Mr. Castillo, at least we're not the only ones to have the wackiest state in the Union, you Texans are hangin' right with us. Although I was born in Texas, I grew up in Cali, so if I moved back to my birth state it would be pretty much same, same, right Mr. C.?
:idea: Hey, you guys do TKD up in those parts???

On a happier note, it seems that Darryl Isa (sp.?), the right-wing millionaire nut job who started this particular stupid disaster (cost estimates run from 35-75 mil, at this point), cried when he withdrew from the race yesterday.
We oughta send him the bill.

Until then: immigrants are not your enemy.

Say what you want about immigrants. But the truth is you're going to pay for them if they are here or not. What people don't realize is that your food bill would AT LEAST triple. who's going to pick the food in the fields? or the work that requires no skills? or the landscaping? etc. nobody wants to do those jobs, even if they paid minimum wage. And it's illegal to make prisoners do that type of work, so who's left to do it?
the fact is, without the immigrants, the California economy would collapse, leading the nation into a deep recession or depression. Thats the real reason nothing has been done about the issue. Do you really think they couldn't close up the border if they wanted to? It all has to do with economics.
Yea that guy bank rolled the best Wiley Koyote cartoon in ages. Serves his a** right if you ask me.Originally posted by rmcrobertson

Well, where i am coming from, I'm not talking about them taking my job (if they want to become that well eduacted about PCs and take my job so be it...id welcome that for a change) or about "paying" for them...
By that, It sounds like You make the assumption that I am speaking soley about the hispanics, but I'm not...
I admit that my neighborhood has a gang problem and that its mostly hispanic gangs... I admit its ONLY the hispanic immagrants, legal AND illegal, pushing for me to have to learn spanish because they dont want to learn english... (At least, as far as i know, no illegals from spain have been trying that here...) and I think those types of arguments are the reason that everyone thinks "Mexico" when they think "illegal" but the fact is they come from all over the world...
Regardless of how much your hearts want to bleed for the ones who snuck across the border, smuggled in on a boat, or whatever means they had for getting here from Europe, Mexico, Russia or Asia... by dismissing/justifying it you are approving of it. You openly admit that crime is ok... in which case Do me a favor, mail me all your stuff, since It OK for me to rob you, becuase "Hey, its just a Crime, no big deal" (in theory it actually boosts the economy (oh dont get me started on that)) but anyhow mail me your stuff, cuz it saves me the trouble of ACTUALLY coming and stealing from you. :shrug:
I know, I know, we ALL are hypocrites when it comes to the law, Some of us speed, some of us fileshare, some of us do other things... but illegal immigration seems pretty damn big comparativley.
<shrug> Maybe its just me... but My family followed the procedure outlined by the laws when they came, and I just think it undermines everyone who DOES make the effort... and regardless of anyone elses opinion, I will never condone Illegal immigration.
