New Orleans becoming a Latino city - Page 12

You missed me just jump on your silly remark about my comments, then?

Perthaps sillier, though, is B&K's evident disdain (just as yours was for Heather) for people who like to post facts with links and so forth!

But now I am going to get quiet because it's way past my bedtime.

Good night and congrats on your change my friend.

I just appreciate people who think on their own and dont need others to think for them

The quotes get a little tiresome. When I meet someone, I want to know what they're all about. All the great thinkers of our previous times did'nt quote others, they were eventually quoted by others. Why you holding back?

I'm sure you're right, JL, that the scary part involves thinking they might vote, or for that matter, even run for office, or just, you know, move into the neighborhood.

They are very scary in lots of ways, with all the problems they are responsible for.

In fact, they seem to be causing so many problems that when you think about it, you'd almost forget that we have any other problems Iraq economy environment education unemployment racism sexism mismanagement greed health care apathy at all!!!

Steve

I never posted anything about what you are talking about. I posted about minimum wages and not enough jobs. See.. there you go reading more into than what i posted. I didn't even read your post....I replied to JL's post. Link Please!!!

I guess i did since I don't read most of your posts..... and the Heather comment was a cheap shot. Why bring her into it? why would you do that?

if you have any trouble finding "them", just give me a call........I've got a bunch of "them"......we can even pretend "they're" illegal since "they" are rather Mexican looking, kinda dirty at the end of the day, and generally don't speak English

I hope you can find one, Tappy! Street food is my favorite. I went to the Dr. here once with tummy troubles and he asked me, "Have you been eating on the street?" and I was like, "OF COURSE I've been eating on the street, crazy man! That's where all the best food is!"

I am all about that !!

I have heard my co-workers in corporate office talk about how good the tacos are.
I bet the Lucky Dog man is pissed now that he has got some competition.

And, the allergy to the use of referent words continues.

Those that turn a blind eye to the problems caused by illegal immigration are just as harmful as those who want to build a huge wall and keep out all of the wetbacks. Mikey's post, earlier, may have been a compilation of many different cites, but for the most part it was correct. Crime, gangs, abuse of social services, anchor babies, etc. are all a drain on the quality of life in the USA. There needs to be some reform. That reform won't get done as long as the the two sides of the debate are so extreme.

The current system costs lives, whether it be those who die in the desert heat or those who are victims of violent crime committed a small percentage of illegals. A country has the right and the duty to know who is currently residing within its borders. Those who live in the US without documentation are subject to abuse. In reality, they don't even exist, officially.

Ignoring the problems caused by illegal entry into the US, and making excuses for the minority of the real criminals (by claiming that they are only a small minority) entering the country illegally, the abuses will continue. You don't help hardworking illegals, who want a piece of the American dream, by tacitly supporting the status quo. The majority of people who have problems with illegal immigration are not racists. They are people who have real concerns about their quality of life. To suggest otherwise, is disingenuous and does nothing to solve the problems experienced by the illegals or citizens.

There are those, too, who use the illegals as pawns. Some see them as a voting block that can bring their party to power. Automatic citizenship! Others see them as a voting block that will keep them out of power. Send em home! The answer is not complete amnesty nor mass deportation. It is to find out who they are, check them out, let them stay if they are contributing, and put them on the same waiting list as those who are trying to do it the legal way. Also, cut the cost of becoming a citizen to an amount that is reasonable.

I'm curious, Mark. Where in this thread is someone turning a blind eye to the problems caused by illegal immigration?
