Gotta be careful here some of the so called Republicans JUST Love them being in this Country illegally!
It would be nice if they would say anyhting at all. Most of the time they just look at you with a vacant stare.
How the heck hard is it to just say "Hi!"--it's their freakin' job!
Ha! Yeah.
That's how a show trial typically works.
I don’t believe the provision in the 1964 Civil Rights act should have included “national origin”. If I want to make fun of Mexicans or Russians or any other idiotic country, I should have the damn right to.
Such comments add nothing to the debate (it doesn’t even work as satire) and his employer is right to repremand him over such a remark.
He referred to those coming across the border illegally as “crminaliens”, and said hospital emergency rooms have become “condos for Mexicans.”
“crminaliens” should have been “criminaliens”

Conservative WTKK radio host Jay Severin was suspended indefinitely today for making offensive remarks about illegal aliens and the swine flu, sources tell the Herald.
Severin was shocked to learn about the suspension, the sources said, as the station had been using those same remarks in on-air promos.
Heidi Raphael, a spokeswoman for station owner Greater Media, confirmed Severin’s suspension saying the station would have no further comment.
“We’re going to sit down with the station soon,” said Severin’s agent and attorney, George Tobia. “I am confident that everything will be resolved and Jay will be back on the air doing great radio soon.”
The Spanish-language daily newspaper El Diario la Prensa in New York City, reported earlier this week that Severin was using the flu to attack Mexicans and immigrants.
“For Severin, Mexicans are ‘criminaliens’ and primitives who export venereal diseases to the United States,” the paper reported. “The shock jock referred to the strain of flu as ‘swine-aka-Janet Napolitano flu.’ ”
“That’s not the end of Severin’s anti-immigrant rants. Immigrants are leeches and their children, he warns, don’t speak English, will retard schools, add to crime and spread disease. Amid all of this, Severin has the audacity to state, ‘I don’t mean to hype the story,’ ” the paper said.
Severin, the afternoon-drive host on WTKK-FM (96.9), declined comment.
"Yeah, well, that's become essentially condos for Mexicans," he said in audio posted on the WTKK website.
LOL
This largely does apply to the illegales.
Chicano? Hispanic? Latino?
How about Chispanitino, that should cover it.
Ok,
I’m not trying to be mean, just trying to learn.
I go to Chicago once in a freat while.
I go to Uno”s original store and get great pizza.
You are a Giordanos patron, why?
Never been there, ya think it is better than Uno”s?
You think employers would rather hire a legal, or hire an illegal, for a fraction of the money? Get real.
I also work for a company where I am sure we have illegals working.
They have real SSI numbers and pass our background checks, but you just know.
The point is: we pay them exactly the same wage.
We cannot get Americans to pass the pre-employment drug test.
Our failure rate is 85% for new applicants; unless they are Hispanic.
The Hispanic pre-employment drug test failure rate is 0.00%
This is my real world experience. Yours may be different.
Granted, but the actions of the 300 illegals shouldn't bring condemnation on the few who actually obey the law.
Why come here legally, wait years, when you can just walk in and get hired by the greedy employers, that love low wage labor?
I agree that this is the issue at hand. I never denied illegal immigrationw as a problem. In fact, I was clear in my original comment that I have no use for illegals. I think they should all be shipped back, and repeat offenders should be prosecuted.
You think employers would rather hire a legal, or hire an illegal, for a fraction of the money? Get real.
Again, I never denied this at all. But then again, if it was that simple, only illegals would have jobs. My point is, the people who have enough decency and self-respect to come here legally should not be treated the same as fence jumpers. In my experience, legal U.S. immigrants are some of the most anti-illegal-immigration people I have ever met, for the simple reason that they did everything the right and got jumped in line by the tunnel rats.
Got a problem widdat?
If you know where to get a fake SS card, I’m sure you can pick up some fake piss. There are people who sell it.
So Mexicans are more clever and industrious than Americans is your point.
