Immigration - October 2006

I belive they get paid by the heads they come back in with in their baskets. Same is true for other food crops.
I have heard from somewhat reputable sources that the pickers get a much higher wage than $5 an hour. They get paid quite well and I'm curious to know if anyone out there REALLY knows what they make.

Is anyone else shocked by all the prejudiced and racist questions being posed such as “what’s with all these immigrants?” and “Don’t us whites have it hard?” and “Ahh…why are people different from me allowed to live on my street?”

I can’t help but answer, and I try and construct a decent argument rather rant. But usually my anger shows through. I’m sure these people aren’t bad people, they probably just read the wrong papers. I feel that If I convince one person that pro-immigration isn’t p.c. gone mad I’ll consider it worth it. But am I just a partonising liberal softy who’s wasting his time?

I know from personal friends that the path to legalization in this country is a terrible process. It is far too expensive for many who want to start a new life. Also, the United States is very rigid on rescheduling dates once they assign you one. My friend received her date for fingerprinting in the mail 2 days before she was to appear in Miami (600 miles away). They only allow one reschedule, and again will allow for very little notice. This is the kind of **** that happens all the time in our system. Is it any wonder why we have such a large number of illegal immigrants? The majority of LEGAL citizens in this country would have trouble getting in.

And by the way, I'm white, Republican, and was born in this country...This is ridiculous though. Let's spend billions on a damn wall instead of working out the REAL problems.

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/16/us/16medicaid.html

More than 50 million Medicaid recipients will soon have to produce birth certificates, passports or other documents to prove that they are United States citizens, and everyone who applies for coverage after June 30 will have to show similar documents under a new federal law.
The requirement is meant to stop the "theft of Medicaid benefits by illegal aliens," in the words of Representative Charlie Norwood, Republican of Georgia, a principal author of the provision, which was signed into law by President Bush on Feb. 8.
In enforcing the new requirement, federal and state officials must take account of passions stirred by weeks of national debate over immigration policy. State officials worry that many blacks, American Indians and other poor people will be unable to come up with the documents needed to prove citizens

If you don't like read don't answer it's so long.A radio station in Houston has posted on its website two video clips of a Texas elementary school "diversity" assembly where a volunteer leads students in saying a pledge of allegiance to the Mexican flag.
Station KTRH has posted both a video clip showing elementary students cheering and waving Mexican flags, and a separate clip showing people the school described as volunteers leading students in the pledge in Spanish.
The story by Scott Braddock of KTRH notes that "whether students also recited the Mexican pledge remains a point of contention," however the audio clearly indicates that students are reciting the pledge along with the volunteer leader, because their voices can be heard finishing the final phrase well after the volunteer has finished.
As WND reported at the time, the event outraged parents and the principal at Velasco Elementary School said it was a "diversity" effort, but he would not do it again.
KTRH, which broke the story when the assembly was held a month ago, said it obtained the video from the school district under Texas open records laws.
On that station a month ago, callers were outraged.
"We absolutely refuse to stand up and pledge allegiance to another country's flag," a mother whose daughter attends the school told talk show host Chris Baker on AM 740 radio. "Where is the sensitivity to the country and to the troops and the men and women that have fought and died for this country?"
Several parents also told KTRH News students were joining in the pledge, but district officials said they did not.
District officials said the assembly was meant to teach children about Mexican Independence Day, which is celebrated on Sept. 16 to mark the day Mexico gained independence from Spain.
Longtime Velasco Principal Sam Williams said in hindsight he should have done things differently and apologized to those who were offended.
"As stated previously, and again verified with the campus administration this morning (Tuesday), the students did not say the Mexican pledge," school spokesman Stuart Dornburg told KTRH.
Those who watch the video will be able to judge for themselves.
A parent of a third-grader who wished to remain anonymous told the station that he was at the assembly and students were saying the pledge.
"I was telling them you don’t have to stand for the pledge of allegiance to the Mexican flag," he told the station.
"That's treason … you're not supposed to say the pledge of allegiance to any flag other than the American and Texas flags," the father said. "It broke my heart to see the kids doing that."
The earlier exchange between Baker, the talk show host, and a mother who identified herself as Amy reported school officials handed out Mexican flags and then the "volunteer" led the pledge.
Dornburg noted that Sept. 15 through Oct. 15 is National Hispanic Heritage Month and the assembly at the Clute school was planned by the Brazosport Independent School District as part of its cultural education and to show that the district values and respects diversity.
But Amy said she got "glares" when she didn't participate and when she "proudly" put the Mexican flag on the ground.
She said her husband was in Vietnam for three tours of duty, and she has a son in the war now.
In a report in The Facts, Williams said the response to his action was "overwhelming."
"It's been a real trying ordeal and all I can say is I deeply apologize if anyone was offended by it – and I can see that they are," the principal said
Officials say there are 635 students from preschool age to fourth grade in Velasco, and about two-thirds are Hispanic.
Baker said the recitation was especially offensive since the U.S. is in the middle of a serious dispute over illegal immigration and the huge ramifications the nation faces from not having a secured border with Mexico.
"To blow it off as quote-unquote 'historical teaching methods' either shows complete arrogance or a lack of the ability to grasp the seriousness of the illegal immigration issue to Americans," told his listeners.
On a weblog, a fan identified as El Jefe Maximo said, "What's needed is a dose of nationalism, with a pinch of religion, and I'd throw in a dash of evil old imperialism as well."

A man accused of driving drunk and killing a Mt. Juliet couple while fleeing from police in June pleaded not guilty in Davidson County Criminal Court Tuesday. Gustavo Reyes Garcia, 28, is charged with two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide, aggravated assault by reckless conduct, evading arrest and violation of the habitual offender law. Reyes, an illegal immigrant, was arrested at least 14 times but never deported, before being accused in the deadly wreck that killed Sean and Donna Wilson.Reyes case is among several serious incidents in recent years in which illegal immigrants have been arrested. The rash of crimes by foreigners prompted Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall earlier this year to apply for a federal program that would allow deputies to conduct immigration checks of all foreign-born people booked into the Metro jail. After this comment I want to know why he is not guilty, illegal or not, american or not if anybody has been arrested more than 14 times and is not guilty after killed two people in a vehicular homicide something serious happens in Davidson County Criminal Court.
. I’ll tell you someone else who is gutless and spineless and that’s Tennessee’s governor. He claims illegal immigration is a federal problem. I can assure you if that were his wife lying in a casket because some illegal alien with a rap sheet as long as your arm got drunk, ran from police and plowed into her car it would be a state issue. Thief, drunk, maimer, and now murderer. I guess Bush was right. Some of these illegals are doing the jobs Americans just won’t do.

U.S. APOLOGIZES to Drug smuggler by Sentencing border Patrol Agents to 12 and 11 years in prison.
Well……….If you think your Government will not fight to keep the borders OPEN for Terrorists, Drug smugglers, illegal aliens……think again.

These Agents didn’t do everything by the book…..and shot a drug smuggler in the butt as he ran back across the border………

They fired their weapon and didn’t file a report……so fire ‘em…and move on.

BUT NO…..
Somebody in Washington

who is worried we might actually start making trouble for the thousands of drug smugglers and illegal aliens pouring into our country, decided to make an example of them.

The Drug smuggler who was granted full immunity from prosecution Aldrete-Divila has already violated specific provisions of his immunity deal with the feds (suckers) by refusing to name all of the individuals who helped him with his smuggling escapades across the border.


Oh yeah……during the trial he was arrested again for drug smuggling but the Judge ruled the Jury could not be told…..

Yesterday someone answered my question by using "M-word". Saying that the word Mexican has become almost a racial slur, so people should us the M word instead of Mexican. Who else thinks the word Mexican is a racial slur? I think that if someone was born in Mexico than they are Mexican right?! Just like if your born in America your an American or in China your Chinese right!! So whats the deal with someone thinking it's racist? Who else thinks the whole thing is insane?

That have no desire to leave or come to the U.S.A? Most Mexicans stay in Mexico. Who said that most of Mexico's population is in the U.S? That's a bunch of ignorant talk from ppl. talking through their butts.
Mexico is a beautiful country with beautiful blue beaches and green landscape (not talking about Tijuana). Mexico's economy is larger than some european countries like Spain who "conquered", trashed, and looted Mexico but is still poorer than Mexico. Mexican women especially from northern Mexico are incredibly beautiful. Unfortunately, the ones who do come here and the ones YOU see are the dirt poor, uneducated ones who act well.......uneducated. The government in Mexico is VERY corrupt and needs to start taking care of those dirt poor ones instead of pocketing the money. What do you think?
