Re: Class 2 NI. What about us poor expats paying voluntary contributions?

Which phone number did you call? I need to call them as I paid a few months ago but the record hasn't updated yet, wanted to make sure the money hasn't gone into the abyss!

Re: new Arizona illegal immigration enforcement law

I agree, it wouldn't be good for the child to have no citizenship anywhere.

I wanted to add to my original post, but I'll add it here instead, I support SB1070, but one of the trickiest scenarios...

I haven't read exactly what he proposes, but if it is along the lines of the newborn child is a legal citizen only if at least one parent is legal, then I'm all for it. If that takes an amendment to...

That's really bizarre. I'm really interested in this whole arena, could you provide a link so I can read up on that? I still can't find anything myself.

Re: new Arizona illegal immigration enforcement law

I don't understand, if it is perfectly legal, then that person wouldn't be an illegal immigrant? Would they be in some kind of limbo land that is not illegal or legal during the process you...

Re: new Arizona illegal immigration enforcement law

It's possible to find other cases involving other laws where officials made mistakes, doesn't make those laws bad either. There will always be mistakes. Nothing is perfect.

Re: new Arizona illegal immigration enforcement law

I'm sure they'll be mistakes with legal immigrants being detained incorrectly, might even be me, but this happens with other laws too. The vast majority arrested will be illegal.

I'd like to think the officer would try a bit harder than that, doesn't sound like probable cause to me. I trust that the training that they will receive will help them.
