Immigration..

I didn't post this on BB because I know that the majority of the girls there may not agree with me. I'd rather just be able to vent without getting more pissed off at some of the responses that I'd probably see there.

First off, I don't agree with this bill. I hope it doesn't pass. Second, I think that the illegals that are here should be given a green card or what have you and start paying taxes. I think that it would help out our economy and give us some much needed cushion in your deficit. I think that while Mexican or whichever illegal we're talking about should try and learn English we don't have the right to FORCE them. I think that they know that it would better help them out. I'm sure the majority would love to try and learn English. But if ever you were in a position to try and learn another language then you know it's no easy task. I don't think we should forcifully remove anyone that is now living here. Unless of course they are known felons or something like that. I've been very frustrated that now.. since we have a southern border problem that now they have this kinda thing happen. But while we were getting tons of Cubans and Asians that it wasn't that big of a problem. Yes I agree we need to close our borders. We need to keep people out for threat of terroists. BUT the people that are here.. they need to be checked out and put in the system. They need to pay taxes and be a contributing part of society.

I'm babbling now.. but I just feel that I have to get that off my chest right now. Sam says they should be forced to learn English. I think force is wrong. yes.. suggestion is much better. He says that Americans have the right to be lazy idiot bastards because they were "born" here. They have the right to be whatever they want because they were born here. I have a problem with that. We have hard working individuals that come here to better themselves but in our country we look at them to be the criminals. But then we have able bodies that can do the work but choose to sit on welfare for years and years but that's ok, because they are Americans. I think.. that as of 4/11/06 we close the borders. The people that are this side of the border get recognized as tax payers. I also believe that we need to promote businesses and jobs in Mexico and other poor countries. You don't see Canadians moving here.. why? because it's actually rather nice up there. We do a whole lot for Iraq and their livelihood even tho they don't want it. But yet we can't help out Mexico.. so that their people are happy to stay there. Happy with the job they have.. happy with the housing and what not. ugh!!

1) learning a foreign language is hard, but it's a lot easier, especially, if you live in a country where that language is spoken. it IS POSSIBLE. believe *me*.
2)Americans can be lazy, because they're... Americans. and that is not much of a compliment.
3)Canadians are not moving in, but Americans have been moving to Canada since Mr.President began "protecting" his people. I think that people should leave the states alone and let them survive on their own. There are places on this planet that are not any worse.

p.s.i hope i didn't offend you with anything in my comment.

Oh I agree with you...I think they should teach English though, as part of the normal citizenship process. At least the "basics", enough so that they can understand some English. I hate that we take advantage of the Mexican immigrants - I think part of the reason that the gov't doesn't want to grant citizenship is because they want to continue to take advantage of them. I don't know, I am so fed up with the entire government and how things are going lately, I don't think it really matters how I think about things...
