Why don't Americans get off their high horse??
Most of your ancestors were dirt poor peasants who couldn't cut it in Europe, so they came with their 15 kids to grab some free land.
America was begging for skilled Euros to come and in 1946 America brought over hundreds of Nazi scientists to help develop the country even though US law prohibits people who belonged to the Nazi party from entering.
And now you guys wonna sit here and act like you did some kind of major moves. You're riding high on the accomplishment of other countries.
Mexicans only want to work and are humble.
Answer:
Let me comment.
"Most of your ancestors were dirt poor peasants who couldn't cut it in Europe, so they came with their 15 kids to grab some free land."
Most europeaners came in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Yes, they were dirt poor. Most were semi skilled or unskilled. At that time the economy was dominated by manufacturing, and that job sector required lil skill but an army of workers. At that time Immigration laws were non-existant or very racist in nature. Baring people were were disabled or from unworthy countries.

Yes the usa was in contest with russia in bring over nazi scientests. Most of our early rocket technology and early nuclear technology is due in part to them. Though like most german intellectuals, they were not a willing partner of the nazi war machine. But his area of study was need by the Nazi's, so he was not imprisoned to the degree that other intellectuals were. The law that that orginal person is refering to did not differencate between a willing or an unwilling Nazi participant.

They are resting on the laurals of their own immigrant family history.

Sorry, I don't own a horse.
mexicans (little brown people as I call them) smell, carry diseases and commit crimes.
woah, dude
get ready for some fire
Yeah without those on the high horse the balance of Europe would be speaking German right now. Some people just never get history even though they spout it off like they do.
Heh.ignorance knows no bounds apparently...
I enjoy the weed they bring here,
but still don't want illegals entering or staying in the country
My horse is not high...he went to rehab.
Ridin' high on my high horse in the best country in the World!
We could ride higher if we didn't elect an Bushy to the Presidency...
I know you are somewhat right, the Hollanders that are here in West Michigan where that ones that were kicked out of Holland and are some of the most selfish people I have met far from people from Holland that come here the last generation or so.
"Mexicans only want to work and are humble". Yep apparently so.
These stats are compiled from the Department of Defense, American Automobile Association and the General Accounting Office.
55,322 illegal aliens incarcerated in federal, state, and local facilities.
At the end of 2003, approximately 267,000 illegal aliens were incarcerated in all U.S. jails and prisons.
Illegal aliens murder
12 Americans daily.
4,380 Americans murdered annually by illegal aliens.
Total U.S. troop deaths in Iraq as of last week were reported at 2,863. Total U.S. troop deaths in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan during the five years of the Afghan campaign are currently at 289, according to the Department of Defense. Total number of murders commited by illegal aliens since Sept. 11, 2001: 21,900
13 American citizens are killed by drunk illegal alien drivers each day.
Eight American children are victims of sexual abuse by illegal aliens every day – a total of 2,920 annually.
36 percent had been arrested at least five times before.
See ya!
We like to blame Mexicans for the difficulty in finding a job even though, in most cases, they're taking jobs most Americans won't do.
As far as I'm concerned, they did a nice job on my house and played a large part in the reason I could afford it.
In a perfect world, immigrants could come in legally.
As far as Nazi scientist, let's not pretend that life is fair or that that kind of stuff doesn't happen all over, all the time
No, I think most americans are fine with immigration. It's the illegal part we have a problem with. If they would go thru all the processes that everyone else who enters this country go thru, then people wouldn't have such a problem with it. Back when our ancestors came, they didn't have things handed to them for free or have their language spoken to them because they couldn't understand english. They had to work hard to earn what they had, and they had to learn to speak the language of their new country. They didn't use multiple social security numbers to rack up checks from the government. They didn't exploit emergency rooms for free healthcare. They didn't earn money here and send it all back to their former country. The 2 scenarios are not at all parallel!
If Mexicans only want to work and remain humble, as you say, then they can either work to better themselves in their own country, or enter the U.S LEGALLY. I've lived and worked in Mexico, and there's no way I was allowed to do so illegally. As you probably know, Mexico has very strict immigration laws and if foreigners want to work there, they have to be approved to do so by Immigration. The immigration laws and work permits are designed to protect the Mexican worker so that their jobs aren't usurped by foreigners like me.
So, you have no right to sit in judgment of the United States. Perhaps it's you who should get off your high horse! Humble, my a**.
No....My ancestors .yes dirt poor..sent 1 family member here, broke, no government freebies, no hand-outs, no hope of ever seeing their family again to have a chance at a better life. No free land grab. No easy life. And way, way before 1946.
Where do you get your information?
Mexicans that come to the United States not only want to work
but they demand social security that they haven't even paid into,
Spanish to be taught at all schools, and welfare and they're not
even citizens, mind you. Also the money they earn is sent to
other countries and doesn't benefit the economy.
If you had people from let's say, Spain come into your country illegally and demand all sorts of things from your government, you would be upset, wouldn't you?
It's very simple- we have laws in place now. I couldn't just hop a plane to London and decide to work and live in England indefinitely. There are controls in place, and to circumvent these controls is illegal. This isn't 1700 anymore, you don't just land on some exotic shore and build a log cabin and hunt bear. These immigrants want free education, health care, etc., etc... in modern society, we offer a lot of benefits and services to people, so there has to be controls in place regarding who's eligible. We can't just have people pouring into our borders to get in on the act. There's a legal way to go about becoming an America, and if you don't play by the rules, you don't deserve amnesty.
I keep waiting for a popping sound- hoping to hear your head come out of your butt
No luck- I see it's still stuck.
If Mexicans wanted to work- they could enter this country like every one else. They are welcome to enter this country through the same avenues that are available to every other person of any and every nationality.
Instead all who are in this country illegally seem to believe they have some God given right to lie and steal from those of us who belong in America.
If you wish to support criminal behavior- please do it somewhere else.
I thought arrogance and flippant remarks where a "European" thing. seriously, mind your own business. Our major moves pulled your asses out in WWII. Our money has been used by your governments to build many of your infrastructures and who knows what else.. EUROPE, lost its ability to support it's own existence when it's men castrated themselves.. So they lean on us to ensure that they will continue to exist.
Mexicans are humble?? Saying that they are better workers is not humble! Saying that they are here to stay and Americans can't do anything about it is not humble!
Europeans didn't come here with their 15 kids, you're confusing that with Mexicans! Most Europeans were not Nazi supporters when they came over here!
I like horse alot. Can i keep one? A person discovered america were european. You're so silly!
Nice strawman argument. Americans aren't anti-immigrant. We're pro-immigration policy that is balanced and sensible. Undoubtedly America, and more importantly, the world has benefitted from American immigrants achieving monumental successes. We don't even mind foreign cultural elements working their way, naturally, into our culture. An America without St.Patrick's Day, pizza, Peking duck, etc... would be tragic, imho. However, today there is only one foreign culture in America's mainstream who won't assimilate: Spanish-speaking. There are no signs in Gaelic, Italian or Chinese in every American city, only Spanish. This influx of new people is too many, too fast. All illegals should be deported, then Spanish-speaking immigrants should be legally allowed to become citizens at the same rate as all other nationalities, and that rate should be a trickle, not a flood.
yep sounds like another commy ,ya just want to work , at a 3rd rate quality, and humble, ya like those 3 in the morning get togethers in the streets
one america doesn't have a problem with immigrants. we are a nation of immigrants. the problem americans have are with illegal immigrants. people who come this this country illegally. illegal immigrants reap the benefits of this country without paying any of the costs. if you have a problem with the way of life in mexico the elect a government that will deal with the problem instead of pawning it off on the united states. if it's true that our economy can not thrive without the low wage mexicans working the the economy of mexico should be booming. th fact of the matter is that the exican government is corrupt. influenced by drug dealers and cartels. clean up your country then it is possible to have the life you want in your own country. if you still want to come to america then do it legally, assimulate, learn our language and follow our laws. america is the great melting pot. people full of pride and full of resolve. we are a nation of laws which means that not only its' citizens but visitors also must follow or be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. and finally, if it wasn't for the united states the world would be in peral. the united states bails countries out financially by giving aide, we feed the world. if we stop giving aide and feeding the world many countries would die off or be taken over by cruel ruthless regimes. if not for the U.S. the world would be under control of nazi germany, japan or communists who repress peoples freedom.
At last, the liberals show their grief after watching the amnesty bill get defeated. Boooo Hoooooo
You know nothing about my ancestors. If Mexicans are so willing to work why dont they work on Mexico to help themselves. Illegal is illegal no matter where you come from. If you dont like Americans just dont come here.
I dont what country you are from, but let me tell you about the horse that came in and helped save Europe from Nazi takeover, then ran over to fight the japanese from Pacific and maybe American take over, then little horsey who dished out billions to Mexico and other Latin American nations to help their governments with the poor, and medicines and food and etc, oh and who's horse was it that has bailed out countless nations from poverty and oppression and hostilities? Oh, that would be our high horse. No this nation is far from perfect and we have alot of our own problems, but whats your horse doing, huh???
Actually my ancestors owned a rather large house in England, which is now a mental health facility. Yea, they did have a lot of kids, but when you've got 600 acres to tend without machinery, you need as many hands as you can get. And the land was bought legally, at least by 18th century standards.
And some of those working Mexicans are also drunk drivers who murder Americans. So I ask, don't we have enough drunk drivers already without importing them from elsewhere?
Your generalizations only serve to prove your ignorance.
"You guys kill me... haha"
No but give us time and we will cause we don't like you racist pigs.
