Petition for Green Card

The following email circulates around not only in the CNMI but across the globe. The email has been forwarded to all Filipinos and other nationalities with email access on Saipan and the rest of the world. Now, the question, what can this petition do to help the ailing contract workers in the CNMI who have been on the islands for at least five years or those that have been here for 20 to 30 years?

Now that federalization has been implemented what can this do again? You tell me....

Here's the email message:
KABABAYANS, CLASSMATES, COLLEAGUES, CO-EMPLOYEES, FRIENDS, RELATIVES, SUPPORTERS AND SYMPATHIZERS

PLEASE HELP US TO OUR PLIGHT. FEDERALIZATION LAW WILL BE APPLIED IN THE U.S. COMMONWEALTH OF NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS- U.S. CNMI, BEGINNING NOVEMBER 28, 2009.
BY SIGNING THE PETITION AT THE WEBSITE BELOW YOU ARE ALREADY HELPING US. THIS IS A WORLDWIDE CAMPAIGN SO EVERYBODY CAN SIGN IN, REGARDLESS OF NATIONALITIES. YOUR HELP IS OUR FUTURE. WE NEED A GREEN CARD BECAUSE MOST OF US HAVE BEEN WORKING IN THE CNMI FOR MORE THAN FIVE YEARS OTHERS ARE TEN, FIFTEEN AND TWENTY (MOST OF US ARE HERE IN SAIPAN) AND WE DON'T WANT TO GET SEPARATED FROM OUR FAMILY ESPECIALLY TO OUR U.S. CITIZEN KIDS AT THE END OF THE TRANSITIONAL PERIOD, WHICH IS BETWEEN 2009-2014) http://www.thepetitionsite.com/tell-a-friend/ 5925296

So why not bring the kids “back home” for a few years until the oldest turns 21, moves to the States, and earns enough to petition at least one of the parents?

For youth growing up in today's multi-cultural world, having lived abroad several years will give a great advantage in dealing with different perspectives and ways of life. 95.5% of the world population lives outside the U.S.

Rather than sitting around hoping that the U.S. Congress will amend the law to provide green cards to erstwhile guest workers -- despite the opposition of the CNMI's people as reflected in their recently elected leaders (Governor Ben Fitial, Senate President Paul Manglona, and Speaker Froilan Tenorio) -- the wise foreign national workers will take matters into their own hands and be ready for every possibility.

Preparing their children to move back home with them, and seeking a job there, is a logical choice.

Those with extraordinary circumstances, such as disabled children, should make arrangements with DYS or a trusted friend to take custody if they get deported by USICE.

Reparations Now! said...

You are a racist with no idea of what it means to be oppressed and downtrodden!

A mere green card is not enough for all the indignities, abuse, and injustices the CNMI Guest Workers have endured in these islands of slavery, na Islas Ladrones!

We need compensation.

We demand reparations!

Everyone signing the petition should support a $5,000 adjustment bonus for each aggrieved Contract Worker.

And the U.S. Congress should appropriate money to pay for the wages that were wrongfully withheld from us.

Justice for All!

Reparations Now!

Thank you, Tita Wendy. With this petition we are truly Unheard No More!

Surely our loss of dignity is worth at least $10,000.

U.S. Congress, we demand status now! We can't wait for the May 8, 2010 deadline for the Interior report. We might be deported by then.

Mr. Obama, tell Congress to pass a law so we can stay.

Kilili, you should be the one to introduce it, since it is here that we have suffered so greatly, at the hands of your people. Support Guest Worker reparations!

Dear Guest Workers,

Your time has almost come and it is your own undoing. Remember that march? That got the attention of the Feds.

Now they're here to "save you" by sending you home. Why? Because they're the ones who duped you in the first place.

You complained about making $3.05 minimum wage to congress. Boo fucking hoo!

You made minimum wage PLUS BENEFITS that local residents were denied because they were indigenous.

Who was abused? You? Fuck off!

At the very least, it was a tie.

Locals got fucked just as much as the guest workers. And guess who's wielding the biggest dildo of them all?

Wendy Dormol.

The worst part about it is that she actually thinks she's helping. I wish that were the case but it's not.

Sorry Wendy, but you screwed thousands of guest workers because you had the wool pulled over your eyes.

I have employed great people of all nationalities that include Filipinos, Chamorros and Carolinians for years! Sadly, I have also had the opportunity to also employ some from here that think they are entitled to extra breaks, less of a work load than their supposed foreign counterparts (we only hire IR's & citizens), a work when I feel up to it mentality and get this, time to pick up their children from school!

YOUR LEADERS are the ones who came up with the laws that kept minimum wage the way it was before Uncle Sam forced them to raise it! YOUR LEADERS are the ones who's businesses flourished and gave the sweetheart deals that kept your island with a free flow of foreign workers and made you a minority in your own home!

If any body deserves reparations it's the Carolinians.

As for civility- it's an uncivil world. In view of the ludicrous demands for reparations responses have been remarkably civil. so far.

A proud, hard working Chamorro is not local? How un-locally cognizant. But pride and hard work has nothing to do with nothing Pal.

Carolinians are local. Everybody else is an outsider.

Reparations Now! said...

Re-read posts #2 and #3 above, taking into consideration the possibility they may have been intended to be satirical.

Perhaps the U.S. Congress should impose a special 10-year tax on any naturalized U.S. citizen or green card holder whose first entry to America was in the CNMI.

This would be a small payment for the countless opportunities created by the wonderful CNMI Guest Worker Program that has created hundreds or thousands more beneficiaries than victims.

The “CNMI Guest Worker Alumni” income tax has as much likelihood of passage as reparations.

And only slightly less than special green cards without local support.

Imperious demands and provocative marches, blog comments, or candidacies are not the solution.

Any idea when they are going to deport the overstaying Carolinians?

"The immigration of Carolinians to Saipan began in the early 1800s, after the Spanish reduced the local population of Chamorro natives to just 3,700. They began to immigrate mostly sailing from small canoes from other islands, which a typhoon previously devastated. The Carolinians have a much darker complexion than the native Chamorros."

Stop it. “Follow the rules!”

That was the campaign slogan of Heinz in 2005, which he unfortunately jettisoned for a self-serving and standardless “change” in 2009.

That is why so many who voted for Juan in 2001 and Heinz in 2005 rejected the duplicity of the Unity Marchers and supported Ben and Eloy in 2009.

There, there, Mr. Baka. Let's not be so rash. It was only a couple generations ago that your momma and your pappa were but immigrants on the shores of America.

Hell, read up and you will find that it was only a little while back that Carolinians were but immigrants on these shores.

What you fail to understand and always have failed to understand is that everyone else IS following the rules. You are the one that is ignoring, bending, twisting and breaking the rules!

A unity march and and making requests to the federal government is not a breach of law. It is well within the boundaries of law and as long as this is US soil it is not just allowed but it is a DUTY of all citizens to make their voices heard. We are after all a Democracy, right?

If people adopted your twisted and arrogant and immature mindset then the Chamorro and the Carolinian would not be US citizens today. The Covenant would not have been negotiated and drafted and the Rule of Law that existed prior would be forced to continue for ever.

Heck, Baka, Did your ancestors "follow the rules" when they broke from Britain?

Why don't you try and learn yerself a thing er two? Grab a history book or even hit the law library and you will be surprised to discover that LAW is a living thing. It is not a stagnant being like you are. It is growing. It is morphing. It is adapting. It is changing.

Now get back to your traffic desk and solve some of the damn vehicular homicides that have occurred this year and stop with the cover-up. Do as you have said and Follow the Rule of Law.

Anony a few stops up- Local history didn't begin with the arrival of the Spanish. Carolinians were throughout the region long before Magellan showed up and they were darker than the imported 'Chamorros' because the latter's blood lines were fully Hispano-Filipinized by by the 1800's, the period you cite.

She is indeed a wonderful woman. But don't believe those who baselessly accuse others of "being mean," even federal prosecutors and former federal prosecutors. A lawyer is a servant of the law.

No one on Saipan is required to be formally consulted about Interior recommendations for Congressional action on "status change" except for our elected leaders.

What Mark Hanson, Maya Kara, Jim Benedetto, Greg Baka, Steve Woodruff, Deanne Siemer or anyone else think is likely to happen is far less important than persuasively gaining support, in a non-confrontational style, of the CNMI elected leadership. Fact-based economic arguments would help do so.

And they should be statutorily authorized to represent indigent aliens facing expulsion in federal Immigration Court, now that DHS Detention and Removal Operations (DRO) is starting enforcement action. Or we need to encourage bar members to take these cases pro bono.

You said, "Having a pending civil lawsuit does not protect an overstayer from expulsion by DHS."

Is that supposed to be threatening and terrible? Are you personally so against it that you logged on to the net and surfed blogs to find a place to comment and express your anger aobut it?

Have you ever read our local labor law, Cinta's Bill, PL 15-108?

Why don't you learn yerself sumthin' and take a gander at it?

Cinta and Deanne, at the behest of the administration, penned our own LOCAL LABOR LAW that says exactly what you just claimed ICE will do.

Here is the black and white on that one. FROM PL 15-108 "a good law" says Cinta:

"A foreign national worker ... shall be permitted to remain in the Commonwealth for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days in order to pursue a civil or criminal claims"



Still have issues with ICE and deporting workers with claims? Where was your whinning and complaining when Cinta penned her local labor law that did the same damn thing?

Can you show me the statute on ICE books that states deportation during claims?

No anger, just fact. As recently as a couple of weeks ago, the US District Court ordered that the CNMI not deport an alien with a pending labor case.

The US District Court has no such jurisdiction over DHS or the Saipan Immigration Court.

“Just the facts, Ma'am.”

And no, I've never read Pub. L. 15-108. Why should I?

g00$e said...

Anony a bunch of stops up- Decades ago while in Germany I was told of Nordics visiting the Western Pacific but have never found any citable material describing who they were or when they passed through. Do you have any reputable references? Skinhead manifestos aren't acceptable.

But even if Nordics did visit their not establishing any semblance of permanence disqualifies them from being indigenous.

There is compelling evidence however that the Lapitas may well have been the first Carolinians- defined as people who actually lived in the islands, possibly as long as 5000+ years ago. Indications are that they originated from an island between present day Taiwan and the Northern PI, and left all those red clay pottery shards all over Wing and Tanke Beaches. The local museum has a beautiful example of their craftmanship, unearthed from Wing Beach. They traveled throughout Melanesia and Polynesia, and some Taiwanese intelligencia believe that the Marianas may have been the first stop on their journey(s).

Point me to citable material regarding a Nordic presence here, even if fleeting, please.

Anonymous said...

Goose,

The point I was making is that we or our ancestors all came from different places on this globe. No human sprung from the depth of this island soil. That being the case how can one really be indigenous to these islands. Carolinian in and of itself is ironic. Their own name classification relates them to islands far from us, the Caroline Islands. If land is culture as I have heard people state then isn't their culturally attached land in the Caroline Islands? If not, how and when did it shift to here? And if that is the case does it trek back with them to the Northern PI and is that where their CULTURE/LAND is tied?

We can count out Deanne. There are two reasons that she would never have penned this statement:

"You'd do a lot better reading the Model Rules of Professional Responsibility than an obsolete CNMI immigration law."

#1) If she read that book she would not be listed as a reference in another College text that uses her as a poster child for ethical abuses and misconduct.

#2) She doesn't yet understand that 15-108 is obsolete. As a matter of fact she is attempting to have it amended at this very moment. If this is Baka or Cinta you may want to give her a quick ring and let her know she is wasting valuable resources trying to alter a dead "good" law :-)

So 1 down 2 to go.

We could as easily wipe our asses with the petition. At least it would provide some useful service that way.

Wait, there could be a unity march to the airport and as they leave each contract worker can sign the petition. Kind of like signing the restroom wall. It lets people know you were here.

PS: We already had 20,000 Tinas here but they all went back to China, along with 7000 of the remaining Filipinos.

Federalization, she asked for it and you got it.

Don't forget the thousands of NMDs that jumped ship when Fitial started destroying things too.

Altogether 20,000 + 7,000 + 13,000 makes for one hell of an Exodus. Moses would be proud. Go Fitial and go you!

Immigration federalization is such a wonderful, popular idea that people from all over the world, led by those who pushed most strongly for it, are now signing a whimsical “petition” to limit its application to CNMI overstayers.

We had a slew of economic impact studies done for ages.

This economy has been tanking since the early 90's. The sky didn't fall on November 28th the roof of the CNMI blew away 20 years ago.

The petition is not all that whimsical. You posted 7 comments on various sites trying to negate its potential impact. That, my friend, is a testament to its strength.

The only reparations we need now are in reparation for all the nonsense we have had to endure coming from you. I don't think there is enough money int he world to make up for that.

Newsflash! said...

Workers are treated as "Labor Units" even in the mainland.

Yes, the CNMI's economic difficulties are longstanding, recogized expressly in Covenant Section 701. No, there was not a single economic study of the effects of federalizing CNMI wages and immigration prior to the enactment of those laws.

Not one!

If you feel and believe otherwise, perhaps you have a GAO citation to such a study?

HA!

I thought so. It is unfortunate that economic ignorance so pervades these blogs that it is necessary to respond multiple times to such error.

From Wendy's Blog said...

Melberlin said...

Wendy, this blog will then notifying them [the Fitial Administration] whom we don't want to negotiate to [Deanne Siemer], so that they will assign (or send) another negotiator that we are willing to face up.

I will suggest that Wendy will be the first choice person to represent us to negotiate our immigration improvements... before May 2010! Because of her limited fund and time; we can support her. How is that? $0.25 to $1 per guest worker? that's peanuts! Unless you have another suggestion...

she may not succeed because "they" hate her? "they" hate us too! but who else is better and trustworthy?

As I suggested above:
1. Sign the petition,
2. Then have us march and battle cry to the street,
3. While somebody will work in negotiating at the table!

I may not be Tina Sablan's favorite would-be constituent, but she would do a far better job in negotiating on behalf of our hard-working contract workers than Wendy Doromol, if for no other reason than propinquity.

"economic ignorance" sums up your comments very well.

you are the one with the feelings and beliefs.

hard fact and detailed data of our depressed economy can be found in BOH economic studies dating back to the early 90's.

commerce maintains some data as well.

if a new study need be done to show what impact federalization will have than let it be done. do you need the GAO to do it? why? we have local commerce and other divisions that should be able to put one together. nothings stopping us from contracting it out either. the governor just threw 12 months and $3 million dollars at a lawsuit. since you are so intelligent and realize how vitally important a study is, why didn't you convince your great leader to throw a fraction of that at an independent economic study?

HA! makes too much sense for the senseless... don't it?

And it is a FEDERAL responsibility to do a study before enacting a law. And the U.S. Census compiles economic statistics everywhere else in our country, except the territories.

But you apparently think throwing money around is grand -- except when in pursuit of local self-government.

Filipinos for Fitial/Inos said...

Except, as the many Filipinos for Fitial/Inos have pointed out, it is the Covenant party that has supported decision-making on sound economic principles, including the innovative guest worker program and local wage control that built this Commonwealth.

The Pinoy vote will not support Communism, Trade Unionism, overly centralized Federalization, or the misguided promises of the Unity Marchers -- whose naïveté has cost their parents, uncles, and aunties their jobs and ultimately sent them home!

Nor do we espouse the rejection of traditional values of respect and civility espoused by the "change" advocates.

So any shift will be from Republican to Covenant.

And be thankful those Commies weren't really rejected because they're financing that build up you're counting on.


On another note- If Filipinos for Ben and Eloy were All That how come y'girl Gloria didn't visit Saipan?

Canoy said...

Recognizing the flaws of the NPA and Unity Marchers is pretty much a no-brainer.

Ben is closer to Erap than Gloria. No need for Mohammed to come to the mountain when the mountain will go to Mohammed.

In this case, Ben stayed at Erap's house. There is a certain populist strain there, but Ben is no movie star.

So he has to deliver based on economic principles.

I wonder how many crumbs, if any, Ben can catch from Guam's table.

It's funny that Wendy Doromol is still in extreme denial of the fact that Ben deserves absolutely no blame (or credit) for the Kababayan losing status in Pub. L. 110-229. Fitial opposed the draft in any shape or form.

Status withdrawal was wholly and solely the doing of Guam Del. Madeleine Bordallo as her price for letting the bill through the Insular Affairs subcommittee.

She did not want the CNMI's guest workers taking the jobs of her own constituents.

Yet Wendy continues to spew her lies that it was Ben's doing, censoring contrary views on her own blog, in the hope that if she repeats her lie often enough, people will believe it.

The status of the CNMI's guest workers will most likely depend on national immigration reform (or not).

Congressman Luis V. Gutierrez (D-IL) introduced the Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America's Security and Prosperity Act of 2009 (CIR ASAP), to the U.S. House of Representatives this week. Congressman Gutierrez was joined by members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Black Caucus, Asian Pacific American Caucus and Progressive Caucus.

In a press release Congressman Guiterrez said:

“We have waited patiently for a workable solution to our immigration crisis to be taken up by this Congress and our President,” said Rep. Gutierrez. “The time for waiting is over. This bill will be presented before Congress recesses for the holidays so that there is no excuse for inaction in the New Year. It is the product of months of collaboration with civil rights advocates, labor organizations, and members of Congress. It is an answer to too many years of pain —mothers separated from their children, workers exploited and undermined security at the border— all caused at the hands of a broken immigration system. This bill says 'enough,' and presents a solution to our broken system that we as a nation of immigrants can be proud of.”

Congressman Guiterrez is a passionate defender of guest workers' rights and humane treatment. He has worked tirelessly to push legislation that will fix the broken immigration system that will finally put an end to the exploitation of guest workers.

The proposed Comprehensive Immigration Reform ASAP Act calls for allowing illegal immigrants to pay a fine of $500, and then after six years of “legal status,” they would be eligible to apply for green cards. That is for those with no criminal records.

Maybe the CNMI's guest workers and overstayers could get a similar deal (no fine, except for overstayers), with green cards after six years as Commonwealth Transitional Workers.

The US should start the CW1 program as planned, which has no plan for green cards before 2014. The honest and legal contract workers will get permenent resident status at the end of the tranisition period unless they are tied to illegal scammers, in which case, the US has no obligation to do anything.

All want, or should want, fair treatment for workers, but many foreigners have taken "leadership" positions to protect their own illegal arse. some good examples might be Willie Wagon (illegal contractor, home builder, abusive employer, and former crooked recruiter), Mr. Royal Crown Ins. and bonding -- Cheong Pui Ng (another big crook), Englishman Barry Ladd of Misamis construction and employer of hundreds of illegals who pay him to keep working, Hector Sevilla the freelance arcitect/builder/artist and Dekata VP, or what about Dekata Pres. Boni Sagana who hasn't had a legal job in 10 years except working for his wifes snack shop...and she is a worker too.

This is just a handful of examples of what everyone knows is a majority.
