Immigration - August 2006

who they are of what they stand for. I have met some of the nicest people that have been from countries from Peru and Brazil. Also other countries from south america. Why is everyone so generalized and don't view people from person to person?

So, do all you pro-criminal, La Raza lovin', Mecha enthusiasts, "Reconquesta" believers, remember the American spirit that united this nation after 9/11. Remember, that day that these terrorists insulted our people, and attempted to put fear in us? That was the day that thousands of men and women joined the armed forces to stand up, that was the day that all Americans were united!!! If you think you are going to take ANY part of our country, I think you better put your memory into overdrive, cause we Americans, we have pride, and we have fight in us. We don't run (illegally to another country) when our welfare and homeland are threatened, we stand united. We will fight! Remember? United we stand!!!!

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Is True ? The vast majority of illegal immigrants in America are Mexican, who were once proverbial for laziness and crime, but now are championed by the liberal media (NY Times) and neoconservative media (Wall Street Journal) as hard-working Americans.




Statistics, however, show otherwise. A recent study by the Pew Hispanic Center reveals the following:
(1) Hispanics are 3 times more likely than non-Hispanics to receive welfare

(2) Hispanics account for 3/4 of the increase in poverty in the USA

(3) 45% of Hispanic children are born out of wedlock

(4) Hispanic women are 2.54 times more likely to than white women to have abortions

(5) Hispanic men are 9 times more likely than white men to beat their partners

(6) Hispanics are 3 times more likely than whites to die of AIDS

(7) They are 4 times more likely to die of tuberculosis

(8) Hispanics are 2 times more likely to be incarcerated than non-Hispanics

(9) They are 3.8 times more likely to be in prison for murder than non-Hispanics

(10) Hispanic youth are 19 times more likely to be in gangs

(11) Hispanics are 3 times more likely than non-Hispanics to drop out of high school

(12) 55% of Mexican-Americans consider themselves to be Mexican first

A few days ago someone claimed that the illegal Mexicans will take over America. I was angered by the claim. and I consider that person as a traitor to America. if someone claims such a thing would that anger you? I am very dissappointed of that person, and the thought that they call themselves American, just angers me even more.Would you consider that person a traitor? and how would you feel about the claim?

Ther I was sittiing in the strip club in Tijuana, when this pretty little mexican girl struts onto the stage, dang was she hot, I slipped her pesos all night, it was great! Soon we were talking and having a couple of carne asada tacos and Coronas, it wasnt long before she made me an offer I couldnt refuse, after some very heated time together she asked me if I could bring her to America. Well,I thought to myself, she is quite the hot tamale, it can't be that hard to sneak her across the border. So I called my uncle Hose B and asked him if he could handle it, I would have called uncle Hose A but he was out of town, anyway Hose B said no problem we got a load going across tonight, since I am family I got a discount on the deal and it only cost me a 12 pack of Coronas. Since border patrol is busy in court it wasnt a problem getting her across. Now she is here in America locked in my house doing all the cooking, cleaning, and I get a free strip show every night, what a country!

less fortunate. However, these people don't mind serving the upper class as a matter of fact they love to do it because you pay them and they are very loyal and appreciative of it. These unfortunate people are the ones obviously that are trying to come here illegaly to the U.S. for obvious reasons. Now, wouldnt be good for american society to allow these people to come work here (and yes legally) to do the same types of work they do in their country? My point is this; middle class america could benefit from help all across the nation. Just imagine you housewives or mothers to have extra help in your kitchen,cooking meals, babysitting your children meanwhile you'll have more time to concentrate on bringing up your children right. Middle class Americans citizens would then become first class citizens compared to other countries. Trust me on this one people, many and I mean many middle class americans do this already in all walks of lifes including public service people voted by you.

While walking in Paris, I discovered a horrible truth. We killed 6 million Jews and replaced them with 20 million muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced intelligent people who changed the world and contributed in science,art, international trade, medicine.etc. Under the pretence of tolerance and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we open our gates to 20 million muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty due to an unwillingess to work and support their families with pride. They burn down they own neighborhoods but yet still receive free housing and plan the murder and destruction of their new hosts. WE have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, intelligence for backwardness. They are consumed by the desire of death for themselves and others for our children and theirs.

sqwirlsgirl an employee at the McDonald's on Dick Chaney Road, was arrested by Police last Tuesday, accused of selling a Big Mac to an undercover policewoman posing as a illegal alien
sqwirlsgirl, a high schooler who works at McDonald's after school to earn spending money, was led away in cuffs with tears running down her face.
"That lady comes through the drive-through all the time," she said. "I thought it was weird when she said into the microphone, 'I am a illegal alien and I would like a Big Mac,' but people say all kinds of strange stuff. I just got her food, and then they arrested me."
"It wasn't just a Big Mac; it was a combo, with fries and a Coke," noted Police Chief "Providing nutrition to illegal aliens is directly abetting their illegal activities," the chief added. Later that same week, police arrested again (sqwirlsgirl ) Shur Brite Car Wash employee sqwirlsgirl after she allegedly washed, waxed and vacuumed a car being driven by an undercover police officer posing as a illegal alien.
"This guy came in and said in this real loud voice, 'I am a illegal alien and I would like my ride detailed,' " said. "I just thought, you know, 'Whatever, dude. Just tell me what you want done.' " After the detailing was complete, sqwirlsgirl was arrested and booked on charges of aiding and abetting an illegal alien
"No self-respecting illegal alien will ride around in a dirty car, and these car washes are a real piece of the vice puzzle in La," sqwirlsgirl said. "And this is a puzzle that I intend to solve. I'm going to clean this place up, just like I did in Texas. Will sqwirlsgirl solve the puzzle ?

I saw another question where someone said that there's a difference between being a criminal and being illegal.

Wouldn't the argument be easier if we stopped using euphemisms, and started simply referring to them as what they are? Criminal immigrants?

Actually, in retrospect, maybe 'criminal invaders' would be more appropriate.

Alas, one change at a time. Liberal minds need to take things nice and slow. God forbid you throw any numbers at them.

Several years ago when the first wave of Hmong immigrants arrived in my town, the government built 10 houses and provided cheap rent for them for awhile so they could get settled in. This is good for the immigrants, it will allow them to get on their feet and find work and such. The houses they built were not fancy but they were nice, and everything in their neigborhood was clean and well kept for awhile. It has been five years now and the places are a disaster. Every house has all the copper and windows ripped out and sold and there are so many junk cars and garbage near the houses it makes the entire 5 block radius an eye sore. None of them work, and the neigborhood is now a crime filled drug den and the mayor and governor have done nothing to stem this parasitism. A person in town petitioned the city council to demand a cleanup and the city dismissed it immideatly. It is the same in many towns around mine and it is getting sickening. Does anyone have a similar story or problem?
