Is anyone else getting "Illegal Imigration", forwarded e- mails?
My ex has either gone to the right or she's just not reading what she forwards. Lately I've been receiving e-mail concerning immigration. One of them is the "I took a trip to Mexico..." where you cant get the "special treatment" there that they get here...
Today I got another one from her. Its a letter from a supposed school teacher in Los Angeles, complaining about how unruly Mexican kids are, how they get FREE LUNCH with breakfast and a cereal bar... And about how she has to buy her own materials and these unruly and violent mexicans get all kinds of free stuff....
Its just getting tired.

Migrant workers are the "Welfare Queens" of the 21st century.

2. I'm quite surprised that I haven't gotten a politically leaning
in a long time. I just get the run of the mill, get a college degree overnight and pay off my mortgage in about three days and lose weight fast and of course the ever popular, enlarge your cock to massive proportions emails.

4. Yup, Reagan's "Mrs. Brown in Chicago" is now "Ms. Gonzales in LA"...
I dare any republican to go find the real statistics between the total cost of all school food subsidies in the whole country and compare it to the subsidy given to Exxon last year.

6. I turn it around on them by pointing the finger at big business
Edited on Thu May-04-06 01:44 PM by alfredo
and farms hiring illegals. I use the supply and demand argument: if business didn't demand a docile workforce that was willing to work in substandard conditions for substandard pay, we wouldn't have the constant supply of illegals to fill those jobs. American businesses do not want to comply with American minimum wage and labor laws. bush is allowing them to run their own little banana repubics.

I also pointed out the agreement between bush and Fox back when bush wanted Mexico to join the coalition of the willing.

I also point out that when I was a mail carrier I delivered to a lot of Mexican workers. Not one was getting government assistance. They received no food stamps, no welfare, nothing. The only health care I saw was a state nurse came around checking for communicable diseases like Tuberculosis.


Yes, Americans can do those low paying slave labor jobs, but they will have to do like the migrants by living in large multi family groups. Of course many cities have laws against people living together if they are not related. (they are the anti commune laws from the 60's and 70's) The town I worked as a mail carrier had that law, but turned a blind eye to the migrant workers. I know many were illegals because the farmers admitted to me that they hired illegals. the migrants worked in teams. The leader provided living space, rides, and meals. He also kept them in line. Most of the leaders I knew were good guys. The leader was usually married. His wife and maybe one other woman took care of the house. The houses were always spotless. The kids were real jewels. American kids never came up and hugged me, the Mexican and central American kids did.
