So you need 50K to survive. They need less. Does that make them less than you, As you would say crap? People mowing Lawns in Mississippi are pulling in 50-80K a year, Pouring coffee in the pancake house pays in most areas 10-12 an hour with tips calculated in, and Making beds in a hotel pays pretty good as well, and most companies have benefits as well. So whats your point here?


right, but they are hardly a majority nationwide. they may be better represented in dense hispanic areas, but they hardly have a stake in the national number. many of these jobs are unattainable if they have no formal education, which is also a form of segregation against the poor.

So your saying there are no Hispanics in power in places with a dense Hispanic population. Humm why is that? Are you sure? Also you say that with no formal education you can not obtain these jobs, that would apply to any person of any color not just Hispanics. You seem to want to separate them from everyone else.. kinda bigoted in my view.

neither one of us look down on them. do not make assumptions. it is very clear by our stance that we are supporters of not only immigrants, but the lower class of america. i am glad you have common courtesy and tip. i do the same. why assume otherwise when i defend them in every other post?

Do you defend them.. do they need to be defended like some helpless population that needs you to step in and protect them. like they are beneath you. humm makes one think though doesn't it..
Not making any assumptions, I am just going off what you have posted thus far.

so theyre criminals because theyre criminals, not because theyre illegal immigrants. if that was the case, all illegal immigrants would be criminals (aside from the actual "illegal" crossing, that is). the logic isnt there. treat criminals as criminals. dont look for an excuse to tie their ethnicity and status into it.
You take things way too literal. And yea in weight they are close to double his size, and their parents turned out to be illegals, and the kids refused to speak English to the police. So maybe through this they will get deported. I guess the Parents of three kids that got killed execution style by illegals were exaggerating as well or any of the others murders by illegals? You just choose to ignore or downplay our experiences. But we are suppose to take yours at face value , nope.

I rarely see an illegal Mexican cause any problems and I live in California.

Now I have seen lot's of Mexicans get treated like dirt doing the worst jobs already. However, treating people like dirt is not a crime.
people do not treat white people who do server, maid, housekeeping, lawn work, babysitting, janitor... etc, like dirt?
There are plenty of white and others who look down on other white people who have these jobs.
As far as illegal mexicans NOT causing problems well,,, aren't you the lucky one!

of course i take things literal. what else am i supposed to do? assume all your posts are laced with exaggeration and mistruths? i guess that would explain alot... and as far as the parents are concerned, illegal. what about their kids? anchor babies? that would mean theyre citizens.

so? thats not illegal.

should we deport all people who assault others? if a black kid assaults me, we should deport him to africa? if a white kid assaults me, we should deport him to europe?

not all illegals are murderers. murderers come in all colors. so why point out the status when it is irrelevant? criminals are criminals. you said it yourself: trash comes in every color.

nope, because i could survive off of less too. 50k is a middle class figure. that is why i used it. im sure i could survive off of way less than that.

i would love to see a job listing for a cafe worker or a bedmaker that pays what you are claiming. otherwise, im going to assume youre making it up.

Saying I am exaggerating and lying seems like an attack to me. But I could say the same for you.

And the parents are illegal, deportation, if they discover the kids are deportation. And we cant deport our own citizens, but we can the people that dont belong here. Our citizens that commit assaults, should go to jail.

And it is in no way irrelevant that they are illegal, especially when people tout how grand they are all the time.

more densely hispanic populated areas see more hispanics in power positions. this is a no-brainer. as far as the educational system goes, the line is drawn not at color, but at language and income. poor people and non-english speakers have a tougher time in our current educational system, which makes it harder for them to achieve and become productive. college is only for the well-off, because even scholarships are limited. full scholarships are even more rare and are usually given to people that were able to work with the educational cirriculum and processes already established. i hope that clarifies things for you. i do not understand why you would think i am bigoted when i do nothing but advocate unity.

i defend my own viewpoints concerning them. that does not mean i think they are beneath me in any way. why would you draw that conclusion? it doesnt make any sense.
