I think that one thing most people don't realize is that the republicans AND democrats want to keep the borders open. Its just for different reasons. So as much as you hear arguing about immigration, both political parties support it.

[sticksdaman]

they argue about immigration to get the general populus up in arms and to gather support.
this country was built on immigration but they want us to feel as though we are being "invaded" or some bullshit. in actuality functionalism states that everything serves a purpose INCLUDING illegal "immigrants"

[Hick]

whats wrong with immigration is the employers that are denying citizens jobs because of the cost benefits of hiring one unregistered persons and paying them less. If there are no jobs for them, they will most likely stop coming around.

what you say is true but not even close to reality
the immigrants this country was built on arent even in the same league as the shit thats coming into this country now. immigrants back in the day were proud to be here and proud of america. they strived to learn the language and assimilate . you didnt see them burning flags or even raising their countrys flags. they were americans. the mexicans and others who come here now dont want anything to do with america. they dont want to even learn the language. they want to work but they dont want anything to do with anything else.

[sticksdaman]

hell yea that shit is true why the fuck should WE naturalized BORN citizens have to learn somebody elses language?!
you dont go to italy and demand that everybody learn english and you damn sure wouldnt expect them to change their street signs and such to symbols so that your ignorant ass could understand

sadly, however as long as these major corporations are making the HUGE profits that keep their yachts fueled we will NOT see any form of change in this regard

Until they go back to communism and ally themselves with China...

haha. that's a fucking hoot. I doubt Russia is every going back to communism.

Also know that not a single member of congress had to send their kids to that war. Many of them have sons and daughters in the military but they saw to it that they would never have to go into combat. Start putting their kids in the line of fire and they will be home much sooner than you know.

Congressional members are rich. Their sons are rich. Hence, they don't have to serve in an armed force.

Those in need and desire of social class upgrade take on the risk (voluntarily may I remind you) in hopes of higher income and comp'ed education for a better future for their children.

Don't hate the congressmen because their ancestors worked hard, and possibly fought for freedom in the American Independance.

yes, actually i do. but english is the language used by countries which represent nearly 1/4 of the world GDP. along with many people who do business with them as well.

but America should adopt SI though

Im gonna have to disagree with you there. I know a ton more about this topic from both sides of the fence than anyone here. Ive been around lots of people of these circumstances my whole life. You, in general, are wrong for the most part. Trust me. The person who invented "Ingles sin barreras" (English without barriers [English speaking tutorial]) is a multi-multi millionaire. And the adult career centers and night colleges are FULL TO THE BRIM with people in the ESL classes, mostly of people your age and above. I can go on, but its just going to be another "agree to disagree" thing. ;)

"AMEN to a free country."

"I agree it's not worth fighting for, and no way in hell would I fight in this bullshit."

this is fucking comical... you want it both ways dont you?

Man, why would the USA be less free if 3000 marines were still alive, why is the USA better off after bombing a shithole in the middle east, it's great to fight for freedom and the power of our nations, but Chile would not be any better off after bombing Congo or Ethiopia, or whatever other shithole anywhere.

Please think that US Marines are US citizens, with families, dreams, girlfriends, sons, daughters, parents, etc.

It's absolutely pointless for anyone to die over Iraq, much less go to fight there, or were the generals afraid that the Iraqui fleet was going to sail all the way to the US and bomb the shit out of Washington DC, isn't that beyond anyone's wildest imagination no matter how dumb that person is ???

Just wait for them in the middle of the pacific ocean and nuke them to hell if they go. But let me tell you something, they don't have a Navy :p
