"With all the nations on the face of the earth, why is the United States of America the only country in which someone can be united with his family? Illegal immigrants can reunite with their families back where they came from. " Sowell
This has been my argument all along. I keep hearing these idiots like Geraldo Rivera talking about "breaking up families" and i want to slap him! Don't break up the family, send them ALL back to where they came from.

The day this passes is the day we are officially no longer a Republic. Who am I kidding that day has already come and gone.
To paraphrase Eric Cartman...
Politicians piss me off!

Some have two families, one in mexico and one in the States. Many prefer it that way!
it's ok Rhino...
i'm sorry your mama never breastfed you.
mexican babies are always breastfed (up until they can ask for it), which is clearly why you hate them.
it's ok, man. let it out.
Yes of course g.d. you must be right..
I don't believe people should be allowed to openly break the laws of my country and then manipulate said laws by having babies when they get here so that must mean i hate them because of their race...
Of course i didn't mention race in my comment but i am an equal oppotunity hater so i'll include the mexicans (except you of course because i think you're hot)
That should be the rule actually, all illegal women who are hot should be offered amnesty, everyone else has to go.
correction, my lovely
i'm a puerto rican. yeah, that's right. i think i may be the one and only hispanic american to read and participate in this blog.
someone has to. i consider it my duty and your honor.
and yes, my ass is luscious.
lol
You are aware that Rhino is our token spic right?
...and about your ass, well, to paraphrase Reagan, we will trust, but you must verify.
Rican, mexican, dominican,... Whatever...
I'm just a white guy from long island.... sort of....Damn you Donkey!
My bad. I forgot the Z is silent in Rhinoz.
so rhino is 'passing'...
how come that doesn't surprise me.
personally, i have no problem making citizenship more easily available to those who have worked in this country for years upon years, have sent their kids to school here, have in essence become *americans* ... just like the irish, italians, and germans before them. i'm in ossining a lot and i see on their little main street area sooo many shops owned by mexicans. i see the little mexican kids loaded down with backpacks full of books on their way home from school (and a good school system at that) and say to myself ... this is ok. these kids have parents, some of whom have clearly become entrepreneurs in an upper middle class community, and they (the kids) will probably end up going to college and out-doing their parents. that's the way it should be. immigrant, first generation, second generation ... onward and upward. like donkeyhue.
i do believe there are probably more of those people, the ones who really want a better life in a better country for their families, than those whose loyalty remains in their home country. (but i'm just speculating here ... wishful thinking i guess). and really, DO those people who are sending money really understand or have a stake in continuing the mexican aristocracy. i doubt it. they are just cogs in the wheel.
also, i still don't completely understand this concept of immigrants doing work that *americans don't want to do* ... when i was in high school and college (and even beyond to a certain extent) i worked at some pretty demeaning jobs to pay tuition, buy clothes, etc., etc. i did what i had to to pay the bills because no one was paying them for me. i can't quite imagine (and perhaps i'm naive) turning down work when you can't feed your kids or pay your electric bill. but i guess that's just me.
it's true that as a country we have, historically, farmed out the dirtiest parts of building and maintaining this country to those of non-european descent, temporary workers or workers in shackles. HOWEVER, my question remains, and i certainly can't seem to find an answer to it: given that there IS a huge amount of poverty in this country ... why can't and why can't there be a way of giving this work to the americans who are here already. the news is full of reports of celebrities shouting alot of hot air about poverty in africa. a problem to be sure. but come on angelina, george, madonna, donkey's main squeeze oprah, bono (well, not really bono since he's not american, but still) ... charity begins at home. john edwards is right about poverty in america. as cliche as it sounds, there ARE two americas.
what is my point? i'm pissed off about the whole *guest worker* concept. that's it. well, i'm pissed off about a lot of things, but i'll just let it go at that for now.
over and out.

Immigrants do do the work that Americans don't do. Middle class white women don't want to raise their own kids so they hire Mexican nannies. Everyday I see Mexican women pushing little blond children around in strollers. The mexican women have their own kids who no doubt are being rasied by their Grandmas. It's a fucked up universe!
miss c., don't get me started on women who "sub out" the raising of their "precious" children to women they (the yuppie mothers) won't even pay a fair wage or even payroll taxes. what happened to these "former" feminists fighting about oppression? now that they are no longer oppressed, they feel no, none, zilch compunction about essentially oppressing other, less fortunate women. these women deserve to have their children fall in love (the way children do) with their nanny's and reject their upwardly mobile mothers and fathers.
caveat, of course. i'm speaking here about theoretically wealthy (whatever that means these days) couples living on, for example, the upper west or upper east sides of manhattan. not average women who have to go to work every day to support their families. these women don't hire nannys. they put their kids in day care. and don't get me started on the state of day care in country.
