Retired immigration judge to run for Congress

I would think that republicans, especially the affluent, consider themselves informed voters.
So if you really want a better representative, do yourself a favor and read about whom the GOP’s choice of candidate says himself, he will be representing, once you(dumb Americans) send him to Wash.DC.
http://judgephan.com/Openletter.html

What do you call the people who voted for Obama, because he is Black? “Drones”.
What would you call educated people who vote for a candidate, only because he has an “R” behind his name? “Dumber Drones

Yes he does.
He stated in a debate with Virginia Fuller, who now will run as a Write-in Independent Candidate, that he is for amnesty, because we can’t deport 13 million illegals”.
He is also FOR Obamacare and feels that that bill, only “Needs careful reviewing”.

You would be considered a knucklehead, if you wouldn’t vote for your own relative.
But I am an American patriot who love my country first, and facts trump typo graphical errors.

Yes, America is a Nation of immigrants AND laws.
Most Immigrants follow the rules of law and enter legally to become legal.
Name one other country that doesn’t jail but instead rewards law breakers with all the benefits intended for its citizen and legal residents.

” If you think that there is no problem with illegal immigrants then you must be saying that you invite anybody and everybody to immigrate to the US and stay forever.”

Economists say the greatest economic utility results from open borders. I think it would be a good thing if allowed as many immigrants into the country as want to come in.

I think that the majority of Americans are BLIND to how the USA took shape.

A whole mess of “illegal” troublemakers came to these shore and murdered millions upon millions of the original inhabitants. In my book the “illegal” takeover is often referred to as GENOCIDE.

Admit it ‘mericans…that’s what happened. GENOCIDE.

The details of how the GENOCIDE took place is a big SECRET. Even as a teen in the UK we were informed about how the GENOCIDE took place. I still love America but history is history. FESS UP! My family was admitted as political refugees.

i rest my case…tee hee

BUSTED!

Jose, it strikes me, that the very same people who resort to name calling are themselves thick sculled knuckleheads, and lack the facts or the skills, to articulate in favor of ILLEGAL immigration.
I agree with you that employers should be held accountable and punished for hiring illegals; and that’s why we can’t elect Phan Quang Tue, who is in favor of granting instance citizenship to people who ILLEGAllY entered our country.
But the very same people who detest the exploitation of farm workers, are the biggest opponents of Employee ID.
Also did you know, that for every crop/product produced, there is already a robot invented to harvest the fields? But again the hypocrisy of the bleeding heart proponents of ILLEGAL immigration, who blocked the mass production of these machine is astonishing to me. Check it out!

So, Truusje starts things out by talking about ‘dumb Americans’, ‘drones’ and ‘dumb drones’, but then chafes when others call him the goof he is. Weak ego much? Wow.

And his penchant for imaginative selectivity seems to have no bounds, as he provides a link in the WSJ on farm robotic technology and claims that robots now exist to do every field worker task. Actually, the WSJ piece announces that ‘progress’ in robotics is being made, but then says — first paragraph — “We’re not there yet.” File this under: reading what you want, despite the print in front of your eyes.

His remark about employee IDs and those who support or oppose is utter nonsense.

M. Sher shows a rather astonishing inability to appreciate nuanced positions. According to M. Sher, there is something logically flawed about someone supporting the 2nd Amendment but also being in support of more govt regulation; being personally opposed to abortion but supporting women’s rights over their own bodies; supporting US world leadership in the context of a world with a ‘balance of power’. M. Sher’s failure of intelligence on these matters manifests the dumb principle that is fostered and reproduced by FOX News on a daily basis. It is why we are in such trouble as a nation.

John, You are a genius!
What would we do without Brainiacs like you?
You didn’t only solve the ILLEGAL immigration problem, you also solved the high crime rate in CA.
You and Judge Phan Quang Tue, should be the standard bearers, and be the roll-models for the rest of Americans.
When your home is burglarized by a criminal and rapist, don’t report it. There really is no crime committed, if a trespasser, enters your home uninvited, and helps himself to your food supply your money and your wife or daughters.

Brilliant!!! Absolutely Brilliant!!!
You must have a Ph.D.
Your plan will save taxpayers a lot of mula.
Just imagine; we can close down all the prisons.

to “tue phan woe (or maybe not),”

P.S., I would say the reason this country is in so much trouble is the hijacking of it by liberalism. The positions of the Judge I have read would seem to place him squarely in the liberal camp. I don’t understand why he is running as a Republican or why the local GOP would endorse him.

Perhaps you haven’t seen his open letter to the “Vietnamese Community.” I tried to post the link, but the site isn’t accepting links.

After reading Judge Tue Phan’s OPEN LETTER TO the Vietnamese Community where he states: “I believe that the free Vietnamese-Americans and the people of Vietnam should have a voice on the international forum; and at this time, the forum is the U.S. Congress.” How about me, the citizen born and raised here in the USA? Or, how about the naturalized citizen who came to the USA because it gives them opportunities unavailable elsewhere? I believe our congressional representatives are elected to represent the people of this nation. States or US Congressional representation was not to establish forums for other nations. I’m also tired of hearing about the rights of minorities, who seem to take advantage of every social program offered by both the state and federal government available only to minorities. If you want to help the people of Vietnam, then go there and work with the Vietnamese government. There are many organizations that do just that through private donations. They do this by demonstrating the resources of the American people and our willingness to help and share go far beyond our government’s ability to expose taxes for foreign aid.

As a voice for the independent Vietnamese people Judge Tue Phan states he would like to see freedom, democracy, human rights, and territorial integrity achieved soon in Vietnam. This is all well and good, but as a Congressman in California’s Congressional District his priority is to concentrate and safeguard the freedoms, integrity, and liberty for his constituents.

Yes, this nation was built on the blood, sweat, and tears of immigrants willing to work to carve out an existence for themselves.
If anyone thinks there are other nations in this world NOT settled by an immigrant, then think again. There are no nations who population remains settled by it’s earliest inhabitants. Man’s quest has always been to search for a piece and a place to build a live.

To avoid turmoil and ciaos governments establish rules by which aliens must follow to enter this, or any other country. If you think the immigration rules in the USA are too difficult to navigate legally, then I suggest you review the immigration policies of other nations for comparison.

John, with your “PhD degree”, and with your stroke of the pen, there was no need
to elaborate on ILLEGAL immigration other then what I stated in the first line. After all, I conceded that you had solved the problem.
And since your last paragraph was lifted from a website, I also found something for you, I am sure you would advocate for the U.S. to adopt the immigration policies of its neighbor, Mexico.

MEXICO VS. UNITED STATES: MEXICAN IMMIGRATION LAWS ARE TOUGHER

Posted by FactReal on May 8, 2010
UPDATE – July 28, 2010: Audio: Mark Levin reading from this article.

Mexico has stricter immigration laws than the United States of America.
Here is a summary of two excellent 2006 research papers exposing how Mexico discriminates illegal and legal immigrants.
MEXICO’S IMMIGRATION LAW:[1][3]
(a.k.a. General Law on Population)

Mexico’s Immigration Law (General Law on Population) 1999

• Mexico welcomes only foreigners who will be useful to Mexican society:
– Foreigners are admitted into Mexico “according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress.” (Article 32)
– Immigration officials must “ensure” that “immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance” and for their dependents. (Article 34)
– Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence upsets “the equilibrium of the national demographics,” when foreigners are deemed detrimental to “economic or national interests,” when they do not behave like good citizens in their own country, when they have broken Mexican laws, and when “they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy.” (Article 37)
– The Secretary of Governance may “suspend or prohibit the admission of foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest.” (Article 38)

• Mexican authorities must keep track of every single person in the country:
– Federal, local and municipal police must cooperate with federal immigration authorities upon request, i.e., to assist in the arrests of illegal immigrants. (Article 73)
– A National Population Registry keeps track of “every single individual who comprises the population of the country,” and verifies each individual’s identity. (Articles 85 and 86)
– A national Catalog of Foreigners tracks foreign tourists and immigrants (Article 87), and assigns each individual with a unique tracking number (Article 91).

• Foreigners with fake papers, or who enter the country under false pretenses, may be imprisoned:
– Foreigners with fake immigration papers may be fined or imprisoned. (Article 116)
– Foreigners who sign government documents “with a signature that is false or different from that which he normally uses” are subject to fine and imprisonment. (Article 116)

• Foreigners who fail to obey the rules will be fined, deported, and/or imprisoned as felons:
– Foreigners who fail to obey a deportation order are to be punished. (Article 117)
– Foreigners who are deported from Mexico and attempt to re-enter the country without authorization can be imprisoned for up to 10 years. (Article 118)
– Foreigners who violate the terms of their visa may be sentenced to up to six years in prison (Articles 119, 120 and 121). Foreigners who misrepresent the terms of their visa while in Mexico — such as working with out a permit — can also be imprisoned.

• Under Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony. The General Law on Population says,
– “A penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of three hundred to five thousand pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally.” (Article 123)
– Foreigners with legal immigration problems may be deported from Mexico instead of being imprisoned. (Article 125)
– Foreigners who “attempt against national sovereignty or security” will be deported. (Article 126)

• Mexicans who help illegal aliens enter the country are themselves considered criminals under the law:
– A Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the foreigner live in the country is subject to up to five years in prison. (Article 127)
– Shipping and airline companies that bring undocumented foreigners into Mexico will be fined. (Article 132)
MEXICO’S CONSTITUTION:[2][4]

Constitucion de MexicoMexico’s Constitution
(English translation)

• The Mexican constitution expressly forbids non-citizens to participate in the country’s political life.
Non-citizens are forbidden to participate in demonstrations or express opinions in public about domestic politics. Article 9 states, “only citizens of the Republic may do so to take part in the political affairs of the country.” Article 33 is unambiguous: “Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country.”

• The Mexican constitution denies fundamental property rights to foreigners.
If foreigners wish to have certain property rights, they must renounce the protection of their own governments or risk confiscation. Foreigners are forbidden to own land in Mexico within 100 kilometers of land borders or within 50 kilometers of the coast.

Article 27 states, “Only Mexicans by birth or naturalization and Mexican companies have the right to acquire ownership of lands, waters, and their appurtenances, or to obtain concessions for the exploitation of mines or of waters. The State may grant the same right to foreigners, provided they agree before the Ministry of Foreign Relations to consider themselves as nationals in respect to such property, and bind themselves not to invoke the protection of their governments in matters relating thereto; under penalty, in case of noncompliance with this agreement, of forfeiture of the property acquired to the Nation. Under no circumstances may foreigners acquire direct ownership of lands or waters within a zone of one hundred kilometers along the frontiers and of fifty kilometers along the shores of the country.” (Emphasis added)

• The Mexican constitution denies equal employment rights to immigrants, even legal
ones, in the public sector.

“Mexicans shall have priority over foreigners under equality of circumstances for all classes of concessions and for all employment, positions, or commissions of the Government in which the status of citizenship is not indispensable. In time of peace no foreigner can serve in the Army nor in the police or public security forces.” (Article 32)

• The Mexican constitution guarantees that immigrants will never be treated as real Mexican citizens, even if they are legally naturalized.
Article 32 bans foreigners, immigrants, and even naturalized citizens of Mexico from serving as military officers, Mexican-flagged ship and airline crew, and chiefs of seaports and airports:

“In order to belong to the National Navy or the Air Force, and to discharge any office or commission, it is required to be a Mexican by birth. This same status is indispensable for captains, pilots, masters, engineers, mechanics, and in general, for all personnel of the crew of any vessel or airship protected by the Mexican merchant flag or insignia. It is also necessary to be Mexican by birth to discharge the position of captain of the port and all services of practique and airport commandant, as well as all functions of customs agent in the Republic.”

• An immigrant who becomes a naturalized Mexican citizen can be stripped of his Mexican citizenship if he lives again in the country of his origin for more than five years, under Article 37. Mexican-born citizens risk no such loss.

• Foreign-born, naturalized Mexican citizens may not become federal lawmakers (Article 55), cabinet secretaries (Article 91) or supreme court justices (Article 95).

• The president of Mexico must be a Mexican citizen by birth AND his parents must also be Mexican-born citizens (Article 82), thus giving secondary status to Mexican-born citizens born of immigrants.

• The Mexican constitution singles out “undesirable aliens.” Article 11 guarantees federal protection against “undesirable aliens resident in the country.”

• The Mexican constitution provides the right of private individuals to make citizen’s arrests.
Article 16 states, “in cases of flagrante delicto, any person may arrest the offender and his accomplices, turning them over without delay to the nearest authorities.” Therefore, the Mexican constitution appears to grant Mexican citizens the right to arrest illegal aliens and hand them over to police for prosecution.

• The Mexican constitution states that foreigners may be expelled for any reason and without due process.
According to Article 33, “the Federal Executive shall have the exclusive power to compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action.”

“If people sneaking in here from other countries can’t find it in themselves to observe our immigration laws”

Consider that many were brought here as children and entered the country through no decision of their own. Also consider that future immigrants, coming in under much less restrictive immigration laws, won’t be breaking any laws. They will be coming legally.

As to those who willfully entered illegally, I believe an amnesty for them, similar too Ronald Reagan’s amnesty law, would be the best policy. The one important difference would be that the need to restrict future immigration would be removed.

John, you can’t be serious…you’re just trolling to get a reaction. But, let’s say you are serious…how could you possibly justify flooding our already depressed job market with an influx of people looking to take jobs away from people that have contributed to this country for years? The ‘anything goes’ approach you espouse will create a chaotic situation for employers, local services, housing, etc.
I have a lot of respect for those immigrants that followed the rules, worked hard, waited their turn to earn a spot in line, deserving a chance to become a respected member of our society. I only have contempt for those that choose to circumvent our country’s authority and spit in the face of law biding citizens (immigrants and others) because they can’t be bothered to follow rules. They and those they breed do not deserve to be able to take up residence here as result of their actions. No amnesty….only a shove back over (or under) the border.

I am completely serious. I’m not saying there won’t be dislocations and impacts on some people. Transitions are often difficult, but the end result will be a stronger economy, better economic and technical progress, and more innovation. On the whole, it will be plus for all countries, including the US.

History shows again and again that protectionism doesn’t work.

Truusje shows a child’s inability to think through and respond to comments from both John and myself. Cognitively overloaded, he simply stamps his feet and claims no one has responded to his tortured analogy — so tortured as to cause a serious headache for anyone over eleven years old who chooses to consider it.

Fact: undocumented workers from other countries have been invited to live and work here by the Americans who employ them. The undocumented workers offer their labor in exchange for a wage. Criminals who break into your home have not been invited to do so; criminals who break into your home are not responding to invitations to exchange labor for a wage. Could anything be any more clear? (Apparently this is too complex for Truusje.)

Fact: calling undocumented workers ‘illegals’ is akin to calling 95% of drivers who exceed the speed limit on the interstate ‘illegals’. Yes, it is against the law to live and work in the United States without proper documentation. Yes, it is against the law to drive in excess of the posted speed limit. Are undocumented workers ‘illegals’? No. No more than someone autoing 43 miles per hour in a 40 zone.

Rather than attempt such transparently dumb analogies as he has offered, Truusje needs to wake up and deal with his deeply entrenched xenophobia. Odds are he won’t.

Tu Phan is running as a Republican. A look at Republican Party platforms, ideology, and practices tells me all I need to know. I will not be voting for this guy.

John,
Thanks, I’d only add that it still hasn’t been established that undocumented workers place a burden on ‘taxpayers’. For undocumented workers pay taxes as well. Several studies have ‘shown’ that undocumented workers add far more to our economy than they take from it.

Hey Lib,
If one or both of my parents were in this country without documentation, and this in order to improve substantially our family situation, I would be very proud of them.

As for your other erroneous remarks, it’s clear you haven’t read any serious literature (which will surprise no one). Many undocumented workers, probably most of them, pay income taxes, both state and federal, and social security. Yes, because the numbers are usually fraudulent, they are not eligible to collect on their social security payments when they reach a certain age. All this is unredeemed tax contribution to state and fed govt. All this could cause consternation only for a complete xenophobe (which, of course, as we know from registered lib is a dis, goes hand in hand with his racism and homophobia).

My hunch is that Lib is envious of undocumented workers. Hard-working, committed to their families, they’d never consider staying at home and living off their wife’s earnings. Ring a bell, Lib?

So, Lib, any response to my earlier postings regarding free markets, congealed labor, and ‘laws’ of supply and demand? Or to John’s? Didn’t think so, as you seem unable to go much beyond your own childish, hateful rants.
