So this got me yesterday when I was in Wal-Mart I mean I know it's the new mecca for all the welfare & poor of America today but Christ. I was in looking for these certain ant traps I got there once for these fucking sweet ants I have that are annoying as fuck. When I just noticed all I heard was fucking Spanish & Fucking Indians every where I turned. Oh Dot not Feather on the Indians. I mean blah blah blah blah blah not one goddamn word of English. Then I went by game exchange today to see what they had. Well they had Dead Rising for 19 bucks on special or some shit so I picked it up again to finish off the achievements I missed when I'm bored or something. Well I get in line behind this little family of Mexicans buying a few games and some DVDS. Well the kicker was they would speak broken English to each other then turn to the cashier and speak Spanish and she had no fucking clue what the wet backs were saying. He kept making her ring everything up with this one DVD to see how much it was. And she kept saying that the buy whatever get one free doesn't work if he did that. He would pretend not too understand then turn around and say in English that he read the sign and go get something. So after 5 mins of this shit she rings it all up. It came to 60 bucks. Well now they all start digging thru their pockets to come up with the money. I haven't seen that many dollar bills since I dated that stripper. Then they were short and just rambling on in Spanish trying to scam the girl. Then the oldest made the younger one go get grandma. Who pulls out her coin purse and starts pulling out this endless supply of dimes & Quarters. Well I finally looked over at the 2 other jerk offs behind the counter and told them to open the other register. It took about 12 mins total before I paid and walked out and they were still standing there paying. Really we need to fucking load these cock suckers up in 18 wheelers and take them back across the boarder. Then put 2 man M60 teams every 100 feet along the border with orders to shoot to kill.
Amerikkka My family originally came to America as Huguenots from ...I don't know. This is me/us, if you can get past the annoying music: http://www.tyaskin.com/handley/mezick.htm At what point to you 'close the gates'? This is an interesting thread. I mean, America was built on the idea of "Give us your poor, your tired, your huddled". At what point are we full of tired and huddled? It's a strange thing. How do we deal with the concept of No Vacancy?
Well there is a big difference between then and now. They had rules you had to follow to get in. Now we just change everything for them. If they were doing it by the book I would have no problems.
Are you sure about that? What kind of rules did they have back then that 'we' don't have now? Honestly, I think that back then it was just a matter of, if you can get here, you're in. I think there are a lot more regulations today.
Oh, and Dan, show us some information about how your ancestors came over on the Mayflower. Were they above or below deck
I see alot of Eastern Kentucky white trash. The mexicans are the quiet hard working types. I'm sure it's alot different in California. I don't care if they have insurance or not as a resident I get paid the same either way which works out to less than 10 dollars an hour but with over 80 hours per week it's about 43,500.
I'm not aware of any point in history where immigrants were given "American" names and forced to study English. Do you have anything that you can reference that backs that up? I think that immigrants wanted to learn English so that they could better assimilate. I think that now-a-days, there is such a buffer zone for them, entire communities of immigrants that allow them to live in an area inside the US that is pretty much a tiny version of their own country. It's easy for them to not ever learn to speak English and live their entire lives here. Does anybody know if the US citizenship test requires the applicant to speak English?
What pisses me off is the criminal cholo shit. It's like Mexico took a giant shit on us with these scumbags. Deport their asses after implanting a microchip in their skull to track their locations should they ever return is my solution.
I was always under the impression that some name changed happened at Ellis island. I have been tracking my family tree after my wife did hers. I got back to both my Great great grandfathers who were Indians then the trail went cold. It's just ticks me that they're coming up her and taking jobs. The media keeps trying to make us think they're taking the jobs we don't want. But around my area they are taking the roofing, construction, lawn and other jobs and have put a lot of companies and crews under the bus. Most of my Camera guys during the live meet work these type of jobs and they can't compete with the Mexicans. Because what they will do for 8 or 9 an hour. The Mexicans will do for 4 bucks. Of course 4 bucks to a Mexican isn't anything cause they are all living together in one place pooling the money together to wire home to bring more of them up. We need to start putting jail time to people who hire them. We need to stop them from wiring money out of the country without proper id or a green card. I think these 2 things would slow it down to a crawl.
I believe the practice at Ellis island was to shorten long names. Or to de-ethnisize them. It may have just been lazy people not wanting to try and write the whole name out. Then the Native Americans took names, usually "American" names to assimilate, not because they were forced, I dont think, but because they wanted to fit in. I think grim is right about deporting them. Not that I think they are dishonest or bad, but because I think if a person is an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT, they should be deported. There was a case last week, I think in Idaho, or Oklahoma, one of those podunkt states, where an illegal was caught selling crack, gets thrown in jail, and because he isnt a citizen, they are trying to throw him out of jail. So, if he is here illegally, isnt that breaking the law? So pack em' up, put a chip or a tattoo or whatever on em and get them out. Take a DNA sample, so that if they get caught again Mexico has to pay for their trip charges. Including the salaries of the officers who caught them, the cost of housing, the transportation costs, and any incidentals like healthcare. It think hospitals should be held accountable too. Yea, you took the hipocratic oath and all, but if someone doesnt have proof of citizenship, cant prove at all that they are legally here, then help them, and then deport them. And take a dna sample. I dont think 'no vacancy' is correct, but I am tired of hand outs that are going on all over the country and for what? So Dr. Johnson can get his yard cleaned for 20.00 instead of 40.00? Anyone hiring illegals should be held accountable. Make them pay taxes on the person they paid less than minimum wage to. If someone rents a house, or apartment, to a legal immigrant, and it is found later to house illegal immigrants, the legal gets deported. If the landlord knowingly rents to illegals they are charged with harboring a fugitive.
I agree with Phat. I had no idea about food stamps til the older guy at my place started having medical problems. He has been filing for disability & all that crap. Well he found out he could get on food stamps. He can get 425 dollars a month! A month for food! One person! Me & my wife's food bill isn't even close. I don't know many single people or 2 people who have one that high.
425 a month is huge. I could feed my family of 4 on that, excluding chuck-e-cheese and stuff. I wonder if they give it to him as a debit card or if it's vouchers? I know the new thing down here was to give the food stamps/ebt money on a check card. To save the user embarassment. WTF? To save the lazy, baby machine from embarassment? Yea, that's great, lets make them feel good about themselves, it's not their fault.....
Well he isn't' lazy he is about to be 62 and he has worked 2 jobs as long as I've known him. He just got some joint thing recently that has kind of crippled him up. He had to quit his security job and still working for us part time. I think he got the debit card thing. But it's crazy that much for one person. I was just talking to him and his food bill before he got this was like 125 dollars a month at it's highest.
Yea, them old people like to eat dog food so it's pretty cheap...... Does it let him cash it out if he doesnt use it all?
What gets me are the Mexicans (Puerto Ricans... Costa Ricans... whatever) who use "no speak English" to get out of stuff. I was born and have lived 99.5% of my life in a white city.... we might have 20-30 Mexicans total and maybe 50-75 blacks and 20-30 Indians. but when I lived in NC for a few months... culture shock!!! I worked with Mexicans, who used 'no speak English' to get out of doing shit. All I wanted was for them to get a pillow and take it to a room and I even did hand motions and I just got a smirk and a "no speak english". I knew damn well they knew what I was saying. I didn't have a problem doing something that petty that wasn't my job, but it was the fact that they used the language barrier as a trump card. Now if I approached them and said that I just found a 50 dollar bill and wondered what I should do with it, you better bet that they would have 'speaked english'.
