The Immigration Protests

Quote:

Most Americans will not clean shit for $6. Illegals will. Therefore illegals profit.

That's pretty damned hilarious considering that I had a job making $5.15/hr working at a fast food place. My duty was to clean up nasty shit (grease traps included) and sweat my ass off all day, running around and scrambling to get things done.
Believe me when I say that cutting the fucking grass is ALOT easier than working in a fast food kitchen. Hell, in the summer time, the guy who got to go outside and cut the lawn (since the owner never hired anyone) was the luckiest sonuvabitch of that day.

I wonder...how do they handle construction in northern states like Wisconsin or Minnesota? I highly doubt they have a large population of illegal immigrants up there, but I'm sure they manage just fine. I'm also pretty sure that they have landscaping companies up there that charge the same with American workers as the landscapers in the south with immigrant workers.

I just want to set the record straight though. I have no problem whatsoever with immigrants. My grandparents were immigrants after all. The thing that bothers me, though, is that these border hopping douche bags are coming into this nation and being allowed to stay here without having to be burdened with some little hassle called "citizenship".
I mean, is it really that hard to apply and get a green card?

What gets me is the fact that these illegal immigrants can get away with protesting/marching in a nation that they came to and live in illegally anyway. I suppose INS has their collective thumbs up their collective asses at the moment?

I even read something in today's newspaper about a local march. Apparently their was trouble with the immigrants getting permits to protest, so the police bent the rules to give them the proper authorization. OMGWTF.

I could go on and on about how capitalism is to blame, and how a society with an economy maintained by illegal workers will eventually implode upon itself due to the rapid expansion and lack of a sufficently paid consumer base to support it all...but I'm a little too tired to even bother.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I read this on another board and thought it an interesting argument against the protesting:

The last time I checked we live in a democracy and in a democracy
elected officials are supposed to represent citizens, not reign over
them. The time has come to stop electing politicians who have no
regard for the will of the people.
Hypocrisy on the part of our government abound when it comes to
illegal immigration.
This past week, thousands of Hispanic demonstrators, fearful of
strict new immigration laws, chanted "Mexico" and for some reason
waved the flag of the country they fled from and most certainly do
not want to return to. Yet our politicians refuse to listen to the
American people who want no part of their schemes, trying to
convince us that immigration would be good for America. Isn't this
called "biting the hand that feeds you?"
Are our country's leaders views of democracy different than ours? It
seems so. By allowing illegal immigrants to rally and demand the
same rights of American people, politicians are selling all that we
stand for down the drain. I want to be proud to be an American, have
my children, grandchildren and the generations to come that stemmed
from my roots to feel the same. I want to know this country is still
what it was built on, that our government is a still a democracy.

Sadly, President Bush is not alone in his failure to honor the
principles of our democracy. He and many of his administration,
along with congress and the senate are forcing immigration reform
upon the people who are the legal citizens of this country. These
decisions, that will effect future generations, should not sentence
us to a future with an overload of people we will be left to support
through our tax dollars.
First and foremost it is our country, not theirs, they are not
citizens, they have no rights to demand or protest anything. We do.
English is our language, not Spanish, we should not have to be
bilingual for any reason what so ever. We should not assimilate to
their ways, if they want to go through the proper channels and
become an American citizen, be just that an American and pledge you
alliance to this country, not your country of origin. Old Glory is
the ONLY flag flying and honored in this country, many have died so
we can raise it.
If an illegal is sent back to their country but has children who
were born in the United States, that is not the problem of the
American people, it was their choice to have that child and they
will have to pay the consequences, just as citizens in this country
have to pay the consequences for breaking the laws.
Illegals have been allowed to do things, such as driving, buying
homes ect. This is a privilege in this country, not a right, and
privileges must be earned, the same as our citizens have had to earn
them.

I don't agree with the assimilation statement though, since America is a "melting pot".
