Why kick people out? It's not smart.... 44382@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 01 Oct 2008 23:09:14 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5570.html#44372 While there is some abuse, this bill secures one of the most basic pillars of our nation - religious freedom. I agree this bill must be well defined to eliminate fraud.... 44372@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 01 Oct 2008 21:48:48 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5570.html#44145 regarding the preach hate comment - that is NO basis to stop this bill going through as the Visa as there is an opportunity to decline the initiali R1 visa and they do a good job of vetting applicants. Why should the good folk and congregations who need people be impacted by a probably few bad eggs passing through? The good far outweighs the bad. I am so sick of people using the "bad guys" as an excuse for denying the "good-guys." By the way our own home bred preachers seem to do a better job ofpreaching hate than anyone else.... 44145@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sat, 27 Sep 2008 20:55:58 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5570.html#44144 I suggest that we all right to everyone we know to urge senators to move on this asap urgent.... 44144@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sat, 27 Sep 2008 20:52:45 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5570.html#43933 I have been working at my Church for 3+ years, and my I-360 was only just approved. But I cannot move ahead with this because I have to wait and see whether the Senate will extend the program. Will the Senate vote happen soon?... 43933@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 25 Sep 2008 11:30:55 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5570.html#43895 I hope the Senate passes the extension of this bill soon. There are really sincere people who really needs this and as Homeland Security has already started site visits, I am sure fraud will be eliminated. I speak of experience as Homeland Security was at my church and two weeks later my I-360 was approved.... 43895@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 24 Sep 2008 18:11:09 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5570.html#41748 Well said Mike, it is only 0.4 fraud issues discovered through this visa category, the program has to continue and eliminate the sunset deadline permenantly. The problem is with immigration staff who needs to be trained adequately in identifying the good and the bad one aquiring such visa.... 41748@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 09 Sep 2008 02:30:39 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5570.html#36192 The House has done a perfect job. I'm a religious worker and I'm concerned about the issue. It is a fact that R-1 visa provides support to religious organizations in order to fill their need of religious professional workers since a lot of citizens are not interested in religious professional and non-professional work. Yes the program has a huge rate of scam but the Departmet of Homeland Security is doing a wonderful job to cover that gap. Once more, GOOD JOB.... 36192@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 02 Jun 2008 13:51:35 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5570.html#32696 This program is the one that some folks use to get into the US and then preach hate against us. I oppose this program until we have a better method of vetting the people who are requesting entry. Our current methods are not working.... 32696@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 21 Apr 2008 10:12:26 EDT
