renonevadakid: First, put down the tequila bottle. Then switch off the cap lock, & proof read your post before you send. Then get used to the idea that Mexico lost the war with the US. That gives the US the right to dictate terms of surrender. Then remember this took place in 1848. It has nothing to do with the influx of illegal aliens coming into the US today. Unless, of course, you think Mexico is prepared to fight another war to take back what they lost 150 years ago. I don't think a Honda lowrider stands much of a chance against an Abrahms A1A tank, & the ********ers will find it hard to wage war while holding their pants up with one hand. And switchblade knives, well enough said. As for Obama being our next president, don't hold your breath on that one. I don't think there are enough oh so politically correct bleeding heart liberals to get him elected. He's barely able to beat out Hillary for the Demo nomination. He doesn't stand a chance against a real politician like McCain. I personally think he will self-destruct before November. You can only do so much damage control for stupidity. So, kid, there's you some things to chew on.

AS SOON AS OBAMA BECOMES PRESIDENT HIS RUNNING MATE WILL BE HISPANIC SO DEAL WITH THAT MR MCCAIN THE REPUBLICANS ARE DONE. AMERICAN/MEXICANS WILL SOON BE THE MAJORITY AND RUN CALIFORNIA SO IF YOU DONT LIKE YOU CAN DEPORT YOURSELF TO ENGLAND BECAUSE I KNOW YOUR NOT A NATIVE. DEAL WITH THE FACTS AND STOP DREAMING BECAUSE DREAMS DONT COME TRUE.

TELL ME WHAT ARTICLE 13 OF THE HIDALGO GUADULUPE TREATY SAYS. IN CASE U DIDNT KNOW ITS WHAT ENDED THE WAR BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO. WITHOUT IT THE WAR WOULD HAVE NEVER ENDED. RIGHT!! WELL CONGRESS ABOUT 100YRS LATER DECIDED STRIKE IT OUT. I WOULD FIGURE THAT WAS ILLEGAL RIGHT!! SO LET ME TELL YOU REAL QUICK THEN IN ARTICLE 13 IT SAID THAT ALL MEXICANS LIVING IN THE TERRITORY THAT THE MEXICO GAVE TO THE UNITED STATES WOULD AUTOMATICALLY BECOME U.S CITIZENS. THAT ALL THE LAND MEXICANS OWN IN THE NOW UNITED STATES WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP THERE LAND. I WONDER WHY CONGRESS STRUCK THAT OUT. SO LET ME TELL U ANY MEXICAN TREATED UNFAIRLY IN ALL THESE STATES SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ILLEGAL RIGHT. SINCE YOUR ALL ABOUT YOUR LAW. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BECAUSE ALL I HEAR ILLEGAL THAT RACIEST THIS ITS ALL PART OF THE BIG HUSH HUSH OUR SOCIETY ENCOURAGES. SOONER OUR LATER THIS WILL THE FACTS WILL COME OUT LIKE WILD FIRE.... SO BURN..

javascript:void(0) u said u are married to a hispanic woman, so what, do you think you did her a favor? u think u are so superior?
just because u gave some water to a mexican u are this great person? and then insult me on the internet and call me racist? who is the moron, and do not insult me , like u this are my opinions

javascript:void(0) why do you call me a moron? Ok I am used to be call names on the internet but again u are like many people who can only insult people in your litle beedrom but not face to face

IraqVet. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for any answers from these people. All they want to do is whine & snivel about how poorly they are treated. I think everybody knows the only real answer to this problem is mass deportation. Not only for the illegals, but their anchor babies as well. I just don't believe a squat & drop birth on US soil should necessarily make the parents or the child immune to US laws. If one parent is a legal citizen of the US, that is a different situation.

As for racial profiling, I have only say one thing about that. I wish the security people at Boston's Logan Airport had done some racial profiling on Sept. 11, 2001. I may have saved a lot of American lives. I think it is a legitimate & acceptable law enforcement tool.

I think it is time to stop worrying about being so politically correct, & start worrying about solving a problem which has gotten way out of hand. Extreme problems call for extreme solutions. Although I don't really consider enforcing the law to be an extreme measure. Otherwise we are going to just have to wait for the ship to sink, & hope all the rats leave.

Goedenmiddag bdr - I just now saw your post - You do indeed speak Dutch very well - I also agree with your views on the immigration subject. It is nice that on this forum, one can post a full message and does not have to worry about that goofy censor...have a great weekend.

Lavanilla-

Do you have any "humane" suggestions? Or were you just planning on floating your post in here (for the second time)?

When it comes down to the real deal of the issue most get caught up with the terminology to the point it is often forgotten we are debating about HUMANS. We are all of the same species and have the right to freedom regardless of any other societal convictions. Therefore the issue to be addressed is how our government can deal with law breaking humans, in a manner that is humane. This entails a need to define humane. Is it humane to separate parents from their US born children through a deportation process? Demand proof of legal status in the country on basis of racial profiling? Provide a TIN (Temporary Identification Number) for the purpose of tax filing when you are illegal and have no social security number, but must pay taxes? Please contemplate next time you take a nice drive down northern country wine valleys. You might notice a multitude of brown skinned laborers picking grapes, regardless of their legal status a US citizen hired them! You enjoy the wine! Regardless of a persons legal status in the United States they are human, we must treat them accordingly. You cannot easily blame a child for eating a candy that is placed in his hand, thus we cannot solely blame immigrants.

ClaremontVictor...ok, here's a suggestion. Lets' just let every single person in. And when everything goes down the drain...I want you to remember one thing...we did what all the pro-illegals wanted. So when everything starts to fail, when the system fails everyone from citizens to illegals, I want you to remember one thing...this is the way you wanted it.
Oh, and the racist bit...get off your high horse...you're the racist. One who disguise there true hate and misleads those to try to think they are racist are the racist ones. Again, go back and read my blogs...I'm married a hispanic female, whose grandfathers came from Mexico. My wife supports the side of keeping illegals out. Her grandfather...who was born in MEXICO supports the same as I.

As well, I did a great deed yesterday which had to do with a MEXICAN. Those people who collect donations at the stores, the ones that wear a white suit...in 100 degree weather. I had bought a water for my kids and I at the store we were at. We donated a bit of change as we always do and seen this guy sweating...so I gave him the water I bought for myself. I told my kids that you be curteous to people regardless of who they are. Now if I was a racist, I would not have done that. Again, my family is melting pot of the world, we have every major culture in my family.

Again Claremont-Victor, not only are you a moron, but a racist as well.

There are people that understand what we are talking about. It's not about racism, and it's not just about Mexicans. Those who claim we are racist will be the first to cry when there is no help because our government can't afford to do anything. They will be the first to cry when our education has gone down the drain.

Again, if you come here legally, welcome...if your here illegally (Mexican, Chinese, German, Russian, British, etc, etc, etc,) go home, work towards being here and then come back legally. I know of people who were here illegally, got tired of ducking the system, went back for a year or two and got their VISA's back here. Now they enjoy the benefits of being here legally.

Claremont-Victor

Why have you ignored the other points brought up and keep mentioning to rascism?

Why haven't you addressed the illegality of unauthorized immigrants? Doesn't it anger you that these criminals cast a shadow over you and your fellow imigrants that came here legally?

Further, why would the ideas of a border wall or not hiring illegals fail?

Please answer these questions. Hearing from an imigrant on these central issues is important to good discussions.

Actually, I believe the laws have been changed to now allow Americans to own property in Mexico. That isn't really the subject of this forum though. My thoughts this morning are of the number of pro-reformers who seem to think Americans should learn to speak Spanish. I fail to see what possible difference that would make towards alleviating the financial burden placed on the American taxpayer by illegal aliens. I speak several languages, including Spanish, & still think their presence is damaging to our economy. Understanding what they are saying doesn't make them welcome. I fail to see their point. Unless it's so we will be able to tell the guy that mowed our lawn what a crummy job he did.

Goedemorgan Corinne. Nice om u hier te zien.

mexico is down side us border, easy for somemany people from all over the world to get in, from all over the world, a new wall is not a solution, send everyone back mexicans and everybody is a really stupid idea, dont give them jobs, is just not going to work , i am sorry, i am mexican and i understand your frustuation, but please suggest new ideas not hatefull ideas and discriminating comments, because if you are racist people will answer the same way. if u want really answers give better ideas otherwise this topic is just another way to take anger over mexicans

Everyone here for the most part is speaking about the economic side of things. We are not being racist at all. The illegals are adding to our already draining economic system. What do you think it costs to house them in jail as well?

Funny, but you are not allowed to apply for a Visa in Mexico unless you can show proof of your financial stability. If you don't have the money you are not allowed to live in the country. I guess this is because they do not want us to drain there country either. Not only that American's can never own land in Mexico either.
