I agree. Whenever I pay attention to who's cutting me off in traffic or trying to cut in line somewhere or who's chidren are running around (and into people while not looking where they are going) a public place like a shopping center (unattended), it's often people of hispanic descent. Very rude (and ignorant) people for the most part.

This is what is fueling the current illegal alien amnesty/guest worker our "wise" Congress is trying to shove down our throats.

Believe me, in a few years the wages will be so low, all Americans (except the corporate crownies who helped create the illegal amnesty system) will be impoverished.

I totally understand what you are talking about. I did some housekeeping work because I realized that it paid more than some other jobs in managerial positions (after taxes). I did see illegals trying to do the job, but for smaller wages. Even I wouldn't work for those wages.

It wasn't as much as they pay in NY, but it was better than a person who is an immigrant. I told my uncle about what I was making and he was shocked. He said he paid his housekeeper $20-25 an hr. depending on what job he did.

I should suggest to all the illegals that if you go to upstate NY, you will get at least $20 an hr. I have no idea why they would work down here for pratically nothing??

What is sad is the fact that most of then haven't even graduated High School. In Miami only 52 percent of the population has graduated High School. True, they are working harder, but not smarter. If just about half of the population, over 25, hasn't graduated High School, I would see how they are just working harder and not smarter. That's why they are making lower wages.

Of course, label me (and others) a racist because that’s all you can do. I have no problem with different cultures and in fact, I embrace them, unlike most of the people here in Miami who have their own ghetto sub-culture going on – a culture filled with hatred, i.e. Cubans hating Americans, Cubans hating Nicaraguans, Puerto Ricans hating Cubans, etc, etc, etc. Don’t talk to me about not being bilingual – I happen to be pretty fluent in French, but I also speak German too. I haven’t bothered to learn Spanish since being here because I just don’t feel like it, especially when people don’t exactly appreciate your efforts anyway, even when you do try. I disagree with you too – Americans DO know what it’s like to be poor, so god knows where you got that particular ignorance from. The Cubans here have not had it as tough as the black people who came here as slaves and had to fight tooth and nail to end slavery and segregation before they were even able to be equal citizens. Difference is that you f**kers came here and had everything handed to you on a plate – fair play, but you have no right to complain and no right to try to “take over” and drive Caucasian/other Americans and anyone else you don’t like away, just because they don’t like your Mia-ME-ME-ME/selfish b*stard culture.

But of course, you’ll call me a racist for this, even though I am just expressing my views. I am done wasting my time with people who are too blind and too ignorant to embrace someone else’s point of view, even if they don’t agree with it. I am done posting in the Miami forum because certain forumers in there decided to pull the same s**t and some launched a personal attack on me when I made my final post in that particular subforum. Oh my god….I DARED to refer to Miami as “La Republica Miami-Dade”….oh nooooo….boo, hoo, hoo…what an evil racist!!!

I'm sorry but I have to say that this is one of the most ignorant posts I've ever read. Dude, I understand every single problem or reason a person can have to migrate of of his country, but there are some characteristics that divide civilized humans from animals. When you voluntarily resign to your country, you are 100% aware that you are also voluntarily chosing another country inthe world. If you chose United States, you know the USA is an English spoken country. Since this is a voluntarily act, and the American people is having the priceless act of opening the doors for you, the least you can do is have a little bit of respect and be thankful to the land that gives you food. Part of that little respect is SPEAK ENGLISH. Nobody has to move to England or whatever. YOU need to get the hell out of here if you do not agree with the United States and its system. That's even one of the things you sign and swear for it when you become a citizen. Nobody forced you to come here, if you prefer Spanish, then go to Spain and leave Americans in peace with their beautiful empire. Milions and millions around the world dream to come here; unfortunatelly, most of them just because there's money here. Within their ignorance and limited metal ability, they do not realize WHY this country has so much money. The answer is, its people. The American people. The ones who created this system, the ones who started capitalism, companies, technology. Those who create the big corporates today and provide millions of jobs from which you are taking advantage today. Once you realize that, you'll find out that the only way to keep this nation as the best in the world, is assimilating 100% with the American way of thinking. Otherwise, yall will end up destroying this country.

And I repeat, this is The United States, you came voluntarily here, respect it, if you do not agree with how it is in every single aspect, you have hundreds of countries to choose around the globe. And for those proud of their culture, well maybe they should go back and actually do something for their culture. Because the day you decided to get out of there and leave behind who supposedly you call "your people", is treason. That is not straight, and that's not how a real man or woman behaves.

Thanks to you and a few others, I REQUESTED to be blocked from reading/posting in the Miami forum.

I thought you said you had made your last post, a while back but I guess you just can't stop the name-calling and hating. Everything you write is the same stuff over and over and it gets nauseating. It's not a matter of stating your views, it's HOW you choose to do so. You love to assign despicable labels and I, for one, do not find the humor in your remarks.

In English: I think you definitely have some grammatical errors in Spanish. I am an English Major! (I was raised to study English.) An Americiano!

LOL...what the heck??? And, I can spot mistakes in Spanish and I'm American???

LOLLLL.

Ingles mayor???? No, not quite. Literal translation does not work in this case.

Whoever wrote that post in Spanish definitely needs some polishing, although it got better after the 3rd sentence or so.

Hey, at least give me some credit for at least trying to figure out the literal translation. I wish there were those that could at least try to speak English. Some people don't even make the effort! That would help! This is why I have been trying to speak Spanish. This way I can at least have a conversation. LOL!

Hey, at least I know how to write in my own language. At least I am trying. When I am in Italy, I learned to speak a little Italian. In France, I learned a little French. It's really not that hard to try even if you make mistakes. The biggest mistake it not trying.
