Phyllis Schlafly: Are Mexican Immigrants Assimilating Or Invading?

Your opinions are factually incorrect, racist, disgusting and decidedly un-American

I would have just said that his opinions are different than yours. I don't consider myself racist, disgusting or unamerican, yet I happen to be against immigration, as it is currently practiced. The majority of non-citizens taking up permanent residence in our nation today are illegals. Their first act upon entering our country is to break the law. I don't find this to be a desirable trait for someone entering my country.

On every anti-immigration post at FR it is inevitable that those against are branded racist and are reminded that this is a nation of immigrants. I'll ignore the racist thing (it's so over-used that it is now irrelevant) and agree with the 'nation of immigrants' thing. Past waves of immigrants were needed to populate this nation, but the wide open spaces are long gone. Past waves of immigrants assimilated within a generation or two but that is not the case anymore. Past waves of immigrants supported themselves but now we (taxpayers) do. The argument that these immigrants work to support themselves may be true if a single individual comes here, but saying that a non-skilled day laborer pays the way for himself and the large family that always follows is bull.

Immigration serves two purposes these days. It gives business and the wealthy a subsidized pool of hardworking laborers, maids, gardeners, day care workers, servants, etc. and it increases the numbers of supporters of the massive, centralized welfare state. The people that are allowing the invasion of our country are isolated from all the negative effects. Outside their gated communities however, the middle class pays the price. High taxes, crime, lowered wages and lack of entry-level oppurtunities for unskilled citizens are just some of the negative effects.

I see from other posts that you are American of mexican descent. That makes us fellow countrymen. Try to understand that I don't hate mexicans, eastern europeans, chinese or any other group seeking to come here. I do, however want to keep my country and my culture from becoming a mirror image of theirs. I'm sorry that other countries are badly off but it's not my fault and I damn sure shouldn't have to pay for it.

No, I wouldn't. But the point of the article and I think it has some merit, is that some Mexican immigrants are NOT comming here to become American and join our culture, but instead to bring Mexico to the USA.

I content that this may very well be true since Mexicans can just walk here instead of having to be transported by ships. A quick read of history reveals that more (far more) nations have perrished due to invasion by immirgrants then by armies. Also a small deicated elite can control the actions of a far greater number so if only 5 or 10 percent of the Mexicans living here wanted Asland? Then they could get most of the others to go along.

Is it now the policy of Free Republic to use Admin Moderators to protect and clean up after those who cannot resist disgusting personal attacks, even to this point:

"Oh and my native language is English so f*** off, slob."

Now I can understand deleting the reply with the actual "F-word", but on a heated thread where one poster is using personal attacks so often and freely, it seems fair that the asterisked "F***" version be allowed to remain, to let other freepers see what kind of character they are dealing with. Why is the Admin Moderator being used to shield an abusive and profane poster? Is this the proper role of the Admin Moderator?

What part of the moon are you living on? Stick to working on legalizing pot or whatever nonsense Lib's work on but stay out of the immigration debate because you don't have a clue.

interesting that someone whoe calls himself American Spirit would call legalizing pot nonsense. Do you have something against freedom? Real Americans believe in freedom and would never support the government in persecuting people for using a drug that's much safer than tobacco or alcohol. If you believe pot should be illegal, what do you think we should do about the tobacco and alcohol dealers and users?

Your posts only reinforce the image of unassimilating Mexicans who protect their ethnic brethren even if they are breaking American laws. What generation American are you? And you still are Mexican first and ready to promote interests of your ethnic group even if they are illegal aliens from Mexico?

Thanks. More out-in-the-open people like you, and maybe the people who didn't pay attention to the issue of illegal immigration would start doing so.

The Irish and European Catholics brought with them European culture and values. Mexicans bring neither.

Apparently the Irish and European Catholics forgot to hand you any of their culture and values. Your statement shows an obvious lack of either.

I live in an area with many Hispanics. They have a wonderful culture and many of them are quite conservative and have high moral standards.
If you take a look around, you might notice some Irish Catholics who are quite liberal and totally lack any values.(ie:Ted Kennedy) Fine upstanding Irish Catholic!
There are good and bad apples in every group.

A few days ago on the first thread where I ever saw a post by mvscal, he accused me of "masturbating to Richard Marchinko books", and he repeatedly lies that I am a phony SEAL, that I am a wannabee faker etc.

And he gets away with it, his worst excretions are merely deleted by the Admin Moderators, and on he goes to throw more turds at other freepers.

Sorry, but as thick as my skin is, I want to know why the Admin Moderators are being used to protect this filth spewing character.

If this is now a "forbidden discussion zone" on FR, then so be it.
