Walk Out May 1st

[Tejas-Jet]

Who would have thought in a Republican controlled congress with a Republican president, we'd still have record illegal immigration. Too many politicians are in bed with the big businesses that use the cheap labor. Don't blame the Mexicans for wanting a better life, blame your elected officials for being ineffective.

Lets look at a small central Texas ranching town...say for example....hmmmm....Crawford, Tx.

Since the majority of the 18 yr olds leave as soon as they can, who is left to do the ranch work? I'll bet all the local ranchers sans one, hire illegals to help out with the ranch work that needs to get done.

Even in my upper middle class neighborhood, we never have the local teens knocking on the door to see if they can do our yard work....its always the hispanic guy ( I won't call him illegal because honestly, I don't know or care if he is). And he does a First Class job at a nice price.

My kid used to cut my grass ....until he went to college. Now Miguel does it. If Tommy Smith wants to cut my lawn, he better do as good a job as Miguel does and at a lower price or....he won't be in the running.

That's part of the problem. We complain American's don't want to do the work, but, in reality, Americans don't want to PAY someone to do the work. We'd rather have a CHEAP labor source to do our dirty work. Immigrants will work for slave wages, and people like Tejas and other businesses are more than willing to pay them those crappy wages. Every time I hear someone whine about who will do our jobs I envision an enormous indentured servant force who never has any hope of rising above their station. Too many people want them here simply to mow lawns, build houses, or wait tables. To listen to them talk, however, it's all about equality and fairness. BS. They just want a cheap labor force.

Now I have to get my wife to cut the grass. What is the world comming to?

 

[kommutrdog]

If we round up all illegals...

The fact is that Americans want it all:

$29.00 DVD players at Walmart = Good
Methods used by Walmart to obtain said DVD player = Bad

Make up your minds.

Deport all illegals = $6.00 heads of lettuce.

It's pay now or pay later. Can't have it both ways.

This came from an e-mail sent to me and I did not verify it's legitamacy, so please take with a grain of salt.


I know it is from the LA Times but since it supports the right wing maybe you'll read it anyway:


"From the L.A Times

1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County (L.A. County has 10 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This was because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card.

2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.

4. Over 2/3's of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal whose births were paid for by taxpayers.

5. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.

6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.

7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.

8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.

9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking.

10. In L.A.County 5.1 million people speak English. 3.9 million speak Spanish (10.2 million people in L.A.County).

(All 10 from the Los Angeles Times)


Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops but 29% are on welfare.

Over 70% of the United States annual population growth (and over 90% of California, Florida, and New York) results from immigration.

The cost of immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was a NET
(after subtracting taxes immigrants pay) $70 BILLION a year, [Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University].

The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a NEGATIVE

29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens. "

If anybody thinks prices won't rise if these illegals are given amnesty you are fooling yourself.

If they are given amnesty and citizenship, they will soon after be asking for more money and/or unionizing. Why? They will no longer be afraid of their "illegal" status and the threat of deportation.

Employers will get rid of them in favor of a "new" source of cheap labor, and we will then have an even greater drain on our welfare programs as they use their new-found citizenship and the "rights" that go with it.

You've got a real quick wit there. I'm sure your mother is real proud.

Proud, just like your mother is of your mature avatar.

 

[blzr]

Heyhey hey hey.... back off.... his Avitar ROCKS!!

 

[fellows]

How is it that ILLIGAL ALIENS who live all over the country from Maine to San Diego can quikly unite for a national one day boycott and AIRLINE PILOTS can't do anything even slightly similar.

A couple grass roots activists can pull this off!

But a national union call ALPA can't do _________!

 

[JohnDoe]

Add a tax to the wire transactions they send back home. Good idea. I like the rest as well.

Too bad our government appears to be as toothless as, well, alpa.

 

[j41driver]

...your mature avatar.

They look pretty mature to me....

 

[j41driver]

Not condoning illegal immigration, but I'd like to see what you guys would do if you were in their position.

I would do what any law abiding citizen should do...I would immigrate legally. Thousands of people do it every year.

 

[j41driver]

Rules suck? Get them changed. That is what they are trying to do now.

So if you don't like the rules you fight to change them, huh? What's wrong with following the rules like millions of other immigrants have?

 

[Jetsi]

Hey, don't blame me for the constitution if you don't like it. It was written a few years before I was born .

My point was, and my pardon if I didn't make this clear, follow the current laws while you try to change the ones you don't like. There are thousands of changes made to federal, state, and municipal law each year. And for every law that is changed, there are numerous others that do not.

For example, want to make it illegal to smoke in a public restaurant? Put the pressure on the politicians, sign petitions, etc., and get it up for a vote. If you smoke and don't like the law, try to make amendments to it, such as allowing smoking in bars and cigar lounges, while still not smoking in the restaurant. Smoke in the restaurant to prove a point? Go to jail and pay a fine.

Now that movement would have more success than trying to make it legal to perform fellatio to elephants on Tuesdays in July. But if enough people wanted to make that a law, it could happen.

My opinion to the whole mess, send them all packing and make changes to the immigration system. Give them all a date to leave back to Mexico by. Make it easier to get in legally, but to all the people here illegally after the date they can never become legal US citizens. Erect a wall along the entire US/Mexican border, and move all military live fire ranges to within 5 miles of the border. Increase funding to the INS, ICE, and DHS. Change the law so fines for hiring an illegal worker would be $100,000 per undocumented worker.

Again, just my opinion.

9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking.

I always get a kick out of people who feel the urge to comment on all the Spanish being spoken in cities like "Los Angeles". Ummm, isn't "Los Angeles" a Spanish name to begin with? I mean, it's not like your living in "New Briton".

 

[Occam's Razor]

they're so confused.

This country was built by immigrants. :beer:



It's Australia that was built by felons and illegals.



They better start swimming...

Hey, "Running Bear"! Since you aren't full-blooded Navaho, perhaps you should change the pronoun...'eh?

They is you.

Immigrants = Good!

Illegal aliens = Bad!

Throw 'em out and imprision anyone who hires them.

Scene.

THE AMERICAN FLAG COMES SECOND

Whittier area students from Pioneer, California and Whittier high schools walked out of classes to protest the proposed federal immigration bill March 27, 2006. The protesters put up the Mexican flag over the American flag flying upside down at Montebello High. (Leo Jarzomb/Staff photo)

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Including all you Irish Americans on St. Patricks Day! tic

I bet the Native Americans considered the Europeans illigal immigrants, and the Mexicans considered the Americans flooding their territories of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado and California as illegal immigrants also.

Well, that's all ancient history now. Perhaps if U.S. citizens didn't have such an addiction to the cheap labor these hard working "illegals" provide market forces would naturllay limit their migration.

Don't get me wrong, illegal is illegal, and the breaking of our laws should not be rewarded, but don't stop with the poor illegal immigrants, any US citizen that hires an illigal citizen should also be punished to the full extent of the law.
