  1. To get the second year on an OA Visa I have done Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. Both were fine. In my case all I had to do was just fly out and fly back in. Both cities were great. Both flights were under 3 hours.
  2. I need to move to another place soon. I am in CNX and I have noticed every place I have looked at now has a Common Area Maintenace fee. In one location the fee was incorporated into the monthly rent and it was 640 Baht. Most of the other places add the fee with the rent. There does not appear to be any logic (TIT) as to how the fee is determined. I have seen monthly fees range from 300 to almost 700 baht per month. Some of these properties do not have a gym or pool and the fee is still added onto the rent. One place has a 500 baht per month common area maintenance fee and tenants are still charged a separate fee use the pool. Is this fee something that is new or has it always been in existence. I have seen this fee at serviced apartments that do not require long term contract and at places where a long term contract is required.
  3. Yes, grew up in California and went across San Diego to Tijuana many times. Also got to cross into Piedras Negras from Eagles Pass and got to cross into Juarez from El Paso. Both San Diego and El Paso are reported to be the busiest land border crossings in the world.
  4. International Law? From the UN? Do all countries abide by UN "Laws"?
  5. How one enters a country defines the legal status of the person. If a refugee enters through a port of entry then he or she is not illegal. Therefore, anyone who can be defined as a refugee should be allowed to enter any country and stay as along as they need to? They why do countries need borders and why are passports and visas needed to conduct international travel? Just wondering?
  6. Migrants crossing into the US through the southern border legal immigration? Yes or No?
  7. So the answer is no. If one renounces why can’t theyregain at a later time? IF one leaves S. Korea as child and becomes a citizen of another country then they would not qualify because they left before the age of military service? Also, just because it is now allowed doe not make it reality for many.
  8. The are not hired right away. It takes time. Like getting housing, medical care, food etc. Millions have arrived in the last few years. The flow of new arrivals(mostly thought the southern border and illegal-yes i used that word because it is true) is not sustainable. Just city leaders in Eagle Pass or McCallen TX. I have lived in TX border town(Del Rio). Have you ever lived in a TX border town?
  9. But you have not answered the question so no debate has actually occurred.
  10. So you are a Dual Korean-American citizen? I was born in Busan and grew in Los Angeles County. When I became a naturalized American Citizen my korean Citizenship was renounced.
  11. So those who cross the US Border in Texas and California are not part of legal immigration now. Ok.
  12. I am an old man and have never met a Korean person who has dual citizenship. Joon, how many dual Korean citizens do you know of?
  13. As a former legal immigrant who became a naturalized citizen I would agree immigration (the kind where you get a visa and enter at a port of entry) is beneficial to the US Economy.
  14. Crossing the southern border is legal immigration? These Chinese who fly to a place like Ecuador, hire a guide or a coyote to cross multiple land borders and enter the US in Texas or California are now legal immigrants? At one time I lived in Del Rio Texas(a border town close to Eagle Pass) and know some who still live there and they feel overwhelmed by migrants. To them it is out of control.
  15. This makes me even more confused about how the locals think. They don’t like foreigners who speak fluent Thai and live here a long time. They also don’t like foreigners who can barely understand Thai and have lived here a long time. “Land of Smiles, the longer I stay the more confused I get”.
  16. My thoughts as well. Where is the shotgun shell from? The red part is plastic sand the bottom or the bass is usually brass. What are the consequences?
  17. If he is found guilty or even pleads guilty to assault does he get deported? Can he settle with the victim and stay? How much could it cost him to settle?
  18. It is out of control and how is out of control migration and/or immigration in any way beneficial to any country?
  19. These migrants will greatly contribute to the US; This is a clip from a documentary rom Al Jazeera not Fox News:
  20. Just got back from a two month stay. Paid more in CA income taxes I have paid in many years, the mood of many was gloomy, homeless guy was sleeping on the stairwell of the extended stay hotel I was staying in a middle class neighborhood and the only real positive was a cheeseburger, fries and coke was still under $10 at In N Out. In N Out a California company that was founded back in the 1940’s in Baldwin Park CA is planning on moving out of state. This follows a long trend of major companies moving out. At one time Toyota, Nissan and Honda had its North America HQ;s in CA. Only Honda remains. Two years ago California had a budget surplus of 21 Billion. Now the State claims a 73 Billion budget deficit. How does that happen during a “booming”: economy?
  21. It also not the forum to express the benefits of illegal immigration as well.
  22. No. People die in CA everyday, every hour for many reasons. You said "dying in the streets". I lived for years in CA as someone who neglected medical issues even though I had health insurance because I had a $6500 deductible. So where is my free medical care Gov Newsom??
  23. If I live fulltime back in CA my health insurance premium would be at a minimum of $800 per month with a $7000 deductible. As many know health insurance is mandatory in CA. Where is the humanity? I have never been on unemployment, welfare, food stamps, paid back all student loans in full and always worked no matter what the job was. I arrived as a legal immigrant over 45 years ago. I am not alone in feeling this way about what this Governor has done and continues to do. The current California Budget deficit is estimated at $73 Billion. In terms of lifesaving emergent medical care in California no one is turned away from any hospital. To do so would be a violation of state law. "People" are not dying because of a lack of emergency medical care. If an ambulance is called life saying measures will be applied and the patient will be transported to the nearest hospital.
