This is a total of crock of $hit. I had tons of friends in San Diego that were 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants from Mexico and they had assimilated fine. I think I only knew one grandmom who spoke no English amoungst my friends. And she was from India. Her son had immigrated here legally with her and his daughter was my friend. The daughter was assimlated fine as she never knew anything but here. The father was a bit strict but otherwise fine. The grandmother didn't speak English and never left the house so maybe she didn't assimilate. But in general they assimilate fine.
***Where were you when I believe it was last year some time (perhaps during Cinco de Mayo) when illegal Mexicans, somewhat legal Mexicans, and Liberal America were marching in the streets of many of our largest cities demanding equal rights and demanding open borders in the Southwest? I remember Ted kennedy shouting through a bullhorn to the illegal world that we should have open borders. Many of these protestors displayed Mexican flags in direct defiance of America and the American flag. None of these people had assimilation on their minds, and furthermore their actions were racist toward every American willing to listen and understand their message.
Illegal aliens bother me. While I feel for them the problem isn't one that should be ignored. I've already said that. And yes you are correct that they leech off our system and they do cost a ton of money.
However the ones that are here legally and living in ridiculously expensive San Diego houses are not leeching off the system in anyway, shape, or form. Most of them have been here for generations and many of them are quite well off. They have no intention of segregating themselves off into some barrio full of people you deem to be Mexicans.
***High class recent legal immigrants are certainly a minority. Next time you take a personal poll of these Mexican immigrants from Kalifornia--you made want to include the millions living in the barrios and of those that are incarcerated so as to get a more accurate assessment to their assimilation finesse. Don't forget to search through L.A.'s more prominent gang neighborhoods as well.
What have I ever said constitutes "socialism?" My belief that legal immigrants can assimilate into the US just fine and that they need not be restricted to living in neighborhoods by race or skin color? Is that, to you, socialism??? :rofl
***Merely using incorrect rhetoric that legal immigrants can assimilate into the US just fine, doesn't address the fact or reality that most of them fail to assimilate.
I do know many illegals end up in jail. I also know they use the ER as their primary care dr. and they don't pay their medical bills and they tend to work jobs where physically injury is quite common. They also enroll their non-English speaking kids in schools and in areas where the illegal alien population is high it's a real problem. I have never disagreed with any of that.
However there are also tons of legal immigrants that don't cause such problems.
**There may be tons of legal immigrants that don't cause problems, but for purposes here--its the loudest most unassimilated legals that make the most noise, cause the most friction, cost us the most money, and incite racial tensions throughout the land.
Immigration laws should be enforced. As far as "unassimilated legal immigrants" I'm not sure what you're talking about as I haven't seen enough of this in the US to view it as a problem. I do understand that it is a problem in parts of Europe but where in the US are legal immigrants not assimilating in large numbers?
**Well, there is anywhere from 20-30 illegal immigrants in this country, so we can safely say that none of them have even bothered to entertain the though of assimilating. Now there is also this huge amount of legal immigrants that continue to swell our welfare roles, utilize our hospitals at the tax payers expense, and continue to speak Spanish over the act of actually learning how to speak English.
And what the fvck is racially neutral? :stooges I have no idea what that means.
***Racial neutrality is a generic term meaning that one is not out to incite, complain, or argue over anything racial. I prefer to live in a segregated community that is racially neutral; we do not make a big deal out of racial differences or racial problems of integrated communities; thus we can never be considered to be racist in any manner whatsoever. Even if I were to have racist/supremacist thoughts (which I don't), I couldn't be accused of being a racist because I've kept those thoughts to myself. So as far as you know, I could be the poster boy for national racial harmony. That wouldn't be a stretch, seeing how its me that has suggested segregation as a means to preventing racism.
Clearly continuing with you is nothing more than riding the short bus. :2wave: :2wave:
