Yeah, they actually do. They realize that the thoughts like the ones expressed in your post are the reason why there's still war going on in the world.

What you describe is your perception of reality. Reality may in fact be something completely different, especially when the veneer of racism is removed.

How do you know they are Mexicans? Just because they don't have white skin and speak with a hispanic accent doesn't make them Mexican.

According to the 60 Minutes segment the reason there is an increase in drownings in the canal is because of the border fence. They are saying the fence is doing to good a job and now the canal is the only section available for crossing. I guess the fence needs to extend down the canal also.

Mexico is just a conduit for illegals. A very large portion of the illegals that make it to the southeast are from Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador or Guatemala but all come through Mexico. I was able to speak with a large group that were doing construction next door, a few years back, and the entire construction group was from Guatemala. There have been several drownings at a State Park where I spend a lot of time. On any given Sunday the beaches at the park will have Hispanic's there in the thousands. All of the drownings were illegals and none were from Mexico. Central American's particularly those from Honduras and Nicaragua are easy to identify because they are very small people compared to those from Mexico.

I just watched the piece again. It's definitely a problem. Do they make it safer, knowing that people are going to try to cross, and they might drown? Or do they leave it as is, since making it safer might encourage even more people to try to cross, entering the U.S. illegally? My question is, if they can't extend the fencing, can they improve the supervision on the canal? Would it help to light it better and have people watching more closely who could rescue those who get into trouble while trying to cross?

I think they should be helped across. And as soon as get out of the water, they should be presented with a Mouseketeers Certificate (let's not forget the Mickey Mouse ears to).

You have a whole southern hemisphere of them pesky Spanish speakers!


The Mex government is trying to keep the Central Ams from coming up and supplanting the locals - who lose jobs to undocumented workers from CentAm and the countries at the top of SouAm - sound familiar?

There is no simple answer to this problem.

The first thing that needs to happen is for people to ditch the racism/bigotry and work towards laws that are just and fair.

By the same token?

We have to tell the illegals that the free ride is over.

Being a 'guero' I get to see both sides of the arguement.

There are people here illegally that laugh at system that allows them free access to many of the programs that help them stay here in the States.

They really tick me off and I run into them often. Those are the people who do not appreciate MY country and should not be given the right to enjoy it.

This is a tough issue and people have to chill out or toughen up.

There is a place stuck right in the middle that will take care of the whole situation.

It's up to everyone to take that first step forward.

Just because you have a Barrier Reef and sharks guarding your borders doesn't mean you have be a smart arse...

Yep.....we have to keep our sharks fed with prime illegal immigrants.

Oh, By the way it is not only the Mexicans coming across the border but DRUGS. DRUGS for you, your children, parents, grandparents, aunties, & uncles, cousins, grandkids, mother in laws, father in laws, etc. It is Mexicans that were brought here illeagally by the Jews that ran the packing plant. It was Mexicans that were sent back to Mexico. Call them Hispancis if you want to be politcally correct.

[Lady's Human]

Drugs come into the US by many routes, what's your point?

And again, how do you know they were mexican?

Where do the Masons, Blacks and Illuminati come into your argument?

My world is so real it is scary at times. I strive every day to lay aside the prejudices, the hate, the bigotry, the "isms". It is hard work, but it is worthwhile. I do not refer to people by their ethnic or religious ties, their body shapes, colours, disabilities, etc. They are people. They live and they die and do a whole lot of other stuff inbetween. Maybe some of it is bad, good or immaterial. My job is to police myself and my young son, and our ever growing populus of four legged companions. Frankly, I don't have time to do much else. I am not PC, I call a spade a spade, and I call you out on your bigotted post. Usually, bigotry is born of fear and ignorance. Perhaps you are different. As I said, I don't know you from Adam.
