Stricter Immigration laws = Viva La Mejico?

[Captain Beard]

You dissenters of the mexicans will be the first to pick my crops when they get booted.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully

So we're different colours
And we're different creeds
And different people have different needs
It's obvious you hate me
Though I've done nothing wrong
I've never even met you so what could I have done

I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand

Help me understand

Now you're punching
And you're kicking
And you're shouting at me
I'm relying on your common decency
So far it hasn't surfaced
But I'm sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel
From your head to your fists


That song just came on as I was reading this thread so I couldn't resist.

First time my soccer team played a game in the suburbs of some bigger town, I've been scared to death by a horde of monkeys yelling stuff like "dirty white turd" at my back (I used to be a goalie). You get used to it after a while.

Actually, wtf...this issue really doesn't have anything to do with "nationalism."

no, it doesn't, but in true RC fashion, let's try to give it a fucking name and put it in a neat, tidy little box

If you don't mind, here's my opinion.

I'm a "ferner" myself, I wasn't born here, yet, when I came here and got
my green card I did it in the legal way.
Let me tell you... the legal way sucks, but I did it.
I'm mainly against illegal immigration from my own selfish point of view...
If I did it, why can't you????
true, it costs around $2000 for all the forms and fees, True, it will take you at least a year to get a SSN, but fuck: if people do it, why can't you?
and while we're at it, why can't people fucking learn English?
I'm sorry, but isn't it Northern America?
English is not my first language, yet no one can tell anymore if I even have an accent,
if I'm dealing with it, so can you!
If I'm paying texas, SO CAN FUCKING YOU!!!!!!


thats my 2 cents.
prolly the only thing I can say I have in common with republicans.

As for them crying about illegal immigration, seriously: they can fuck off
as far as I'm consern, again, from my own selfish point of view.



sorry for venting.

 

[Dead_Lioness]

I hate your kind.

Actually mexicants aren't so bad. There's just too many of em.

I know it sounds funny, but I have couple of good friends who are from Mexico.
hell, of course they're "not that bad"

but illegal.... I'd say the same thing towards even my own kind.
do it in the right way DAMMIT.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

I'm with DL here. Do it the legal way and I don't care, doing it the illegal, OMFG sponge off society (or not, either way) is just unfair to those who try and do it the legitimate way.

 

[lizard]

but if you take away the illegals, who will spread my mulch??

 

[Dead_Lioness]

^ or pick up oranges right?


I hear ya Lizard... thats indeed a tough issue...
I did say my opinion is based on me being selfish.

 

[lizard]

also if the mexicans leave, there won't be any supermercados here for me to get quality salsas from

 

[Ellestin]

If I'm paying texas, SO CAN FUCKING YOU!!!!!!

[lurch70]

@DL ... where are you from and when did you come here?

I came from Romania 20 years ago when immigration laws were very different.
Today it is nearly impossible for a foreigner to go through a citizenship process "the legal" way ... most people end up marrying a US Citizen, as it seems to be the fastest way to get a work permit and eventually a citizenship.

It must be said also, that unlike a decade or so ago, when people used to come to the US to work and eventually settle down ... those days are over.
Most come to work, bust their ass and save $$$...and eventually after some years return to their home land.

 

[Dead_Lioness]

o rly

OOPPS, see I'm a ferner





Lurch, I came here from Israel 3 years ago,
through the Embassy who offered me a job and a green card.
(it some sort of a plan that you will be working for them)
so hence why I'm here.
Now, I go to school, and work, and just paying TEXAS.
hahah
I'm such a dork.

Gov. Bill Richardson (D-NM) points out, it is “unrealistic to deport” 11 million people, many of whom are already paying U.S. taxes. A 2005 American Progress study found that it would cost at least $206 billion over five years to deport all undocumented workers. The annual $41.2 billion cost exceeds the entire budget for the Department of Homeland Security for 2006.

^ Rick just wants to keep his salsa makers on US soil.

 

[lurch70]

yeah, you had it the easy way ...
I have to tell you though, as I know a lot of people personally struggling to get permission to settle down in the US, that it has been nearly impossible for the last decade or so.

 

[lizard]

^ Rick just wants to keep his salsa makers on US soil.

yes.

karen also lived and worked in the Netherlands.

 

[Dead_Lioness]
