I'd guess that you didnt see my first answer, but you replied to it. Does this look familiar?

ask yourself that. you kept insisting, though it wasnt the contention, that not ONLY Mexicans come here; then that Mexico isnt part of Latin America. I couldnt not reply.

Don't you see what is going on in the states? Can't you see that people WANT change but cannot get it because the Grumpy Old Men who run Corporate America and have controlled America since it's inception do NOT want to let go of their power and control? They will pay propoganda meisters to brainwash the proletariat sheep with the communist, socialist, fascist B.S. Notice how the sheep use these terms interchangeably because they don't know what each term means much less the differences between them. They simply parrot what they hear being the dodos that they are.

Lol, this is REALLY important to you, isnt it?

What stands is that more Mexicans come to the US than any other group, followed by groups that benefit from H1-B visas, and that this is a result of US policy. You saw the chart, I didnt make it up.

Oh yes the Democrats and the Republicans are equally to blame!

This is what the OP is trying to tell us.

I'm sorry but that is just pure B.S.

Only one side hates government. Only one side bad mouths anything and everything Government attempts to do.

Yes we do have a BIG problem here in the USA. Half the icountry is compromised of right wing authoritarians, with a minority a religious zealots and racists mixed in.

Mr. OP.

Any foreigner will tell you this. They don't dislike the USA for what the Democrats did. The hate it for the policies pushed by the right wing in America.

I am a foreigner and as much as we are relieved that Bush is gone, we also acknowledge, or lets say I acknowlegde the US is not reigned by politicians but by big corporations.
I don't know why you don't want to get rid of the Two Party system. It simply isn't benefitting the citizens of the USA. I believe that most influential politicians have their "friends" in big corporations.
If only 1% of all Americans have 95% of capital, something must be wrong.
Instead of continuing with this silly and childish left/right battle, I think you should question the influence that corporations and lobbys have on politics.

You are right, though, that Republican and those religious people have a worse reputation than Democrats in Europe. Especially those fundamentalists that believe the Earth is 6000 years old. Here no one would take them seriously.
