I find it difficult to believe that
ANY LEGAL immigrant has lived alongside
born or naturalized American citizens
for any length of time and has NOT picked
up the lingo. It would seem more likely
the illegal immigrant is the one hiding
out in the community, avoiding any situation
that requires him to speak or answer questions.
You can always tell the illegals by the way
they drive...verrrry slowly and always on the
right hand side of the road. They'll go a
block past their turning point to avoid
going into that left hand lane. Safer to go
a block past and make three right hand turns!
And I'm serious.

Whites males just get to pay for it all. Doesn't matter if THEY were hit too.
The USA better start importing WHITES. There aren't enough left to be blamed and forced to pay for everything.

those who actually were undocumented were started on deportation proceedings

Sounds good, but how many were actually shipped home? How many were back across the next week with at least 14 of their cousins?

Instead they got $7 an hour, inadequate housing and very little food.

I make less.

I watch Noticiero Univision regularly. In fact, I can distinctly recall those folks warning everybody about Katrina.

Hmmmm.

Do Latinas have short memories, or this one just "special".

Guess she'll be riding the short bus home.

"We didn't need a video showing us that the Federal Emergency Management Agency and President Bush had been briefed ahead of time about the eminent threat Katrina posed to New Orleans - it was obvious from the start."

AND DAMN BUSH FOR NOT GOING OUT INTO THE GULF AND WAVING HIS WAND TO STOP THE STORM!!! Of course then Democrats would have attacked Bush saying "He could have put someone's eye out with that thing."

Forgetting for a moment that La Raza is an enemy organization operating on US soil that needs to be shut down, I love the idiotic statement above that's made to sound so insidious as if ANYONE was denying at the time that this was going to be a big storm. This shows the left is still going to use these videos that were discreditted in terms of showing the president was warned of levee breaches to still somehow support their never ending spin that somehow the president failed in his response to Katrina. The dishonesty never stops with these creeps.

Actually, now that you mention it, I heard a brief snip about that on a talk show.

The number of Latinos in the affected area was more than double the amount originally thought. Some 230,000 Hispanics lived in the Gulf states when Katrina hit. Yet, no warnings to evacuate were given in any language other than English. As a consequence, several non-English-speaking casino workers in Mississippi lost their lives.

Sorry but I call bullshit. It is a shame that people lost their lives, but I do not see how the government is entirely to blame because non-English speaking folks can't comprehend that the sights and sounds of other people getting the hell out of dodge is a good enough reason to get up and go yourself- or at the very least, ask someone that you know what he hell is going on.

Hubby worked as a firefighter in an illegal immigrant town here in Calif. They would pull up on a call and the whole family would start jibbering in Spanish. He and his 2 guys would just stand there and look at them, eventually the Mexicans would start speaking English when they realized that noone was going to speak Spanish for them.

Hubby speaks fluent Spanish. He refused to accommodate them and said that most of the time he heard them all trying to get their story straight before they came forward in English.

Lots of these calls were abuse, stabbings, etc.

There was no state and local mismanagement? I would have never guessed.

Perhaps we could incorporate this into an ad campaign - Learn English or Die!

Also - Work Legally or Get Screwed.

The workers had been promised $13 an hour, plus food and housing. Instead they got $7 an hour, inadequate housing and very little food.

When the going gets tough a lot of English gets spoken.

Apparently the typical white male is far more buoyant and storm proof than others of the species.

Hey, Manuel, why are all the crazy gringos leaving town?

If I were vacationing in Mexico and every Mexican fled, while every channel on TV showed a big hurricane in the Gulf with the weather chica drawing a line from where the hurricane was to where I was, I could figure out to head inland even though I don't know Spanish.

Maybe those were the Mexicans which a Georgia sweet potato farmer had complained about running off right before the harvest. The poor farmer had to hire Americans to dig his crop.

Farmers Fear Harvest With Fewer Migrant Workers

Wonder who posted this keyword: "LATINOSHITHARDEST"?

For a moment I thought someone got food-poisoned.
