Which countries did you have in mind :hmm:

Yes, they did, at least eventually. But, for many, many years there were entire districts within numerous east coast cities where English was the second language, and American culture was the second culture. This seems to be convieniently forgotten when it comes to the modern immigration movement.

They never had the decency to learn Choctaw.

GOOD:up:

My Grand Parents learned english and had to take classes when they came through ellis island. They came here legally which is what people today are missing the big picture over. Supply and demand is the situation. A Country can only absorb so many immigrants at a certain rate or the Country will not be able to absorb the financial impact, it will be over burdened. This is why many emergency rooms have closed in hospitals. illegals with no insurance get treated and do not pay their bills. So because of the ACLU and other sob sister organizations threatening hospitals that would refuse service to illegals, they shut down. If anyone thinks that, that is good for this country, then they are blind to the Nth degree.

Its not Immigration....Its the illegality and the refusal to at least partially integrate with your new society.

Im not saying you have to give up your culture or your traditions....far from it...thats what makes America great.

Im not racist either....my Prom date was hispanic...so were all my buddies....if you were in a school with 98% hispanic and you were racist....you didnt get a date.....LOL

But as was mentioned.... dont dare refuse to speak the language....there has been more than enough time...There are families over here speaking Spanish for generations.

Also as mentioned the hospital crisis is amazingly bad. Im an RN and can vouch first hand at how terrible the influx is. Literally we have ladies zipping acorss the bridge in labor and dropping a baby right in the ER thus establishing their 'anchor' here for years to come.

I've personally been bitched at by families saying 'Why cant you speak Spanish!! YOu live in the RIo Grande Valley, you should speak SPanish!! I want a Nurse that I can talk to in SPanish!!!"

To which I reply...."If you can find an ICU qualified RN willing to work nights who also manges to speak Spanish....go for it...until then you got one white boy (me) or your choice of Fillipinas"

I dont add that the FIllipina's took the time to learn the language....spend thousands of dollars on legal fees and work their ass's off to come here legally.

So dont tell me Im anti immigration or Racist...I'll gladly work with 1000 Filipinos who bust their tails and as a result get all the rewards this country offers legitimately.

BUt give me one screaming illegal telling me that I have to keep her brain dead 100 year old grandma alive instead of letting her rest, just so she and the rest of the family can get permits to come across the border and 'visit'.

SOrry but thats not even decent humanity.

Oh yeah ....used toliet paper doesnt go in the trash can you gross people.:nope:




(Sorry....hot button for me...you can see why Im hoping both parties fail)

You are right cj95. No it is not being racist, but that is the card the ACLU will play against its own Country. Those swine should be tried for treason. It is funny you mentioned the toilet paper in the trash can. Years ago I worked at at place that had several "illegals" working there. The place is now shutdown. But a few of the employess contracted hepatitis and it was from flies that got into the trash can with the fecal matter, then they land on your food and then you get a life threatening disease. Real friggin nice! They are turning this Country into a third world nation slowly but surely.

Evidently they weren't leaving fast enough: http://www.reuters.com/article/domes...35579820080826

And they treated them like "criminals", uh, :doh:?

What they need to be doing is tossing the factory owner out with them imo.

Losing that many workers will definitely put a kink in his production schedule at least... AND, I imagine he'll get a hefty fine out of it as well... serves him right too. :up:
