Immigration - October 2006

Matthew 25 (NIV)
34"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' 37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' 40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

so for all opposed to building a wall on the border of MEXICO and the USA (which no matter what you say is america owned and always will be)

Will you one, tear down your fance in your back yard and front if you have one? are you not discriminating against your neighbor, since that is what you are trying to say.

will you leave your window and doors open and give me a list of all your address so i can just walk in uninvited?

will you feed me, cloth me, let me get your girls preguant and then run off wiht out being upset?

now can you answer all these questions that you seem to say americans are racist about?

Why anti illegals seem racist to Mexicans.

See table 7 and 8
table 8-Legal immigrants
This shows over 2 million mexicans and 20,000 to 900,000 from other North American countries.
table 7-Estimated Illegal immigrants
This shows est. over 7000000 of ILLEGAL mexican immigrants compared to a few hundred thousand of immigrants from other countries.
Also, it shows that the last few years, there are FEWER LEGAL immigrants than before. Perhaps because its the easy way and the lazy way. But they are such hard workers.
---So do you still wonder why it seems racist to mexicans to speak on illegals? And maybe you get offended if you are mexican because you KNOW these facts?

And I just can't wait for someone to say how I don't get my facts or how I need to do my homework or whatever, or tell me I am racist just for putting out the facts.

I've read all the arguments about how illegal immigration is a crime just like rape and murder and theft. It IS a crime defined by our human law but it is NOT a crime defined by God's law. The other crimes mentioned above are included under the "thou shalt not's" of the Ten Commandments. I cannot find anywhere in the Bible where God opposes illegal immigration. In fact there are several places where God tells people to GO TAKE THE LAND! Joshua marched around the walled city of Jerico (hmmm...still wanting to build that WALL?) for seven days and simply by blowing his trumpet the walls fell and they took over the city. The Israelites who wandered in the desert for 40 years, God told them to go take the land of the Palestinians. They disobeyed and there has been civil unrest & war in the Mid East ever since.

I have been called a "bleeding-heart liberal" in this forum for my stance on illegal immigration. So how would all you Christian conservatives (of which I am 1) answer this?

I don't know exactly how to word the question. But something that I find really annoying living in the U.S. is that most Americans think all Mexicans are the same.

But Mexicans coming to the US, in the majority, are low class Mexicans with little educational background and from the rural areas.

Yet, many people seem to think all Mexicans are like that or have to be like that.

Sometimes, people are surprised that I'm Mexican... because I'm different. But that bothers me, because Mexico is just like any other country, with educated people and uneducated people. Nice people and rude people and so on.

Who would be the most to migrate? well, obviously the poorer.

Its like if all those American people like the ones from Jerry Springer migrated to lets say ... Europe. Then people at Europe might think that all Americans are like that. But that wouldn't be true.

What do you think? That happens a lot? I think so, but I'm open to answers/comments. Please be respectful.

Do any of you know this about immigration?? It is a 2-5 year wait for people from countries who are of color. AND it is a 15 year plus wait for light skinned race countries???

So tell us again how the US is racist. Yeah, against whites.

I will just be trying to make a better life for my family. It isn't my fault that there is no jobs in my area that aren't already filled by illegal immigrants. If I don't do this my family will starve and we won't be able to buy gas to heat our trailer. Why would an employer want to hire me? I've worked my way up to management twice in less than a year. I've never been on a government aid program. I worked 69 1/2 hours a week at my last job which is shutting it's doors sometimes next year. My job will be gone by dec 23 of this year though.Why would an employer willingly let a illegal go and train a citizen.Is it any worse selling drugs to support your family than coming to this country illegaly to support you family?Drugs dealers don't always sell drugs that kill people just like illegals aren't always bad people.What are my options. It just makes me wonder why I have tried to live my life right. How many others will be looking for jobs out of the 300 others who are layed off

I mean, please! 4,000 innocent American citizens are murdered every year by illegal aliens, another 150,000+ (estimated) are robbed. Billions of dollars in our tax money is lost to social assistance and law enforcement, why should we accept this crap! Almost every other country in the world vigorously protects and defends their borders, why should we be different??

They come from all over the world. They get here illegaly, legaly and then turn illegal because they do not leave when visa is over and they will continue to come by every which means. Remember that you and your family is here because immigration (legal or illegal) and for those that will not allow their families to mix with illegals, how are you to know? THEY DO NOT HAVE A RACE. Embrace reality and contibute to the human race by doing something positive in your family, home and society.

If you are sick of the illegal immigration debate, I would suggest going to another topic.

If you are pro illegal, I would suggest you try living somewhere else since you disrespect the laws here.

If you want to wave the flag of your country and destroy our flag, I would suggest that you go home to the land you LOVE.

Some people need it all spelled out to them.

I told pro illegals to not make excuses for ILLEGALS like they are constantly making. "but the whites had slaves, was that ok?" I just said quit making that excuse and provided facts to back it up.

Then I was told that my facts were wrong. There are lots of blacks in america sweetie, but there are still areas where there are no blacks at all. Maybe you lived in an area in mexico where there were no blacks. But gee, how do you think a lot of hispanics and mexicans are darker??? Got a clue??? It said 75% are decendants of african or indian slaves. Is that a darker race??? I guess it needs spelled out to some people.

Also, an excuse for illegals being "oh, you are racist." Illegals is not a race, illegals can come from everywhere. Mexico is used because they think they have an invitation ever since 1980's when they got amnesty.

The question is.....why make excuses for criminal activity??? Do you make the same excuses for rape, murder, identity theft, stealing???

The best thing is try to educate yourself to the culture of these people and enrich your lives with knowledge of the world. Step out of the wall you placed yourself in and get to know the world around you. They are here and here to stay forever. One day you too will have one of these people as a kin of yours. Be happy and welcome them.

I was challenged to prove my last question.
Slavery IN MEXICO
Over 75 percent of modern Mexico's population, have at least one Indian or Mulatto ancestor. The vast majority of them were slaves.

75%!!!!!!!!! Much more than the 7% of todays black americans who are decendants of slavery!!!!!!

Modern Day Slavery!!!!!

Laws on IMMIGRATION TO MEXICO!!
http://www.mexconnect.com/mex_/immigration.html

As far as white women being sold to Mexico. Happened in the 1700's and 1800's, so you--should do your homework and study your history because I HAVE!!!

So AGAIN I say to illegals AND Pro-illegals--QUIT MAKING EXCUSES for your CRIMES in the US!! You did the same things that they did back then and even more and are STILL doing them.

It seems LIKE Mexico is RACIST for having CURRENT Guatemalen Slaves--so what do you think of that? Then call us US citizens racist--do we have slaves at all????

Of their ancestors that enslaved both Indigenous americans & Africans.

Of their ancestors that raped their Indian women.

Of their ancestors that took all the gold, silver and natural resources they could load aboard their ships and took it back to Spain

Of their contemporaries that think all "white people" are racist. Don't they realize that thinking that all the people of one race (white people) have exactly the same attitudes and thoughts is the definition of racism?

Of the "leaders" of the various Latin American countries that continue with the kleptocratic ways of their founding Spanish ancestors and steal the wealth and prosperity of their own countries, making it necessary for so many to emigrate to the US.

Of those Latin American countries that even today treat migrants from other Latin American countries far worse than the US has ever done.

Of those latins that even as they enjoy the blessings of this country (US) feel it necessary to continually bash it.

and really i don't know how many years we will be apart, but we want to have a child and this is making us have to wait for that, my question is if we choose to have a baby in mexico will this only add a ton of crazy documents to the already large amount we have to deal with now, and also as i understand the way the INS likes to find ways to add as many years of waiting as they can to make people just give up, will having a baby out of this country really just add more years to our crazy wait? i am really disapointed with immigration so far , they tell us to do things and then take away years of our life span together for doing as they told us to do, and really i just don't want to trust them anymore because they enjoy hurting people, so i am asking anyone out their that could have a heart and tell me the truth about what to do about this, because i really don't want to be pushed to go around the immigration service but its my life im talking about, what would you do?

But didn't Congress pass the Secure Fences Act of 2006 authorizing funds for that fence? And didn't the President sign it into law?

No... That is just a nice election year fable.

Here is the truth…

Yes, the Secure Fences Act of 2006 which passed both houses of Congress -- is sitting in some “In Box”... if it has reached the White House, it must be lost on President Bush's desk!

The President did sign an appropriations bill that allocates $1.2 billion in funding to the Department of Homeland Security – funds that you and your fellow Americans were led to believe was earmarked for the construction of the fence!

The truth??!!! Read that appropriations bill and discover they authorized $1.2 billion ON AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT BILL which DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SPENT ON THE FENCE AT ALL!

If the AMNESTY and OPEN BORDERS politicians win the majority in the House, the amnesty flood of illegal aliens over the border will surely inundate our nation.

Our borders are not secured and our grossly undermanned Border Patrol will continue to be overwhelmed. The chain migration of family members of those who have entered America illegally from throughout the world, who will then be eligible to sponsor in their family members also is an invasion. And so it will continue until America is colonized and balkanized, and no longer “from many nations, one people,” but instead a polyglot, factionalized mess of competing, even warring, international special interests with divided loyalties.

This is a national security disaster of catastrophic proportions and an unsustainable burden upon taxpaying American citizens. We will be the ones who pick up the tab for social programs, education, criminal incarceration, and the fallout from gangs and terrorists coming across the border – and those already in our country.
