So I say embrace the next wave of immigrants because the only people that are true Americans are the Native Americans.

Are you an immigrant?

Because they don't know how to freakin speak any English!

And then they go work as a waiter and can't understand what I ask them.

Or they work at Taco Bell, and get the freakin order wrong... twice.

I don't need this BS.

You know, not to be racist or anything, but:


I understand what the KKK was all about know, they were afraid that their lifestyle was changing and did something based on that feeling.

I'm not gonna go kill people, but I don't want to hear people talking spanish on an American radio. You think you're so cool, advertising the fact that you are Hispanic - go kill yourself.

I hate proud countries that go into other countries and rub it in your face. Usually the most proud and the ones from the countries with the least amount of power and money.

I don't want to hear that crap. I don't care so stop annoying me about it. I can already tell from your face and your inability to speakin english that you are a retard. No offense to all Hispanic people.

And yes, I am an immigrant who wants to keep it english. I'm not gonna bother myself so you can have it easy.

because the mexicans normally come here illegally, and then live off of the govt.

Most do jobs that most Americans wouldn't do.

How many young adults are going to look for work as a blueberry picker? Let me think... the answer would be ZERO!
why would you say that?, I worked as dewberry/blackberry picker for a couple of summers, as well as lawnskeeping, and septic digging when I was a teenager.

Nowadays a lot of jobs ship easily overseas it seems, as opposed to mostly manufacturing a few decades back. Immigration is becoming more of a social issue rather than a labor issue IMO, since whether they are here or there, those who have the best skills relative to the lowest cost will get the jobs regardless of where they live in the world. Not talking about lawn keeping guys though.

First of all let me say I live in Southern Arizona, so what I speak is very real and very relavent, because I have seen this shit! first hand for the last 25 years and it just keeps getting worse, and it irritates me to no end when people who don't have a clue wonder WHY illegal immigration is a big deal and claim that it is harmless. And because I am quite pissed right now, here goes:

I think it has something to do with being rear ended by people who think its funny and then take off running back to Meheko (spit) where they get away with anything they want with no consequence.

They can break laws here and their own government protects them and tries to sue the US if we stop them, but god help any american who breaks 1 little law in their ghetto facist country.

Fox is a facist two faced racist prick who needs to be eliminated.

How about the huge trucks and gold plated SUVs with SON MEX plates that haul ass weaving in and out of lanes just drifting over like their own the road in the lifted trucks doing 90+ with no regard for anybody including themselves. Esp the ones that stare right at you while they make a left turn right in front of you going 3 mph while your in a 45 going through a green light... must be some mexican tactic to try to get insurance money from anyone with a nice car.

Or having neighbors that are up partying all night (who knows whats going up their noses), loud and obnoxious, then throw beer cans in your back yard and cuss you out in spanish like YOUR the one doing something wrong when you report them for the 10th time that week for blasting their rap at 4 am ...

Or the ones whos drop out slut daughters covered in gold (paid for by DES no doubt) are on their 10th kid and still not married and stuffed into a trailer built in their parents drive way turning the property values in the area into total crap.

Or maybe it's expecting everything to be their way right away forcing their language and their ghetto barrio shitastic culture onto us by waiving their mexican flags around and forcing all literature to be in spanish in another country ... how many British or US flags do you see being waved around in mexico, and how much literature in mexico is in english? And lets cut through the fvcking BS why does "multi cultural" or "diverse" always have something to do with SPANISH!!!! Where is chinese, vietnamese, russian, and korean? Quit with the BS label of 'diversity' and just fvcking say "mexicans and spanish" and quit trying to pawn it off as universal diversity.

It's one thing to come to America to get work or make something of yourself, but don't bring the damn ghetto with you and turn this country into a 3rd world country too, then flee for new grounds to devour like locusts, leaving the wake of your destruction behind for everone else to deal with.

As far as jobs that nobody else wants to work, GET RID OF WELFARE. Then there will BE white people picking vegetables again. The only reason they dont is because Uncle Sam will pay their way (courtesy of the bleeding heart liberals in this country)

I know of at least two hospitals that have closed down just in Tucson, because of the flood of illegals demanding free care (required by law). I have friends who are EMTs that have to transport patients who are illegals, back to the border, knowing full and well they wont see even a penny for the gas, much less the medical support.

How about proposition 200 and english as the official language? Passed by the people of AZ at least 60/40 on MULTIPLE occasions, but always vetoed or in court. What fvcking right do these people have to come to our country and challege OUR laws? Dont like it stay in Mexico.

And the final sign that things are really bad: I have friends whos family came from mexico LEGALLY and who are respectful people, who speak ENGLISH, and who would die for this country (or at least the ideals that it once stood for), who came here with nothing and now have careers in medical, etc. and they will agree with everything I have said. Chew on that for a while.

We have enough filth in this country as it is with the people already here sucking off welfare and doing whatever they please without regard to law (which results in more useless complicated laws, etc), we don't need to deal with a third world country's overflow too.

There are a few good ones that come across looking for an honest life, but lets not kid ourselves, 99.9% we could do without!

For the record I don't have a problem with legal immigration at all for people who want to come here for the whole american dream and all that; as long as they make an effort to learn the language, get a job, pay taxes, be honest, wave and say hi instead of sneering something in spanish, and for chists sake DONT BRING THE BARRIO WITH YOU!

I love how people who are so "open" about diversity seem to be the same ones who are all about seeing "the white man" fall. Apparently you can't be part of a "diverse" crowd if you're white.

In other words, "I love diversity, and I hope that diverse crowd kicks out whitey!"

Once again , for the last time:

DIVERSE <> MEXICAN
DIVERSE != SPANISH

I love how people try to avoid the race issue and ignore the fact that we are talking specifically about Mexico by using terms like "diverse" and "multi cultural".

Last time I looked, asians and europeans and africans didn't speak spanish and have red/white/green flags !!!

And it's no surprise that the costal states are all for illegal immigration; the socialist/communist cess pools will do anything to undermine the rest of the country since they can't succeed politically and dare not take up arms.

i would like to know why our poloticians have such a tough time making and passing laws on issues like this?

it seems to me that most everyone in this thread is completely against illegal immigrants but has absolutley know problem with legal ones

in a nut shell, it seems we all know what problems there are to fix and how to fix them, but when it comes to actually getting them done it's a cluster fvck

Politicians only look out for themselves. If they ever tried to push a bill like this in a state where it actually mattered (Cali or NY for example), not only would it get shot down, they would never see another term in office.

i've noticed that too... "screw what's good for the country, whats good for me?"

its not like we pay them to look out for the damn country anyway :disgust:

Because the problem is worse than just "illegals"...

Think about the ones who are here illegally, pregnant, who drop off their kids at walmart just across the border at 3 am and claim their were shopping. Of course the kid is a citizen automatically and the parents are allowed to stay now.

Think about this going on for the last 20 years... and how many millions have already infiltrated in this way.

For all intents and purposes they act and behave in much the same manner as we have grown to dislike illegal immigrants: no regard for the law, disrepectful, breed like rabbits, leech welfare and false insurance claims, etc. They basically carry out the same agenda as the "illegals" we label, but are free to roam about under the radar since the are citizens while we frantically target "illegals"

This is much worse because we can't do a damn thing about it because by a fvcked up technicallity they are considered citizens... then they start to get into politics, become voters, etc...

More than half the city council in Tucson have names that end in Z (Gonzalez, Rodrigez, Lopez, etc)

You think they are going to allow anything that will stop their 1000 relatives from being able to come over and help take over the US for their "la raza" and "barrio warriors", regardless of the people here passing a vote or not?

I wonder how many people realize how many people in mexico think that the southwest US belongs to mexico and are trying to take it over by sheer breeding ... a few mexican presidents, including Fox, have been on record stating that "everyone knows that Mexico's territory extends well beyond its borders"

What fvcking right does mexico have to question the US and threaten to sue us over our laws and policies within our own borders?

And if you think IM foul... you should hear what some of the mexicans here legally and busting their asses have to say about it... *shudder*

Of course those are the rare english speaking 2-3 kids max, (or at least all of them by the same father who isnt in jail for running drugs, shooting a cop, or stealing cars), married, not so much as a speeding ticket etc, honest mexican people ... you know, actual American's that behave better than most white people here...

Welcome to raising kids, American style

I lived in the Southwest and even today work part-time where alot of Mexican laborers come in to shop. I'd still take them over the trailer park welfare recipient breeders. All we have to do to get rid of the lazy people is cut them off, they will either starve to death or get a job.

Hell yes, get rid of ALL the filth in this country, it's not just the mexicans.

Youd be surprised how fast they would work if their satelite TV was gonna be taken away from them!

I don't like ILLEGAL immigrants.

Plus, please learn English before you come to our country.

My parents both entered the U.S. and became U.S. citizens legally AND knew proper English (granted, it was British English since they're from India) before they came
