I've thought about doing that, but even if there was 10 INS Agents standing outside they would not do a thing. Our government doesn't give a rats about the flood of illegal immigration.

Does anyone else get the impression that the 99% of the people that guy meets in his daily life think he's a giant dork, and that Mexicans are the only people he can feel superior to?
I could be wrong; he just seems to have that "got beat up in gradeschool every day at lunch" vibe

A few years back I was working on a remodel job, we picked up a couple guys just for the day to help unload material. They busted their asses so much we kept them on for almost 5 years, helped them get to stay in the country, helped them get apartments etc. They spoke almost no english at first, and by the end of it I spoke some spanish and they spoke some english.
To date they were some of the most reliable, hardest workers I have ever seen. When they had cookouts on the weekends and shit they would get a lil buz workin and call me and or my dad up (his construction company) and sing to us. They called him Grandpa.
I have zero problems with immigrants coming over here to work.
I have way more issues with our citizens who sit on their f*****g ass and collect welfare while continuing to shit out babies from different fathers.
Until we found these guys we couldnt get any white or black americans to show up more than 2 days in a row for any price.
We paid our guys fair, and tought them a great deal of carpentry. Last I heard one of them had put a downpayment on a house and either had citizenship or was close to it, the language barrier was still there a bit and I was drunk when he told me.
f**k a bunch of bigots and dipshits who look 'down' at these people just because they were not born here. Those f*****s are American now, only they had to EARN it.

I have incredible respect for the work ethic of mexicans.
What I despise is the lack of respect on the part of mexicans for the simple knowledge that not EVERYONE can come to the United States that wants to. We have a legal way of gaining entrance to this country, and many, many people abroad respect this system and follow it.

I have no problem with immigration, its illegal immigration that I cant stand. Why should we allow the poorest, least educated, and unskilled to come over instead of being more selective? The people coming over are a huge drain on our society. They usually pay no taxes, yet have kids in school for almost 10k a pop here in California and are crowding our hospitals because they can’t afford to go to a regular doctor when they get a cold.
I took my daughter into the ER a few weeks ago because she had a 104.4 temperature. We waited almost 4 hours to see a doctor, its getting freaking ridiculous.
If you are outside of Southern California and you are talking about illigal immigration, you don't know what you are talking about. Its getting very bad around here.

I met two of the coolest people in my life throughout high school, two brothers moved to my town from a little city in mexico that maybe had 40 people in it. They spoke no english and within two years spoke it fluently... the younger one graduated with honors and over a 3.5 gpa which is pretty f*****g amazing and they where not throw a rope or anything, they took the same classes as everyone else. They both went on to college and are some of the nicest people in our town, and when they do anything its hard work, and their mom makes the best food

So we should kick out all of the poor, uneducated, unskilled people? That wouldnt leave much.
As far as did they have taxes taken out of their check, well, to that extent I am not certain how it works with immigrant worker permits, but we did obtain those.
If you are restricted to Southern California, and you are talking about anywhere else, you dont know what you are talking about.
See, *I* dont know about SoCal, but out here we have Hospitals AND immediate med centers, all over the place. Oh wait, I DO know they have them, because I used to have a job processing insurance and took the calls from all over the country.
Just about anyone can walk right into the US if they are fleeing certain government forms by claiming political asylum. Mexico just happens to be a poor ass country with no signifigantly good or evil government to claim asylum from.
On this note, I am not suggesting all foreign people are good people one way or another, I am just relating my experiences.

I didn't say we should kick out people, I'm saying we shouldnt allow a flood of poor and uneducated to come to an overpopulated country that is already collapsing from its own weight. The people that come here illegally usually are not the rich or doctors of Mexico, but those that have nothing. Great that we get our strawberries for 10 cents less, but I and my children are being taxed a far greater amount to support them.
I read about how in Europe there is a huge technology push to increase farm productivity while the US, especially in California is not seeing the same increase in technology. Why? Well, why spend money on development when you can abuse the current slave class.
I am an electrical foreman, so I work daily with lots of illegals. Yes, they are good workers, yes I would call them friends. But, they don't belong here. Sadly, I think that it could be argued that a black slave in the south had a better standard of living than an illegal today. The only people winning in this current situation are the weathy bussiness owners.

Amen, got lots of family in heavily illegaly populated immigrants, and they respect the mexicans for the fact they are willing to work to support their families instead of letting us pay for it instead.
Give em 200 years though and they will milk the system too!

You guys dont get it, even if a illegal works he is making like 20k if he is lucky. If he has 4 kids thats 10k a pop, or 40k a year alone in schooling that we are paying for. Even if he is paid taking out taxes, at 20k that would be what, like $600? So its a net loss of at least 39k just in schooling alone.

Change laws to what? Close all borders entirely? I thought the point of changing the laws was to stop people from bilking the system and taking advantage of it, not from keeping people who are willing to take the necessary steps to achieve citizenship here from doing it.

This has nothing to do with illegal immigrants and everything to do with the severe nursing shortage in the U.S.
Oh, and that video is hilarious.

Not in the mood to explain the obvious. Odds are you would misunderstand and require further explanation, like happens with 99% of your requests for clarification.
Figure it out yourself.

If my request for clarification were genuine, you might have a point. You're just ranting, it's not like you're talking about anything realistic or probable. You still haven't gotten the concept of a rhetorical question down, I see.

The US is not even remotely close to over populated. We have some cities that are densely populated, and a tremendous amount of unused space towards the midwest.
First you say you dont like that we have 'uneducated poor people' coming in. Then you say you dont like that the US will pay to educate them.
How good do you think Mexican grade school is exactly?
Where exactly do you get your data about what the average illegal makes per year? 'Well it seems like...' doesnt count. The fact is, you have no idea what they make or dont make.
And which side of the fence are you sitting on? It must be the side that smells like b******t.
Mexican immigrants are the least threat to the jobs in the US. The big threat is all of the tech companies who moved overseas to places like India, laying off thousands upon thousands of EDUCATED AND SKILLED American workers...yet still call themselves an American company.
'They are taking our jobs' does not apply when they are taking jobs NO ONE ELSE will do.
'We are paying for their kids education' so what. Better they be educated than in prison.

I think in Southern California it has everything to do with illegal immigration. Looking around the ER it wasn't Soccer Moms with their kids waiting in the ER.

Are you going to a county hospital or something? I don't understand how this is relevant, regardless. If what you're saying is that your daughter wasn't being attended to because of the large number of Mexicans in the waiting room, let me ask you a few questions.
1. Are you certain everyone in that ER was undocumented or illegal? Or are you assuming they were just because they were browned skin?
2. Since when are ERs first come first serve? If someone comes in and they're bleeding, they're not going to be made to wait in line behind someone who has a sprained ankle.
3. You talk about ERs as if they're something that are generally abused. What you don't seem to understand is that until recently, there was no other medium of medical care, it's either call and make an appt 3 weeks out or go to an ER. There is no other option out there. Maybe it's unfortunate that people ave to come into the ER for every scrape and cut but that's how it is. It has nothing to do with immigration. I have insurance and if I can make appts to go to the doctor I go but what happens the night I broke my toe? I have to go to the ER. I don't have a f*****g choice. And if I get there and somebody's daughter has a 104 fever and she's been waiting there for an hour, I'm sorry it's not my fault. It's not like I enjoy having a broken toe or anything.
4. If your daughter was not triaged and admitted it's because the situation was not severe enough. I'm sorry to say it, but your anxiety as a parent was probably the bigger factor here and you were probably more apprehensive than normal because it was your daughter's health in question. Why are you blaming illegals for something that is really not in their influence anyways? It's not the number of immigrants that determines who gets treated and admitted at hospitals, it's the triage nurses. See the comment about the shortage of nurses in the country and you may be hitting a bit closer to the mark. I don't know if it's true, or how true it is, but that MAY be a little bit closer of an explanation than just lashing out at illegals half-assed.
Yes, it's a problem, but you seem to be hitting every wrong side of it.
-Nah-

How good do you think Mexican grade school is exactly?
Where exactly do you get your data about what the average illegal makes per year? 'Well it seems like...' doesnt count. The fact is, you have no idea what they make or dont make.
And which side of the fence are you sitting on? It must be the side that smells like b******t.
Mexican immigrants are the least threat to the jobs in the US. The big threat is all of the tech companies who moved overseas to places like India, laying off thousands upon thousands of EDUCATED AND SKILLED American workers...yet still call themselves an American company.
'They are taking our jobs' does not apply when they are taking jobs NO ONE ELSE will do.
'We are paying for their kids education' so what. Better they be educated than in prison. |
You would choose to ignore one problem because another is worse. I would rather take care of them all; spicigration is a big problem.

Amen. I don't believe that just because my parents made it across the fence, everyone else in the country does also. Did I luck out? Sure. Is life fair? Nope.
-Nah- |
We need to change the laws so things like you don't happen. |
Change laws to what? Close all borders entirely? I thought the point of changing the laws was to stop people from bilking the system and taking advantage of it, not from keeping people who are willing to take the necessary steps to achieve citizenship here from doing it.
-Nah- |
Not in the mood to explain the obvious. Odds are you would misunderstand and require further explanation, like happens with 99% of your requests for clarification.
Figure it out yourself. |
If my request for clarification were genuine, you might have a point. You're just ranting, it's not like you're talking about anything realistic or probable. You still haven't gotten the concept of a rhetorical question down, I see.
-Nah- |
Stupid mudbone f*g, its totally realistic and doable. In time it will happen, in time.

They busted their asses so much we kept them on for almost 5 years, helped them get to stay in the country, helped them get apartments etc. They spoke almost no english at first, and by the end of it I spoke some spanish and they spoke some english.
To date they were some of the most reliable, hardest workers I have ever seen. When they had cookouts on the weekends and shit they would get a lil buz workin and call me and or my dad up (his construction company) and sing to us. They called him Grandpa.
I have zero problems with immigrants coming over here to work.
I have way more issues with our citizens who sit on their f*****g ass and collect welfare while continuing to shit out babies from different fathers.
Until we found these guys we couldnt get any white or black americans to show up more than 2 days in a row for any price.
We paid our guys fair, and tought them a great deal of carpentry. Last I heard one of them had put a downpayment on a house and either had citizenship or was close to it, the language barrier was still there a bit and I was drunk when he told me.
f**k a bunch of bigots and dipshits who look 'down' at these people just because they were not born here. Those f*****s are American now, only they had to EARN it. |
I have incredible respect for the work ethic of mexicans.
What I despise is the lack of respect on the part of mexicans for the simple knowledge that not EVERYONE can come to the United States that wants to. We have a legal way of gaining entrance to this country, and many, many people abroad respect this system and follow it. |
