You have to understand as well, where these marches are happening this area used to be Mexico, there are people here whose famalies were here before the Gadson Purchase.
I agree with you up to the part about corporate America and the part about how it USED to be Mexico.....well Louisiana, Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas, the Dakota's, and Minnisota USED to be owned by France....and to everyone's surprise no huge French population increase.
1848 and 1853....it's been THAT long since America took the rest of the states.
I love Mexicans but come on....California and Texas and Colorado and New Mexico....it's all America's....we would give you California but we'd have to change our flag ;D
Bottom line is aside from Native Americans we are all illegal immigrants. And I would think that you of all people would be willing to celebrate the French being defeated.Quote:

Well speak for yourself, I'm not an illegal immigrant...my people fought in the Revolution ;) and therefore were some of the first people working with the American government that we all know and love. So I doubt they were "illegal" but I get the point everyone is trying to make when they say that.
As for the French, they have a horrible reputation but aside from being lazy and slaves to political correctness, they are pretty freaking cool. I've been to France and pretty much everyone I met was nice.
I'm just fucking with you anyways...yeah I do get a tad upset about the whole illegal immigration thing but hell there's not much that I can do about it. One thing that actually does piss me off are signs in English then Spanish....just learn English please....that is all
All I know is that if it was not for our Latino brothering and Day to Day workers & additions neighbors from across the border(s)......what ever there 'status', we would still be reliving the day after the Landfall down here.The majority of our 'citizens' fled and waited on the Federal Government to do everything for them & rebuild while others just wanted to make a living....have a happy Cinco De Mayo ;D
so true! at some point we were all immigrants. i owe you some rep.Quote:

....at some point we're all IMMIGRANTS doesn't mean we were all illegal....that's flawed reasoning.
For example, all snakes are reptiles but all reptiles aren't snakes. An illegal immigrant is an immigrant but all immigrants are not illegal.
America is still fed on the backs of illegal immigrant labor - take away all the illegal farm workers and illegal restaurant workers this country doesn't eat. I'm 100% Anglo and Jewish American, born and bred, but I'm proud to call many "illegals" my close friends. Viva Mexico, El Salvador, Columbia, Peru, and all the rest. Even the the D.R. We have much bigger problemes in this country than immigration (legal and otherwise).Quote:

There's 300 million people in America....we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants.
......Americans actually do some work every now and then you know.
And not all the illegals are hard working
Bien ya es 6 de Mayo pero igual Felicidades a todos los Mexicanos somos un Pais lleno de Tradicion en cuanto a Cultura,Historia,y Calidez Humana y claro en la Historia del Boxeo Tambien por eso aunque tarde FELIZ 5 DE MAYO,Paz.
English is not the official language in Arizona I don't know about where you live, why change that law?Quote:

hey i never knew we were talking about ILLEGAL immigrants. why is it that we speak of mexicans ILLEGAL immigrants come up :confused: thats just not fair lyle. All I was saying is that at some point we we're all IMMIGRANTS. I also don't agree on random people coming in with out legal documents, cause my family had to struggle to get here. We went through the process legally therfor I believe it is NOT fair to sneak in illegally and live off the benefits we have here in AMERICA. Remember lyle not all illegal immigrants are just mexicans. They still have many other people from different countries sneaking in. But you know whats worst, Terrorist! you do know we have them around right? atleast some illegal immigrants, all they want is the chance to work. I knew some bring in poverty and criminal gangsters but im sure there not all like that. Some really just want to live a better life and work well for that life.Quote:
