You're right! He'll probably hire some poor white guy to speak for him.

You left liberals sure like diversionary tactics and insults, don't you?
You are upset since some rich guy has money and can't speak English. If we keep on attacking the job creators, then we will run them out of the country and there will longer be any jobs left.

Where is your patriotism?

There are thousands of jobs you can qualify for that dont require you to be able to speak a second language...but it galls you that any job favors a worker that is bilingual.

I bet you a million dollars that you have never been fired from a job because your employer required you to learn to speak spanish...
That's a common myth with conservatives Jones, that immigrants, legal or illegal STEAL American Jobs.

Not a poor analogy at all DUDE. You just refuse to get it that's all. No myth at all. Illegal aliens do steal American jobs. How can you possibly deny that with a staright face? Legal immgration should be tied to our unemployment numbers.

I don't care if he is rich or poor. The topic of this conversation is about his inability to speak English after living here for 26 years. Neither his winnings nor his job creation (probably for his own ethnic group) has anything to do with that. One of the signs of patriotism is to want immigrant to come to our country legally and to join our society and embrace our culture and language because well, we are proud patriots of our country.

WOW, bragging about having five kids, yet he forgot to mention to the press that he was $29,000 behind in child support. Apparently that's for just one child. Wonder if there are any more out there that will be showing up in court looking for outstanding child support.

The New Jersey man who just won a $338 million Powerball jackpot is due in court Monday in a child support case.


Authorities say 44-year-old Pedro Quezada owes about $29,000 in back child support.

But Passaic County Sheriff Richard Berdnik announced Saturday that a judge had stayed the warrant until 1:30 p.m. Monday, when Quezada is due to appear before state Superior Court Judge Ernest Caposela in Paterson.

Quezada claimed a lump-sum payment on Tuesday worth $221 million, or about $152 million after taxes.
Sheriff's department spokesman Bill Maer says the state Lottery Division generally satisfies such judgments before winnings are released.

The unpaid child support payments go back to 2009. It's not known which of Quezada's five children are covered under the payments.

What's your point? I know guys who make 100,000's of thousands a year and don't pay their child support.

Straight face? No, I'm laughing at the post.

FactCheck.org : Does Immigration Cost Jobs?

Like I said, that is a conservative's myth, or, talking point.

Anyway, thanks for the laughs and the off topic rants, I'm out of here, because I believe this thread has outlived it's shelf life.

Put them in prison as well -- this guy needs to pay back all the food stamps and Medicaid his children cost the taxpayers and he should be in prison with other dead beats.
