Excuse me but your brain isn't working correctly I don't think. If someone broke into your house without your permission and offered to clean it you would let them stay? What if 10 or 20 broke in and wanted to stay and all took a hand in cleaning your house but of course you had to feed them also. In addition any health care expense would fall on you and they would demand that they not have to pay any rent. Simply being in your house would be considered ample payment to you, don't you know?
AND on top of all that they would demand that you give them more rights to your personal life and tell you what a jerk you are and that your house really belongs to them because back in 1648 their great, great, great grandfather killed an Indian on that spot and slept on the ground next to a campfire, therefore making the land your house is on righfully theirs.
Sounds ridiculous right? Unfortunately this is basically what is going on in this country right now. La Raza says that for us to pass an illegal immigration act that requires them to have american values and to assimilate into the American culture would "be dangerous to their coumminties" and they can't allow that!
Nice, huh? Start thinking for yourself and try reading a little more about MS-13 and organizations such as La Raza, it may help you come out of your liberal fog!
If you read my original post on this thread, you will see that I have in fact done so and the anti-American attitudes are disturbing to me.
Unfortunately I don't like the kind of arguments that are used against illegals, either. The knee-jerk arguments against people who clean our toilets, our houses and do a lot of low-level industrial work no citizens want to do anymore strike me as wrong-headed and chauvenistic.
The truth is that it's not like breaking into anyone's house. They are here because we're giving them work. They want to work and I really like that about them. What could be more positive a thing than people who work and try to send money to their families to give them a better life? We have people who are risking their lives every day just to work!
I'm dealing right now with American workers who don't want to work, who are lazy and incompetent. I'd rather have illegals, but there are none here to hire. I miss them, because they were good, and because they liked to work hard. If you treated them well, they would treat you right, unlike slothful, cynical Americans.
Our work ethic and culture have gone straight downhill in the last couple of decades, and illegals show us how far down we've gone. Perhaps that's why there is so much resentment against them.
And I think it's that resentment that leads to the kind of backlash we saw in the "We hate America!" demonstrations.
Can't we just ... get along? Rodney King was a bad person, but that remark resonates in my mind.
