Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Our phones are always open. If you'd like to weigh
out on what we're talking about it here, come on
in and you can also leave us a talkback message
on the iHeartRadio. I've just downloaded that and look for
our station on the app. And when you find us,
you just tap the talkback mike record your thirty second message.
It'll come right to us. Our phone number is two
five four three nine nine three seven two four three
nine nine three seven two. Richard's got us on an

(00:22):
Alabaster this morning on the immigration issues here and this
ice sweeping up the nation and deporting illegals. Whether your
criminals are not some you know, hard working folks or
you know, getting swept up in all this, but you've
got to be on path to get yourself illegally in
this country. Richard, what's on your mind? Good morning, You're
on Alabama's Morning News.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Good morning US. Wanted to make sure that you understood
about what an ISx or one waiver is. That's for
an illegal that's here can have a path to get
permanent residency. In order to do that, you have to
you have to pay your taxes, pay you back by US,
pay de fine for getting over into the country, leave

(01:04):
the country, go to seeded or as or another city
is defined by the s State Department. Applying for biometric screening,
go through the process of entering legally, and then you
can come over. The problem is the cost of that

(01:24):
and the process that we have. The process that we
have is controlled by lawyers. There's a lot of good
lawyers out there and a lot of bad lawyers out there.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Well, I got to tell you that's one of the
mean I'm looking up the IS six on one waiver.
This is something that listen that says right here allows
individuals who are inadmissible to the United States to request
forgiveness for certain grounds of admissibility, enabling them to pursue
immigration benefits. Now, you're right, I think that you know,

(01:56):
first of all, I would think if you're illegal in
this country, familiar with the IS six oh one waiver,
I would certainly hope so that you.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Know, look, yes, yes, and they are. But what happens
is the cost of it gets so high. Yeah, because
you have people out there that just want to make
money rather than helping the people. You know, the first
thing that you have to prove JT is that you're
loved you're part of a family, and the people that

(02:25):
are here testify through affidavit that you're part of the
family and that they we want them to stay. This
is heard is terrible. You know, these people that came over,
a lot of them are just young men, the people
that are not well educated in the system. But then

(02:47):
again you look at the other side of the border,
the other side of the border, most of the people
that are applying are of Indian descent, and the people
that are taking the application and are of Spanish to
see them, and they're they're holding their hands out for
all the money they can get just to apply for

(03:10):
giving them the United States. You know, this was not
only do you have people taking money there, you got
people taking money on this side that people just do
as far as they can and they just give up.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Well, here here's the thing on this. I agree with
you that if there's a way for you to get
on the track of working your way into becoming a
US citizen or using the six to oh one waiver,
you know, to fill out the process. This is part
of the immigration reform side of the coin that I
think is certainly well worth looking at and changing and

(03:46):
changing the difficulties there are for people that are doing
a good thing here in this country. You're going to
become you know, productive in our states in the country,
you're you're going to be with a family, You're not
going to be a criminal. You know, all these qualifications.
If you check those boxes and you're still in this

(04:06):
country illegally and you go through the I six to
one waiver process, I'm on the page that you don't
have to be deported, you know, get over here and
let's talk about these cases. And if you're not doing
the process or you're just trying to avoid it and run,
well that you know. I think Christynomas said, look, you know,
self deport and getting this line and then come back.

(04:28):
Maybe we skip the self deporting and you just go
and fill these forms out and get the ball rolling here.
There's all kinds of room for discussion on this, and
I agree with you. This gouging people for money. It
is expensive. Everybody I've talked to that it has done
it legally. It takes a long time, and it's expensive
as crap. But you know what, once again, bureaucratic bs

(04:50):
in government operations is causing some of that slowdown and
muddy in the waters. I'm on board with you, Richard.
You know, we got to find a better way to
do this. And Donald Trump has even said, look, yeah,
we want good people coming to this country that are
smart and can be productive, and the workforce needs these people.
But you got to do it legally. But doing it

(05:12):
legally can't mean you've got to pay ten thousand dollars
a year and you know, take five years to get
this done. I mean, you're right, it's expensive as crap
and it's cumbersome, and your people here in this country
are taking advantage then and charging these people. You know,
it's like almost being a mule for the cartel. Yeah,
we'll protect you, but it's gonna cost you. Now that's

(05:33):
got to be part of the reform as well too.
So great point, Richard. I'm glad you brought this to
my attention. Thank you so much, buddy, and thank you
for listening to
