Sick of Mexicans Taking our Jobs

It's not GW's fault.It was the people who thought skilled labor was safe from out sourcing, like programmers, cad operators, help desk people and today....engineerss.

Your next!

[La Enchiladita]

Teeheehee.

[philetus]

Please explain to us all just where it says you have a right to job?"

Anti discrimination laws in hiring absolutely say you have a right to a job.

[La Enchiladita]

Well and wisely spoken.

You're an investment banker who screws little investors by getting rich using their money?

I'm all for competition. Legal, fair competition.
Guess that part of the equation escapes you.

I live in northeast Alabama. Last weekend my wife and I traveled across into Georgia, to Cedartown. I saw more Mexicans in Cedartown, GA than I ever did on a visit to Texas!!! I was absolutely stunned at the number of Mexicans walking on the city streets, in cars, sitting in the areas around town. I lost count. My wife was the first to say something. She said, "when the hell did you turn left into Mexico City???" I burst out laughing and said, I was thinking along those same lines!!!

[Skywalk]

Uh, the problem is, plenty of people buy BMWs or even Rolls Royces because not EVERYONE looks to buy cheap on certain items.

The other thing you overlook is that those hiring illegals don't PLAY BY THE SAME RULES!!

Blacks and whites would still be working the vast majority of these jobs if they had a CHANCE TO COMPETE. How the hell can you compete when as an American you have certain protections that illegals are willing to ignore for themselves.

I know someone who had an illegal fall off a roof while working and they simply replaced his ass. Those hiring illegals like a cheap and PLIABLE work force.

You act like it's a pure competition. They can even set up businesses without licenses and do everything under the table so they don't have to compete (again) on the same playing field.

Get over yourself and try to think intelligently. One can be free market and anti-law breaking that puts one person on UNEVEN footing in the market through criminal activity that any of US would get hammered on.

It even comes that way to traffic infractions. They go after Americans and resident aliens far more than they try to nail illegals. Why? Because they know the illegals will not pay or disappear.

"Let's say I break into your house"

---

Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration.

Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely.

Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.
Let's say I break into your house.
Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave.
But I say, "I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors.
I've done all the things you don't like to do.
I'm hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house).
According to the protesters:
· You are required to let me stay in your house
· You are required to add me to your family's insurance plan
· You are required to educate my kids
· You are required to provide other benefits to me and to my family
(my husband will do all of your yard work because he is also hard-working and honest, except for that breaking in part).

If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be there.

It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself.

I'm a hard-working and honest, person, except for well, you know, I did break into your house.

And what a deal it is for me!!!
I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of cold, uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted behavior.
Oh yeah,
I DEMAND that you to learn MY LANGUAGE!!!
so you can communicate with me.

Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?! Only in America .....if you agree, pass it on (in English). Share it if you see the value of it.

If not blow it off...along with your future Social Security funds, and a lot of other things.

Xenophobe!

I know someone who had an illegal fall off a roof while working and they simply replaced his ass.

Oh, not any more, pal. Now they sue---no kidding, and they WIN. They are getting real bold here in So Cal.

[Types_with_Fist]

I will admit I'm a capitalist pig!

[Sir_Ed]

Heh heh heh, yeah, I caught my typo!

I could say they're printed in platinum leaf!

Ed

[Sir_Ed]

That's true.

We used to do thousands of dollars worth of film for our pre-press, now with our calibrated Macs+InDesign+PhotoShop and Adobe professional PDF we just downlaod the settings from our printer and we don't need film anymore.

[Sir_Ed]

When I was a carpenter we had exacting standards, then, little by little the crap we called "California Framing" moved into Spokane, then North Idaho, then Kansas, and when I moved to Vegas to build houses I rarely saw any quality work at all, it had spread across the country, and most of the crews were illegal aliens, paid under the table using absolutely substandard construction.

"No one should have a Mexican ghetto in their neighborhood."

In my girlfriend's old neighborhood in Brooklyn what was once nothing but Italians and Irish is now almost entirely Chinese boarding houses.

They are supposed to be single-family dwellings, but the Chinese move in and rent out the rooms, ten or more to a room, you can see it in block after block after block, and no one gives a damn.

And they never assimiliate. There's no flags flown on Independence Day, no one speaks English so you can say "good morning."

It's literally no different than if they were living in Shanghai or Kowloon.

It's so sad...we're seeing the destruction of our nation.

Immigrants in the past loved America and taught their kids to become America.

Watch the movie Moscow on the Hudson and see all the Russian immigrants struggling to learn the constitution, to learn English.

Not now...the Mexican immigrants wave the Mexican flag and boo Anglo teams, the Chinese act as if they are living in Beijing, not America and the Arabs keep their chadors and hatred of our Western ways.

The republicans should make the democrat undermining of the job market a HUGE issue.

Why waste your time. Bush has always wanted a "new America". Now he's getting it.

THE "NEW AMERICAN"..........<

We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture.

Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende.

For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.

As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico.

George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000.

You can read the speech here.

Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:

In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on.
