If this country had any brains we would send them packing ASAP!!!!!!! Instead it seems like the "illegals" have more rights than us. UNBELIEVABLE!
Hispanic is not a language. And where you live, how is "talk" forced upon you? And who told you that if you wanted to stay you "had to learn English"?? Did an immigration official tell you that? If they did you received erroneous information. Being able to speak English is not a requirement to renew a green card. Is it a good idea to learn English if you plan to stay in the USA: Absolutely.....Is it a legal requirement: NO, whether or not it should be is a long way off because first the federal government would have to make English the official language of the USA.

If you would like to see another example of a group of people with "filthy law-breaking lifestyles" there is a neighborhood here in Newark, NJ of mostly Italian-Americans. Some of them are involved in organized crime and prey on Italian owned businesses through extortion and black-mail. There are Sicilians here in Newark, NJ that are here illegally and there is one pizzeria in particular that controls the heroin supply on the north side of the city.

as to the OP yes learning spanish a good idea.
though at the older age much more difficult.
as to the nation, it is our own innate hatred of unions that has allows our labor market to be shamefully exploited by business and government alike.

Yes indeed. That is why Mexico is the envy of the world. The entire country runs like a well greased machine. How do they do it? No doubt it is their work ethic. They are unmatched in productivity and innovation. That is why people from all over the world are trying to get into Mexico. Why, people line up outside the local Mexican consulate and fight each other tooth and nail for a chance to relocate to Mexico.




If they are not worried about deportation, then why is it that people like Janet Murguia and Ruben Navarette are always wringing their hands about how terrible it is for illegals to live in the shadows with the threat of deportation constantly hanging over their heads? Maybe you should drop them a line and tell them they can stop worrying. If they continue to tear their hair over this, they are going to end up with high blood pressure and gray hair.
Go look up the numbers on how many American citizens relocate to Mexico every year. Check out Guadalajara, especially the Lake Chapala region. There are thousands there. And they are of white-European descent. It is difficult to get a "Mexican" green card. Its called an FM-2 and thousands of Americans applied for one last year to live or operate businesses mostly in northern Mexico.

And said Americans as a group I can safely say are in Mexico legally and brings lots of $$$-----------but, are not competing with the local yokels for low wage jobs either so there is relatively little animosity.

Not one that I know lives in fear of deportation. They aren't swinging hammers at their jobs super fast while looking over their shoulders. Most Mexicans, illegal or legal, have a very good work ethic. To state that illegals live in fear of deportation is just simply not true. Why would they be fearful anyway? If they are detained and sent back to Mexico they'll probably be able to get back in time for family dinner on Saturday.
Needless to say: said illegal alien criminals need to be in jail awaiting their deportation back home.

As for said illegals returning to the USA in 2-3 days: unless they are willing to pay $5,000 a head to a coyote, forget it. Besides: it is much harder even for an experienced one to evade the BP these days.

And.. Thanks for stealing that SSN from my neighbor's mailbox to get a job building said house..

Oh and also, Thanks for helping to drive down local wages with your cheap, under the table work..

There.. That's a bit more accurate..

I just bought a labtop with my hard earned paycheck.
I call BS on that-----------especially what I bolded.

Maybe it is about time to find out how 'badly' that we need those criminal loser illegal aliens. Time for mass deportations.

Nope.. You are NOT "Undocumented", You are ILLEGAL! First of all..

Secondly, How did you get a job to work in the U.S. all of these years? Did you steal someone's SSN ?

Its called fraud, tax evasion and possibly ID theft. But I call BS on the poster anyway. No doubt about it someone is trolling to stir the pot.
