Not to intrude on your argument, but I too feel this country does lots of things that suck.
But the seed of greatness is still there. totally agree
Don't you see the irony of this being great because it is supposed to be the land of the free when some want to prevent people from taking advantage of that by working here and raising their families?

[color=#800000totally not sure what you are talking about here, how is it ironic if someone is breaking the law?][/color]

I love how this question turns into a racial issue.
The thread was started by one of the board's biggest bigots to bash Hispanics. That's pretty evident from the title.

The united states has L...A...W....S.....!!!!!! If someone is in this country illegally, it is AGAINST THE LAW........

If a person is breaking the L..A...W... they should be D E P O R T E D!

If Jose is currenly applying for citizenship, learning English, has a work visa, etc etc, then, yes, that is what our Statue of Liberty stands for, that is what makes the US great etc etc. and Jose and his family can stay here and reap the benefits of their hard work.

Please do not confuse the issues here people. This applies to German people, Indian people, Mexican People, et al. This is not about RACE!
The issue is the bigot SuzyQ started this thread with a title that clearly does make it about race.


Finally sparks, since your always so inclined to look for my commentary, please point to where in Matthew 25:41-45 does it refer to immigrants and legal status? I see the word stranger but not immigrant.

The entire point of posting that piece of scripture is that there is no reference to national origin or race. We are all God's children, in spite of the neocon's attempts to demonize Hispanics. Even mentally handicapped posters like Gunslinger are God's children.

Most of the Mexicans I've met are nice, hardworking people who love their kids just like anyone else. It's only natural that they want to provide well for them.

I think this country should accept the fact that the US is still viewed as the land of opportunity by many poor outsiders.

All this hub bub could be avoided if we made LEGAL immigration quicker and easier.



WHO GIVESASHIT HOW HARD THEY WORK OR HOW MUCH THEY LOVE THEIR KIDS OR HOW THEY WANT TO PROVIDE FOR THEM.....

HOW ABOUT THEY PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE?.....

It never fails to amaze me the way you whack-jobs continue to project your issues onto me. Happy Jack continues to project his homosexual urges on me, even though he has never met me. Now, Gunslinger is projecting his own mental illness on me. Have you ever asked yourself why you chose your screen name Gunslinger? Could it be because in real life you are a weakling who spends your days living in fear with your mommy? I suggest that you STFU and get some help,pal.

Now, as someone else once said, carry on.

There is no need to project anything onto you to cause others to draw the conclusion that you have homosexual urges.
Trust me on that one.

you just dont read much do you sparky...illiteracy is a terrible thing.
.....
Nevertheless,

it is dangerous to be named

and makes you mortal.

If you have a name

you can be sold

you can be told

by that name leave, or come

you become, in short

a reference, or if bad luck

is large in your future

you might become an institution

which you will then mistake

for defense. I could

now place you

in a column from which

There is No Escape

and down which The Machine

will always recognize you.

Or a bullet might be Inscribed

or I could build a maze

called a social investigation

and drop you in it

your name

into it

Oh really? Then people without names are immortal?

If you have a name
you can be sold
Slavery was abolished in 1865
you can be told
The only thing a frightened little coward like yourself would say to me is Yes sir
by that name leave, or come
you become, in short
a reference, or if bad luck
is large in your future
you might become an institution
more likely, the men in white jackets will take you back to an institution
which you will then mistake
for defense. I could
now place you
in a column from which
There is No Escape
and down which The Machine
will always recognize you.
Or a bullet might be Inscribed
or I could build a maze

The doctors are giving you some pretty strong drugs,aren't they? Why don't you go back to your room and lie down? All this thinking seems to have strained your feeble brain.

Functional illiteracy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Functional illiteracy is a term used to describe reading and writing skills that are inadequate to cope with the demands of everyday life.

Sorry, I referred to you as illiterate, and that's not quite correct. I believe the above describes you sparky, to a tee!

sokay.....don't feel left out though....

. All over the U.S.A. 30 million (14% of adults) are unable to perform simple and everyday literacy activities.

You are not alone, and there is help out there......for someone like you.

Those who are functionally illiterate may be subject to social intimidation, health risks, stress, low income, and other pitfalls associated with their reading and writing deficits. Their inability to function normally in society because of their functional illiteracy may increase the friction they experience with the mainstream of society, and thereby increase the likelihood that they will become involved in antisocial activities such as crime, or self-destructive activities.
