I ask Mr. Syed, where are you getting your information? If the president of the United States has such powers then how is it that a majority of U.S. Congress rejected his Dream Act of 2010? What makes 20,000 “legal aliens” in the CNMI special over 10 million legal aliens waiting patiently and utilizing legal means to obtain citizenship in the United States?
In my view a majority of the so-called “human rights activists” in the CNMI have used data involving human smuggling, human exploitation, labor abuse cases, scam marriages and so forth while ignoring the fact that those that had committed such crimes were individuals from foreign countries.
Bottom line is, it was FOREIGNERS hurting FOREIGNERS who took advantage of a broken immigration system.
The drafting and introduction of Public Law 110-229 was for NATIONAL SECURITY and BORDER CONTROL purposes.
Recently, Federal Judge Phillip Pro had ruled that the federalization law did not provide that a lawful permanent resident’s residence in the CNMI satisfies the presence or residency requirements for naturalization. The federal judge ruled on behalf of U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services District Director David Gulick, USCIS District 26 Field Office Director Walther Haith, and USCIS Immigration Officer Susan Teruya.
Lastly, Mr. Syed if you are reading this, I ask you the following question: Do you remember what countries the
Department of Homeland Security excluded from the visa waiver program? INDIA, NEPAL, SIR LANKA, the PHILIPPINES and so forth.
Mr. Syed. I continue to state that the U.S. Congress passed CNRA, extending U.S. immigration law to the CNMI, to ensure effective border controls and address national security and homeland security concerns. U.S. immigration law includes INA and “all laws, conventions, and treaties of the United States relating to the immigration, exclusion, deportation, expulsion, or removal of aliens.”
