Roadbike Makie, thanks for the spelling lesson. Quick question though, did you have a true problem with my spelling, or was it just your liberal instinct to do anything to avoid the real topic we're talking about?

Illegals!

Boy did I learn my lesson.

If they are "stealing our jobs," then why is Colorado having to resort to using prison inmates to pick vegetables after enacting the toughest crackdown on immigrants in the nation?

If those were truly "our jobs," then there shouldn't be a problem rounding up native born Americans to pick peppers, correct?

Just sayin'

No, he doesn't have a fool-proof solution for the illegal immigrant problem facing this country, but I think the president's policies are far better than some draconian round-up/instant crackdown.

I smoked a little dope…and guess what?

FREE HEALTHCARE!

I thought I wasn't allowed to have an opinion on the actual topic, me being one of those foriegners you want dead.

i am under the impression that the anti-illegal immigrant movement is focused on the illegal part of it, not the immigrant part. that may be my own mis-understanding of it (and may reflect my own view and opinion of it as well).

America has always loved immigrants….just not those feelthy Mexican ones.

I think it is a matter of race rather than the illegal part of it. In DC I think you would not see the same reaction towards a blonde Australian illegal inmigrant as you find towards a Salvadorean. Unfortunately, the same thing happens in Argentina with Bolivians or in Spain, Italy, or France (to name a few) with people coming from the Arab world.

Oh, it's absolutely a matter of race….that's why I made my previous sarcastic comment about being as bad as them mexicuns. Do you really think they'd have a problem if we were 'being invaded' by illegal scantily clad scandinavian women?

Why don't they scream and shout about putting a big effing fence up at the Canadian border?

How many poor, non-English speaking Canadians are clamoring to move the the US?

If these Mexicans had PHD's in Computer Science we'd gladly take them.

not sure about that - wouldn't people complain that these smart mexican are stealing all our computer industry jobs? could potentially be a justified complaint, just sayin' that it ain't just edjamakashun….

well, yes and no. while there is a xenophobic part to the whole thing (moreso than simply race-based), to me, my problem is the lack of assimilation, or even the desire to assimilate. i've seen several immigrant marches and protests since i've moved out here to s.f., and my one critique of them remains the same: write the signs in english. that may be simplistic, but i think it goes back to the xenophobia inherent in this issue and a feeling that if they can't be bothered to learn english why should we be supportive. europe has a much bigger problem with their immigrant population because those immigrants are coming from a heritage that is sometimes at odds with the "western culture" of openness and diversity (and women's rights).

as for mankie, regardless of how you got here, you eventually became a legal immigrant and a u.s. citizen. i won't pretend to know the steps an illegal immigrant would need to take to become a legal immigrant and/or u.s. citizen, nor the restrictions placed on legal immigration by the u.s.

I hope the Chinese are nicer to your kids than you are to the hispanics when they can't speak Mandarin or Cantonese…

I must admit, I have a problem with someone moving to a foriegn country then demanding to live within the cultures, laws etc of the place they just left in their new home…Why the hell did they leave their homeland in the first place? For example, when I moved to the US I had to get used to driving on the other side of the road, I didn't demand to be allowed to drive on the left because that's what my culture believes in.

I believe anyone who wants to provide a better life for themselves and their family should be welcomed into a new country…especially a country of immigrants like America. But in return they should respect and live by the laws of that country and learn to speak the language of that country….the issue in the US though, is just what exactly is the official language?

One story I heard on talk radio down here was about some muslims who applied for a job at the meat dept. of Target, then once hired refused to handle pork. WHAT THE FUCK!!! If you don't want to do the job then don't fucking apply, it's that simple. It's that sort of stuff that makes my blood boil.

Certainly ridiculous but I wouldn't be surprised if that story had been made up. Not made up are instances of pharmacists (or "chemists" if you prefer, BUT IN THIS COUNTRY…) refusing to dispense birth control pills or even sell condoms because of their religious beliefs. And they're not Muslims.

Wait, Target sells meat?
