illegal immigrants
well, as always i'm probably gonna offend a good portion of you with this post, but what's the fun in it if i can't. Illegal immigrants can kiss my a$%, the protesters can kiss my a$#, and the supporters of legalizing illegal immigrants can kiss my a#$. Notice that i didn't say anything about legal immigrants, and that's because i respect them. I am a legal immigrant, who went throught the hassel and the paperwork to get here. Let me some up the illegal immigrants' arguement in one or two sentences.... 'we came here illegally because we needed jobs and you need us to work, so we deserve for you to educate our kids, pay for our healthcare, pay for services in Spanish, and pay billions of dollars for uninsured motorists, and we don't have to pay taxes for it. We deserve to become citizens right now, and you have to keep letting my friends into your country. I demand this because i think that my voice deserves to be heard, even though the first act i ever did in this ountry was illegal (illegally crossing the border) and even though i don't pay taxes the congress has to listen to me. I want to be a part of this country so bad that i'm going to boycott it and walk out of work, and i want to be an American so i'm gonna wave a Mexican flag, and even though i don't pay taxes to send my kids to school they're gonna walk out and waste your tax dollars..' That was more than 2 or 3 sentences, but i am passionate on this issue. I am a legal permenant resident of the US, and now since i have volunteered my life and time to this nation's armed forces, the same forces who have defended this nation here and abroad for 200 + years, i have EARNED, EARNED NOT GIVEN, the right to become a US citizen. I swear in on the 12th of May at the US District Couthouse. You EARN IT, it's NOT A RIGHT (unless you're born here)...especially if you are illegal. That's my 2 cents....wait! The national anthem should be sung in Enlgish, and anyone who works in this country should speak English...i don't occassionally travel to Tiajuana and demand that they speak English. That's all i got.
here's Carlos's take....

I still like your "do a tour of Iraq"--or I guess pretty soon Iran--idea.
The point is, you should have to DO something, i.e. learn English and recite something, hire a lawyer, go through the bureaucracy, etc.
The Netherlands is making immigrants go through 350 hours of class and take a test. And WE'RE the hard-asses?
They are protesting the new immigrant/security law in Atlanta today, and the McDonalds I go to for breakfast was closed.
Big woop!
That's a small price to pay to pass a law that 85% of Georgians support.
Don't even get me started on the health and security issues of just letting anyone who can swim across the Rio Grande in here with no controls and processing!

As you say...I don't have a problem with immigrants as long as they earn their way in. I believe that we shouldn't have to change the way we do things or the language we speak so that they fit in better. If they want to be a part of America, they have to be Americans and they need to adjust to fit in. Making us adjust to them is what pisses me off.

Well, as what you say may sound nice and all, but the reality of it doesn't go like that. Even if you do come in the legal way, the government still tries to find a way fuck you over.....I know a family who came here legally and have been considered legal this whole time up until now, ten years later. They might as well swam over here with the rest of them, because they are and have been applying for their green card they are being told that it's not possible until a miracle happens like marriage or an act of God. So why should they be considered felons if they have entered legally, are going to school to be a better citizen in this country, and they don't have money like lots others do? They work harder than most americans do, cause face it, americans are lazy and think shit should be handed to them because they are american. Oh, and don't get me wrong I was born and raised here, I love where I live, but I don't have to love all the bad apples in the bunch. So really it doesn't matter if you came into this country legally or illegally....the government will always find a way to fuck you.....oh.....and fuck you hard!!!

Well, let me explain this family's issue, as it is very common, your residency is not permenant, it lasts for a period of time. If you don't apply to renew your residency before it expires, you are illegal and it will make it difficult to renew...seeing how you're illegal at the time. The felon thing is a political ploy. The republicans wrote in the original legislation to make a misdemeanor, and not felony. The democrats threatened to filibuster, a process in which no legislation is voted on because politicians hold the floor, if it wasn't made into a felony instead. The republicans thought that a misdemeanor would do, but had to change it to felony for the democrats to approve it. As soon as the bill was written the democrats go on the news and accuse the republicans of being extremists because they wanna charge the immigrants with a felony. Hmm, we want the law to be enforced, we want the border secured, and we want a process where those illegally here can earn, EARN, the right to be here after a long process and fines. This is what America wants, not a round up, or second class citizens, or to keep them from citizenship...we want them to earn it legally and understand that they broke the law. They 'deserve' nothing, they can 'earn' what ever they are willing to work for. Working on a farm for low wages beacause Americans won't do the work is not sufficient to 'deserving' citizenship. You accuse us of making you second class citizens, and here's the truth....you make yourselves second class citizens by hiding in the shadows as illegals. The law is the law, no matter what you 'want.' We don't want a round up, we want a process and for you to conform to the process... that's what makes our society different from many..we conform to the rule of law, earn it, you deserve nothing more than the right to follow the law like Americans do..not to disobey and get away with it.
