I've been driving my truck up to the spots where you pick up day laborers, pulling over about half way down the block and motioning to them, they all run and push and shove and just when they get to my truck, I drive away laughing and yelling "DAY WITHOUT A GRINGO!"
Well, it is in fact a RACE making a political statement here. If speaking out against this stupidity is going to be considered racist, then so be it, Im racist.valve bouncer said:The latent racism bubbling just below the surface doesn't take long to erupt at times like this.

So true, one of my co-workers walked up to me today looked around and said "We are in America again."Slugman said:Yup... haven't had to speak any Spanish today!
You are right, but recent events DO clearly illustrate the issue at hand. Im all for immigration, I just want it catalogued in some way. Osama Bin Sanchez has ZERO trouble getting in at present.Tenchiro said:It is a shame how many bigots and racists are still out there. I can't say that I am really suprised though. I have seen and heard so much disgusting behavior the last few days from my so-called countrymen, either in person, on th news and the internet.
I feel that most immigrants are far more deserving to stay in this country than the people that would have them removed.
The only crime most of these people have commited is being here without permission, and they are only doing that to make a better life for themselves and their family.
This must be what the Irish went through when they first immigrated.
Many (dare I say most) of the people protesting and marching are here legally.N8 said:I think the main gripes should be from the people who actually put in the time and effort to immigrate to the US LEGALLY.

I do think they should be able to immigrate legally, but from what I understand from friends who have immigrated (legally and otherwise) is that the cost of legal immigration is simply out of the reach of most Mexicans.BurlyShirley said:You are right, but recent events DO clearly illustrate the issue at hand.
