I have no ideal what you are saying?

I think the border should be better paroled but I also understand that the agriculture business in the largest agriculture state need laborers from Mexico. Somehow this problem will be solved.

When you say "immigrants", are you referring to legal immigrants or illegal aliens? Because one thing that illegal aliens are not is honest.

The poster is saying that to refer to illegal aliens as immigrants is trying to blur the line between the two, and make it seem like there's no difference between them. It's unfair to legal immigrants to lump them all together.

Yeah probably because the people who come to this country refuse to learn English which is what we speak here and to cater to them people have been pushing the whole bilingual thing. Which is wrong. People came from all over the Earth to America and all learned English. Official or not, it is our national language.

Also, you know what sucks, when you absolutely know Mexican immigrants consider you to be their little b**** who can't say anything because you are a white man in America (the land that obviously hates that time). When I go to a mall and some Mexican woman rams her stroller with her baby into me pushing me out of the way or walks right into me.

Or the guys that stare me down for just.. being there. No, there is a lot of racism in this country and it belongs mostly to the Mexican invaders, we like to start crap over black/white relations but it isn't half of the problem that we have with the cultural war and yes ethnic war we are having as American citizens and Mexican immigrants taking over while playing innocent.

If you don't like me, well deal with it because I won't silence anymore and let you jerks destroy my country which my forefathers built and fought for because of some tree hugging libs who refuse to support protecting our borders.

As it is: prejudice is growing against at least Spanish speaking Mestizos for the reasons you stated----------from both Black and Anglo White Americans along with quite a few Americans of Mexican, etc. heritage.

Even if it can be determined that we need laborers from Mexico to fill agricultural jobs here, these Mexicans don't have to be, and shouldn't be, illegal aliens. If we need additional foreign workers to supplement our agricultural workforce, our government could increase the number of visas that it issues, or our government could start up a guest worker program that foreigners would apply for from within their home countries.

Something just has to be done, I don't have a prob with people who have been here for generations but the days of mass immigration are over. We are a populated country and now it is a battle of who will remain in control of it.

I don't feel bad for being prejudice of that culture that is overwhelming us and taking advantage of our hospitality. I don't feel bad about that at all. The problem is, people rarely see the difference between hating someone for their genetics and hating a culture, I don't even hate the people, I hate their actions. I am an American, not a Mexican, I don't want Mexico to annex America. That isn't racism, that is patriotism.

The pendulum is swinging against illegal immigration as we speak.

Actually; the country that had better worry about subjugation is Mexico, not the USA----------especially with the growing drug wars in the former country.
