Immigration - April 2007

I could never get this - We have people living on welfare and foodstamps because they claim they can't get a job, yet we are hiring workers from other countries to do these jobs. What happened to performing a day's honest work?
Before I starting renovating and flipping houses, I worked every job immaginable from picking strawberries, waiting tables, and cleaning houses. There's no shame in hard work. So why can't welfare recipiants do the same type of work? Why are we paying them to sit on their butts?

Ask that any and all illegal immigrants go to there local post office and register.Add them all to the tax basis after proof of occupational employment and a fixed address. Treat them like any other labor force and include them in this nations population..just like our immigrant forbearers.

Everyone is so focussed on keeping out those rotten immigrants overruning our great country. I agree, but I wanted to take a moment to celebrate the heritage(sp) of all us true Americans who were always here from the start. So what kind of native American are you?

I asked my mom what kind of indian we are? she kinda looked at me funny, and said we are from the "newajersan" tribe. I guess that makes sense since we live in new jersey.

So what indian tribe are you from?

I am so proud to be true american, not a fake imigrant. Once we make a law stopping all imigrantion, then only us true natural americans will be here, who were here from the start. God Bless America !

My brother went through a huge tragedy. He escaped from our country (Pakistan) and came to Mexico in order to save his life. Some human smuggler cut a deal to send him from Tijuan to San Diego. The human smuggler told him that they have connections with Custom and Immigration at the port of entry. Last August they sent him to the Border ensuring him that their immigration officer is working to day, you go there, he will ask you your citizenship and will send you in the main office. In the main office they will ask you the same question and they will let you go since it is a code word between them. My brother believed in them and got caught at the border. The immigration made two cases against him. One False US citizenship claim and other immigration violation. The federal prosecutor made a plea deal with my brother that he accepts False US citizenship charges and he will get time serve. He did that. He applied for asylum, his case got rejected. He is permanently barred tocome to USA.

You don't have to. people in America speak all kinds of languages and their culture stick together plus we got news in their language. America... well not America but American corporations are very good at making people from different languages understand what they're saying.

I don't know how everybody else feels about it, but to me I
Think Hispanic people in this country, legally or illegally,
Made a huge public relations mistake with their recent demonstrations.

I don't blame anybody in the world for wanting to come to the
United States of America, as it is a truly wonderful place.

But when the first thing you do when you set foot on American soil is illegal it is flat out wrong and I don't care how many lala land left heads come out of the woodwork and start trying
To give me sensitivity lessons.

I don't need sensitivity lessons, in fact I don't have any-thing against Mexicans! I just have something against criminals and anybody who comes into this country illegally is a criminal
And if you don't believe it try coming into America from a foreign country without a passport and see how far you get. What disturbs me about the demonstrations is that it's tantamount to saying, "I am going to come into your country even if it means breaking your laws and there's nothing you can do about it."

It's an "in your face" action and speaking just for me, I don't like it one little bit and if there were a half dozen pairs of gonads in Washington bigger than English peas it wouldn't be happening.

Where are you, you bunch of lily livered, pantywaist, forked tongued, sorry excuses for defenders of The Constitution? Have you been drinking the water out of the Potomac again?
And even if you pass a bill on immigration it will probably be so pork laden and watered down that it won't mean anything anyway Besides, what good is another law going to do when you
Won't enforce the ones on the books now?

And what ever happened to the polls, guys? I thought you folks were the quintessential finger wetters. Well you sure ain't paying any attention to the polls this time because somewhere around eighty percent of Americans want some thing done about this mess, and mess it is and getting bigger everyday.

This is no longer a problem, it is a dilemma and headed for being a tragedy. Do you honestly think that what happened in France with the Muslims can't happen here when the businesses who hire these people finally run out of jobs and a few million disillusioned Hispanics take to the streets?

If you, Mr. President, Congressmen and Senators, knuckle under on this and refuse to do something meaningful it means that you care nothing for the kind of country your children and grand-children will inherit. But I guess that doesn't matter as long as you get re-elected.
Shame on you.
One of the big problems in America today is that if you have the nerve to say anything derogatory about any group of people (except Christians) you are going to be screamed at by the media and called a racist, a bigot and anything else they can think of to call you

Well I've been pounded by the media before and I'm still rockin' and rollin' and when it comes to speaking the truth I fear not.
And the truth is that the gutless, gonadless, milksop politicians are just about to sell out the United States of America because they don't have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to face reality.

And reality is that we would never allow any other group of people to have 12 million illegal in this country and turn around and say, "Oh it's ok, ya'll can stay here if you'll just allow us to slap your wrist."

And I know that some of you who read this column are saying "Well what's wrong with that?"
I'll tell you what's wrong with it. These people could be from Mars as far as we know. We don't know who they are, where they are or what they're up to and the way the Congress is going we're not going to.

Does this make sense? Labor force you say? We already subsidize corporate agriculture as it is, must we subsidize their labor as well?
If these people were from Haiti would we be so fast to turn a blind eye to them or if they were from Somalia or Afghanistan ?
I think not.

All the media shows us are pictures of hard working Hispanics who have crossed the border just to try to better their life.
They don't show you pictures of the Feds rounding up members of MS 13, the violent gang who came across the same way the decent folks did. They don't tell you about the living conditions of the Mexican illegal some fat cat hired to pick his crop.

I want to make two predictions.

No. 1: This situation is going to grow and fester until it erupts in violence on our streets while the wimps in Washington drag their toes in the dirt and try to figure how many tons of political hay they can make to the acre.

No 2: Somebody is going to cross that border with some kind of weapon of mass destruction and set it off in a major American city after which there will be a backlash such as this country has never experienced and the Capitol building in Washington will probably tilt as Congressmen and Senators rush to the other side of the issue.

I don't know about you but I would love to see just one major politician stand up and say, "I don't care who I make mad and I don't care how many votes I lose, this is a desperate situation and I'm going to lead the fight to get it straightened out."
I don't blame anybody for wanting to come to America , but if you don't respect our immigration laws why should you respect any others?
And by the way, this is America and our flag has stars and stripes Please get that other one out of my face.

God Bless America

My uncle was deported to Colombia 3 years ago. He was detained by INS and deported basically because he came to USA and over-stayed his visitor´s visa. He didn´t have any criminal charges. He is facing a 10 year bar.

I saw one post where a guy put

Spanish+Indian= mexican
Indian=Indian

That is the most logical answer I've heard so far. But a real mexican is not of Spanish descent. The word MEXICO comes from the Nahuatl word Mexitl, which is the navel of the moon.

Also, the word Aztec is not a word that the "Aztecs" used to describe themselves. According to what I have read, they called themselves Mexicas (Mesheekas). This is only what I've read though, I can't be sure, I wasn't alive back then.
