another swing and a miss. how can you not grasp the difference between legal and illegal. i know you're smarter than this so i must conclude is a deliberate ploy to get more latinos into they country. this has been well-documented. we don't have to assimilate, we'll just overpopulate has been used in other countries. israel is in the same boat. the arabs will continue their third-world birth rates in the west bank until the jews are in the minority and then take over. what has happened in zimbabwe will happen there.

What's wrong with people having babies we are one people you know..Our only differences are our colors..I noticed that several people haven't answered the question but they have been more than happy to condemn it..Will how about this your driving down a desolate country road and no one is around for miles you get into an accident your ejected from your car bleeding to death on the road a truck load of illegals happens by...Do you accept their help or call the border patrrol on them???? Please take all the time you need and try to answer honestly..... It's too bad we live in a country where there are still people that hate over differences..Oh by the way my Mexican niece had a 6 and a half pound baby boy on the 17th she named him after my Irish couson Eric who was killed in Hawaii in 2002..

hey bird. if we're one people, why is there such a disparity in treatment of peoples? why do white women have an incarceration rate that's 1% of black men? was does affirmative action only work one way? why are white men the only ones that are charged with hate crimes? on your question, are you kidding me? what if a martian rode up on a unicorn? amazingly you are correct about hate. why is it ok for minorities to hate white men? why is it ok to deny a person a job because of their race and gender? why is it ok for women to physically assault men? why are white men invariably portrayed as boobs and punching bags on tv? my posts are about equal rights for everybody, yet i'm being considered a racist and a sexist because i write that white males should be treated the same as others. i guess equality only applies to some.

Maybe it's because white men have been getting away with this for years...How come you don't answer the original question??? Hell I remember when I was a kid my Dad pummeled the shit out of me all the time. Once when I was four years old and I wouldn't eat my mashed potatoes because they were too hot...My Dad knocked the shit out of me right in front of the cities cheif of police who didn't lift a finger to stop it...It's time for the good old boys to come down to everyone elses level..

OK Bugsbro, how about this one.

Illegal Mexican, let say woman, shacks up with a legal American, a man.

Illigal Mexican woman has baby on American Soil that is the biological child of legal American Male.

Now you have one illegal parent and one legal parent. Is the child a legal American citizen, or an illegal Mexican citizen? Or does the child have no citizenship of any country?

After all, this would be a problem with your statement of

it's simple sa guy. all that needs to be changed is to say a child born legally in this country by legal citizens.

What is the point is the Author wish to express with this "statistic"...

I could prove that White women in the age group 17-25 commit 75 times more violent crimes than Asian women from ages 65-70...

What kind of distinctions can you conclude of "Whites" as a whole or 'White" females from that statement...I hope NONE cuz none should be drawn!!!

So it makes for good forum Fodder to draw destinctions between the races...But unless you're a Trained Researcher and Social Scientist...then You're just a guy on the Forums Fighting to make his theories stick...

Sorry Bro...I dont buy ANY of your so-called race distinctions...its just more JUNK SCIENCE...

Especially when they come here and turn my neighborhoods, my cities, my state, my country into crap-filled replicas of their home country.

Am I the only one that gets the irony in this statement?

I can't rob a bank a simply say that I was trying to better my life so please be lenient on me and let me go. Who am I hurting by robbing the bank when FDIC is going to cover the loss?
Well that's what is happening to California's economy. They come in with their pregnant wives, pop a baby on the taxpayers dime and then their home free. The baby now has a social security number that can be used to get credit cards and anything else a soc. number can buy you.

Californians would benefit from closing off the borders and deporting a bunch of the people who are here illegally. Our education costs, health care costs, and entitlements would drop. Possibly to the extent we could balance our budget. We can barely afford the pople we have without the burden of more illegals syphoning off our budget.

I dont doubt immagration is a strain on California's economy, but why is California so in the Dumps...

Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas share borders with Mexico...all have bugetary problems by not like Ca.

Texas Has 3 major points of entry with mexico, El Paso, Laredo, and Brownsville, yet has a healty economy.

Seems like Ca. has Way lot more problems than just ilegal immagration. Seems like a whole lot of people...Ca. residents included, are F-ing up a good state...Sorry for Ca.

Id love to see you out in the fields picking lettuce...bringing Ca. back.

The fourth largest city in the United States, Houston, is a sanctuary city. Just this week a police officer was murdered by an illegal alien from Mexico. Fortunatey before the officer died he was able to shoot the illegal enough to slow him down and the officer's partner finished him off. They were able to capture three others involved, including a sixteen year old girl, all illegal aliens. It gets old hearing people say they just want to come here and work and send money home to their families. What a load of crap.

Maybe you should actually read that article. Texas declared its independence, sought entry into the Republic, and was granted it. Mexico did not recognize this as legitimate, and invaded Texas (America). What would you have had us do? NOT go to war with a nation that has invaded our country?

As far as the aftermath, we paid for all of the land, with the exception of Texas (because it was rightfully an American state) that we annexed after the war, pursuant to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. We did not up and invade Mexico and "take" what rightfully belonged to them, no matter how much LULAC and La Raza fraudulently protest to the contrary.

I don't see the point of your post.

Okay SA, you're hispanic, they're hispanic, so you have some sort of allegiance. I get that.
The police officer that was murdered was also hispanic. If you read the Houston Chronicle, even though it's a liberal rag, you will read stories every week about illegal aliens and death, be it with a gun as in this instance, or knives, or cars driven by drunk illegal drivers. My point is that you continue to condone their illegal entry portraying all of them as squeaky clean choir boys and they're not. When we don't control our borders all types of illegals are allowed entry and I've just pointed out the end result.

youre almost right...I dont have an allegiance to mexicans, hispanics, latinos, or chicanos...nor do I advocate anything Illegal.

in this and all other illegal imagration threads, I have endorsed a guest worker program. for profesional and trade/farm workers from any country. But seems most posters to this type of thread are not really interested in finding solutions to a difficult problem...they seem more content to complain.

So now when someone say something funny, ridiculous, or just plain false...I comment to put in Light there comment.

My remark to your comment was not to show allegiance with the illegal population, it was to point out the of the population in total, of course there are going to be violent crimnals. but to paint all with a wide brush is disingenuous.

How is a guest worker program a solution? At best it is a band aid. It does not at all address what to do with the millions of immigrants that entered the country illegally. In fact, many of the proposals out there would allow them to stay in the country thereby rewarding their criminal acts and flaunting of our immigration policy.

It would be wonderful of citizens of this country were afforded the same type of selective law enforcement, wouldn't it? Imagine this scenario, 0nly a few of us would actually get speeding tickets when we speed, only the select few would be arrested/jailed for robbery, battery murder...... Only a few dead beat Dads would be pursued and forced to pay their back child support. Can you imagine the chaos that would ensue?

Guest worker programs are a very. very, very small piece of the entire illegal immigration puzzle and it certainly not the way we fix the problem. Any program that rewards the criminal activity of those that entered this country is flawed at best. Additionally, a guest worker program is best designed to benefit this country and the businesses that employ the guest workers. It is not a program that is designed with the sole goal of helping the guest worker. The guest worker is just a secondary beneficiary.

One problem at a time...there is a need of workes, or do you know American workers ready to hit the fields and pick crops?

... isnt this the whole idea of guest worker...for business to hire documented workers and stop illegals from getting jobs and benifits?...its up to the employer to give benifits...if he wants.

if deportation is what the American people wants, then We are still gonna need workers...that has never been disputed. How are you going to transition from ilegal worker to no worker...Geust worker has to be in place before you can strat to lose wokers from atrition back to mexico and deportation...

Guest worker would start to move ilegal workers out of the job market...Heavy fines for employers that dont use GW and that use Ilegal Workers.

We can even go to a Citizen Worker permit, each american citrizen...upon proving their citizenship will recieve a Citizen worker permit...which allows him to work in ever State, and Territory of the US. No Worker Permit, no job, no SSI, no Unemployment insurance. Since Working is a privilage, it wont be the same as a Identity Card... It's only for work only.

In response to the OP, I think everyone faced with the described ultimatums would choose to enter our country illegally. This should certainly strengthen the demands for our government to do its job. Since Mexico is encouraging this illegal immigration, our government should cut off financial aid until they do their part to stop this and we need to permanently close our borders.

On a side note, after the last exchange I had on this thread, I am convinced that it is not productive to debate this or any other issue with someone having the comprehension, grammatical, and spelling skills of a third-grader, especially when they claim to have a college education.

If this were only the problem. You must also believe that illegals are only doing the jobs that American workers won't do. There is no big lie than that statement.

So many jobs that American workers, especially American workers that were not educated beyond high school, used to do are now done by illegals. Many of the jobs that our teenagers used to take as their first jobs are now given to illegals. When I was young my peers all had jobs in landscaping or as Bus Boys/Dish Washers or as laborers in construction. All of those jobs now belong to the illegals. Walk into the back of the house in almost any restaurant and you better be able to speak Spanish as that is what the majority of the staff speaks.

Illegals are taking much of the trades work that is out there. They have taken the bulk of factory/manufacturing jobs as well. These are not jobs that Americans won't do. They are jobs that Americans don't have the opportunity to be hired for because the illegals will do it for a fraction of the cost.

The Agricultural industry could use guest workers. Migrant workers have been a staple of the industry for years. However, we have a surplus of workers to fill that need. As long as there is an American that is willing to work there should not be any illegal aliens working.


We can even go to a Citizen Worker permit, each american citrizen...upon proving their citizenship will recieve a Citizen worker permit...which allows him to work in ever State, and Territory of the US. No Worker Permit, no job, no SSI, no Unemployment insurance. Since Working is a privilage, it wont be the same as a Identity Card... It's only for work only.


How would that work any better than the current system? When you take a job you fill out an I9 form that requires specific documentation to prove eligibility to work? How would your Citizen Worker permit be more effective or more fool proof than the current system which is routinely worked around?

I responded to your incorrect assumptions...I'd admit I'm not an educated man, but even I know this isnt a Debate...

A debate is where you would present a stong factual aguement and I would counter with my own.

To date, you have not made any sound Factual arguments. What you offer are anecdotal rants...your false "cause and effect" ideas of immagration are no bases for Debate.

Ill make you a promise...Ill back off and not respond your "rants".
Anecdotes, sweeping generalizations, and mis-information are not debate material.

add any other job catagory you like...

now how would you make the transition from needed...Illegal workers to guest workers...deportation is not going to be a overnight thing...guest workers would push out many illegal workers...

It isn't Mexico encouraging this illegal immigration.... We are... We have the gift baskets for those who make it here... We don't do anything about it, except to pay their medical and education... and stick them in our jails if they misbehave.

Can Mexico do something about it? perhaps... But we have politicians here.. Pelosi to name one... who is wanting illegals... legal.

I have no problem with anyone wanting to come here, America is a great place to live.... We just need to tighten our belts and cut down on Illegal's coming into the country... they need to stand in line like everyone else.

We have all sorts of new immigrants all the time... But legal immigrants...

Again... Mexico does have this bad drug trafficking at our border... because it's full of holes... But even though Mexico's economy isn't the best in the world, doesn't mean it is hell there... They don't come here because they can't eat there... They come here cause they can make better money and send it back to their families.... They can find a better life here.

It isn't life or death... So sneaking into this country is only being a thief and taking something that isn't yours.

If I want transportation... I figure out a way to buy something... what ever I can afford... Just because I like the fancy sports car with the great stereo... doesn't mean I can just take it.

Lets remember where all that dope is going...

To all the people slamming that Taliban Heroin

snorting that cocane and smoking that crack...

plus all you casual dope smokers...putting money in the hands of terroists, human trafficers and drug gangs...

but we love our dope...and our cheap labor.
