It takes a hell of a long time to come here legally.

I know a lot of illegals are good people, and they only break the law because they need to to survive.

I'm poor with no where to live and it will take years to save up for a house. I should be able to go break into one and live in it god dammit.

I'm a good person really. I just want to survive. So it's okay for me to break the law. :D

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hate to bump this thread. But I'm interested in hearing people's opinions on this subject now that America's national anthem was translated into spanish and will be broadcasted this way.

Personally I think it's completely wrong and disrespectful. Not to mention stupid, because it's going to cause even more hate and will send the wrong message.

You dont see National Anthems being played in different languages at International events. When another country's anthem is played it is played in thier language. This is a thing we call respect. Playing it in any other language is extremely disrespectful.

I'm just glad some spanish stations down here in So. Cali have refused to play it. Atleast they can see and even admit it's wrong. Ofcourse, this isn't going to stop it from being played, because other stations still are and some celebreties/singers will be releasing it too. Hell, I even heard that there's a version with modified lyrics to support illegal immigration.

Someone please tell me I'm not the only one alarmed by this.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It's called English. Last I checked the majority of the people here in the states use English.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

So.. what about the large amount of illegal immigrants who use stolen Social Security numbers and other information to steal identities so they can get a job and work? You do need a SS number to get a job, right? Has anyone ever wondered how they get these? They buy them, steal them, borrow them, or use fake ones (which are sometimes real ones of either dead people or living people).

Then if you are one of those unlucky people who have had thier identity stolen alot of companies will not do anything about it. Since it's cheap labor and they are not going to want to get rid of it. It's also apparently pretty hard to clear your name and get rid of huge bills and taxes that get pinned on you when they go unpaid.

Plus, it's hard to know if someone else is using your SS number since Social Security wont tell you and it wont show up on your statement. You only find out when you suddenly get strange bills or get denied something like unemployment because you're already working (usually in a completely different state). A large amount of people have no idea they are sharing thier identity with someone else.

I know the blame can't be put completely on illegal immigrants because the people who have thier identities stolen probably didn't take care of it very well. Also, alot of illegal immigrants do it because they have to if they want to feed thier families or want to make a living. But it can't be denied that it's still a problem with illegal immigrants.

After reading the thread I now understand I've been wrong on many of the opinions I've held on this subject. But this part of the problem is pretty bad, dont you think? I also dont hear it talked about very much when it comes to illegal immigration..

How ya doing, buddy?
