Who will say no?" [00:00] nobody INS? [00:00] IsambardPrince Before USCIS, CBP, and ICE, there was the Immigration and Naturalization Service. [00:01] IsambardPrince It was not under Department of Homeland Security because that didn't exist yet. [00:01] IsambardPrince It was under various departments throughout its existence including the Department of Labor and the Department of Justice. [00:01] IsambardPrince INS ceased to exist in 2003 when DHS was created and split INS into three new agencies. [00:02] nobody here it's called "BAMF" (federal office for immigration and refugees), located right besides the central headquarter of employment agency in Nurnberg [00:02] IsambardPrince US Citizenship and Immigration Services, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and CBP which is Customs and Border Protection or "border patrol". [00:02] nobody if you're working, you got a permit to stay... and i might add, if you're not _paid_ for your work it's considered not work [00:03] IsambardPrince All INS regulations that were not subsequently changed by USCIS, ICE, or CBP (whichever got that part of jurisdiction) are still in effect. [00:03] IsambardPrince And all court decisions involving INS that have not been reversed since then still apply. [00:03] nobody so, usually they simply exclude anyone without a party politics booklet or labour union member card from positions, or membership in any of their "churches" in germany [00:03] nobody east-germans weren't member of any church often, my grandmothers left the church after WW1 and WW2 [00:04] nobody then, if you learned a little russian language in former GDR school, your considered a potential "russian spie" still [00:04] IsambardPrince Work doesn't really matter directly for an immigration benefit in the US. [00:04] IsambardPrince It can with some of them. [00:04] nobody *you're [00:04] IsambardPrince If it's work-related or if you don't just have a ton of money or a wealthy enough sponsor. [00:05] IsambardPrince Where it usually comes into play with family based green card requests is the Public Charge determination. [00:05] nobody and if you're educated slightly above the common standards, that's even more suspicous to bureaucracy... [00:05] nobody can't be, that's not some guy to hire into waste-disposal or grocery store [00:06] IsambardPrince Under the Legacy INS 1999 Field Guidelines (which are in effect again after Trump briefly expanded the items counted as Public Charge), if you are primarily dependent on government aid to survive or most likely to, you are a public charge and inadmissable. [00:06] IsambardPrince In the 1999 guidelines that's considered institutionalized or dependent on cash welfare (which hardly even exists in the US anymore). [00:07] IsambardPrince Under Trump's which are likely to return that includes food stamps, Medicaid, Affordable Care Act insurance subsidies, public housing (rarely exists anymore, but still exists on paper), and some others. [00:07] IsambardPrince Also, you have to prove you won't depend on those programs, which is nearly impossible to do. [00:07] IsambardPrince Which means there's room for the officer to guess and accuse you of plotting to get food stamps or something later. [00:07] nobody IsambardPrince: thing is, i've had a home, yet in 1990 they invalidated my GDR passport, and installed all their party politics and corrupt labor union staff into positions [00:08] IsambardPrince And then to even get it filed you'll still need to show your household makes 150% or more of the FPL. [00:08] nobody in parallel to the corrupt former communist staff that survived 1990s [00:08] IsambardPrince Yes, the part about East Germany being treated like a conquered enemy was pretty much not even mentioned here. [00:09] *agentcasey_ has quit (connection closed) [00:09] IsambardPrince They treated it as if you were liberated from Communism and went on to much better quality of life. [00:09] nobody "east germans" aren't east-germans, it's centre germany, just a side note [00:09] *agentcasey_ (~agentcasey@8pzu2fcsusfzc.irc) has joined #techrights [00:09] IsambardPrince Well, it was basically "The wall fell, some stuff happened, and they're all happy under Capitalism now. Yay!" [00:09] nobody east-germans is just another misnomer and propaganda narrative [00:10] IsambardPrince So I guess I'm saying, you shouldn't be mad. [00:10] IsambardPrince Lots of people were lied to or left to assume all was well. [00:10] nobody the typical demographics is a thousand immigrants for one german or whatever i should consider myself [00:10] IsambardPrince There's very few people in this world who actually know what's going on or have power to change much. [00:10] nobody in any case i am not member of any political party, no labor union, no church affiliation [00:11] IsambardPrince And they're not good people. [00:11] nobody until 1990 i've listened to soviet lies and propaganda, since 1990 i am listening to EU propaganda [00:11] IsambardPrince I'm not sure why church affiliation would matter. [00:11] nobody no big difference [00:11] IsambardPrince In the US, that's totally irrelevant to your interactions with the government, mostly. [00:11] IsambardPrince They keep trying to "invade" though. [00:11] nobody IsambardPrince: church membership is asked for on almost all paperwork in germany [00:12] IsambardPrince Like the "ten commandments" laws. [00:12] IsambardPrince SCOTUS has been infested with Catholics. [00:12] IsambardPrince So they started tearing into State Constitutions that prohibited public money for religious crap. [00:12] IsambardPrince That too is recent. Last 5 years or so. [00:13] IsambardPrince Then they started allowing people to scream that they object to civil rights laws, because of their religion. [00:13] IsambardPrince In the last 5 years. [00:13] nobody germany is infested by chiliast envangelism... the end of the world is near.. "safe the planet" "safe the climate"... hey why not, safe the whole universe, torrow milky way will detonate into black hole, doomsday, go vote [00:13] IsambardPrince They're setting it up so that they don't have to comply with laws they don't like, the church can steal public money, and they'll plaster Christianity in all the public places. [00:14] IsambardPrince They're doing this frantically NOW because less Americans than ever are religious, and the church is going broke as fast as people age and die and nobody else hands them money willingly. [00:14] IsambardPrince They got a lot nastier recently, and it's not just that. [00:15] IsambardPrince That's why Biden tried to help Catholic Charities crapflood us with peasants from third world countries where they're Catholics.

[00:17] IsambardPrince They don't wwant to work, they just want to eat and use our system. [00:17] IsambardPrince The Catholics are helping an invasion by a plague of locusts. [00:17] nobody the energy accounting fraud was and still is massive scale international organized crime [00:17] IsambardPrince I can't wait to see the look on my Republican landlord's face when his handyman gets deported or goes to hiding. [00:17] IsambardPrince And the landlord has to hire a licensed plumber or electrician with the union hall. [00:17] nobody deeply entangled into party politics, mentioned church, and their climate doomsday scenario, to maximize cash-flow [00:17] IsambardPrince For about 15 times what he paid this guy. [00:18] nobody besides, they too control mass media, in particular their public tvv [00:19] nobody i am almost certain Biden/US-Administration were involved with the climate-agenda setting, to maximize just that, cash-flow [00:20] IsambardPrince The US is not going to be in the Paris Accord, which obligated us to pay for almost everything and take all the GDP damage. [00:20] IsambardPrince Some states claim they can stay in, but under Trump's "emergency" who knows. [00:21] nobody well, USA are recipient(!) of "carbon-certificate" moneys, just saying, in particular due to the "environmentall friendly" products that Tesla offered [00:21] nobody nitty gritty details, while i got focused on their _methods_ of corruption [00:22] nobody including stamping sceptics as "mentally unfit", blackmailing, extortion [00:24] nobody whoops, the fire detection sensor shouted alarm again, temperature too low, moisture high, this thing gets you out of bed instantly [00:25] nobody or, they're testing me, if i reside at my registered residence, since i must push the detector for having notice the alarm call [00:25] nobody this thing has been shouting almost a hundred times in two years, and the service technicians didn't bother to fix it [00:26] nobody not sure how they'll interpret the protocol log, if i stay awake during night and push this thing, if that is considered "illegal work" [00:27] nobody they were accusing me of having worked without reporting income, which i _never_ did, i always reported _all_ income [00:27] nobody below minimum wage, now they intend to tax another 10% of that [00:28] nobody with tampered and fraudulent records they had created, not me, my filings were complete, but they exclude and alter accounting positions arbitrarily [00:29] nobody then the letter arrived, proposing psychological evaluation [00:29] nobody that's blackmailing, government made blackmail [00:29] nobody not some petty thefts or darknet criminals [00:30] *IsambardPrince has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [00:33] *IsambardPrince (~isambardprince@bxkctgvq4c6r4.irc) has joined #techrights [00:33] nobody IsambardPrince: anyway, if Trump (officially) terminates "climate" agreements, too Musks claim for "carbon-certificates" were void [00:33] admfubar https://www.darkreading.com/vulnerabilities-threats/tesla-gear-hacked-multiple-times-pwn2own-contests [00:33] TR Bot Tesla Gear Gets Hacked Multiple Times in Pwn2Own Contests [00:34] nobody and it is those "carbon-certificates" which push stock-exchange rating of Tesla, without those certificates Tesla could file bancruptcy [00:37] admfubar https://www.tomshardware.com/peripherals/logitech-repair-program-offers-oem-replacement-parts-for-20-devices-available-in-62-countries [00:37] TR Bot Logitech repair program offers OEM replacement parts for 20+ devices available in 62 countries | Tom's Hardware [00:39] *agentcasey_ has quit (connection closed) [00:39] *agentcasey_ (~agentcasey@8pzu2fcsusfzc.irc) has joined #techrights [00:39] IsambardPrince nobody, Yes, Musk would have been obviously better off under Harris.

[01:02] IsambardPrince "India is a relatively modest contributor of illegal migrants to the U.S., with its citizens accounting for about 3% of all unlawful crossings encountered by U.S. border patrol officials in fiscal 2024, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data. Latin American countries such as Mexico, Venezuela and Guatemala account for a far larger share." [01:02] IsambardPrince Yes, but I'd say probably 90% of Venezuelans are criminals. [01:02] IsambardPrince That figure rises to nearly 100% of Indians I've seen. [01:02] IsambardPrince They're always up to something crooked and maybe even illegal.
