"You are angry at me over the other thread and I will not be dragged into another attempt by you to make me out to be racist.



As far as the people that I have associated with...my past is what it is, I can't change it. I won't run away from it. I learned from it.

Many things in my past I am not proud of, but you will not ever make me ashamed to speak my mind because of my past."

1)I'm not angry at you I pity you but am not angry.I hoped that you can read your own post and see the illogic in MUCH of it and the mamy stereotipcal generalities you make.
2)Its good that you have learned from some of your past expericences......my point isn't to shame you for using drugs rather to get you to look at the things you say more rationally.
3)I cannot make you out to be anything you are not. Honestly,......I think you are very misguided,SOMETIMES well intentioned but very misguided.Sometimes,you come off like Archie Bunker/Rush doughboy Limpall....I make fun of some of the things you say because some of them seems to come out of the mouth of 1 of those 2.
I don't know you,just your post......my only point here is THINK about things beyond the superficial......don't fall into the trap of stereotyping and making such outrageous stereotypes.This thread on "Mexicans" taking over"seems to do nothing more than inflame,particularly when you use negative stereotypes as YOU have. My point in pointing outYOUR drug issue was YOU were pointing at not only him....but THEM

My point behind the drug issue is that not all of the mexicans coming over are good people, we need to have some control of what kind of people come over. Which is the purpose of border control anyway.

If these people need to come over illegaly because they can't afford to do it legally, then once they get here why don't they actively work towards citizenship?

"But when I deserve $10 +benefits, and "they" hire an Illegal immigrant for $6 without benefits or overtime or anything, is not only exploiting, but it hurts the economy. You're out one less tax payer"

You do understand that 1)to hire illegals is ...well,illegal therefore its the EMPLOYER you should be targeting
2)Only if the Employer isn't taking taxes out of the paycheck,nor the illigal buying things here is your point valid.....Still,go back to the root of that problem......the EMPLOYER

^^^that I do agree with marathon^^^


there needs to be multidimensional crack down on this whole situation.

Everything from sanctions imposed on Mexico to clean up their country. Heavier observation and consequences for companies that employ illegal workers. To preventing any unsavory Mexicans from entering, which would mean tighter border control.

I heard about the billboard brou-haha on "Lou Dobbs Tonight" on CNN.

Personally, I'm not offended by it, but I do think it's a stupid billboard message. If you actually look at the images of the newcasters they look like caricatures of (mexican) Indians rather than actual real people.

The owner of the TV station in question also has a reality show called "gana del verde" or something like that. It's a "fear factor" kind of contest among illegal alien competitors to win all-expenses paid legal submission to the US Government for a green card.

The stunts they have to do are actually really risky. One example I saw involved an illegal alien Mexican jumping from one moving vehicle onto another one alongside it. I guess these are the real "jobs no american would do."

I'm attempting to refrain for making fun of that post.You REALLY should learn more about the topic.You admit here to not knowing the problems with the process.So,let me just say to your question;Many do.1 problem is once illegally here its difficult to get citizenship.Mexicans use to be able to marry into citizenship in a sense,no longer.
I have a friend who is illegally here.He has been here long enough to pass any requirements for citizenship.He pays taxes,is a regional loss prevention manager for Kmart.He owns a home,married and now divorced from an American.He uses an assumed identity,has done so for 15yrs.He considers himself American...MexicanAmerican.He has no desire to return to Mexico,his Spanish is basically gone Yet,when he looked into the process of properly establishing citizenship he found 1) too much paperwork and few chances of getting approved without having to go to Mexico and wait. 2)He lives works and votes as an American citizen with drivers liscense obtained via false Birth certificate,he'd leave himself open to criminal proscecution for basically living as an tax paying American

My point:the issues are very complex,but generalities are uncalled for.If a wise open fact seeking forum is sought...don't use stereotypes....use facts,wisdom and logic

Since I can't afford a house I'm just going go and steal one, so long as I pay taxes for it then its okay right?


I mean really all the paperwork to buy house is ridiculous.

Any excuse for a successful illegal alien to not getting citizenship, is just an excuse.

The law is the law. Immigration is what made this country great but there's a difference between legal immigration and illegal immigration. Calling a system "unfair" because Imperialistic Americans are "corrupting" Mexican "values" doesn't come even close to justifying immigrating here ILLEGALLY.

"Good morning. While you were sleeping, your world as you knew it has ceased to exist..."
Chinese and Mexican officials reached an agreement today, to the mutual exchange of populations, pollution, crimes and music etc. etc. Chinese and Mexican peoples are now preparing to evacuate their former countries and are standing by, if not already underway in boats, planes,rick-shaws, burros and container ships. Part of the agreement and very idea was partly due to Americans being sick of illegal Mexicans who wanted to take back what was taken from them; namely Texas and California Territories. The Chinese were primarly motivated by Climate conditions. The US isn't quite sure as to how to re-act to these circumstances. Many Americans resent both "legal" and "illegal" Mexicans comming in to the US earning money, buying property and even various busines'es, yet have no qualms about Isrealies doing the same for the last 50 years, but then again they are "special" and certainly not "coloured" nor speak Spanish....
Stay tuned for further developments as they are sure to occur.
One observer noted that "you wont't have fer to git fur chinq take-out..." while another declared Well, we don't have to hear Hey senior, we remmber de alamo too, yankee!" This reporter is wondering, has anyone ever read the book Camp of the Saints" by Jean Raspail,"a novel about the end of the white world"...oh, shoot, he was a frenchie, and the French are bad guys cause they go their own way about "dem Ey-rakies' and refuse to die for the US oil companies...or Crazy George, self styled Emperor of the new world order of planet amerika...

No the French were getting their oil at low market value before the war while the US was guarding the oil route. Need I say more?

@Foxfire
I totally agree. Racism is old. It's out. Some people are like that, but most aren't. And this isn't about race, anyway. It's politics.
@Dragon
My friends DO like like to be called Indians. My family, includng myself would rather be called Indian. I mean if you were born in America, wouldn't you be native to America?
I'm from the Crow tribe. My step mom is Cherokee. Some close friends are Creek and Choctaw. We prefer Indian. And yes, my ancestors were here before the "white man". I'm over it. So what. That's life. In the mean time, I was born here, and pay taxes here, I donate to charities here and I will die here. This is my country. It's everyone's really. Anyone who wants to come here, can. But they should be legal.
I feel for the friend who has been here so long, and for whatever reason cannot get citizenship. But that menas that he's been here illegally for 15 years. On his side, he won't get any benefits from taxes he is paying. He won't get his SS, either. If I were him, I'd throw a fit till I DID get my citizenship. It sounds like he deserves it. Untill he does though, He's illegal. And paves the way for others to follow in his footsteps. He is committing crimes by just living here, and living under a false identity. I feel sorrier for the person who's ID he's using. He may consider himself an American, or Mexican American, but he's not untill he's legal.
Also, I totally agree about going after Employers of Illegal aliens. Or is it Immigrants? Dunno- the shiny happy people found one of them offensive, and I don't remember which one. But these businesses are taking advantage opf people to save a few bucks for their own pockets, and are hurting the Americans who would otherwise be paying taxes, and feeding their American children.
And it's not true (and if it were, it would be a total SHAME) that Mexicans do only the work that another American wouldn't want to. Last summer I worked construction.I helped build a mechanic shop, including electrical work, sheetroc/insulation, ceilings, brick work. ect. After that was over, I had a job at a Mechanic shop, and moved later into Detail. I can't get that same job now, because they've hired a Mexican under the table. (most mechanic work is considered sub contracted, as well as Detail.) They won't hire me back, not because of performance, but because they "can't" afford me. The only job I could find that gave me full time work in a hurry was a dollar store. Making half of what I made. I would SO much rather be changing oil, or cleaning cars. But the illegal will do it for alot less. Blame the Mexican? Nope. Blame the Employer.

Mexicans are good people, and many do a lot for us. It's a mixed bag of problems. But maybe the answer is to merge the two countries as one. Or maybe the takeover of the southwestern border states is a good thing. We need the hard work of those people who break their backs working for small wages. It's a shame the U.S. has hit the point where you can't live very well here much longer on minimum wage. So the middles class and poorer workers of the U.S. origin do get the shaft a lot. I don't know the answer. Guess we'll have to work things out. But Mexico needs us and we need them.

My friends and I like Indian. As do alot fo the population. Native American is something made up by you shiny happy people who think everything needs to be said politcally correct. It's a store bought word. It's a Blue Light special at Kmart. It's "undocumented Aliens" vs illegal immigrants. Even though they ARE illegal, and they ARE immigrating. And like I said, wouldn't anyone born in America be native to America? Kinda like Chinese. If it makes you sleep better at night calling us Native Americans then well, good. But my family and friends prefer Indian. And I don't care what revised dictionary you found the definition in. Look up the Def. in a dictionary 10 years ago, when we weren't so worried about political correctness. Every heard of Cowboys and Indians, the game you play as a kid? What about the Indians and Pilgims you learn about at Thanksgiving. How about the counting game 10 little Indians? One little two little three litte Indians...We weren't singing about India. You know, if you're worried about geography, then call us American Indians. But we're still Indians. Doesn't matter how you slice that pie.
