As for what Rush said...he has a point, that's Mexico's immigration laws. But last time I check I didn't see 100K people rushing their borders to live in that country, hence what he is referring to is pointless.

I never said you should make them legal. Having said that, you would probably find there are some jobs Americans aren't willing to do.Major_Spittle wrote:
If this is true, then making the illegals legal would screw us the same as sending them home. If they are US citizens they will no longer be willing to work at those jobs only an illegal would do.
Since it was posted on an international forum. I'm sick and f*cking tired of everyone who disagrees with what I say saying to shut up because I'm not American. If it's really that much of a problem for you, make your own forum where only Americans are allowed. Otherwise, tell me why I'm wrong.Darth_Fleder wrote:

The US was established by English speaking officials and as this is the best we have for a native language reference it's what we have to go with for now, sure there were plenty of immigrants in the 1700's but they had to communicate in English to get around. While technically you are correct in that congress has been debating as whether to call English "National" or "common" (pussies) for years speaking English IS a condition for immigration and more than half of the States have officialy adopted it. I wish we had never needed to bring the topic up, being that most of the previous immigrant groups had the desire to integrate with American society AND do so legally, this group currently referenced seems only to want to bleed the economic system for it's own self gain and remain as isolationist as possible.bakarocket wrote:

And don't post if you didn't listen to the linked thread
Good God! as said in earlier posts, america was founded by immigration which was deemed legal by the immigrants with no consideration to the people actually living there (Indians). So now, because we, the 'Americans' decide that we can close our borders and end the immigration that we were founded upon? I know that it doesnt work if we just open our borders to everyone but we can't treat these people like scum. They are the base of our economy.
And for all you people saying 'they're taking our jobs' bullshit, i have yet to see a white american work in the fields picking strawberries.

Okay、kr@cker, I just listened to it.
First,
They only needed language support when they were dying, sick, or paying taxes. Just like now.
The people who are immigrating to the US now did NOT make those rules, their government did. And that is the problem with people. They think that a government is representative of the people. Bullshit.
A government is representative of the government. Rich people, powerful people, people who know who to blow and who to kill. This is the same everywhere, including the USofA.
They knew there were more opportunities for poor people in the US, and they knew the myth that anyone can go from pauper to President. That's why these people are in the US right now, because they know that if they run out of money, they won't die like they would at home. Some of them will take advantage of it, but that's the price you pay for being one of the kindest countries in the world.
First,
This is technically untrue. The Germans in the 1700's, Italians and Chinese in the 1900's, these folks DIDN'T learn English. Their kids did. Without government langauge support, (for stuff like hospitals), these (mostly illegal, Ellis Island was only where the legal ones went) immigrants simply spoke with other people from their countries.sure there were plenty of immigrants in the 1700's but they had to communicate in English to get around.

I'm sorry, but I think this is wrong, too. Only in movies do people say, "I want to be a part of this GREAT nation!" They didn't come to America to become Americans, they came because they wanted to eat. They didn't give a fuck about the principles of America except the ones that said they didn't have to give their crops to the local Don/Lord/Prince every year in order not to be killed.being that most of the previous immigrant groups had the desire to integrate with American society
Limbaugh quotes Mexican immigration policy. Is it a wonder that a country with laws as fucked up as that has such a high emigration rate? Their laws towards citizens are just as fucked.

Funny, I don't remember much German, Italian or Chinese in the constitution. That's the point I was trying to make. By this point some of the colonies were a couple hundred years old, I work on the east coast and don't rembember coming across any all German towns, whereas I commonly run across entire suburbs where you can go miles without seeing a sign posted in anything but Spanish. Sure some of the metropolitan centers have a chinatown or little Italy (which themselves are known as havens for illegals), it's in no way near as widespread as the illegal latino populations where you can find even the smallest towns like Calhoun, Ga. where you need a translator to function on the entire North side of town.bakarocket wrote:

This freedom being a principle of America worth giving a fuck about.Only in movies do people say, "I want to be a part of this GREAT nation!"

And this excuses the fact that they are doing this in an illegal manner how? You don't like you're country you should have the balls to try to change things first, I don't remember any stories of Fox executing political rivals. What if all these illegals went back and started a political revolution in their own country? Of course it's much easier to go to someone else's country that's already established as an industrial superpower, then start spouting secessionist sentiment like that republica del norte crap. As for my wanting to live there, that's an interesting concept, if I could scratch up enough investment capital I could be rolling in it with some investors by the time I retire. Mexico is rich in natural resources, they just need to change the laws regarding property rights, right now if you find oil in your back yard it becomes Fox's backyard. Almost Fascist in a sense. Oh, that's right, not being native Mexican I wouldn't be able to "rock the vote" as they say.Limbaugh quotes Mexican immigration policy. Is it a wonder that a country with laws as fucked up as that has such a high emigration rate? Their laws towards citizens are just as fucked. Would you want to live there?
To say an elected government is in no way representative of it's people, especially in the good ol Representative-Republic with strong Democratic tradition (not a democracy) US of A is simply ignorant.
And I know I skipped refuting a few things, but as Aristotle (I think, one of them greek dudes) said, "in matters of opinion, there can be no end to debate"
As a matter of reference, where are you from?
If they took all of job ______ then there wouldn't be anyone else doing job _________ now would there, you just refuted yourself, had you said "I see crackers all over them damn strawberry fields" you would have proven something.CommieChipmunk wrote:

That's because they have driven the wage to do so below fair market value, I say kill the welfare system and send all the freeloaders to the strawberries. Funny you mentioned this, I just bought 4# of strawberries from a grower known for using illegals, I picked them my self and saved $4.00, in just half an hours time, double that savings and that's more than minimum wage, which is what some of these lazy crack whores are making flopping whoppers in between trips to the dealer and DFACS to get some food stamps that I paid for.

Well, German would be the only likely one, because the Chinese and Italians weren't really there yet, but I see what you're saying. I wasn't trying to imply that English wasn't the dominant language, I was just saying that it wasn't the only one....German, Italian or Chinese in the constitution.
That's now. 200 years ago was a completely different situation. Illegal immigrants are nothing new in America. It's just recently that it's become a big issue, and it's NOT because there are more latinos per capita, it's because it's a good political tool for both sides of the spectrum. Though there may be more latinos per capita now than illegals per capita before, there's no way for us to find out. There were no records of illegals before unless they were obviously illegal (Chinese, etc.) I'd like to research this more thoroughly but we can't. That's why neither side should say that "there are more/less Latinos per capita", there's no evidence except anecdotal that it is true. While you can compare anecdotal evidence of one person at two times, you can't compare the evidence of two people at two times.By this point some of the colonies were a couple hundred years old, I work on the east coast and don't rembember coming across any all German towns,
I agree wholeheartedly. This principle is part of what made America great. But the immigrants aren't thinking about it as a principle, they are thinking about it as a way of living better than they do now.This freedom being a principle of America worth giving a fuck about.
It doesn't. Nor does it condemn them more because their government is stupid. It just is and neither side should use it.And this excuses the fact that they are doing this in an illegal manner how?
Lots of people would die? Who the fuck wants to die when there's a perfectly good country just across that river over there?What if all these illegals went back and started a political revolution in their own country?
I don't think so. The very fact that almost all democracies are representative-republic (in fact if not in name) means that they don't represent the will of the people all the time. More importantly, politicians are no different than the KNights and Lords of the 17th Century. They don't join up to help people, they join up to lead people. If they help the people along the way, great. That gives more leverage with the people when they want to lead. But they don't do it out of goodness. Not ignorance, just opinion on the nature of humans.To say an elected government is in no way representative of it's people, especially in the good ol Representative-Republic with strong Democratic tradition (not a democracy) US of A is simply ignorant.
Absolutely.And I know I skipped refuting a few things, but as Aristotle (I think, one of them greek dudes) said, "in matters of opinion, there can be no end to debate"
If you don't mind me asking, does it matter? I was just wondering how it would change your opinion of what I wrote here. I'm not trying to be sneaky or conniving, I just think that the anonymity we both share about each other's background is what has helped this discussion remain civil. When we know locations, we tend (at least I do) to judge people based upon our preconceptions of the people who live there.As a matter of reference, where are you from?
EDIT: I just realised you have your location in your sig. But I didn't notice it, so I think my point here still stands.
Last edited by bakarocket (2006-05-31 22:23:21)
It seems we have both come to see the relevance of both our stands, though it took some posting to weed them out, details are a casualty of internet communication. As for location, you will find I'm not one to prejudge someone, in fact I throw my racial/regional status in people's faces every chance I get for the very reason I don't think it should be a primary factor, tertiary at best. I only find it interesting as a footnote to see why people opinions may have been formed, but as I told Mrboogman on page 2 of this thread I for one go out of my way to define people by their actions, then their identity (in regards to this matter), for that matter check some of my comments on Spastic Bullet's "this land is your land" thread. Though you're right, alot of people look at your age/race/sex/location/boxersorbriefs/etc and judge you before they hear you. Obviously, in regards to my nametag, I couldn't care less if they did do this, this just proves them the dipshit. I would put my city in my location, but chose "southeastern US" as this is an international forum and don't expect everyone to know where Macon, Georgia is.

I do see your points. I still don't know the answer to the problem, nor am I entirely sure it's a problem though. I think that politicians are the same everywhere, and I don't trust them anywhere. The difference is that in some places they can get away with more. Now, if they think that illegal immigration is a problem, I have to doublecheck their numbers, because those fuckers lie a lot.
I don't want America to end up like Mexico. I want America to be the beacon the rest of the world uses to see the shore. I'm afraid of what will happen if these rules come in, and others that are similar, and am also afraid that there's nothing we can do about it if they do. History has cycles, and nations do too.
But the big thing is that the world has one thing now that it never had before, and that's the internet. I think if anything can help us stop being dickheads to each other, it's the fact that we have forums like these to yell at each other on.
That's why I'd like my nationality to remain unknown. Because when no one knows who I am or where I came from, they have to think about the argument instead of how I came to believe the argument.
It's not because I don't trust you specifically to judge my opinions based on merit alone, it's because most people don't. Including myself, sadly.
EDIT: For idiocy
