"Sometimes I get the feeling that people like lerxtcat, who talk about comfort and space in relation to human lives, view these mexican people as some sort of cockroaches swarming into your country taking what is yours. But they are not cockroaches. They are your human brothers and sisters. " Clockworkengine

Clockster, I'm getting tired of people like yourself telling me that I have to accept THIEVES (and these people are thieves. They steal identity (a felony for you and I) as well as health care, welfare etc). No, not everyone of them but enough of them do and people like you say that we just have to pay for it and shut up or we are racists. I don't hate mexicans. I hate THIEVES!!!

So Mother Theresa I publicly CHALLENGE you! Quit being generous with MY money and MY home! Let some of your "brothers and sisters" come live at YOUR HOUSE!! Why don't YOU pay for their meds etc and give them YOUR job as opposed to insisting that the rest of us do!!!!

Or are you only compassionate with other people's money????

Ha ha, listen to this racist trying to attack someone for professing a desire to help everyone and not just white people.
Sorry, man. But the hitler-esque practice of selective hatred and generalization of a people is retarded. By the way, I'd be happy to let a mexican live here if he paid his rent. Do you know any? I might have a room opening up soon. I never said we should give anyone the shirt off our backs, you ignorant racist. I believe that they should be permitted to live and work in the US as long as they pay taxes just like me. Obviously, you're just another racist redneck who gets mad because mexican people outwork and outsource you, and you try to blame it on color or ethnicity. I have a job. I work around mexicans daily. I have many friends whose language I cannot even understand. So far I have not been replaced by a mexican.
And I say you're the thief: your worthless lungs taking up air for a worthier immigrant who does not hate randomly.

Don't confuse having a hopeful disposition as naivety. And quit talking about my youth when you don't know anything else about me. Ask anyone who really knows me. I've been all over the place, whether from touring or being in the military. I've been homeless as well as well-off. I've seen both extremes as you have and still I feel alright. Maybe some people are more suited to handle the stresses of life. Don't worry, man. There are support groups for people like you.
No, I've never been fired for a Mexican or for anyone else either. And I have known a lot of Mexican people and some of them were the finest people I have ever met. Others were less than honest; they never "stole" anything, but were great at "finding" other people's stuff.

The immigration issue is not racist, it's about economics and national security.
Whatever we do, we need to do something besides what we do now, for many reasons, some of which are for these illegals. How many do you think die trying to cross in some desert area, where their coyotes spook and leave them? It happens all the time. Now if they KNOW they can't cross the land border, they won't be dying in the Arizona desert, will they?

It's lazy to make everything about racism, but that's the typical tactic for left wingers. When you demonize everyone who disagrees with you, then you're doing exactly what you accuswe them of doing. But I guess if it's PC to hate a group you're onboard, eh?

How does this debate even exist? Last I checked, this country has been open to those less fortunate who desire a better life and are ready to become Americans since the beginning.....

If I embezzel money from a charity instead of applying for their assistance, does that make me a criminal? Yes. It also makes the theft all the more deplorable because it exisits to help my ultimate goal in the first place!

My family came to this country, legally, in the 1950's. It was not easy for them, but they followed the rules and became citizens. They also flew the american flag and learned english. For me, that is the true meaning of immigration.
The situation today is the perfect example of "a few (million) bad apples...." I am more concerned for the future honest immigrant who will find it next to impossible to do what has been the most important thing for many families.

going against looser immagration laws isnt being racist, generalizing mexicans as thieves is.

lets lock up all the catholic priests for being child molesters

take away all the asian peoples drivers license

and just lock up black people in general for being black, they must be doing something riiiight?

I thought the debate was about illegal immigrants, not mexicans?

There is no "Real Solution" here. Our current President has not only shown he refuses to protect our borders, he's also unwilling to pardon two of our border patrol agents who were imprisoned for shooting a known Mexican drug smuggler in the ass.
I really understand Clockwork's position on this issue. I agree with him for the most part. But, we need to know who is coming into this country. We are at war, after all. This is one issue where we see the Bush admin. is full of shit. They expanded the government to include Homeland Security, yet all we've gotten is a colorcoded threat warning. Our borders could be infiltrated any given moment by a terrorist group.

I agree. We definately need more border security. I don't think this administration has done nearly enough on this issue. None of the administrations in the past few decades has done enough on this issue either. That's why we are where we are.

It's also possible that this 'border' issue will be solved by a NO Vote NO Debate inclusion of the U.S. into a Northern American Union. Guess what happens then? Mexico's shotty economy becomes ours, while the powers that be suck up all the profits.
