Immigrants

[xxcatmysteryxx]

What do you think? Illegal/ Legal

[Gabbe]

illegal of course, they can stay in their own country, imagine if your country were to welcome all the poor from  U-countries...

[xxcatmysteryxx]

illegal Mexicans coming to U.S should go back to their own county and stop stealing our jobs and they should actually learn English if they come but they don't

[Gabbe]

they are a**holes crossing your border to sell drugs right?

[ultifd]

Depends,
like that Arizona bill, the problem with it is racial profiling... 

[xxcatmysteryxx]

they are a**holes crossing your border to sell drugs right?

yeah they sell drugs too

Depends,
like that Arizona bill, the problem with it is racial profiling...  

the black person or was he/she Mexican i can't remember was sticking up for a illegals but no wonder
(i just heard about the bill like yesterday)

[Gabbe]

you americans should not turn racist just because of immigrants....not that you aint... Talking about general public

[-Archmage-]

I'm in full agreement, Immigrants can stay in their own country, instead of destroying ours.

USA is for US citizens.

[wyvern]

Exactly, and if you come here come legally and adapt to this country, not adapting it to yourself, look into every big store in the US at the self service and you see two choices English and Espanol, it really gets me angry seeing it everywhere

[-Archmage-]

Well it's good for people that are vacationing from say, Spain, they stay in a hotel for a few weeks, need groceries. They go to the store and wallah, they can pay for it in their own language.
But they should be required to show a slip from their hotel or something that says they are vacationing.

[wyvern]

But its not done for people from spain its done for mexicans , I don't see signs in French or Russian anywhere

[John.d.h]

To be fair, wasn't this country forged by mass genocide of all the native tribes?  Telling immigrants to stay out is pretty egregiously hypocritical, isn't it?

Anyway, this really isn't a politics forum.

[wyvern]

The native tribes were slaughtering themselves

[John.d.h]

The native tribes were slaughtering themselves

... and then we gave them smallpox.

[wyvern]

True, but are you gonna cover up for the Aztecs who slaughtered hundreds of thousands to satisfy their gods , their subjects helped the spanish in their conquest.

[-Archmage-]

Guys, that happened hundreds of years ago! A lot has changed since then. This is a good country, though it was forged in a terrible manner, it is still a good country!
Just because our ancestors did that, doesn't mean that we have to sit by and let our country be taken over.

[John.d.h]

True, but are you gonna cover up for the Aztecs who slaughtered hundreds of thousands to satisfy their gods , their subjects helped the spanish in their conquest.

No, but that's not the point I'm trying to make.  What I'm saying is that we took this nation by force, treachery, and murder, so how do we have any more right to be here than anybody else?  Do Mexicans have to stage a military coup and unleash biological weapons on us to have a right to be here (since that's what we did to supposedly "earn" the right to be here)?

[wyvern]

Now but they should adapt to america not just come here to make another mexico.

[xxcatmysteryxx]

Now but they should adapt to america not just come here to make another mexico.

yeah... also i hate seeing English or espanol on signs and stores it drives me crazy

[John.d.h]

Now but they should adapt to america not just come here to make another mexico.

... and what is America, other than a combination of influences from other nations?  Our language, our food, our architecture, our music... almost all of it is brought here from other countries.

yeah true but..... um yea but not to a point that's its ruining America but Mexicans yah

[ultifd]

One other point is that America wasn't started by uh... "Americans"...  
That's what some people say...

[wyvern]

America is a mix of nations, true, but why if this is a mix of nations do we not have signs in the language of every nation that has people here. The US has one language one army, and so on, not a language or army for every non native person here

[xxcatmysteryxx]

English and Spanish is the majority people speak here (Spanish wouldn't be majority if it weren't for Mexico

[wyvern]

Really, french is quite popular, a question why don't mexicans fix mexico instead of coming to the US, I don't see any problems with canadians running across the border.
