Many immigrants leaving Georgia behind (casino, tax, to live)

[Saname81]

Roadtrip75, I was born and raised in San Francisco, CA moved to Miami, FL as a young man. I know that people look at Miami as a third world county but hey it is what it is. In fact we all including yourself have family that migrated to this country we call USA. I chose the state of GA for relocation because I believe it can provide a better life style for me and my children.

I am an immigrant. I don't worried coz I'm legal.

I find the opposition to it is racially motivated against whites.

I too am like Saname81 born & raised here yet my parents are legal immigrants from Cuba as well. How can you deny citizenship to a child born on US soil?

The same way every other country does. Anchor babies are a uniquely American phenomenon.

You're a good example of why we should cut off legal and illegal immigration from Latin America for a while. Every person coming from there becomes a natural advocate against white Americans and in favor of more Latin immigration.

People shouldnt be so up in arms about illegal immigrants when I doubt that 90 percent of us in here are Native Americans. Some of your ancestors illegally stole their land, and forced them to move. The Irish, the Germans the Polish, all immigrated it here, whether it be legal or illegal. As an African American my ancestors were forced here. We ALL are not natives to this land, the issue of immigration shouldnt be so prevalent. At some point in time your ancestors didnt speak the language of the land, they had to grow accustomed to it, but they came for the reasons of freedom and justice for all. Let that be the message.

The "Native Americans" did not create America nor are they native. They immigrated here like the rest of us. Their standard of living is unbelievably better today thanks to the Europeans. Miami and L.A. are headed in the opposite direction thanks to Latin American invasion.

As an African American my ancestors were forced here.

Which direction is the flow of migration between America and Africa?

You happen to be a good example of someone who needs to untie the knot in his equipment and quit trying to steamroll somebody with a bunch of faux outrage...

As I stated in an earlier post, I'm not crazy about illegal immigration, but now you want to stand somewhere with your hand on your hip like some dime-store diva, and try to tell LEGAL immigrants, folks who tried to come to this country the RIGHT way, as in entering the country legally and not sneaking here in the dead of night, what they can and can't do, all because you think they want to jump on the ol' 'Hate Whitey' bandwagon?

I've got news for you, son...those people are trying to get right, and live their lives the right way, and get their citizenship by the book...and they have little time or patience for dealing with some faceless guy throwing a hissy-fit on an internet chat forum about 'anti-white advocacy' and 'favoring Latin immigration'

You really grossly underestimate the things some people give a flying rip about...and you ultimately need to stop attempting to tell people what to do, because eventually, they're going to ignore histrionics such as yours, and go on about the business of doing what they have to do to get ahead in life---leaving you standing and sputtering about which alleged 'enemy of goodness and whiteness' you're gonna rant about next

I understand that this thread is about immigrants LEAVING Georgia...and being an Ohioan, I don't have skin in that game...but if folks are coming there (and to this country) LEGALLY, and are taking the proper path to citizenship, and trying to assimilate and do things the RIGHT way, then I for the life of me don't see this vast 'anti-white' conspiracy they're hatching...I'm truly sorry if the presence of non-whites makes you itchy, but I suggest you get a tube of good, strong, anti-itch cream, and learn to deal, because people aren't going to stop coming to GA, or living where and how they want to live, simply because you're p***ed off about it

Man get the hell out of here. How can you possibly say their standard of living is unbelievably better? Living on reservations? Why, because they threw them a few pennies so they could have casinos? I've seen some retarded statements on here but this one takes the cake. So why dont you tell us where the native americans came from? Obviously they were here before "Europeans" and "Europeans" didnt create America either even though they tend to like to convince people that they did.

I guess the whole "Thanksgiving" thing where there was peace and harmony that's taught in the history books rather than "Europeans" slaughtering and killing millions of native americans is true too huh? Yea, that definitely improved their "standard of living." I swear im never amazed by some of the drivel people spew on here. "Europeans" stole America just like they stole from Africa. As a matter of fact they've stole pretty much everything they've wanted throughout history. Maybe more people would realize that if they didnt teach a "slanted" version of history in school.

Roadtrip75 has made it clear, he does not like hispanics, he even threw a slime ball move on another thread towards me which I thought was funny by the way. What Roadtrip75 needs is an intervention, maybe I should buy the house next door to him, park my F350 in the drive way, throw the football around and listen to some good ol Led Zepplin....oh yeah cant wait!

And let me say this as well...if I DID live there, and read this, I would wholeheartedly encourage you to stay...likewise, I'm not crazy about the illegal immigration issue, and also as a fellow black man, I am aware of the issues you touched on (racial profiling and the like)

However, I'll be damned if I would let people's hot air, chest beating, dirty looks, eye-rolling, and silly comments chase me out of a place that I had possibly grown to love---I'm just hard-nosed like that...as long as I am obeying the laws of the land, being a 'model citizen', and also adding to my chosen community by being a good friend and neighbor, then nobody should have ANY problems with me whatsoever

And that includes problems with my race, religion, political ideology, whatever...if I am an educated, upwardly mobile individual, and the sole problem you have with me, for instance, is my race, then that's your problem, and you need to work on solving it...I don't waste my precious time plotting new and different ways to 'hate' on people who are different than me, or, once again, have different religious or political beliefs than me...

On topic, as far as immigrants leaving GA, I will not or would not harangue them based on their choices...but it would sadden me to see someone like you, who's trying to make a difference, leave based on folks having their boxers in a bunch over some BS...I hope you'll reconsider (or at least CONSIDER reconsidering---did I say that right? LOL) your decision to leave GA at the conclusion of your studies...you sound like a young man with a bright future, and GA would be well-served by having you stay---at least that's what Ithink

The immigration law is merely a small component. One of my biggest fears is not having a job. My father is working in another state right now because he couldn't find an engineering job in Georgia. I have been back and forth and whether to stay or leave.

I think the race issue will be everywhere I go.

Only a few of the Native Americans live on reservations. Most of them are living among us and have blended in so well you don't even realize it. It's called assimilation. They are the only group of people in America I've never heard racism directed towards. Some choose to live on reservations, which are more comfortable than their old habitats.

I'm not denying they were pushed aside violently and their land was taken away. But what's done is done and the net result is a hugely more advanced and civilized society.

I don't see how anybody could argue that massive overwhelming immigration from Latin America would bring us similar advancement. It's quite obvious the result would be what we have seen in Miami and L.A. Nothing disastrous, like Afghanistan. Just a somewhat less productive/more corrupt/more violent place. Exactly the kind of place that Latino immigrants to America are trying to escape.
