6/19/2007 - Illegal Imigration

Well one of the main and biggist difference between imigrants from Europe and other places, and those from Mexico, is gerneally people comming here form oversears are doing so legally, while the immigrants from Mexico are entering the country illegaly. And the way I see it, if there are rules in the country everyone should have to follow all the rules. If I were to go out and commit a crime I would be punnished, but people who commit a crime by illegaly comming into ths US are gerneally not punished. Nothing is stopping them from going through the legal process, other then it is harder.

The other thing is, they are not going to advance very high up the latter becasue they refuse to learn anything about American culture, not saying they have to loose thier own culture, but they want to make American money and have American rights, but will not for the life of them learn to speak English and they think the laws do not apply to them that apply to everyone else.

They come here thinking they are autmaticly owed something and have no interest in becomming apart of America in any way shape or form, they just wnat to take all the benfits.

6/20/2007 - That's what I meant by rules.

These can be pretty strict, for all I'm concerned, from English classes to cultural lessons, to a certain number of hours they have to work. Make them strict and clear, and keep tabs on those who sign the contract that allows them to come to America, but anyone who signs the contract, should not be hindered too much by bureaucracy, etc.

Maybe you should even be so bold as you are when it comes to the American citizenship fasttrack procedure. According to publications I've read, if you want to become an American citizen in five years time, you cannot afford to take anytime to yourself. You have to have a fulltime job, and all your time off, except the time you need for eating and sleeping, should be given to the community, in the form of volunteering, or otherwise. There's no reason why this shouldn't be asked of immigrants from Latin America.
