Ok, first of all, i have a biased opinion on the immigration
bill and policies that are being hashed out in DC
atm. i’ve worked with several
Hispanic people and i maintain and enjoy my relationships with almost all of
them. i miss some of my good friends i’ve worked and lost contact with
actually. ... Although i am biased, i think can back up my views fairly simply.
People have always looked to the United States to fulfill their
dreams and visions of a better life. That's how we advertize
oursleves to the World for heck sakes! People with hope for a better life will
always migrate to where they feel is the best place to fulfill that hope and dream for themselves and
their families. The freaking pilgrams did. Even before they arrived from England to kick
the native Indians out of their own land, they migrated for the same reasons. They were in a really crappy situation. So they made a conscious
decision, knowing and understanding the consequeses: death and the unknown. But
they also had hope. (just like those risking crossing the borders) …
Too bad the
American indians didn’t have an immigration bill. … or minute men patrolling the shores to kick the arses of the silly
conquistadores. …
First of all, if you enter into the United States illegaly, technically, yes this makes you a
criminal. The same way J-walking, and not coming to a complete stop, or driving
faster than the legal limit technically makes you a criminal. i know, i know. But they’re illegal ryan!...
yada yada yada. What i want to know is how it’s affecting you. is it? how? Or
are you just upset that people in really shitty situations are just trying to
find a better place and life? In my eye, that’s what this all boils down to.
The minute men patroling the border are nothing more than moderate racists, some of them even fly the rebel flag at their rallies. ... if
they have legitimate issues about jobs being lost because of people crossing
the border, i say, get a freaking education, hick. Or in other words, ‘Cry more
n00b’. You were born in the US. A better
chance of education and oportunity to progress, get a real job, one that you
use your knogg’n instead of your back and hands. But since you didn’t take
advantage of it, someone who has a stronger drive just may take your job on the
farm. And i hope that someone, illegal immigrant or legal immigrant, takes your job.
Simple rule of economics and the wild. The strong will survive, and the weak
won’t. So just shutup and take it. or do something to help yourself instead of
complaining about Juan who works harder and more efficient than you and takes
your job because he has the drive and vision of a better life.
Sure there are the arguments about illegal immigrants in the
jail system, and somehow taking advantage of wellfare. But the fault lies on
the business’ that are giving them jobs. Plain and simple. if the gov would
just crack down on the idiots that keep hiring and paying these people under
the table the illegal immigrant situation wouldn’t be a situation or a problem
at all. Doing anything other than that is just lame. The real reason why they
come here is because they can get jobs. Make the employers accountable and the
problem is fixed. Plain, simple, and LEGAL. And as a side note, many illegal
immigrants are issued legitimate checks. .. with TAXES and SS taken out if it! So
take that and shove it in your ‘taking advantage of the system’ hole.
For some reason, or
curse, i was born in the US. But just ‘cause i got the better part of the celestial lotto and was born in
good ole Utah instead of iraq, iran, or anywhere in most of North Africa, or anywhwere else for that matter, doesn’t
particularly make me better or worse of a person than the next guy. What right
do i have to keep someone from trying
to make a better life for his/her family? ‘Cause that’s what it’s all about.
Spew your statistics and your rants about criminals and Hispanics waiving the Mexican
flag, but the truth is the great majority of immigrants are hard
working mothers and fathers just trying to make a better life for their
families. And i am, and will never be, in a situation to pass judgment on
someone because of their race, color or nationality.
Although i do reserve the right to pass judgement on
anything else that anyone says, does, or believes. But that’s because we all
have the right to judge. But the judging should be about an individual. Not race,
color, or any other silly generalization.
Fix the source of the problem, the business’ that employ the
illegals, and leave the racism to you and yours if that's what you really believe.
