Holder of H4 visa is not allowed to work in the US and is considered a nonimmigrant alien. (resident or non-resident doesn't come into the equasion, since they aren't allowed to work) I have looked at the Department of Labor website, but cannot find their definition of non resident alien. Since you appear to have experience with their website, can you provide a link to their list of definitions?
-
You're trying to suck and blow at the same time. (by the way it also didn't deter crime, just caused a crime to fall under a different heading) Nice story though, happy you kept your family safe. Last major black out I went through, all the neighbours sat outside and had a giant BBQ. No guns were needed and nothing was stolen.
-
Then prove correlation and causation. otherwise the statement is just as silly as me asking for the number of drive by knifings.
-
Not at all, carry guns all you want. Just don't claim you are detering or preventing crime. If you want to feel better about it, claim you are helping lessen the severity of crimes. I have stated many times, I could care less of people in the US carry weapons. Quite frankly, I think there should be absolutely no restriction on the type of weapon allowed either.
-
Both are crimes. So, regardless of your use of your firearm, you have not prevented or detered crime. Thank you for making my point again. Try again, now without the emotion.
-
And were back to emotion. (and a complete stretch in logical reasoning)
-
Incorrect. Deter would, by definition, mean crime is not taking place. If you want to use that you would have to specify how guns deter major crimes, but increase lesser crimes.
-
Absolutely correct. And I am happy it happened. And a prime example of how guns do not prevent crime.
-
I never said there weren't restriction. I said that if you are a resident alien or non-resident alien, you are by definition allowed to work. If the student never worked, they would be a nonimmigrant alien. If they worked, they would have to pay tax as a non-resident alien until they pass the green card or substantial presence test.

In immigration resident alien is used for a collection of different immigration statii. It is not a separate immigration status. It is a separate status for the IRS as has been pointed out many times. If you want to test that, try and find the definition of non-resident alien in that same linked USCIS glossary. Here is the link: USCIS
-
In the US to be educated and leave. The other to work, pay taxes and remain in the US. Wouldn't a reasonable intelligent individual give priority to the second example? And you didn't answer the first question, which part wasn't true. You've called me stupid twice, yet you keep avoiding the argument and discussion. This should all be very easy for you. (never mind that you still have not established the fourth group in your pecking order even exists)

What IS the deal with the Tea Party and signs?

Now when us Canadians start paying taxes to the IRS, are we US Citizens, resident aliens, non-resident aliens, or part of this magical fourth group you invented? -

Would make sense. Also a great way to make sure nobody is noticing the country is collapsing at the same time. Rome did pretty much the same thing. -
Which part isn't true? And why do you think somebody from micronesia, who has been legally in the US for 25 years, working and paying taxes, has less rights to a job than a foreign exchange student?

Of course it is, but that doesn't mean a crime was prevented. The statement is just as silly as "think of the children", its a play on emotion.
-
Prevented or downgraded? In the example above, when a robbery turns into attempted robbery, a crime has been downgraded, it has not been prevented.
-
This is simply not true. Resident and non-resident aliens are IRS definitions. They are only used for tax purposes. You can be a nonimmigrant resident alient, just as you can be a nonimmigrant non residential alien. Just as you can be either an immigrant resident alien or immigrant non-resident alien. No such thing. If you are a resident alien or non-resident alien, it by definition means you are legally allowed to work in the US.
-
Wrong. Assylees, refugees, Certain Citizens from the Federated States of Micronesia, or the Republic of the Marshall Islands are examples . . . Again - I am growing weary of doing your research for you. . . . and Again I propose to you that you prove me wrong. To get back to your "pecking order". Let's put this argument aside and let's assume that people from the Federated States of Micronesia are in that fourth and last group. Why, in your "pecking order" does somebody from those islands, who has legally lived and worked in the US for 25 years, have less right to employment than a foreign exchange student (non-resident alien on your list)?
-
Asylees and refugees can apply for an EAD (work permit), depending on their time in country, they would be considered a resident alien or non-resident alien (you left out the Republic of Palau) They are allowed to freely work and travel to the US. However, since they are not a US Citizen or a US National, they are by definition an Alien. Hence, they would be considered a resident or non-resident alien, depending on how long they ahve been resideing in the country. See, resident alien or non-resident alien are distinctions made for tax purposes. (You asked earlier who brought up the subject of paying taxes...now you know the answer, YOU did by making the list)
-
No, they are non-resident aliens, the third group in your list. Did you not read the page I linked? They give a pretty decent US definition of a resident and non-resident alien. Still waiting for an example from your fourth group.
-
Fine, then just come up with an example of somebody in your fourth group, legally employed in the US. So far all your examples have been from your third group. You even stated you thought there were many more than the (wrong) ones you had already given.
-
There is no legal employment possible in your fourth group. Therefor the conclsuion people are supposed to come to is impossible.
-
Like I said earlier, if you want to call me stupid, call me stupid, you won't hurt my feelings. In stead of Wiki, which is a global web site, why don't we use an American definiton, since this argument was about the US. I suggest maybe the IRS, since they are the ones collecting the taxfromn those people who work in the US legally. Maybe read up here: http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc851.html According to the IRS, you are either a citizen, a resident alien or a non resident alien. So, I ask again, who is neither a resident alien nor a non-resident alien and allowed to work in the US and is exempt from paying taxes? Come up with an example and prove me false.
