Cinco de Mayo

[Cross-7]

I worked with an old Mexican man
He told stories of him growing up working hoeing cotton and pulling cotton by hand, field labor.
They ate lots of stuff out of necessity, not cause they wanted too
Lots of cow head, trepias and etc cause that's what the patron gave them
He raised 3 kids that have done very well for themselves that never had to suffer through what he did

Why do Americans celebrate a Mexican holiday , I don't understand this. MAybe we should make may 5th the day they are all deported . that's a holiday I could celebrate.

You better hide: Almost every remaining tobacco farmer in the State of Kentucky relies on Mexican Emigrant labor. Plus many of the dairy and beef producers.

Deport them to

Throwing a wide loop lots of Americans of Hispanic
roots been American a lot longer that the Irish or Italians especially in the southwest. I don't see that it is any different than the other ethnic holidays. Texas would have had a hard time winning independence had it not been for the tejano one third the USA would still be Mexico

I agree.

There are plenty of white, American, trash that live off the government tit. The idea that all Mexicans are lazy and on welfare is not true. IMO, from being emursed in the culture, most are very driven, hard working, entrepreneurial people.

Our "system" is broken. There are people of all ages and ethnicity taking advantage of that. Fix the system and you will fix the problem.

I know a guy who has two ranches in south Texas. His family has owned them since Texas was part of Mexico. The headquarters was in Mexico and they had property all scattered around. He is Mexican and his family has probably been here longer than most of these people saying to deport all the Mexicans.

I agree too.
In my family there are many ethnicities represented, Hispanic being one of them. I shared in another post that I have been mistaken for being Mexican, several times. Some of those instances were not in the context of kindness, it has given me personal insight into how hurtful some folks can be towards others.

To many in America think that is same thing.
Get ready to start deporting around here bring a bucket of corks you will need them.

Illegal immigrants don't belong in this country. Without laws we are a lawless country. I'm all for cheap labor and good help. But we need to know who's who in this country. Without that our whole government and freedom is at risk.

 

[Brute 23]

I agree that the illegal aspect is not good but that is part of the broken system.

Would you blame your cows if they went to the neighbor's pasture but you didn't put a fence up? There are plenty of Americans that break the law all the time. Let's deport multiple DWI offenders, repeat drug users, violent criminals, ect. They actually endanger others when they break the law.

The idea that all those people can be deported is rediculous. 1) secure the border 2) amnesty for those already here so we can get them on the tax roll 3) expedite the process for becoming legal because we do depend on them

Agree we want to throw out people that want to work and keep those that have been on welfare since LBJ seems to me we got it backwards.

Deport them to..illegal is illegal it's pretty cut and dried.

If your policy had been enforced from the beginning I bet a lot of the board members today would not be here.
Assimilation is the problem not immigration in country founded by immigrants.
The immigrant of the day has always had the menial jobs of the time.
The true ignorance lies in the American voter and letting this become a nation of regulation cedeing more power to the government with each one. The current election cycle truly backs up the ignorance of the voter
with one candidate screaming build a wall to bring back jobs while the other pushes shutting down coal and cheap energy that makes operating good jobs here more profitable.
Never again will the USA be a manufacturing superpower under the boot of the epa.

Agreed, assimilation is the key. Most of our ancestors came from lots of different countries and came together here. I have heard stories of families choosing to only speak English, and others tried to hide their ethnic backgrounds and pass as another.
My great grandfather on my Dad's side was born shortly after his Irish immigrant parents arrived in this country in the mid 1800's, at a time when many Irish were coming in and were not highly thought of.

It is only a civil offense to cross without papers, and a lot of them ARE on the tax rolls without getting the benefits for it, not to mention the sales and other taxes and economic activity they generate while living here. The subject is not a simple black and white one of "broken laws" or getting papers. Many poor people in Mexico and further south have no way to get papers for here because they have no way to even get them at home. Have you ever experienced a nightmare day at the MVD? Multiply that by 1000 and maybe add in having to travel hundreds of miles and stay for a week or more to get some bureaucratic snafu straightened out. When your income is a few dollars a day or even nothing.
