Philippinesso what do we do when Obama pushes through the imigration bill

Here's a little off-topic political joke I got:

A $50 Lesson

I recently asked my friends' little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats,were standing there, so I asked her, 'If you were President what would be the first thing you would do? '

She replied, 'I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people.'

Her parents beamed with pride.

'Wow...what a worthy goal.' I told her, 'But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds,and sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house. '

She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, ' Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work,and you can just pay him the $50? '

I said, 'Welcome to the Republican Party.'

Her parents still aren't speaking to me.


Yeah I am used to being screwed by now...almost 15 years in the military will do that.



lol!!!!!.....I just forwarded that 2 about 20 people !!!!

Charlie...you wouldn't last a week picking asparagus. :lol:



lmao...I am in Arizona all I need is for "someone" to do the yard work when it is 115 outside I will not last durring that!!!

I say let the Illegals girls that are pretty and skinny stay in the USA.

As for the rest of them, I saw round them up and ship them out ASAP......


I agree buit they would need places to stay!!!...any voluteers?
charlie&pamMalePhilippines2010-04-30 08:32:00
Philippinesso what do we do when Obama pushes through the imigration bill

This is a very touchy subject, first of all I am happy for Arizona, I am by heart patriotic and I am not white I am of Filipino origin. My family migrated here to the UNITED STATES the LEGAL way back in the early 1900s. For fairness with everyone else, including all the members here that is going thru the immigration process legally, I believe if you are not LEGAL then you need to get out, its as simple as that. I can go on and on and on, I pay my taxes, served my country but yet at times I see that the illegals are getting a better deal then me. For me It does not matter what is your race, whether you are Canadian, MEXICAN, Filipino or whatever, if you are not legal then its time to get out of the UNITED STATES.


it is not just the arizona laws it is the pardon that Obama wants to give all the illegals that are in the country right now!!!....there are people here in VJ that have been on this site for over 5 years and have done it right and legal and paid all that money to the GOVERNMENT and they are the ones that are really getting screwed!!!! All I would like to know is what will we all feel when this passes (which it will!!!!) when we have all been through the heart aches and tears, which....lets be honest we have all shead durring the stressfull times the government has put us through durring our journey's, what is our Government trying to tell us?????.....Maybe "Sorry I know you did the right thing but.... duck you for doing it the way that we wanted you to do it ....now we are going to pardon all these people who snuck in and took jobs from people who deserved them?????"....

Philippinesso what do we do when Obama pushes through the imigration bill

Considering I have spent thousands of dollars and I am still waiting almost 1 year and not approved, its extremely clear as to why we do I have lots of illegals. Can you blame them?

The united states was founded by people that wanted to come to the "new world" everyone here, has immigrant roots. (unless you are 100% native american)

So, I guess it was ok for the white people from england to come over in hopes of a new and better life. But not anyone else ?

What would you do if the native american indians told us all to get out , and said we were illeagle ? Would you go for that?



I understand what you are trying to say ....however because we have decided to do it the right way we should not be punnished and the 3 million illegals should not be rewarded when they broke the law and we went through our government process the correct way. It will undermind the process which we were founded ....If we were in mexico per their government laws if somone is an "illegal" they will hunt them down (article 67 of the ratified constitution of mexico) .......

Our constitution requires us to be law abiding citizens of good faith!!!!! which we all are since we are all on this forum,doing things the right way (legally)!!!!

Here is a quote from our estimed former president teddy roosevelt from 1907 and we should still stick by his thoughts and words today!!!!!....here it is:


"in the first place we should insist that if the immegrant who comes here in good faith becomes an american and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the persons becomming in every facet an american, and nothing but an american......there can be no divided allegince here. Any man who says that he is an american, but something else also, isn't an american at all. We have room for but one flag, the american flag, We have room for but one language here, and that is the english language..... and we have room for one but sole loyalty and that is the loyalty for the american people."


But getting back to my original point, for me to have to pay money to do things legally, then those who come after me they should be heald to the same high standard!!!...since it is unjust to charge me and not charge others....and what I am saying even though I understand your plight I am speaking to those who have alredy completed this process. That we should be entitled to our money back and my question is why are we being shaken down while criminals get a free pass????????????????
charlie&pamMalePhilippines2010-04-29 15:44:00
Philippinesso what do we do when Obama pushes through the imigration bill
If our President gives citizenship to the illegals, should we have a class action suit to get our money back since we did things the right way? What is my VJ's family views?

Lukes see if they can tell she has it!!!....what is the worse case senerio? If she has it you know you will have to wait the 6 months if not she will be in your arms soon!!!!

PhilippinesWhat would be considered alot of money in the Philippines

hahhaa! I tease her about it a lot. While she's been there in Manila she's done a little shopping for the kids back home. Both her brothers are ready to choke her - "It doesn't take 2 hours to buy a pair of tennis shoes!!" Cheapass..LOL

charlie&pamMalePhilippines2010-05-17 12:18:00
PhilippinesWhat would be considered alot of money in the Philippines

I'm really lucky I guess. I have the cheapest wife on the PLANET I think. "omg baby, no way, that's too much", "I don't need clothes there, I have clothes here already" (I should let her try December here in Kansas with the clothes she has "already" :rofl:)



kevin are our wives sisters????....lol...same story here when she came she only brought 1 bag with her ...her sisters got all of her clothes because she had a full waredrobe when she got here ( with the exception of jeans because no man can pick out the style and fit of them correctly......lol) and she only asked for money once and a while due to paying for the internet cafe bill!!!! And also Pam syopped working before we met so she had no money !!!
charlie&pamMalePhilippines2010-05-17 11:50:00
PhilippinesI'm relieved

Of course the money means nothing to most of us going through this process and as for the time, when your wating for USCIS also seems to go slowly giving everyone lots of time to spend doing whatever makes them happy. But where I disagree is what it accomplishes. You and I both know that you will be stressed about the medical until the second day at St Lukes when they are sent upstairs for their immunizations. There are a myriad of reasons St lukes finds to put people thru additional processing. From xray, to tattoos, scars, even annulments. But if it made you happy for now, more power to you. I hope everyone passes and St Lukes stops the nonsense.




I would have to disagree with that point I was not stressed at all when she went to St Lukes because I already knew everything was ok
charlie&pamMalePhilippines2010-05-17 20:33:00
PhilippinesI'm relieved

Pre-exams are a complete waste of time and money. It does not matter what other Dr's say. The only thing that will matter is what St Lukes says. There is no arguing with them, and no appeal to their findings. As others have said, the best advice is to just get the physical at St Lukes as soon as you can upon getting your MNL case number.


well that may be your view of it being a waste of time....but for the $25.00 it cost It is well worth it just for the somple fact that u will have one less thing to stress about ...of coarse they (st lukes) has the final say but if your fiancee is not stressed and worried when she gets there is is well worth it !!!!!

and of coarse that is only my opinion !!!!
charlie&pamMalePhilippines2010-05-17 11:38:00
PhilippinesI'm relieved

Ever since the beginning I have been worried if my ole lady would pass the physical, well her physical is in a couple of weeks and to end the agony of wondering if she would pass her physical I had her go to Cebu since she is from Hilongos, Leyte and I heard that a majority of doctors suck a55 over there so Cebu would be the better place to take her own independent physical. She got x-rayed and the whole nine yards and passed, now I know that when she goes to St. Lukes she will pass as well. What a relief...............wooohoooo



I had Pam do the same thing and it such a relief I know the feeling you have....It feels good to have 1 less thing to worry about !!!!

Philippineswhat filipino food is your favorite

There's so many! Pinakbet, dinuguan, daing na bangus. I miss those dishes because you cannot get as fresh as in Philippines.
Adobo, kare-kare, sinigang...I can make that here with no troubles. But the other dishes required certain fresh ingredients (i.e. dugo), which are more difficult to find here in the States.

What dishes do you miss?




waahhhh...hey sis we have a same fav. huh..i really love pinakbet,dinuguan,sinigang and adobo,mostly i can cook was adobo chicken and pork my hubby really like it..hehehe.. :dance: :dance: im pallning to cook pinakbet bec. we have asian store here near in our place....

Tell your wife to avoid taking naps during the day it will help with the transition.

There's also sleeping aids at the health store that you can buy I think its called melatonin.

Exercising will help also and sun exposure.:thumbs:
