if u r in Mexico its really hard for u to get a Student Visa cuz there r a lot of ppl who r tryng the same... but ur advantage is that u know english and that will help u a lot! Talk with ur school counselor... they will give u a lot of answers

u cud try for college but not high school

To get an F-1 student visa, you must first be accepted by a school in the US. If it is a public school, you must pay full tuition even if you live with US citizen relatives and you can attend for only one year. If it is a private school, you still pay tuition, but you can attend until you finish high school. To be approved for a student visa, you must show two important things: first, that you have enough money to study and live in the US; and second, that you will return to Mexico when you finish your studies and not try to immigrate illegally. Your school records will show that you used to live in the US. If your family was here legally, you have a good chance of being approved for a student visa if you meet other requirements. If your family was in the US illegally, your chances are low because it will be assumed that you are using a student visa as a means to re-enter the US to live. Remember that a student visa is a temporary, nonimmigrant visa. Although some people use student visas as a means to immigrate, that is against the purpose of the visa and the consular officer will deny a student visa if immigration intent is suspected.

To study in the USA you need a minimum of USD $30,000 a year to finance tuition, food and board. There are almost NO scholarships for international students. You can not get a student visa unless you have the money available in your bank account. In your case you might have relatives here who can provide a place for you to live. They must be US citizens or legal permanent residents. This will help you if you do not have the $30, 000 in your bank account. However, stating that you have relatives here can be a disadvantage. The US embassy might see that as a reason to deny your visa. It could indicate that you have the intention to immigrate permanently to the US. Another option is to apply for a student visa to a community college which is cheaper than a 4 year university. You need an F-1 student visa to study as a university student. Getting admitted into college is pretty easy. Choose one of the "100 best public universities." Public means state or government. Private colleges like Harvard, Yale, and Stanford are too expensive and too competitive. You will need to write SAT and TOEFL prior to admission.

What do you think Latino and conservative groups clash over student's "Mexico" t-shirt?

What do you think Latino and conservative groups clash over student's "Mexico" t-shirt?
BIG BEAR LAKE - A "Mexico" t-shirt worn to support the county's World Cup soccer team has created a full-blown controversy in the Bear Valley Unified School District. The mother of the girl who wore the shirt to Big Bear Middle School on June 11 alleges her seventh-grade daughter's teacher took offense to the shirt and accused her of being an illegal immigrant in front of the class. Diana Aviles says she and her daughter are U.S. citizens. The teacher later apologized. The incident has erupted into a battle between anti-illegal immigration activists and Latino groups who say the teacher's alleged behavior is an example of racism and racial profiling. At the district's Board of Trustees meeting Wednesday, members of the conservative activist's group We The People were expected to speak during public comment. The group opposes illegal immigration and employers who hire and exploit illegal aliens, according to a statement on its Web site. Ray Herrera, the group's founder, president and spokesman, says he believes Aviles is an illegal immigrant granted amnesty. He says she's trying to push a "Mexican agenda" on Americans. She allowed her daughter to attend school with the shirt and owns a Mexican restaurant in Big Bear City that displays a Mexican flag, which Herrera describes as "antagonistic." Aviles said it's not outrageous to have a Mexican flag in a Mexican restaurant. The flag has been taken down because of harassment, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advertisement -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- she said. When the Mexican flag was up, she said the American flag was larger and displayed higher. "I'm not pushing anything political," Aviles said. "I had a small Mexican flag and a huge American flag, only for the reason that I'm a Mexican-American restaurant. I don't like people to say I'm not American. This is my country." Herrera said Latino groups such as The League of United Latin American Citizens have publicly called the incident an example of racial profiling so it can be cited during it's fight against Arizona's SB 1070 law, which requires police in the state to check the immigration status of people they suspect are illegal immigrants. "They've been campaigning throughout the county on behalf of illegal immigrants," Herrera said. "This is just a case where they think they've found another poster child - another racial profiling story." Leroy Martinez, vice president of LULAC Council 3163, said he decided to attend the meeting after he heard the group planned to speak. "If (Herrera) wants to turn this into an immigration issue that's his problem," Martinez said. "The reality is you have an American student who was profiled." A statement from the district says it's investigating allegations from a student that a teacher made racist remarks against her during a class. The statement then says the district will not comment on the findings of the investigation until it's completed. Aviles says the teacher should be fired. She wants her daughter to be moved to another class if the teacher remains at the school. "I'm angry," Aviles said. "Why should it be turned into a political thing when this is about a child who is being ridiculed? That teacher showed hatred in the class." The teacher's apology is enough and the investigation should be dropped so the matter doesn't distract students, Herrera said. http://www.redlandsdailyfacts.com/sanbernardinocounty/ci_15461281

People are on edge regarding this topic and the teacher grossly misstepped in the wake of the kids in cali being forced to remove their american flag t-shirts. This was in california right? ESPECIALLY in border states, people are immigration crazy ( i live in phx, i know) Citizens are mad and feel betrayed and its not hard to set people on both sides off right now. I like this aviles lady though. I dont know if the teacher should be fired, if so all the teachers in tucson teaching kids whitey is the devil and holding them down should be let go too. I dont know. Hererra sounds like a jack*ss though. Mexican flags in mexican restaurants antagonistic? Thats like expecting chinese restaurants to take down the dragons.
2 :
it happened in CA and thus has nothing to do with AZ's new law the teacher was way out of bounds, but that doesn't change the fact that illegal aliens are here illegally
3 :
If she is not pushing anything agenda wise - then why is she complaining? If she is such a U.S. citizen, why fly a foreign flag over your business at all? Why not just the U.S. flag? She and her daughter already got an apology. For most people that is enough. So who is being unreasonable and showing racist hatred now? Hint: It isn't the teacher.

Should the student who lowered and tore up the Mexican flag at UNM be prosecuted?

Should the student who lowered and tore up the Mexican flag at UNM be prosecuted?
Peter Lynch never imagined that pulling a Mexican flag from a university flagpole and ripping it apart would thrust him into the center of a nationwide argument. Lynch, a University of New Mexico student and Air Force veteran, said he was angry on Sept. 17 when he saw the Mexican flag flying without the United States flag, a violation of flag etiquette. "I was livid with the situation, and it wasn't the fact that it was the Mexican flag," said Lynch, 30. "It was the fact that it was any foreign banner." UNM police charged Lynch with misdemeanor criminal damage to property. Lynch and the university concede that the incident resulted from miscommunication— someone simply failed to take down the Mexican flag when the U.S. flag was lowered. But it obviously touched a nerve, sparking strong reaction from both sides.Belshaw: Apology Should Be the End of Flag Flap Email comments Local talk show lines were flooded with calls, blogs were abuzz, letters and e-mails poured into the Journal and hundreds of motorcyclists are making plans to rally on Oct. 7, the day of UNM President David Schmidly's inauguration. Was it an act of patriotism or an act of hate? “But why should any forgeign flag fly at a U.S. University for any reason?”Indeed that is the question.Unless this is Mexico why would we be celebrating Mexican Independence Day?

No the Mexican flag bears no weight here! If they want to fly a mexican flag let them go to mexico. And what about the criminals who flew a foreign flag on university property? Are they in jail or being deported?
2 :
No Foreign flag should be flown without the American Flag flying. I applaud his stance.
3 :
He should be held in the highest esteem in my opinion. Good for him. A true American patriot.
4 :
He should be punished. He should have filed a complaint with the university, not destroyed university property. I don't think there's a need to make this a criminal case. I don't think it's either an act of patriotism or of hate. To those making connections with flag burning - if he had torn up a Mexican flag he bought with his own money, I wouldn't believe he should face any punishment. It's the destruction of someone else's property that I have a problem with here.
5 :
He was right to be angry that the Mexican flag was flying there. And I agree that there's really no reason for the Mexican flag to be flying in the US at all, let alone at a publicly funded institution. However, regardless of his reasons, what he did was vandalism and wrong. He should have gone through the proper channels to rectify the situation. Or at the very least he could have removed the Mexican flag without destroying it.
6 :
No he's only doing what the politicians aren't
7 :
no he should not be in trouble. he was being patriotic. and we should not be flying any flag on our USA soil. i'm going to email them right now and let them know they are a disgrace to this country for arresting him.
8 :
Instead of tearing it up, he should have burned it. The fact that somebody "forgot" to take it down is questionable in my mind. The parade for the Whole Enchilada Fiesta here in Las Cruces this past weekend had people marching with Mexican flags, and were there any American flags in these people's hands as well? No. Arrogance runs rampant with those people, and they certainly have no respect whatsoever for our flag, even though they seek to come here to take advantage of what our flag stands for. He should have burned the damn thing.
9 :
No, he shouldn't. It is not our country's flag.
10 :
This was an act of patriotism. That soldier fought for his country, risking his life. He had every right to do what he did. We are in America and have every right to be proud of our country.
11 :
I can't see what a foreign flag is doing flying on the property of an American university? If he apologized for tearing up someone else's property that was enough. No one seems to get up in arms when demonstrators tear up an American flag- why should anyone give a rat's hiney about Mexico's?
12 :
Prosecute him for what? If he can burn the American flag, he can tear up the Mexican flag. It's called free speech. However, since he did destroy someone else's property, he should have to pay for it.
13 :
why should he be prosecuted? If it was an american flag that he defaced he would be looked at as a hero, a freedom fighter, and other amazing things. If he would be treated that way about our flag, why should he get in trouble for another countries flag. Even though we may not always like it, our country is free and we give people the right to burn our flag, so why not other flags flying in our country?
14 :
No he shouldn't be prosecuted, he should be given a medal of honor. I would have burned it, stomped it into the ground, and took a dump on it. Oh, that wasn't politically correct was it?
15 :
I think the student handled it the wrong way, but he shouldn't be prosecuted. Instead of ripping it down (which I would be tempted to do, too), he should have immediately contacted someone at the University and requested that it immediately be remedied. I cannot understand how it was a "miscommunication". Anyone who is in a position of being a flag bearer should be adequately trained on protocol and flag regulations, and I hope the University takes necessary measures to ensure that this never happens again. I also think that whomever made the "mistake" should make a public apology.
16 :
I think he's retarded and should be slapped. He obviously hates Mexicans. Who cares what flag was up there!!!
17 :
Firstly, if they failed to take down the mexican flag after they took down the American Flag, doesn't that mean the mexican flag was flying above Our Flag. This goes to show that any non American can come into our country, burn our flag, march against America, and any other anti-American thing they want to do, and they are protected under the constitution, while an American citizen, defending his/her country from acts like this one, gets punished. Why can't our constitution protect its citizens vs. protecting people on American soil. If mexico, puerto rico, canada, france, any other country is better than ours, move back. You don't have to be here, but this is America and if people want to live here, they should speak our language, fly our flag, and respect our laws. Mark my word, someday in the the future of our lifetimes, we will have another war in our country, but it won't be against Al-queda or any other Muslim group, it will be against those that do not belong here, to finally get them out and to stop ruining our country.
18 :
The University is at fault. Anybody charging them with treason? Why not?
19 :
He should be charged with destruction of personal property. I don't care what it is - or why he ruined it- YOU DON'T have the right to take - or break- other people's things. This is something I am trying to teach my toddlers. I would hope by the time they are adults they would understand this very basic statement. * I do agree that the flag should not be being flown- especially without the US flag*
20 :
No, he should not be prosecuted, even though he technically did destroy someone else's property. However, the University should face stiff financial penalties for ignoring the rules regarding the flying of national flags. The Mexican national flag has meaning here only on the grounds of Mexican embassies/consulates and on the grounds of the United Nations. Outside those areas it is just a piece of cloth like my shirt.
21 :
We as Veterans watched in Horror as demonstrators Tore,riped and Burned our flag That we all fought,bled and died for.The vary thing that we swore to protect lay burning in the street.The same Constitution that we fought for said they had the right to burn our flag under freedom of speech.Does it piss me off hell yes! is there any thing we can do any thing about it NO!
22 :
The proper response would be to call attention to it. This person robbed himself of his own moral power by giving the university police the luxery of thinking about his conduct and wrong doing. To win a battle like this you must keep the burden of immorality upon the institution or individual who wrongfully flew the Mexican flag over American soil. In other words never give your opponent the luxery of thinking about your behavior when they have done wrong and know it. I would have called the president's office and announced that I was calling the local news station over their error and that they better get the flag down fast as this is not Mexican territory. I would then use my cell phone to get a picture of it before they could hide their error, in order to file a complaint with the State of New Mexico.
23 :
No foreign flag should fly at a US government facility, as a state funded university is, that is for sure, except possibly lower than the US flag if welcoming a foreign dignitary. Which doesn't make vandalism ok.
24 :
No.
25 :
As a UNM alumni and a New Mexico native here my take.. (1) Who is teaching the ROTC unit on proper flag protocol??? It is my understanding that they took down the US flag and ran the Mexican flag back up. This would have been a golden opportunity for someone at ROTC to explain proper US flag protocol. (2) Where were the Mexican through all this? They ran their flag up and hit the road. If you are going to engage in flag raising in this country, there are long standing protocols, learn and following them. (3) Where were the Latino UNM Administration members when action could have been taken to correct the situation?Sitting on their thumbs as the historically have done? Would they be rushing to apologise to our US veterans if it had been the US flag and Mexican students? Don't kid yourself. (4) Does Mr. Lynch have the right to vent some anger after dealing the the 3 groups above who refused to follow proper flag protocols? Sure he does. Should he have torn up the flag, probably not but he has said that already. (5) Would this have happened at a Mexican university on the 4th of July? NO, they would have shot the American students for trying to raise a US flag.
