President Bush often says, “We want to cut down the frivolous lawsuits.” But apparently, that is a measure against the lawful citizens. Part of the Immigration reform should be to eliminate the frivolous lawsuits and filings in the appellate court. The president is unaware the illegal immigrants are allowed to have merit-less filings and to smother the process of the Federal Appellate courts system. He means the normal citizens lawsuits, but he is unaware the dysfunctional immigration office which inundated with piles of long waits for the illegal immigrants’ lawsuits. I know this problem firsthand, when I was a law intern in the university for an attorney professor, and worked as an interpreter for the field work assignment to help out the immigrants to their court date, each judge was evaluating the case on an individual basis. Unfortunately this has become a way for the illegal immigrants to apply this filing as a way to dodge immediate deportation, and while this 27 months wait is taking place, American taxpayers are footing the bill for all their social services and medical cares. I was disillusioned about the legal profession and never pursued a legal career but I have the fighting spirit from my great grandfather as a court judge. We are very concerned to hear that American lower middle classes do not need any job. A California woman was calling to remove Senator Feinstein, as she has no guts and strength to speak for her constituency. California has 5 million illegal immigrants, twice as many as Texas. If a country is to be lenient to non-citizens and harsh to citizens, then it is not such a graceful country. A US citizen spouse should be granted a citizenship a lot faster than an illegal immigrant. California has the Jarvis tax reform. This is to regulate the government in the harsh taxation on housing. Law clerks should look into the California state to regulate the immigration and pass new amendments, should the Senate to decide to sell out the Middle class. Solution 1) Cut down on ‘frivolous filing’ and immigration litigation to free up the courts for real cases. 2) Have the domestic Mexican government to stimulate their own job market so that it is not an absolute enticement for Mexicans to come to the US. I praise China for the prime minister announcing the farms are free from levying taxes, and this helps keep balancing jobs in the local regions, and stems the flow to urban cities. 3) Install more health agencies to accommodate the legal citizens. Approve more of a budget for middle-class Americans. This will reduce the resentment for illegal immigrants competing for the scarce resources. 4) Sustain a good policy. For charity non-profit groups, a model program is El Cerrito, Fountain Planning Project. This is a free clinic once a month with doctors of bone, eyes, teeth, Chinese herb medicine, acupuncture, and physical therapists. 5) Remedy the ill policy. Hold the service accountable. The Latinos being the majority, often the social service case workers are biased only toward people with Latin last names. Civil rights should be applied to all races.
