you should go to the Vietnam memorial in DC and look at all the Hispanic names...
Its not only Americans who serve, there are immigrants in the services too.

Why? Why would you all feed his taste for such an uproar? He clearly is either ignorant or simply wants to stir up a fuss. Why give it to him? Answer the question or don't say anything at all.
Answer: I believe that now is the time to elect politicians who will fight for the rights of ALL Americans. Not just those who fought. You seem to think that this path we are on as a nation will lead us into a country that has been taken over by Mexicans. So, by stating that, you clearly do not believe in the power of change and that time (like a pendelum) will swing back and forth in everchanging sweeps.
I do hope that you look at Mexico. I hope you see that they are desperate for the United States to take them over. This would clearly give them many benefits and such.
I am against this for many reasons. I do not feel that they should be able to get in so easily. ANYONE, should be able to wait in line like everyone else. Mexicans (who are not the only ones) decide to cross the borders and take shortcuts. This is a violation of our law. As such, it angers me to see them protected.
Do you know that San Francisco wants to have a tax that pays for illegal immigrants' green cards and citizenship? How outrageous. Who else can boast such a claim?
America was founded on certain principles. These principles are now being exaggerated, exploited, and covered up by the United States today. It is not just our governments fault. It is our fault as well. We are not a nation. We have not yet come over this segregational barrier of race, religion, ideas and such that has kept us apart so long. Compromise is not as bad as it sounds.
Please America, take a minute to put down your pointing fingers, and step in front of a mirror. Look and think about our problems. Are they not repetitions of the past?

Umm... how about the Mexicans were here first? They founded Santa Fe in 1609... San Antonio in 1691, Albuquerque in 1706, San Deigo in 1769, Los Angles in 1771, Monterey was a late comer as was in 1770, as was San Francisco in 1776. San Augustine Florida was founded by the Spanish in 1565... over 40 years before Jamestown and over 50 years before the Mayflower.
So while your family was back in Europe, freezing to death in drafty cottage, hiding from military recruiters, wondering what sister and brother were doing up in the hayloft together all day, and generally proving that it is indeed a sad thing when cousins marry, the Mexicans were out here and fighting Indians building farms, raising cattle, founding cities, and generally carving a country out of the wilderness.

Give you the same answer I gave this question about a month ago.
I won't have to tell them anything.
Either this will still be our country or I will be dead.
Edit: Orale , thankfully I don't believe in all that heaven and hell crap. But if I did, I wouldn't worry about a Mexican Heaven, The good ones would go to the everybody Heaven and the Bad ones will be stuck with you in the Mexican Hell.
According to all those religious people, even Heaven has strict immigration policies, you need to be screened and follow the rules before entering, imagine that.
Oh well, I bet neither of us will ever have to worry about whether Heaven is real or not.

Wait. Let me get this straight: you're upset because Mexicans are 'taking over' America? You're upset because we're not "defending" the memory of the people who upheld everything that makes this country great?
I'm sorry--are you sure we're talking about the same country? Because, as far as I knew, the Statue of Liberty reads, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free."
And I can't be QUITE certain--as you seem to be--but if I'm not mistaken, we "fought and died" for a country that was stolen from the original inhabitants of this land. In fact, a majority of our patriotism and belief in manifest destiny is just an ill-disguised cover for our hypocrisy, greed and classcism.
So, please, spare me--and this nation--your soap-boxing. It's people like you who will keep us headed down the road toward racism, idiocy and close-minded bigotry that the rest of the enlightened world knows and hates us for.
I think the real question is, what will you tell your grandchildren when they ask you why you perpetrated and encouraged an atmosphere of intolerance, pig-headedness and foolishness.
I can guarantee you, my answer will be much different from yours because I happen to recognize the difference between progress and the downfall of what makes America great.
And, in case you're wondering, immigration, tolerance and pursuit of a better life is EXACTLY what makes this nation wonderful.

What Americans? The Irish immigrants that escaped the hardship of the Potato famine and IMMIGRATED and fought to keep this country together? The Italian, Russian, German, Greek, among many others, who took flight from disease, poverty and war and IMMIGRATED just so that they could fight against their ancestors in WWI? The countless African slaves that were ILLEGALY smuggled to this continent and who toiled for years to allow this country to grow ecomically?
What Im gonna tell my grandkids is that; "You see, this is why we live in Spain; Mexico's poor/rich divide has been caused by its closed immigration policy and when I immigrated to the US, they closed the door on me." Then Ill turn the tv to news of Civil war in the US and another revolution in Mexico...

being Mexican-American currently in the Army i will be speaking to them in English since by then they wont be able to speak Spanish like myself. It will go a little something like this, a bunch of tards in my day were scared that this country would be part of Mexico and they will say im crazy cause no one is that stupid to believe that. immigrants eventually assimilate to their new country

I would tell them that the American people became lazy and did nothing but sit around and complain all the time. Soon it was learned that the Hispanic workers were much harder workers and never complained about anything. They LOVE our country.
Honesty is the best policy.

Because that is where WE got ours!
The Repubs haven't done anything in 12 years, and I bet you vote Republican!
And we stole Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California FROM Mexico. The Alamo is a shrine to American Illegals in Mexico!
