You check your post. I’m sure your on all the anti-Hispanic threads knocking down my demographic. Ah, but you don’t like it because your type thinks you can just pop off without being challenged.

Poof, you are no conservative if you believe those things posted on this news story. Just a typical knee-jerk that, when the word Hispanic is used, you feel a black line of hatred knot in the center of your stomach. Sick, man, folk like you are sick.

Bottom line....if you’re here illegally, get the hell out. If you’re here legally, welcome. Just like any other nationality. You want to get all “sensitive”, go right ahead, if you’re legal we have a Constitution that says you may do so. If you’re not legal, you can go to hell, or at least get out of my country. NO MATTER WHAT NATIONALITY.

So, why should I care what you think.

You are right, you do not know my service. What I’ve done over seas, what I’ve done here, what I do.

What does the story say about illegal aliens? That is the bottom line.

Oh yes, you are sooooo correct, I’m on all the “KNOCK THE HISPANICS DOWN” threads, gee, you sure pegged me..... Why don’t you quit being such a pansy. “Just a typical knee-jerk that, when the word Hispanic is used”..... now, that’s what I would call a “typical pansy knee jerk racist” reaction!!

I say we get rid of Californication. Give the true Americans enough time to pack and go, then separate ourselves from them.

Come on man, admit you hate Hispanics, Mexicans, South Americans... admit that you hate us with passion. Amdit that when you think of folks, like myself, you feel a hatred that we are some how destroying what you see as “your country” and no matter what service, that we, as Hispanics do, it is not good enough..

For it doesn’t fit your idea of what this nation is.

Indeed, and it's refreshing to see a caring attitude, by the way. Even legal immigrants, such as the children of naturalized citizens, face enormous difficulties in school because of language, and not just Hispanics but really every immigrant from any non-English culture. It is in our own best interest to see that legal residents become integrated within our society and culture. We can require that all adult immigrants acquire a rudimentary use of English in order to legally live here but cannot mandate its use in their homes or communities after wards, as they all enjoy the same 1st Amendment right that you and I do.

On one level, we are all more comfortable with people who share our own language and culture. It certainly makes navigating within the wider society easier. Even within the family, which is the basic unit of society, there's a comfort in being able to communicate in a, well, familial way. Each family shares in their own unique ways of communicating with each other, in a way it is their own distinct language.

On the other hand, we are all the children of Eve, and are called upon by God to love our neighbors as ourselves. All people in all the world share more in common in important things than they do in unimportant things. A person's skin color is unimportant. The manner in which a person communicates to others in his family or community is unimportant.

No one wants to see people exploited by others, regardless of their legal status or English proficiency. Unfortunately, such things can and do happen. I was reading in the news of a case of a terrible exploitation, the case in Kentucky of some deranged individual calling a McDonalds restaurant and purporting to be the police, and claiming that a female employee had stolen a customer's purse, and that unless she was immediately strip-searched, a police car would be dispatched to bring her to the police station. So here's a white middle-aged manager being duped into strip-searching a white teenager, and of course and deservedly so there's a lawsuit moving forward over it. But the idea that someone would blindly follow an anonymous caller's reprehensible instructions just because it may be lawful needs to be considered very carefully, as such was the excuse of Nazis, that they were merely following orders, even if they were perfectly lawful ones.

What is lawful is not always what is right and proper and moral, and if native-born English speakers are unable to tell the difference, I too, feel for those who have no clue.

Actually, it sounds more like you hate yourself. Has nothing to do with me.

Oh, playing Jedi yoga twist?

It is your darkness. I just have a ton of light and I shine it on ignorant places where ever I can. Liberal, psuedo-conservatives, gang bangers, abusive adults...

I let them all know their darkness... I know what is right... and I see through the BS.

>>The illegals scam is to suckup as much as they can in the US then return to their countries to live in beachfront condos with money in the bank<<

I have read that they (can/might/do) get ‘injured’ on a job (or someone’s property), sue, (and win!), and also get full disability from SS (usually for ‘permanent’ neck damage), and retire back in their homeland, with a check coming in every month from the good ol USA. Anyone have any links?

**Oh, you said... because you hate Hispanics.**

No.. if she hates anything, it’s ILLEGAL SCUM of ANY COLOR! Which part of this do you RACE BAITERS not Understand.
If you’re here legally, FINE ... you want to stay, EVEN BETTER, all we’re asking is learn the language, our customs, and FIT IN.. As MOST of my ancestors had to do.

If you are NOT here Legally, GET OUT, get the visa then welcome. as I have not mentioned ANY particular race,color,creed, whatever... any RASCISM is on YOUR PART ... not mine!

Oh I see .. the new definition of :

Rascism (v) The act of placing precedence of our Constitution over the petty problem of someones SKIN COLOR

If you want to see NGZ’s posting history it’s easy to do. I just checked it myself. Just checking the first 3 paqes, I see he has not been on any “hispanic bashing” threads. There are lots of people watching what you’re writing, I tried to stay out of it but you are the meanest most hateful poster I’ve seen since Howlin left and that’s quite an accomplishment! Especially attacking women like you were, you’ve got issues.

This isn’t about Hispanics-or the Spanish language, for that matter; it’s about ILLEGALS. YOU seem to be the one unable to separate ILLEGALS from Hispanics here. While it would be inane to dispute the fact that most illegals are Hispanic, I’m sure nobody here believes that ALL of them are-or that all Hispanics are illegals. Ridiculous, isn’t it? The bottom line is: THIS ISN’T ABOUT YOU. If you truly are conservative and hard-working, that’s great-more power to you. I would think you’d be concerned about the social and economic drain on this country owing to the illegals, humanitarian matters aside. Also, I would say that your third paragraph seems to reflect a certain bigotry on your own part.

I don’t mind. If you think it is okay to chase off all the Hispanics from this forum, all the African Americans, all the Jewish, and every other minority group because of all the hatred from thread like these then I’ll be happy to challenge your notion of what a conservative is.

A conservative is not a person who reads a story about Hispanics and instantly believes it is about an illegal alien.

So, spook me with your “I’m watching you” BS.
