Legal Immigration from Europe and Mexico compared by year.

As everyone can see the legal immigration from Mexico has been almost twice as large as from all of Europe. This does not include the illegal immigration from Mexico.

I have no problem with legal immigrants, only illegal once. But we all should have the same rights / follow the law no matter where from.

All cities or counties need to heavily scrutinize all Hispanic's that are registering to vote to make sure they are legit. As far as I know, fraudulently attempting to register to vote is a third degree felony.

If something is going on in my area I'm there if I can :)

[Mon]

Thank you :)

Oh how neat! I'm from Nuremberg, southern girl :)

I'm sorry you are having all these problems! It's a joke! Friend of mine is trying to get the green card for almost two years now, even though her half siblings live in Arizona. She was told she is on a waiting list for about 10 years! She and her husband are German, they have a business here, pay taxes and have a few employees......... but both of them and the daughter (8) cannot live here. The son is here legally on a student visa (becoming a doctor and paying 5 times the tuition or more, can't remember exactly).
A joke really.

Burlington (where I live) is not so bad yet, also Burlington-Edison High School is ok, MT Vernon has a 40% hispanic population now. Again, I don't mind the people, I don't like the once that break the law :)

[Mon]

Thanks :)

With all due respect, my friend, Dim-o-rats don't give a crap about what's legal or illegal and most Pubbies don't have the b**ls to stand up to them. Liberals stuff ballot boxes every election with thousands upon thousands of votes.

Welcome and thanks for doing it right. My great grandfather was the only member of the family to emigrate to the United States after the United States declared itself a sovereign country. He came her in 1863 from Wales. The other family lines arrived on the Mayflower (1620) and through Jamestown, VA.

Hang in there, buddy. We'll all be on equal footing soon.

Amen HiJinx!

My wife's family went through the same things, legally, expecting no favors, working hard to benefit their new country, the country they love. They came over with nothing, did lousy jobs, and prospered.

Do you happen to know the reason for the really large numbers in 1990 & 1991? I seem to remember the Mexican economy went in the tank- was that when it happened? Was there some special law, act or something that let so many more in during those two years?

[TEEHEE]

Europeans are being discriminated against because they are white. That is the ugly truth of it.

You are correct.

[rodeocowboy]

Welcome, my FELLOW, LEGAL, TRUE AMERICAN. You did it the right way and now you are one of us, the greatest people on earth. Welcome to the family.

I have heard it has something to do with the 1986 Amnesty. I suspect the 1986 Act gave an immediate Green Card, which allowed them to qualify for citizenship in 1990 or 1991, and that allowed them to bring their families. The same thing will happen if an amnesty is given this time. It will increase immigration manyfold.

,i>Nobody can tell me this country is not discriminating against European immigrants, in the name of "diversity." Europeans are being discriminated against because they are white. That is the ugly truth of it.

I know a English-person here from England who ownes a business here and is never going to be nothing but a help to our country that said she, her husband, and kids, have been told by the government that they can never become citizens. From England! How can this be, but poor, socialist people can gain citizenship and be nothing but a job taker, if not a welfare bum.
