Immigration and Illegal aliens

[zacs]

i was at the rally in LA and there were more american flags than any other flag. you should know better than to trust the media.

I have mixed feelings on the topic. I agree, we should not support illegal behavior.

I don't believe however, that these people come here to suck on the tit of public assistance. They come here and do the hardest, nastiests, lowest paying jobs. They help keep our standard of living the way it is, and for that I am greatful.

How easy is it to come here legally? I really don't know. Is it as easy as when our grandparents/greatgrandparents came over??? Doesn't seem like it. Perhaps if we made it easier to get in they wouldn't be illegal....

You have to decide on a point of view here Flap. You’re on two dif. Subjects. On one hand you’re saying jump in with both feet etc. being welcoming etc.

Then you make a statement like “Learn English.” Very, very bad juju….

Do you for one second think, that folks who would need to use English as a second language, don’t want to learn it?

Think about that for one second…

Why don’t they know English? Yeah, Flap they’re out working!! They don’t have the time to hang with folks and watch tv, hang out at the local bars and pick up a few lines here and there. I know many folks who bust their hump to make ends meet doing the things no one else wants to do. And its not as easy your statement of just become a citizen. The US has not extended Amnesty for some time now, look up facts.

Don’t take this as a personal attack or anything I’m trying to make you realize what you just wrote.

Look into things further, dig deeper before making statements like learn English. I’d LOVE to see you tell my neighbor, who works 8hrs in a factory comes home grabs his lunch and hits job 2 for 8 hours, then does cleaning work on the side… could you as a man honestly tell this gentleman to “Learn English?”

Oh and Flap, the folks who just collect govt’ dough.. yeah we are’nt too keen on ‘em either.. Unless its an actual necessity, Im sure youd agree that ok then. But every group has some. And no one is proud of theirs.

Vic, I hear you but in my business we have classes available and we pay them to go. 8 out of ten refuse on average. That is the bulk of my experience, sorry.
