Yep... and although the Mexican government would love for everyone to believe that they don't encourage such publications, the Mexican of Foreign Affairs has a copy of the book right on their website lol

(sorry its in Spanish )

It tells immigrants where to go, how to dress, how to swim, what to take, where to go when they get here as well as how to use our government services.

Qualifications are not necessary. There are no sour grapes from me, I am comfortable with my job/status, it is just hard to watch hard working white guys get passed up time and time again for a guy who does not have enough sense not to f@rt in public, it is really sad. And ps - I am tired of getting mad ofmail that comes to me in spanish - just because I live in florida does not mean I speak it. try going to brazil (or anywhere) and tell them you want everything inenglish because it is "your right" and see if you live to see it happen.

I see many many jobs in paper right now if you speak Spanish we are looking for you. So... I only speak english I cant get this job LOL.

My problem with all this is this. Lets say a 2 year old was brought over with parents now they are 30. never been to Mexico and think this is their country. Thats a hard issue.

My DH hates when they talk about sending money to THEIR COUNTRY then why are they here??

I always vote and dont even trust that anymore. I am almost to the point I am saying whats the point of voting?? Just me but thats how I feel

Who the hell do you think did these jobs BEFORE illegal immigrants got those jobs? And WHY do you think they got those jobs? Because they will work below minimum wage and under the table, costing the big man upstairs less money. Come on, use some common sense here, people.

Actually around here WA State the mexicians are asking as much or more than anyone else now, we htinkthey got to big for their briches so now they want the same money so they might as well hire legals

ITA. While it's comforting to post our thoughts on this issue and know that others agree, it doesn't change anything. Voting isn't enough. If you want to effect change, then write to your Representatives, Senators, and Congressmen and tell them how you feel. Or better yet, call them! If enough people would get involved and do this, change would come.

[QUOTE=tngirl]I do believe the OP made it clear that she was talking about people that are NOT citizens DEMANDING rights. These rights supercede OUR rights as US Citizens.

Yes, some of our ancestors did come and invade and take this land from the Native Americans, but that is history and nothing is going to change the fact and really has nothing to do with the subject.

actually, it doesn't. This country was founded by immigrants.. not ILLEGAL immigrants. So they came here before there were immigration laws, big whoop! Now there are laws and laws aren't meant to be broken... no matter what country you are from.

If you are here illegally, you should not be entitled to anything ESPECIALLY social services.

Its laughable that congress is actually contemplating erecting a fence along the border to deter illegal immigration... do they think that hispanics don't know how to climb over/under a fence?? There are my tax dollars hard at work

I can vote until I am blue in the face but that will do nothing since a good portion of politicians don't do a darn thing that they claim they are going to do anyhow. Illegal immigration may be a hot topic right now, but do you think the goverment REALLY cares? nope! If they cared so much about illegal immigration, they would take the millions of dollars a year that is spent on illegal immigrants and use it to remedy that problem. The government uses the excuse that they have limited funds to help pay for extra INS workers, better border patrol and lots of busses to ship illegals back to the border. They don't have the money because they keep giving it away to people who aren't paying into the system.

I am saying this about how things are in our area. The latino people seem to be the only ones willing to work. I have yet to see a white guy digging ditches or mowing yards. Mexicans have my respect they work and they work hard. Everywhere I seem them they show me respect and I do the best I can do to understand them. They are people also. I actually enjoy having a hispanic patient. I seem to help them andthey help me. God loves us all reguardless of age sex color. I try to see it the way Jesus would. Maybe one day soon a middle ground can be found.

Personally i think the govt needs to hire crap loads of border security and use AK 47's to blow these idiots as they try to cross into OUR country. If they can't speak english, or simply don't want to, send 'em back. If anyone watches America's Most Wanted, have you noticed the crimes happening now are mostly Hispanics? How in the hell can you identify them? They all look alike!! I wont go into walmart in a certain town anymore, because my friends got jumped at thanksgiving in the parking lot by 2 male mexicans simply because one was driving a Lincoln Town Car. They thought they were going to get some cash. To make a long story short, get the illegals out of this country, give americans their jobs back, and please let there be a future president soon that will see this problem and fix Clinton's screw up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
