mom'sfolly :
I just want to make a small point. If you see someone shopping at Walmart or anywhere else you can't tell they are illegal immigrants or if they are immigrants at all. They are just brown people who are different than you. Any comments that make that kind of statement are racist, nothing else.
Last time I checked you can't tell someone's immigration status by the color of their skin, or there shopping habits.
Our borders are porous, and our companies employ illegal immigrants. Stop the job supply, stop the problem. Walmart, Tyson, large companies, small companies, big agriculture, meat packing, construction, all rely on foreign, often illegal labor.
is that like blaming me for leaving my keys in my car and having it stolen?,, its not the thief's fault, its the car owner.
BUT,, that said,, i think ANYONE that doesnt fill out the right forms when hiring someone,or just knowingly hires an illegal, should be punished as bad or worse then the illegal immigrant.
i've lived on BOTH borders, and when i talk about illegals, i mean every single person that crosses the border illegally.
i live where there are more latinos then there are white people,,,,, but i consider all of us americans,,,,and isnt ANYONE born here in the usa an american?but no,,, people want to feel special and be called "whatever" americans,,,,,,, if this country was built by a a "melting pot" of people, who came TOGETHER to become 1 nation,,,shouldnt we all be called americans??
when people say "mexican" they should be talking about a mexican national,when talking about an american that has spanish ancestry, they should be called "americans"
and who thinks every "brown skinned" person they see is an illegal? or cant speak english means their illegal? ( inconsiderate yes, not ALWAYS illegal)
and i think its funny how americans and others say we are so racist,,,,go to other countries ( out of the TOURIST areas) and see how WE are treated.,,go to mexico, cuba,africa,, see how your treated,, then, stand out in the middle of the street with a sign and cry bout it,,, what do ya think will happen? How many people in any other country. People that dont want to be stereotyped, shouldnt stereotype their "so called" opposition.
and HOW can these illegals have such a HIGH work ethic,, but not have any ethics on abiding by the laws??and work ethics dont define people,, i know alot of drunks and worthless souls that have a very HIGH work ethic, but socially and morally have NONE. and if the illegals dont like getting paid $1 a day,, then they should follow the law, because THEN we make sure they get paid a certain amount.,,(here comes the "well the farmers will only pay $1 or nothing at all",,),, well then that farmer will go hungry if his fields arent harvested or grow at all.and another farmer who abides by the law will come along, and hire people who can LAWFULLY work here.
