I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
For instance, I've seen figures that's stated there's about eight million unemployed Americans right now. I've also seen figures that state there's up to fifteen million illegals in our country. So if all the illegals were removed from this country it'd be easy to assume that. a) We'd have no unemployed Americans. b) Since demand for workers is so high, wages/benefits will also be high. In fact I bet every sixteen year old could get a decent paying job. (By decent I mean above the current minimum wage) Bottom line, Mexico's problems are the result of their corrupt and inadept oligarchy. They need to deal with their problems there, instead of coming here to create even more problems for the average American. I was speaking idiomatically. |
damn imgants I ahte them i wul;d gotten a job last week but hup sum fucking immigant from china or africa or one of those fucked up plases gt it instedand i got real issed offf. wat we shuld do here in vanuatu is put sea mines off the cost of luganville and portvila becuase they keep coming in. fuckers.

I will be banned on April 2, as well as the other account I own.
I have had a good time acting like an utter ignoramus, however, I believe I need a long, long break from the boards, which is why I have done what I have done. |

Wesker, a number of politicians have brought up your point (about the flags) and have even said that they started as sympathetic, but after seeing what seems to be an anti-American sentiment and only unity in the "mother" country, they now back the proposal.
What worries me about this is that most of the protestors do not understand what the issue is about. I teach at a school on the Mexico/US border. Many of the students are mad because other people tell them to be mad, but they have not actually read what the bills are about. They say "oh they want to kick the Mexicans out" and I have to ask them,"Is t he bill only about Mexicans?" "No..." "Is the bill about people who were born in the US?" "No..." We have really long conversations of teeth pulling until they realize that it is really not about what they think it is about! On a somewhat unrelated note: I can understand that it is a pain to actually obtain United States citizenship. Not as hard as some other first world nations (even as a well educated adult, I still wouldn't have enough points right now to become Canadian for example), but the pages of documents that you have to fill out, provide, understand and so forth can be overwhelming. I wonder that if our process made more sense and were refined, we might find more people willing to use the legal routes... Jam it back in, in the dark. |

But is it better to have local jobs taken by illegals instead of outsourced? According to opinions I've read, illegals not only don't help the economy, but actively harm it.

I do agree with you on the topic, though. I live in Quebec, where a college (CĆGEP) education is basically free (my tuition fees were $150 per semester). Free to citizens, anyway. If you're from another country, or even - I think - from another province, you have to pay more. Well suffice it to say that there are a lot of immigrant assholes around here who aren't happy enough paying a mere $800 or so per semester. They want it even cheaper like the rest of us whose families BUILT this @#$%ing country. They have absolutely no gratitude for living somewhere where they can get an education, let alone getting it so flipping cheap. So when you talk about these walking shitstains with no regard for the law, that you Americans are having trouble with... well it's a no-brainer. Double Post: By the way, I think it's funny how minutemen have been monitoring the B.C.-U.S.A. border recently. What, did they expect to catch a few Chinese or something? Do some of you guys honestly think that any Canadian would need or want to cross into the U.S.A. illegally? That's a fine joke if I've ever heard one! How ya doing, buddy?

They also said that these are well-paying industries - 15-20 dollars an hour - and that the home-building market, which is responsible for 15%-18% of our GDP. I was speaking idiomatically. |

Just because one example doesn't hold it doesn't mean the whole argument is wrong.
What the hell. That's like saying: A: All medical doctors perform operations. B: AHA! Psychiatrists don't! Therefore all doctors do not perform operations. And where did I say Americans would not do them? You need training for these jobs, I am assuming the employers would rather go with illegals who know how to do their work rather than training an american from scratch. It's the nature of capitalism. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
And you've provided the best example I've heard as to it being a bullshit excuse to undercut society's wages. And it does discredit the argument in it's entirety because it goes to show that employers are hiring illegals instead of citizens in order to cheap out. And the justification that citizens 'will not' do the job are only true because the jobs have been targeted by the employers at those which will do it illegally. It is indeed the nature of capitalism, but that doesn't mean that it's right. The minimum wages, etc. are in place for a reason, and this is just a way to get around those laws. Jam it back in, in the dark.

To tell you the truth, I have illegal immigrant friends who do make $12 as painters. Not that far of a stretch.
Most Americans will not clean shit for $6. Illegals will. Therefore illegals profit. Capitalism makes it work. okthxbye. It's not inherently bad, it's the nature of the beast. How ya doing, buddy? |

Of course, if you'd actually read what you quoted, you wouldn't have said what you said.
Plus, how old are you? If you're a teenager or in your early 20s still in school, then of course you would be working for $6.75/hr because that's pretty much the only place people your age get hired because you have no real marketable skills yet. I was speaking idiomatically. |
Like I said before, I am 18 and I make $12.00/hour, $20.00 sundays.
I live in a high-paying state, though. I said Americans wouldn't do shitty jobs for minimum wage according to the Americans I know. Maybe I am wrong, after all. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |

Apparently your welfare laws are considerably different than mine. 'Round here you don't get welfare just because you don't feel like working, you need to be laid off from a job and meet other requirements. Plus it only lasts for so long.
Pretty strange system you've got. There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, massachusetts is crazy ain't it.
Every lazy bum bastard from my high school ends up in welfare. They don't work much. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
First i would like to dive into my background though for a second, First im of a truly mixed background ( ethnically) My Father is of Mexican-Mestizo extraction where my mother had parents who were English/Dutch - And Irish/Cherokee(50%) - so I come from a diverse background More American than most being that i have more than a quater native american blood, and More american in the way that US here in America of mixed ethnicities represent what the future will look like ( that is once MTV has properly penetrated every society on earth).
Anyways on to the point WATTS - your assumptions are just that assumptions because it is a known fact that within a unemployment Rate % that u will always have a amount of people that wont work even if u gave them a job for $20 D/H - and the Rate of those is about half - so if u have 8 million unemployed u can Estimate from Research that has been done that 4 million wouldnt work if they where given a job. Also Dealing with the Flags me being of Latino decent i understand this - Latins like to display the country they came from, ive worked with illegals and have many friends who are latin imigrants including even my own family who mostly only speaks spanish, Thing is the hispanic culture is different and in this culture the country of their birth or Parents birth means alot. I dont take the flags being displayed as dissing america. The country is always important, I look Kinda white so people hear me talk spanish First Question most ask - What country are u from? Although i dont really see the relevance and importance in this, I find Ethnicity to be more of interest to me that Nationality. Also the comment made a while back About Illegals Defrauding our nation by not paying taxes - Dont u think it is This country Defrauding the world by not using the greater part of our wealth to Educate Say People in Mexico So they would know how to build up their own country instead of immigrate here, Or how bout Fight Corruption in these countries, instead of setting up sweat shops to take advantage of poor people like our corporations do. Bottom line - I think its insane that congress would even propose a bill to make illegal immigration a Felony. Lets see A person wants to work and make his familys life better than what they can get in thier own country so HEY lets make Them Felons and lock them in prison, Sound pretty fair to me. And wether or not u like it this country was founded on Illegal Immigration and Destruction that caused the death of millions of My kin ( which was caused by the other half of my blood). I personally see nothing wrong with someone trying to improve their situation - and if Them doing this Means crossing a Border - then do U think they would Care What you or I have to say - i know i wouldnt sit around in a corrupt country and watch my children go without Proper education and stuff when i could cross a simple border and make thier lives 100 times better. Although this is not the intention of all illegals - The majority of the hispanic illegals i know ( i know lots and have some in Family) are trying to do this.
