make that change, Now children of US citizens (who were once Indian citizens) have an advantage over children who has both parents as Indian citizens. Weird.. isn't it?
I don't think that the rules are unfair. If both parents are Indian citizens, then the child is eligible for primary citizenship of India. Hence how can he be allowed to take OCI when he infact can get primary citizenship? Also the rules are created with rules for all countries in mind not just USA and also they are intended to protect those who lived in India, paid taxes in India and these rules are to protect interests of children born in India.
I live in US with my wife, we dont have any kids and yes I am in race for GC. But I also know a few couples who applied for US passport for their kids, went back to India, got their kids educated at Indian Citizen's fee schedule in general quota and then sent their kids to US back with citizenship of US.
So..... didnt this put Indian kids born in India at disadvantage?

I agree with jonty and nixtor...that was the point I put out as a counter during our discussion. But the underlying sense is similar to what is there for illegal immigration: border fence. Humanitarian grounds is not an excuse you could use it with Congress men and women. Revamping Maths and Science in US schools is the exact justification against highskilled_immigration. Just like the border fence for illegal immigration, I wonder the issue in waiting against our efforts for fixing retrogression of highskilled immigration would be 'Show US born could start their training and educaction first' ...
Again, my visa number too is retrogressed too and I am not doing a kaka here to throw water on flames of enthusiasm but reporting my followup with some loud-noise-makers in DC.. The posting was infact to show what we are against and how much we all need to do.
Training and educating who doesnt have the background takes yrs. Businesses cannot afford to wait that long time. I feel that Jim Austin didnt address your question but asked you another question. Maths and Science are the 2 subjects US citizens need to pick up right from school. There is nothing much any one can do to change it night over night.

I have pledged on the funding drive thread to pay $20 monthly through paypal (I have also made one time contribution to the fund drive).
I am writing this to encourage others to send their monthly payment through paypal for amounts less than $50 if you want to. Monthly payments help plan things better for IV.
Question to the core, if you feel $20 per month through paypal is too much overhead for IV, I can collect my monthly payments and make onetime contributions instead. Its minimal effort for me either way, really.

The way USCIS functions, I would rather see the movement of the dates back rather than forward...why?
This is the time when USCIS actually TRIES to follow FIFO: meaning tries to work on old cases. Last quarter is usually a mess and approval pattern goes to TB to BB (top of the box to bottom of the box).
So, It is a actually a good thing, if PD stays there or moves back; that will make USCIS work on approving older cases at this time.
It is also a good sign that DOS mentioned that "they are waiting from USCIS for pending numbers": that means, they actually asked for those!!!!!! AND USCIS is working on it (or atleast told them so). This has been the crux of all the visa number movements including random approvals. If this is sorted out somehow, it will be a great deal of improvement in implementing FIFO system to some extent. If USCIS gives that info to DOS, there will be someone (DOS) to ask USCIS: WHY DO YOU NEED TO MOVE PD FORWARD TO 2008 WHILE YOU HAVE SO MANY THOUSANDS OF CASES FROM 2000-2005 PENDING??
Unfortunately, they now will not have any excuses (with security check and name check moving towards "current": thanks to FBI), they WILL have to increase their efficiency in processing the cases!:)

So, It is a actually a good thing, if PD stays there or moves back; that will make USCIS work on approving older cases at this time.
It is also a good sign that DOS mentioned that "they are waiting from USCIS for pending numbers": that means, they actually asked for those!!!!!! AND USCIS is working on it (or atleast told them so). This has been the crux of all the visa number movements including random approvals. If this is sorted out somehow, it will be a great deal of improvement in implementing FIFO system to some extent. If USCIS gives that info to DOS, there will be someone (DOS) to ask USCIS: WHY DO YOU NEED TO MOVE PD FORWARD TO 2008 WHILE YOU HAVE SO MANY THOUSANDS OF CASES FROM 2000-2005 PENDING??
Unfortunately, they now will not have any excuses (with security check and name check moving towards "current": thanks to FBI), they WILL have to increase their efficiency in processing the cases!:)

How about not resigning 'officiallly', but taking another job?
Most of us work for consulting companies, if we stay with the sponsoring employer for 3-4 months, then go on leave(paid/unpaid), and then 'come back' and ask for work/project.... they might not have a project just ready to take you in. In that case they may ask you to resign or else they'll have to pay you (they can't keep you on bench anymore...) or they may fire you..
Are you any safer if the employer fires you?
OR something along these lines...

Sukekha.com is the most visited website for INDIANS in NORTHEAST....for all classifields. Would it be very expensive to put up some banners in LEADING indian websites where lot of INDIAN IT people visit.
