The end of the world as you knowit: Life after Mexicans

[Dr. Zaus]

I was positing on life after being over-run with illegals... well we have a test-case for this, it is called the Rio-Grande Valley (McAllen, Edinburg, Mission, Pharr...)

Nearly half of the population being first or zeroth generation American.

It is hard for my brother to find a job because he doesn't speak Spanish. Follow me here, it isn't that service oriented jobs require that he speaks Spanish, but even jobs that have no good reason to require Spanish speaking.

The reason? You have to be able to work with your co-workers. Many of whom don't speak english AND are legal US citizens.

On the plus side, the Mexican culture values not aspiring to a higher level than your parents did. We also have the highest per capita conviction rate of politicians, it is the natural state of the culture to give to friends and family.

It isn't so bad though... the average IQ is about 15pts below median and the cost of living is incredibly low, we have a per-capita income below 12k in my city.. but the I live in a 'university town' so those 1,100 professors off-set that a bit. The Fajita platters are great and despite being 300lbs I can often find people much more corpulent than I am walking around wall mart.

We are also well known for having the 'best' payouts in the nation when it comes to medical punitive damages; for example, the phen-phen/vioxx case was broken here because the first set of damages sets the tenor for the rest of the damages.

I think the only reason the Mexican drug lords don't run rough-shot over our local law enforcement is that people in Texas have guns and shoot back.

on the brighter side, they might handle Muslim extremists and jihadis better than the current left wing cool-aid drinking minority a$$ kissing bone headed clueless liberals.

Why would observing and reporting of facts lead to a lock of the thread?

And your observation is correct... I live near a city that is translated "kill the Moors"

Because facts are racist. Just like profiling.

This is like offshoring but inshoring. Basically labor arbitrage race to bottom. Rich don't mind it, they get richer off cheap labor they can't export, middle moves to white areas and get cheap lawn care, so it gets really no attention. just poorer people are hurt and a few racists.

 

[Zebo]

No It won't be end of world. USA will be like Mexico. Very nice Gated compounds, farms. ranches, no go areas for riff raff and the rest or country misery, crime and destitution. Mexico is really nice if you have money and so will USA be.

I KNEW it!! I KNEW it!!! I've had them in my crosshair for a long time, now finally I've had evidence they are guilty of the highest crime of being racist! Your word.

When I still worked in the human services/counseling field, do you know how many jobs I could not qualify for b/c I was not bilingual?? It was crazy; I met all the requirements except for not being able to speak Spanish fluently. It really narrows down the possibilities for certain fields of employment. I do not think it is exactly fair, but I suppose if the market demands it what can you do? Although it seems to me that it is better that those coming in should speak the language that is already established.

like i said, states near the mexican border (AZ/CA/TX, etc.) are going to be sad places to be in 15-20 years.

Something like "If you can't take something by force from the outside in, then take it by assimilation from the inside out ?"

Mexicans aren't a race and what is being discussed is completely true.

 

[dawp]

Texas, if not already, is well on its way to being majority hispanic. If ya don't like it, move out.

Wow, welcome to the realilty that is America. Back in 1973, in the Fort Lauderdale FL area, my ex-wife could not find a secretarial job for the same reason due to the Cubans. Big wanh! Oh of course they were anti-communist so that was OK.

The real problem is that there are no real jobs for what was and still are "just High School graduates". The wealthy decided for us, unlike the big bad gubment, that they have no use for losers that only do manual labor and decided to write off a major chunk of our society. Those "genius" weathy for some reason, thought that they could write off that portion of our society and no longer needed consumerism to make their weath anymore and use the world as their next roulette wheel of exploitation. Problem is as they exploit the rest of the world for their wealth, they are going to have to build more gated enclaves and hire more security guards to keep the unwashed away from them. Thus they plead for tax breaks to pay for all that burden they have to put up with. It's so ruff carrying the weight of the losers on your shoulders.

What? I'm not racist nor bias against Hispanics; my wife and children are Hispanic and I consider myself culturally 3rd generation American-Hispanic (or maybe I just don't see a hairs-breath of difference between a 3rd generation 'Hispanic-American' and any other white American)

I'm simply reporting that the unfettered allowance of Mexican immigration has lead my local region into being one of the most impoverished and poorly educated places in the nation.

It is also hard for non bilinguals to gain employment because of the large Spanish speaking population.

I could see how an ignorant person would think that my statement "Mexican culture values not aspiring to a higher level than your parents did. " was racist.

To the contrary, I have taken an number of courses in international business and assure you that my statement is based on empirical evidence, not racially motivated conjecture.

To be completely factual, though, a "Fajita platter" is actually called a Botana platter.

I think the only reason the Mexican drug lords don't run rough-shot over our local law enforcement is that people in Texas have guns and shoot back.

This is the only conjecture I have offered. There are many gun-denied Mexicans shot dead, daily, not 18miles away from my house. They aren't shot dead by gun-crazed Texans but by the criminals with guns called 'drug lords' or the criminals with guns and badges called 'officers'.

Did you know that the police in Mexico do not have to be literate and that the local police are used as a training ground for the Mexican drug cartels?

We've had a scant-few shootings here; mostly Mexicans that escaped across the boarder... but I assure you, the violence stays mostly on the other side of the boarder because the Mexicans know we will shoot back at them if they come over here.

Also, how is the nationality of Mexican a race of any kind? That is so ignorant! There are Jews, Whites, Blacks, Native north-Americans, Japanese, Chinese and so forth that are full-fledged Mexicans from birth.

Loitering outside of the local nursery waiting for your hombres to drive you to some middle/upper class white dude's home is a service job. Does your brother also have an IQ 15 points below average, or is he just one of those lazy, uneducated people, unhappy with what are perceived to be threats to his lifestyle?

This does not happen here. The illegal immigrants go directly to homes to offer services, they would never wait-around to be picked up because no one would come.
