It is very important to remember that unlike Black Americans, bigotry against Mexican Americans is still not being fully addressed.
Amnesty should continue to be part of our approach when attempting to solve our immigration problems with Mexico. The contributions hard-working Mexican Americans make to our society easily wipe out any so-called "free benefits" legal or non-legal immigrants may obtain through local, state, and federal programs.
Unlike some other Americans, many Mexican Americans are good people who possess a deep faith in Almighty God. Therefore they deserve to be treated with compassion & respect. In addition, we should double or triple the number of immigrants allowed on an annual basis with our friends from Mexico.
We must not forget that it is only with great difficulty & through hard work at low-paying jobs few other Americans want that many Mexicans eventually become citizens of the United States. It truly a blessing that so many Mexicans seek the opportunities the USA offers, & we should be honored to receive them in greater numbers into our country.
I want the border closed.
You don't have to put sovereignty below the teachings of the Church if you call for the border to be close but call for JUST punishment in our laws.
The laws were still the laws then..in many cases even more restrictive. You are just dancing around the punishment to meet the crime issue.
Whether they are “good” or not, those who violate the rules ought to face negative consequences.
Shutting down emergency rooms is a huge problem. A year ago, my wife waited in an emergency room 10 hours to be seen by a physician for chest pains. We were the only people in the waiting room who spoke Englishs.
Ummm, it was a different accent, but the Irish spoke English.
No comparison whatsoever between crime by the Irish and crime by this wave of illegal immigrants.
HERE IS YOUR MOST ACCURATE COMMENT — “I just don’t have enough info to respond.” Your comparison of previous immigration and this invasion is simply preposterous.
The punishment? So far I have not seen any. Yet, what is it about deporting them back to their homes that you find so reprehensible?
Utter nonsense.
If honest people give more to society than criminals, we are supposed to ignore the criminals?
Until when? Until the balance shifts and the criminals prevail?
I don’t like Communist.
When they stay in Mexico... yes they are good people!!!
There you go again. Of course they caused some legal problems, but it is infinitesimal compared to what has happened with this invasion. The Irish didn’t bring millions of dollars of marijuana and cocaine into the country and have organized murderous gangs in every single major city in this country. The Irish assimilated. This group of invaders, and invaders is the proper term, has no interest in assimilation. Comparing the language to Chinese is again preposterous by you.
I’m Irish/German. My grandfather from Ireland fcame here in the early 1900s. His English was just fine.
From your very first post, your comparison is foolish beyond belief. We
PEOPLE ARE GOOD PEOPLE.
LAWBREAKING PEOPLE ARE BAD.
PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THEY HAVE THE ORIGINAL RIGHT TO OWN THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES (LA RAZA) ARE BAD.
They came here to escape something so horrible that they left much of their families behind just like almost all of the people who came to these shores. Would you ever want to be forced to leave America and go back to where your ancestors came from?
That would be a punishment of unimaginable magnitude.
As far as the drugs..we won't stop that until we control the border and we won't get control without the fence and we won't get a fence without making a deal with the cheap labor lobbyists making money off these people unless we take them out of their cold dead hands.
So if you kill the deal, look for a new crop of drug dealers to move into you neighborhood real soon cause their ain't gonna be a fence without a deal.
So are you saying that all illegals are welcomed by all Marines?
Post 101 had nothing to do with the point in post 98.
Mexicans in Mexico are good people, Mexicans ILLEGALLY invading our country are CRIMINALS.
Guess you missed the article about all the people just sitting around Mexico living off money coming from the U.S. They refuse to work at any of the traditional jobs.
What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
There won’t be a fence WITH this deal.
