not sure about this one.....and the impairments are?
Some folks work 3 and 4 jobs to survive and provide for their children. For older adults its hard to learn a second lanuage. Now, do they speak it fluenty...maybe not. But I'm sure they can defend themselves and send you to hell real quick if they had to. Stop worrying about other people and what they speak and worry about yourself.

Some of the ones you mention are good citizens , most are illegal or children of illegals .

Why can't you do all this in your own nation ?

I can tell you why , because you can't lay up on each other while you get all these free services and educations . We pay for your huge families educations, shelter , feed , give healthcare , put you up in business , and even let you break laws Americans go to jail or pay heavy fines for . We don't owe you anything , not one red cent . We should't have to pay to take care of your families, One of you works and ten others live off the people of this nation the rest commit crimes and we pay to keep you locked up .

Some of you use to come here and join our nation legally these are the Americans who deserve to be citizens, not the criminals who over stay visas or cross borders .

The subject is building a nation from the ground up in its early stages. It was mostly white Europeans, blacks and some asians who did that. What does Katrina have to do with that? All Americans have cleaned up after major disasters throughout our history.

I don't care who picks my fruits and veggies as long as they are legally here in our country but you talking about illegal aliens doing that and it is against the law. Sure Hispanics have contributed to our country after is was already built and successful but so have other ethnic groups.

Where is the racism you are speaking of? Who is racist against law abiding legal Latinos?

I do take it upon myself to 'worry' about a bunch of insolent losers here illegally. They need to be punished severely.

My quarrel is not with legal immigrants----------Mexican or not.

Yet you go on to say things that Mexicans have a criminal culture, that they do not assimilate, that Mexicans and those from the third world have a "third world mentality" (this prevents them from working, achieving education goals, etc.). Sorry, but you are honestly quite ethnocentric.

And your point being? The 'race card' no longer works. The party is over for illegal aliens.

We did quite well without illegal aliens for all of the things you listed so your argument is moot.

The issue is not Latinos, Hispanics, or any other ethnic group. We are discussing illegal immigration. If you cannot defend illegal aliens without conflating them with Hispanic citizens of this country, you clearly have no basis for your argument.

You are really grasping at straws there............

Most Mexicans who come here legally tend to assimilate rather quickly. Illegals from that nation tend to be the bottom feeders even back home------which is Mexico's problem-----------not ours.

Besides: if our Anglo-Saxon culture is so damn bad i.e. ethnocentric..........care to explain why the above losers come here and drop Anchor Babies? Mexico is evidently more racist towards Mestizos.
