the problem trada101 is that you have alot of people in the antiillegal front who are clearly in it for racist intentions. you have to admit it. They arent angry that they came to america illegally, they are mad that they look diffrent, that they claim they dont want to asimilate, bring crime, like you said unclean, untrustworthy. You have to admit alot in the "illegal immigration" side is clearly in it on racial motives, not on the high and mighty legal front. So tell me this, why are so many against increasing the work visas or the guest worker program. And why take away the right that if you are born in america you are automatically a citizen?
So you are telling me that if I could LEGALLY build a christian church in a Muslim state, openly preach my religion and live a life like I do in the West, it will be widely accepted there? Now consider what would happen if that was done illegally. The reason to your last question is SO obvious, it hurts knowing that people like you do not understand WHY.
maham, are you related to Marcus from the Apprentice or something??? First, you are the one who said "unworthy, unclean", I just brought it up to make a point. Seriously, what is wrong with you! Second, how do you know that people are "angry" and "racist". It's just your preception, due to some bad experience you or someone you know may had. Still don't take your personal experiences and generalize them. Third, I don't know what the current debate is with the guest visas and how it relates to illegal immigrants. But maybe, just maybe they don't want to increase the work/guest worker visas because the current quota is just fine??? Hmmm.... Nah, it has to be racist!!!!!!! Right mahram?! I also think they should take away the auto right to citizenship when someone is born on US soil because of all the abuse. People fly all the way to the US just to have babies. It's an abuse that has to stop.
Mahram, Here's my concern with increasing the guest worker program. Right now when someone's visa expires and they don't go home we don't do a damn thing, maybe we actually catch and deport less than 5%. What is going to happen when Pepe doesn't want to go back to Mexico.?He just moves and we can't track him down, so now we have another illegal immigrant in our country. That being said, can we round up 11-20 million and ship them back, a logistical nightmare. We should militarize the damn border though. This sanctuary BS has to stop. Cops should have the right when pulling someone over for a violation to ask someone what their status is if their is a question. Do illegal immigrants fill a void, absolutely. I am just not sure if the costs to the social services system is worth it. Are most of them good people, that work hard, absolutely. Hell you watch the tv and they act like they freakin deserve all the rights of the citizen, f*!ck that! When I go down to Mexico for vacation I am aware that I have almost none of my American protections when I go there. The US doesn't need them, Corporate America wants them for cheap labor = higher profits.
"why take away the right that if you are born in america you are automatically a citizen?" it is an incentive for illegal female immigrants to come to america.
Exactly, earlier in this thread I posted...... My college Spanish teacher whom legally immigrated in the 50's from Mexico as a boy with his family said how stupid it is that we allow people born here to automatically become citizens. And he is a Mexican! Not to mention pregnant illegal aliens can receive better and free health care for their pregnant baby on my tax dollar, a stupid system we have indeed. Hell the guy whom killed the Denver cop here, migrated from CA to Denver, CO because Denver Health gives free health care to all. So they come to Denver get free health care for the pregnant mom and about a year later the guy shoots and kills a cop and flees to Mexico. Now the criminal homicide is the exception to most illegals, but it does happen. Militarize the border now! Tell Fox to start taking care of his own people and stop exporting them here so they can import our USD$
Your statement is almost totally built on catch phrases and no functional reality. I, and many like me, are not mad that they look different. We are mad at the ability for illegal behavior to be overlooked and tolerated because they put a few extra nickles into the economy. I am amazed that white America can be whipped with the mere notion that someone MIGHT call them racists and/or callous for following the laws as they pertain to immigration. These people, Mexicans, are not taking jobs that Americans won't. They're accepting wages that Americans wouldn't stand for. You can hire two Mexicans (or more) for the rate of one American in those low paying positions. Don't you know that when they become citizens, you'll have to pay them scale and cover insurance. That means it would be time to bring in the next group of "Illegal Immigrants" to keep the wages "affordably" low. And let's be clear, it is the "white owned and operated" businesses that almost religiously follow these practices. From Wall Street all the way down to "Ma & Pa" operations they are justifying this economic rape in order to make a bottom line. This is another in the line of never ending lies that folks give out as just seeking the "American Dream." Instead of three restaurants, we'll now only have two because one goes out of business. We have a country where ALL folks are becoming convinced that they MUST break laws to live the way they'd like. And, it's OK to do so long as no one dies, is maimed, or not allowed to write a book about it. Another other lie that we are accepting is that they are just coming to work on the farms. In Chicago? There are not that many bus boy positions that are clamoring for Mexicans to migrate there. There are many Americans available for work, but you have to pay the wage of acceptance. I am so tired of the, "we'd disrupt their lives if we send them back" line. It's BS!!!! They are ILLEGAL!!!! The fact that they were able to evade capture (as if the government were actually looking) for ten years and now have a home, a car, a credit card, does not make them somehow legit! As I stated in my other posts, "THEY NEED TO BE ROUNDED UP AND SENT HOME TO FIX MEXICO!!!" The legal community has no problem arresting African Americans and white folks who break the laws. But somehow when the person is Mexican they are saying they need to be lenient because there are so many of them? Funny that this was not a deterrent for incarcerating all the young drug selling/connected African American males who populate the jails nationally. After all, were they not just trying to make a living? And now police are complaining because of all of the excessive paperwork for, Mexicans? Why not streamline the "Illegal Alien Arrest" Forms? Seems very simple to me! Since there are so many of them and they need to be fingerprinted on arrest anyway, it would be a prudent task to document and add them to the system at the same time. Or is it too demeaning to fingerprint and photograph them for legal violations also? Taking the best from Mexico only creates a new version of Mexican Terrorists who'll be bent on disrupting America because they have no jobs, no money, no food, or promising futures. There will be a liberal front here blaming us for taking the best away from the Mexican culture and leaving them that we don't care about to rot. Stop playing into the feel good policies that white folks tend to create when they need to feel bad about a race/culture suffering. You ask about closing the current holes in the policy for citizenship? The answer is truly simple. Those conditions were added to cover the instances, not the practices. That was clearly not put into the mix as a way for immigrants to make sure that they became Americans. But in today's cultural understanding that has become a policy for many who come to this country. OH, OF ALL RACES BY THE WAY!!! We need to encourage Mexicans to stop running from their beloved country's ill's. They need to take a stand, and FIX MEXICO!! That truly is in our best interests. We do not need to be accepting them with some lightly veiled amnesty program in exchange for votes. Let's start the movement to help Mexicans, GO FIX MEXICO!!!!
the problem is dand, then where do you stop with that law. How are you going to judge if people are citizen or not. If your great great grand father or mother were here illegally are you then strip of citizenship. Or if your mothers legal and your father or vice versa you are half an american. Or if your ancestors were slaves you should have your citizenship stripped. Those laws were created for a reason. To prevent the government from arbitrary determining people b/c of their color, race, ethinicity , and etc if they are citizens or not. And thats not the problem with illegals you cant get good enought healthcare, if you listened to clinton's everybody would have free healthcare.
The quota just fine, then how come so many employers want to hire illegals. And its not for below minimum wage, its for min or slightly higher. If you are a capitalist and american you should desire for a free enterprise and right to employ people for teh prevailing legal minimum wage.
Romik I thought america was the home of democracy. Thats why people come to the west for economic and religious freedoms. Its always the first generation of immigrants who are illegal or legal who have it the roughtest, and hardest to assimilate. Like I said look at the 1st generation irish who came here illegally or legally. They had it very very very rought. But look at them now, you wouldnt be able to distinguish them from any other american, or call them unpatriotic. Its the same with the hispanics, in 25 years, they will be fully assimilated.
