A day without a Mexican

Re: A day without a Mexican

I wouldn't concider that as much as an immigration problem to America as Mexico is.

mexico is the largest source of immigrants but the percentage from other central american nations is highly significant, I believe. I'll see if I can find it.

also hr2 this issue isn't about the mexicans that haven't come across yet, it's about what to do with the ones that are already here.

You don't hear nearly as much about asians taking boats over to America. Or Canadians. It's just Mexicans.

He's saying they should have to go through the same process of legalization through which he is going. Sounds reasonable to me.

First of all, it's kinda hard to row 5,000 miles from Asia. Second, Canadains don't have to row boats. (I know that's not what you meant, but I couldn't resist. Uze gud grammer nxt timee)

they can't go through the same process as they came in illegally in the first place.

edit: also it is hard to find reliable statistics on origins of illegal immigrants. As far as legal ones (I think) go, this table lists the percentages:

That's the purpose of kicking them out. Can't stay until you're legalized? Let me direct you to your citizenship class. You can obtain a work permit while you are getting citizenship, just like Hr2's dad did.

"But we're already here" isn't a good enough reason to forget the "illegally" part.

Re: A day without a Mexican

yeah I mean that's what the whole legislation thing is trying to resolve... when and how to get them work permits and when and how they can later apply for citizenship. They obviously aren't going to be kicked out, nor should they be.

Re: A day without a Mexican

Why shouldn't they be? They legally shouldn't be here in the first place, so if they're not willing to go through the process of becoming legal citizens then they have no right to be here and should leave, either by being forced out or leaving on their own.

Re: A day without a Mexican

and actually pretty logical... if the cheap labor is forced to leave, then prices for the food they harvest goes up.

Not to mention how much money and logistical resources it would take to locate and deport 11.5 million people.

You said **** mexicans. Not really a valid view.

It's a valid view when the topic title is "A day without a Mexican"

Um... Racism is not a valid view no matter what.

And "A day without a Mexican" is an appropriate description for that day, no matter how "discriminatory" you may view it.

So be quiet.

If you actually take time to read the topic, you'd actually know what you're talking about.

But you didn't, so as a result you don't have a clue what I meant.

You JUST got unbanned, and you come in here trying to start ****.

Go away.
