Broken Hearted
I am a school teacher, I have 8 hispanics out of 16 children in my class. 6 of those were out and 2 showed. This is a very touchy debate in my book, Our whole country is founded on immagration except for the native americans and the mexicans that were orginally in this country before our european familes came over and took over. We can blame our government for the way things are, and you really can't blame the immagrants for taking advantage of what our governement allows, Sure I get upset when you have someone from another country come here apply for loans and grant them while When my daughter was in the hospital and i was not working could not get a loan so my credit would not go bad. At that time there was also a little girl brought to South Carolina from Mexico, that needed a lung transplant, She ended up with at set of lungs, it was not the right blood type and they had to find her another new set of lungs . She was the same blood type as my daughter, and people would ask me if I was angry, because she was illegal and got a set of lungs that could have gone to my daughter, My reply was why be angry, there was another child in this world that needed lungs, and If those lungs where intended for my daughter then God would have seen she got them. Irony, this little girl ended up dying, and this is the part that angers me, the parents refused to donate any of her organs.
WE have to remember, that GOD loves everyone and did not send his one for one type of people.

I got into work 10 minutes quicker this morning. I went to a cafeteria for lunch and the food selections were limited. I asked, and was told they didn't have enough staff today.

XJW4EVR has no clue about the issue
Secondly, the illegal immigrants represent another 12 million cheap votes for the Democratic Party.
Dude, Only CITIZENS can vote! If illegals vote (and there is no evidence that they do) they are committing a FELONY and should be deported. The only real crime they commit is to be one extra on top of 300 MILLION people looking for work. Big Farking Deal. If they are competing with you for a job or something I say it's your own darn fault for being such a minimum wage kind of person and not having skills.
As far as the usual whine goes yes they pay employment taxes (which they never get back) and pay property taxes which fund schools. Of course 99% of illegal immigrants leave their families in their home countries anyway so schools are not an issue. The foreign looking children in CA schools were born here which makes them US Citizens.
Are you advocating discriminating against US citizens because they are not white?

Maybe if they had a day without mooching of this country that would affect me but I don't see that happening!

If the US had invested 10% of the money we are pissing away in Iraq in the infrastructure of Mexico, there would be no need for illegal immigration.
Nothing personal amos but thats a really really stupid comment...

Well I am not for breaking the law but on the other hand our government not only allowed these people to come they encouraged them to come. Check it out. So now about the time the immigrants start asking for health care and minimum wage they want to send them back. Well I say no because you don't bring somebody here to exploit them and then kick them out because they want to live like human beings. Thats unamerican. I am not Hispanic my ancestors were Scandanavian, but I think they should just send those who criminally break the law in this country back.

No effects, but I did go downtown and take photos of the peaceful demonstration. I got some great shots and it was very interesting. Having grown up so close to Mexico and having several friends that live there in deep Mexico, it is a tough situation. If I were in Mexico, I cannot say that I would not be crossing anyway I could. As an American, I see both sides of the issue.
