Isn't that where they are building a nice modern Wal-Mart Supercenter??

I'm curious as to how the Mexican immigrant (legal or otherwise) population has hurt and degraded the lifestyle of the OP. Please outline in specifics of how and why you arrived at your opinion.



I'm sure it is a hardship to have a maid.

Please share with us the sacrifices you've been forced to make at the hands of the Mexican immigrant (legal or otherwise) population.

As for the rest of you, who chose to make cruel jokes instead of calling the OP on these remarks, you are just as bad as she is.

But its ok for Carlos Mencia to make cruel mexican jokes, is that right ??
Lucky I don't get offended when people tell irish jokes

Like I said earlier, there are two seperate parts of this immigration debate - the people who employ them and the immigrants themselves.

- Employers should be jailed for 10 years for employing any illegals - it is slave labour in all but name.

- You cannot, under any circumstances enter a country illegally, then demand anything but a one-way ticket back home from said country - to ask for citizenship or rights is just plain daft - if you want either go back home and join the queue to do it the right way.

So how do you solve the problem - well in typical Corporate American style the little man and woman (ie the immigrant) will be crushed. Maybe if some CEO's did hard time though the problem might actually get solved.

Rant over

I don't remember saying that and I don't find him particularly amusing. However, that is not the discussion at hand.

I do not oppose intelligent debate about the current situation at the Mexican border. It is very problematic and everybody suffers. However, I cannot support the daily plight of these human beings being used as fodder for the more fortunate. Rant over.

You didn't take your British, Sarcastic, Ironic humour pill this morning did you?

Leslie

Oh shut up.

BigDavyG

Agreed, though what on earth they are doing now is anyone's guess - demonstrating for 'rights' when many are here illegally is a bit dumb and is likely to p*ss a lot of people off.
Having said that, what else are they to do - go back to Mexico ??
Shows how bad things must be there if they are prepared to put up with the sh*te they face here in order to stay.

Leslie

Big Davy is being dense. Of course you can have illegal immigration followed by legal and political change. The entire history of the planet has developed precisely because of such immigrations, which are nothing more than movements of people. None of it is an excuse for intolerance, stupidity and racism. Davy you continue to throw out red herrings and refuse to deal with the issues at hand.

BigDavyG

What on earth are you babbling about - give me another example of such a widespread illegal immigration - in fact if the enitre history of the planet has developed as a result of such illegal immigrations you had better make it 3.

Oh, and as far as this debate goes there is stupidity on many sides.

The fact of the matter is that many people have gone to the trouble of entering the US LEGALLY - why should people who have entered ILLEGALLY be catered to ??
If they don't like it in the US under the current conditions then they can go back from whence they came until the US pulls its finger out of its ass and comes up with legislation to prevent the current exploitation.
Seems quite simple to me.

How did they get through passport control ???

Read that as the Christians and Romans.

gruffbrown

And them, bloody Romans.

What have the Romans ever done for us?
