boy dragon, you sure dont look like this fellow here.
Wow, nothing gets by you does it? I love it when people pull up a picture of a Native American when they can think of nothing else to retort with.
Its an example. I could well pull a picture of a hawaiin or mayan or any of the other
indeginous peoples of these lands. The point is that your ancestors did not get here first, and niether did mine.
Is it perhaps possible that your great great grandparents thought their home country sucked compared to america and came over here? America has a long and proud history of immigrants. So you cant be the guy standing on a corner waiting to get picked up for a days work to support your family. boo hoo.
Hey, my relatives were legal buddy. I don't hate immigrants, I hate illegal immigrants... big difference.
There are how many, 12 million illegal immigrants in this country? if we kicked the lot of them out, who would do their jobs? can you come up with 12 million people skilled in the same jobs? Willing to do the same jobs? Would you want to be one of the 12 million americans who has to take a low paying back breaking job to keep our economy from taking a serious punch to the nuts? Do you think that the homeless and the druggies will do these jobs? There are a lot of people out there who dont give a ::Dolphin Noise:: about their own lives and wouldnt take a job if it bit them on the nose. And how long ago did your relatives come to america? was it a time before hte borders closed? If your ancestors were faced with the same tests, quotas, and restrictions facing immigrants today, can you say with absolute certainty they would have been allowed in?
do something with the free education your getting and make a better life. Last time i checked those people crossing the border dont have PHD's in neuromedicine. They arent loaded down with briefcases of money trying to start a new software firm. And i dont think google has recruiters stationed accross the arizona desert. Just because you plan on flipping burgers the rest of your life and are ::Dolphin Noise::ed a 40 year old man who has to feed and clothe his childen is working harder and cheaper than you, costing you that job
Hey jackass... I am going to college next month. I don't plan on flipping burgers for the rest of my life. And no, most of the illegal immigrants never even finished school. But what you fail to realize is the amount of money they are plundering from the USA every year. And when these illegals come into this country they take resources away from the children who really need it... AMERICAN CHILDREN.
money. ahem, money? how about we take a look at where our money is going
Right Now. And have you considered the fact that even if all those illegals were shipped out, it is still possible for people to come here legaly? That there are more legal immigrants working through some kind of visa than their are illegals? My position however is that if you cant afford to pay for everything your child will need up to the day they turn 18, then you have no business having a child. If you want your kid to have a proper education and get a good job, then you had also better be able to pay for their higher education, because mowing lawns and flipping burgers and other low paying forms of physical labor are not going to pay for that degree your kid needs.
no reason to be a racist ::Dolphin Noise::. it is your own fault if you couldnt ammount to anything more in life than a low wage blue collar worker.
Oh, so I am a racist since I am the White guy... is that how it works? How about those illegals immigrants stomping through the streets burning American flags, protesting that European-Americans to go back Europe, and worst of all disrespecting our country and it's people? Listen idiot, I am not racist. I have dated a Mexican before, a Black person before, I have Puerto Ricans in my family. And who ever said I would be working a low wage blue collar job? I am going to college. I plan on building my own business from scratch. You sitting here making a sweeping genrelization about a person you know nothing about makes you look pretty much ignorant.

Who cares about your social life? so you dated people who dont have the same color skin as you, big whoop, your 50 years to late for that to mean anything. You shouldnt be making a distinction between people based on the color of their skin. Skin color has nothing to do with who a people are, and for you to come in here trying to use that as a defense, its shamefull. I dont see black, yellow, red, white, i see human beings. I never brought up skin color, you did. You are making a sweeping generalization yourself that all the illegals coming from mexico are hurting the country. Can you tell me that if you were in the same position as these illegals, and you needed work, desperately, to support an extended family of 10 or more people, that you woudlnt do everything possible to earn the money you needed, even if it ment breaking the law? These people are risking death to come to America, that is how important it is to them. A lot of them are doing jobs that no one else wants to do. It might not be PC to say it, buts its true. And thats just the people coming in by border hoping. What about the illegals who have done nothing more than overstay a work visa? otherwise well educated people who did everything right to come here and work legaly, and liked it so ::Dolphin Noise:: much, they decided to stay and continue to contribute to our economy. They arent hurting anything at all by working and living and spending money in america. What we need is to find a way for people to come here legaly, and easily. There are plenty of jobs to be filled, just open the help wanted section of the news paper. The day there isnt a single ad in the help wanted section is the day you can honestly tell me jobs are being stolen by any kind of immigrant.
You said your going to start your own business. Great, thats the kind of thing america stands for. And since your doing that, why does it bother you so much that somone else is going to be picking vegetables from a field for less than minium wage? do you realy want to pay more for the products you buy because 5% of the workforce was forbidden from ever working again and the people who would fill the gap want more money than the illegals? Do you want your child out there working the strawberry fields for 12 hours a day to support their family? no one wants that, but these people, who come to america, they have no other choice. They do what they must to survive. You have the choice, you are exercising that right to choose by using the education you were given, they never had that choice. And until your willing to do the jobs they are doing now, kindly stfu.
--------------------------------
On this note, i would like to say that I am ungainst *undocumented* immigration. Even if they come here illegal, I would prefer that the government knew who is coming here. There is a risk of persons who mean harm to our country coming through the same way those people who need to feed their families are coming in.
