I mean, if we had an illegal influx of well-bred Canadians I don't think anyone would really give a shit.

LOL, good point.

Oh ok.

Well I want to expel illegals too. The word 'illegal' kind of gives it away.

I honestly don't think that most people are up in arms about the fact that they're here against the law. I think it has to do with culture. The issue of it being "legal" is just a smoke screen that hides what people are really feeling about an invasion of Latino culture.

Speak for yourself, there Hoss. I hate those goddamn Canucks just as much as the Mexicans.

I don't even see how that's a real argument anyways. You questioning motives seems fairly irrelevant to the whole thing.

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm just saying that people need to call a spade a spade.

I'm not really into this invasion we have going on either, but I'm not going to pretend it's because of legality. That doesn't mean that I don't like any Latinos, or that I want illegals I've known to be deported. A lot of them have been very cool people and I'm fine with them just staying here and getting their papers and living their lives.

At the same time, I think that by and large it's not a culture that espouses the sort of ideals and values that I personally do, or that I feel America traditionally does. And I kind of wish they'd just keep that shit over there where the came from.

On the other hand, Japanese people can come here all they want. Especially their women.

LOL.

I agree with that. The only thing wrong with Latinos is that there are so goddamn many of them.

Hey if you lived in a war torn country you would try to escape out of that bitch. Mexico is seriously fucked up right now. Drug cartels galore.

What's your point? Should we just open the border up and make them all citizens?

I know.

I also feel that they're more here to EXPLOIT the country, rather than BE OF the country. That is, they don't really want to be Americans. They want to profit from America, usually sending all that money they make back to their own country rather than keep it in the local economy.

Really, I don't get it. We brought black folks over here 200 years ago, and somehow just in the past decade latinos have surpassed them in number.

Oh well. At least we don't have the Muslim problem that Europe is dealing with right now. So I'm not going to complain too much.

I don't disagree. I just wish that if they were going to come here that they would try to embrace America a little more. Learn English, at least. Get an education. And don't just huddle together . . . mingle with the natives.

So should I try to pay taxes on this shit or just say fuck it? I dont want to set off any audit triggers.

I gambled for 10 years and never paid taxes but the most I've ever won is 5k and the biggest check I've ever cashed from gambling is 3500.

I wouldnt worry about taxes until your making like 40k a year

You could make the argument that it's too hard to become a citizen. Because it really is a very long and involved process, and I think that there's also a considerable cost as well. I know when I was in Guatemala that I talked a few people there about coming to the US and they told me that it was very expensive and that only a certain number of people were allowed per year.

Seems a far cry from the "give me your hungry, give me your poor" ideals that the country at least pretended to espouse in the past.

And on the illegals note is it really their fault they were born in a shitty country full of crime and drugs?

I mean the only reason they are coming here is for a better life . They arent taking your and my jobs either .Most illegals work construction or minimum wager jobs.

Are you saying it's a harder and more expensive process than back in the Ellis Island days?

Its just the Mexicans turn to be the unwanted immigrant, it was the Italians, then the Irish, then the gypsies, then the Chinese, now Mexicans, I predict Indians are next.
