Feliz Cinco de Mayo mi hermanos

[El Kabong]

Here we go ...

....oh wait....oh crap....we don't have a smilie with a sombrero and a big black old school handle bar moustache

[killersheep]

I can understand that....but did the Irish, Italians, or Germans, or Russians, or Chinese, or Japanese wave their flags around when they wanted to be counted as citizens


You have a right to love your country of origin and I'm not against that at all. My point was more about the protest marches where instead of making the point that they were trying to be seen as LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS they made the point that they were Mexican by waving the Mexican flag and honestly I found that just a little unsettling.


God bless your grandfather for his service, I am 1,000,000 % for giving people the opportunity to become citizens through service in the Armed Forces.

I do not believe people that aren't citizens of this country should be given rights as if they were citizens and I don't agree with the reasons that they march. However, I place the blame of the illegal immigration soley on corporate America, if not for the opportunity, surely they wouldn't be here, they are trying to better their lives, the people that are hiring them are just cutting down the bottom line, if there weren't opportunities there wouldn't be this problem. 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

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.

Happy Cinco De Mayo Gents...Have some rep...

To thise I missed I just got you in another thread

[El Kabong]

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

[Spicoli]

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

4TH OF JULY!!!!


I have had enough of protesters waving the tri colors in my fucking country...if you're here and legal and are proud to be here then shouldn't you wave the AMERICAN flag If you want to be an appreciated part of this country then start appreciating the country or go back to Mexico and celebrate there....there are other options that won't end with a political rant from yours truly


I loved that holiday but it's not the same since the whole ILLEGAL immigration deal. God love our naturalized American citizens from South of the border but I'm sitting this one out fellas.

My grandfather gives me the right to wave the Mexican flag, and celebrate this holiday, he was an illegal immigrant, but he stood up and fought in WWII to gain his citizenship he proudly waved both the Mexican and American flags until the day he died...................

America was built on the backs on illegal immigrant labor.

so true! at some point we were all immigrants. i owe you some rep.

[El Kabong]

....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).

[El Kabong]

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

[Rommel Balbuena]

English is not the official language in Arizona I don't know about where you live, why change that law?

I am not an illegle immigrant but it took a long time for my citizenship to come through....It was like 11years

For example, all snakes are reptiles but all reptiles aren't snakes. An illegal immigrant is an immigrant but all immigrants are not illegal.

hey i never knew we were talking about ILLEGAL immigrants. why is it that we speak of mexicans ILLEGAL immigrants come up 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.
