Illegal immigration

[Heracles 417]

This is what kills me about the US. The country has no problem invading other countries around the world but is scared to tackle the drug cartels in South America.

Another case:

The beheadings of twelve people in southern Mexico is being blamed on a powerful drugs cartel based across the border from Texas.

Eleven beheaded bodies with signs of torture were dumped outside the city of Merida on Thursday.

Photos of the crime scene showed headless corpses stacked on top of one another in a field. Some of the bodies had tattoos and were jumbled amid blankets and tarps.

A 12th beheaded body was found 80 km away in a small town.

Investigators say the victims were drug dealers and all 12 had their heads cut off while they were still alive.

It appeared to be the largest single group of beheadings in recent years in Mexico. The tactic has become more frequent in gangland-style killings, and the largest previous instance of decapitations occurred in 2006, when gunmen tossed five human heads into a bar in central Mexico.

Merida, located on the Yucatan Peninsula, has largely been spared the drug-gang violence afflicting many other Mexican cities.

Drug hitmen often use decapitations against rival traffickers. The statement by the federal attorney general's office said, "The government absolutely rejects any act of violence related to criminal events, even when it is carried out between members of criminal organizations."

You do have a chip on your shoulder now don't you?

Never mind, I just remembered that all Mexicans have a grade 2 education, cannot speak English, and cross the border swimming.

Question remains: if you are always b1tching about the way things are in the US, why the hell don't you just leave?

If the founding fathers had your attitude this country would be another Mexico.

Just did a quick google search on beheadings in Mexico. WOW!!. How many beheading cases are there. There were around 100 or so people beheaded on the first google results page alone..

I don't know about you but I wouldn't want these sort of people coming into my country. Probably not many OECD nations out there who would. Hence their stringent immigration policies.

Yup, we'll have better food

And again the question remains... why don't you just leave and move to a country that deserves your enlightened presence?

To stand up and say illegal immigration is wrong because... well you might as well include yourself your next remark unless your a real native of this land. Saying ohh but I was born here.. well your daddy or his daddy or your great great what ever wasn't born here where they? Go take a look in the mirror look at your name, your last name.. you and your people came from somewhere too.

a superficial argument if there ever was one.

Good one. Better food. The only Mexican food I like is Fajitas. Which is basically from Texas.

Yep. I should pack up and leave because I don't agree with Mexicans exploiting this country. For Example Leeeen, One of the schools in our county now employs SIX ESOL teachers while only one teacher to deal with kids who are autistic or have learning disabilities. Basically one teacher for white and black American kids who pay more than their fair share of taxes; compared to ESOL kids who tend to be on free lunch.

Mexico is an OECD nation.

Shhhh......

I thought they were poor and that is why they are coming here. So they are basically jumping the line because they cannot wait like everybody else..

Yup, I'm poor and that's what I came here.... seriously.

Never mind BY, you are right. Always have been, Always will be....

So are they poor or are they not? Don't seem to be too poor considering the plasmas I see them buying at walmart.

As you have acknowledge they are from an OECD nation. A country with the 15th largest GDP in the world is hardly poor. Same goes with having one of the richest people in the entire world living there.

They're not scared because they are in cahoots with them.

The "war on drugs" is the biggest joke in the world !

Illegal immigration is what made America what it is, good and bad! Without all those "illegal" english, french, german, italian and of course irish and too many more to list there wouldn't be an america. Although I'm sure the natives would have felt much better about it that way..

So I can just rock up at Ireland and they will be open arms with a right this way mate. Yeah right this way into a holding cell.

The unemployment rate is now 6.1% and rising, over 1,000,000 Americans are loosing their homes, yet some are advocating the US should still have an open house policy. Countries like Canada, Australia and the UK, who are tightening up their immigration policies on a daily basis, must just be inhumane and crazy.

I'm not saying lets go free for all, lets let in the nutters and drug deals.. of course not.. I'm not stupid! I'm saying it isn't right to basically treat people like their 2nd class because they don't confirm to a set of rules designed to keep them out! Don't get me wrong but America favors the rich not the poor, it favors the every many for himself idea which isn't right in this day and age! If America braced some less conservative ideas.. e.g. something slightly more socialist and less everyman for himself like Europe it wouldn't have such a mess when it comes to poverty, homelessness and it wouldn't waste vast fortunes on a bloated military. Maybe it might actually start providing something for the people instead of taking, taking and taking with no return.

You're correct this is a very different nation than what started out but the idea behind this thing I thought isn't what it currently is. If bush was in charge back then they'd be flying a union jack in the "colonies" still.

I didn't know you checked for Green Cards or birth certificates at Wal-Mart? I'll be sure to have mine in hand next time I'm in looking at a new TV?... You never stopped to think for a minute that maybe what your looking at is a citizen or someone with documentation putting that on a credit card or on store credit or even someone that's worked their guts out and saved for it? Of course not that would involve some logic wouldn't it? We don't buy anything really on credit, we save then pay with our card I know it's not the "norm" but there isn't anything we don't actually own 100% of!

I detest racism in all it's forms, one thing I hate about this place is when people go on about the big bad evil immigrants then talk bad about Mexicans. If I where you I'd rethink your post.

Really... and how would that be?

Has it become a problem ? Do you approve of it ? What do you think needs to be done to the current system ?

I think it's great and we need more of it. I was thinking of divorcing my wife and hooking up with an illegal.
