No that is not the fault of posters.
I have made no comments on citizenship here although others seem to think I have.
It is the fault of posters that this woman, for all we know traveling as many people in this country do, has been called,,well you can read the thread. And it was a knee jerk reaction from early on in the thread.
We do not know her cicrcumstances. We do not know why she was on that plane. We do not know when her baby was due. We do not know who she was coming to see.
If she just wanted to get here to have a baby, why take a plane to Chicago. Why not just drive across the border like the rest.
It is indeed racist to assume that all Mexicans are just sleezily trying to get into this country.
The truth is that, while inconceivable to many here, most Mexicans love their homes, families and have no desire to be American citizens.
Absolutely true. They proved that when they marched in mass with Mexican Flags last spring. Which is why they should be in MEXICO.
"The truth is that, while inconceivable to many here, most Mexicans love their homes, families and have no desire to be American citizens."
That is the whole problem, hello? They are coming here in droves and they don't care about our country. Why should we let them in or let them stay? So they can undercut wages and living conditions? How is that a positive for the average American? Don't we have the right to decide who immigrates here based on our needs? If not, why not?
