Can a legal resident apply for citizenship for their sibling?
No, not citizenship, but a legal resident can petition a sibling for legal residency- but the sibling will have to wait in their home country many years (anywhere from 10-20 years)before being allowed legal entry in the U.S. Since you mention a legal resident, a legal resident can only petition a sibling if the sibling is SINGLE. If the sibling is married then you CANNOT file such a petition. If the sibling is single when you file the petition but subsequently gets married, you are required to inform the U.S. government- which would result in the petition being automatically VOIDED. If you know this and do not tell the government- then this would be considered fraud- putting your own legal residency and potential residency of the sibling at risk.

What changes to immigration have occurred since the 1950?
Immigration into the United States has varied massively in the last 100 years, for much of the 19th and early 20th centuries there was a large influx of immigrants from the European countries, especially Ireland, Italy, Germany, the Scandinavian countries Poland and Russia. Pre and Post WW2 there was another huge influx from the central European countries, with a larger increase in Mexican and Central/South American migration. With the new Millennium the largest immigration base is from Hispanic countries to the south of the United States, including Mexico.
Can the president ban immigration?
The President can not directly change any laws. He can ask Congress to change a law. However, he has a great deal of leeway in how a law is enforced. He can order the Department of Justice to selectively enforce a law or even not to enforce it. This idea of selectively enforcing laws is not a power given by the Constitution. He could be impeached for it. He has to be careful to pick laws that are unpopular or likely to be changed or declared unconstitutional.
What is the importance of immigration to the development of the United States?
Immigration gives the United States an economic edge in the world economy. Immigrants bring innovative ideas and entrepreneurial spirit to the U.S. economy. They provide business contacts to other markets, enhancing America's ability to trade and invest profitably in the global economy. They keep economy flexible, allowing U.S. producers to keep prices down and to respond to changing consumer demands. Contrary to popular myth, immigrants do not push Americans out of jobs. Immigrants tend to fill jobs that Americans cannot or will not fill, mostly at the high and low ends of the skill spectrum.

How do you benefit from immigrants?
Most of the Benefits brough to the United States are Economical, Migrant workers both legally and Illegally pay their share of social security taxes and Medicare taxes, and maybe they will never see the benefits of that money. Their taxes pay for the benefits of social security recipients in the USA. They bring a younger workforce to replenish the ageing us working population.
According to the United Nations population projections (medium variant), Japan and virtually all
the countries of Europe are expected to decrease in population size over the next 50 years. For example,
the population of Italy, currently 57 million, is projected to decline to 41 million by 2050. The Russian
Federation is expected to decrease from 147 million to 121 million between 2000 and 2050. Similarly,
the population of Japan, currently 127 million, is projected to decline to 105 million by 2050.
This population decline will NOT affect the united states, which will gain 100 million more people, plenty to mantain a healthy workforce, and support most of the retired citizens who depend on Social Security. Note that this population gain is native born, legal inmigrants and Illegal Inmigrants.
Even if inmigration takes a toll on human services like water, energy and enviromenal related to overpopulation, and some bring some form of crime, still inmigration brings a far more benefits to the US economy, Think of Intel and google that bring billions of dollars to the US economy and those company were build by inmigrants from Asia.

People who travel to a different country and settle there are called?

Can a mother in Mexico obtain a child support order if the father lives in the United States?
Child support can be obtained by the mother once the child is born and she can obtain a confirmation of paternity through the courts. The International Institute for Reciprocal Family Assistance (IIRFA) acts to intercede on paternity and child support cases when parties are from the US and Mexico. In other words, the US has a reciprocity agreement with Mexico in family matters involving children. You can read their handbook at the related link.
A determined mother can pursue the case with the help of member agencies that are required to assist in the collection of child support. Governments have recognized the need to help enforce child support and states are required to have agencies that will assist a mother in her position. She doesn't need to travel back and forth from Mexico to obtain support if you are the father of her child. It will be more difficult and take longer but eventually a child support order can be issued and enforced in the US.

Does a child of two illegal immigrants acquire US citizenship by being born in the US?
Yes.
Originally, several of the legislative creators of the 14th amendment intended that the children of foreign citizens born in the US would NOT be US citizens.
Section 1 of the 14th Amendment states: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
While the original drafters proposed the idea that foreign citizens were not "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" and therefore their children born in the US would not be US citizens, this idea does not appear to have been of any concern during revisions of the Amendment. It appears NOT to have been a substantive question addressed by either the House or Senate, with most of the focus in writing the 14th Amendment being on excluding Native Americans from citizenship, and on related issues around revocation of citizenship.
The wording of the 14th Amendment was changed with no real debate about its impact on US-born children of foreign citizens. During ratification in the US Senate, there is no record of any objection to this change in wording, and no mention of caring about its impact on US-born children. The issue appears to have either been completely overlooked, or ignored.
This left the final wording a bit vague, with no real legislative record as to the meaning intended by Congress. The Supreme Court, in an 1898 decision known as U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, settled this vagueness with an interpretation that children of foreign citizens born in the US soil are US citizens.
A new Supreme Court decision overturning this precedent or a new Amendment superseding the 14th Amendment would be necessary for children of illegal aliens to be excluded from citizenship.
AnswerAt the current time, any child born on US soil regardless of the status of the parents becomes a US citizen. AnswerThis is true, anyone born on American soil is an American citizen. Most illegal think that by having their children in America, that they will be able to stay here when caught. That is wrong. America will not deport the child, but the parent will be deported. If it is not a deportation because of an arrest, they will be able to take their children with them. However, if it is deportation because of a criminal arrest, the children will be placed in foster care of with a legal family member. The child's citizenship status has nothing to do with the parent's status.
How long do you have to be married to an illegal immigrant so he would become a resident?
It will take about three months for the work permit and social security number to come out, then another three months are needed for the actual green card. In other words, it will take total of 6months or even less as long as your application and the documents are correct and everything is perfectly prepared and sent to the USCIS. It is very important that you send every document correct and flawless. Then, less than 6months is guaranteed.
6 months after marriage the illegal immigrant will receive a temporary green card. 2 years after marriage another interview is setup and they receive a permanent green card that lasts for 10 years. During this time the illegal resident may apply for US citizenship.
What are the positive effects of immigration?
there is really no positive things unless they can speak English if not the need to get the hell out of America
wow you are so good at answering. immigrants make our culture more inriched and diverse. they can help our economy and so much more.
some negative things are that the more people there are the more supplies are needed and the more money is needed. the first person who answered is being racist against immigrants.
Seriously the first person who wrote is being really racist against immigrants, just because they don't know how to speak English you have no right to tell them to the get the hell out of America. It's not their fault they wanted to immigrant to have a better life and future for themselves, and their families so before you say anything rude and disrespectful about anyone think before you say it because your just proving you are a rude mean uneducated person as well.
AGREED, that was not necessary. Immigrants are people too. They deserve to live and be a part of the United States just like the rest of us. Although, there are some immigrants that ruin it for others. Just see the US as a stew, immigrants just come live and contribute to the flavor and texture of the culutre!! I dont see it as a bad thing, there are always Pro's and Con's though.
