Well I think the post maker basically thought that the immigrants are basically making America an extension of Mexico, that's my interpretation of his thoughts.

So I think that's why he has something against the Mexicans.

I don't have anything against Mexicans, I DO have a problem with the immagrants if they are either: illegal aliens, or if they don't learn the language and don't "join the melting pot"

Basically, I do think that's what their doing because unlike most other immagrant groups which joined the "melting pot" of American culture, the Mexican immagrants stubbornly keep their native cultures by not learning English, not celebrating the holidays etc

I'll give you one thing, mexicans do mow lawns pretty cheaply (hehehe), but they aren't invading us with seige after seige of immagrants. And even if this was true, the mexicans are just taking back what was theres about 300 years ago, before Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California, and Nevada were states, they were part of mexico. I'm not going to bother going into the history for you man, just let this argument rest and save yourself headaches.

Uh....lets see, their are about 8 million illegal immagrants in the nation, and that's just the illegal ones. Not to mention the fact that the number of Mexican immagrants is supposed to triple over the next few decades. This wouldn't be a concern accept that the number of these that are adopting America's culture is shrinking drastically, and the numbers that are keeping their native Cultures is rising drastically.

IceWraith, you seen terribly threatened by the mexicans, but you know, who the hell are you to say that if they're on land that your ancestors took from their ancestors that they have to do everything your way. and if they don't then they shouldn't be here? what exactly is "our way" anyhow, i speak english, but i don't celebrate any national holidays. does that mean i should get a free premanent vacation to mexico? (well, i'm not mexican, but hey, only mexicans wouldn't assimilate our corporate american culture, right?)

Poor you! The mexicans are trying to live a better life but not lose their roots. How sad it is that the americain superpower can't assimilate them into 9-5 minimum wage workers. So what if they don't speak english? What does it matter to you? You're never going to talk to them except if you want the newest issue of swank. And holidays? Gimme a break! All those things are is excuses to spend your hard earned money on chocolate, and other junk that you wouldn't buy for any practical reason. Holidays like Halloween, thanksgiving and St Patricks are total jokes.

I don't have anything against these people personally, but look at how they are changing the United States=

Their population in the country is skyrocketing, about 40 million currently, including some 8 million illegal immagrants.

They are choosing to remain bilingual and bicultural and refuse to join the mainstream of American culture.

They are replacing baby boomers in the workforce, and by 2025 C.E, they will surpass baby boomers in the workforce.

Of all children under 18, they are 61% in San Antonio, 53% in Los Angeles, 39% in Miami and San Diego, and 36% in Houston.

One out of 10 small businesses will be Hispanic-owned by 2007, jumping from 1.2 Million to 2 Million.

Spanish-Language TV is likely to see the largest revenue gains this year, climbing 16%.

This explosion of Immagrants is driving African-Americans into the ground.

More and more immagrants are finding ways to remain Hispanic even as they become Americans.

Many predict that a Quebec-Style Latino dominance in States such as Texas and California, do you all know what that Quebec tried to become an independent Nation a while back? Don't you think the Hispanic population while try the same thing? Do you see how much they are changing America? 50% of them don't graduate from colledge! Do you have any idea what DIRE consequences this is going to have on the United States economy? Many Latino workers are willing to work for lower wages, and this may lead to a lower minimum wage (minimum wage should have been raised with inflation and economic growth) this will lead to lower wages all around.

Personally, I don't exactly like the changes this will have on America, in fact, this will turn America into a second Mexico.

Now do you see why I feel so threatened by this?

Dude, you just pointed out the reason why this is the land of opportunity. The hispanic people are coming to this country to make a better living, they do that by working just like you or me. What you stated earlier about driving down minimum wages is completely false, the government, our government, the one that pres bush is in charge of, has made a federal minimum wage that cannot be lowered. the minimum wage payment for anyone, excluding all the businesses that don't file taxes, must pay six dollars and fifty cents an hour. this number CANNOT be lowered. so forget your argument at how evil they are for corrupting our pay wages. I have alot of Hispanic friends, every last one of them, there parents and the rest of their family included, all speak english, all celebrate american holidays, and very few of my friends speak spanish. I cannot say the same for there parents, but their not being raised to look forward to a revolution were it'll be every mexican versus america. Another thing, the spanish independence day is celebrated as an american holiday here in California as well. How i know its an american holiday is because we get off school the entire day. VIVA LA CINCO DE MAYO!!!! You dumb cunt!

True, there are Mexicans who are a part of Mainstream America, your friends are part of them. However, about 60% of Hispanic Americans speak Spanish.

You make a good argument about the minimum wage, but look at how much they are changing America culturally and politically. View some of the other points I raised.

Do you think i care! Its supposed to be rude you dumb motherfucker! As far as calling you a cunt goes, maybe your a transexual, or maybe i was calling you cunt on purpose to demonize your status as a man. Take anything how you want it man, it doesn't bother me, so be free to dish anything ya want at me, just know your getting it back ten fold you creepy little bastard!

but in all seriousness, you need to let go of your culture argument, the american culture is purely a mix of every single little spec of culturality in the world, and there is a name for it, its called Western Political Thought, this thought is comprised of Democracy, Freedom, Ethics, and Written Law. These four things stand tall above all things else and govern the way we do things here in america, Freedom is the main thing that gives every american the ability to worship and do as they please so long as they don't physically harm anyone, this Freedom is what allows you to bring up such a conversation as this, and this Freedom is what allows the Hispanic people to celebrate and speak as they please. Why don't you want them to speak spanish anyway? Are you insecure in the possibility that they couldn't be doing anything but plotting against you? in that case you should seek some serious counciling.

I just read what i wrote, and i made you sound like a dumb retard, for that i apologize, you have given me too much concrete detail to simply call you a fat henpecked wimp that can't fight his way out of a wet paper bag. So i'll argue some more with you as soon as you answer these questions, Why in the world do you think the mexicans would want to take over California and Texas?, and second, How the hell do you think the mexicans are going to take over California and Texas? When i get an answer for this i'll stop calling you names.

Why should he "stop his bitching" just for that? Using that logic the Spanish shouldn't be able to complain abotu the Madrid bombing, because they stole the land from the muslims to begin with.

Did al-Qaida e-mail you with their reason for the terrorist attacks in Spain? Cause I sure did miss their briefing where they said this was about land ownership.

I think it's more hypocritical that it's alright to EXPLOIT the Mexicans for Cheap Labout, but it's not alright to lket them into the country.

What does that have to do with it? I could have said Carthagian instead of muslim and it would have meant the same thing.

the funniest part is the way that the government bends certain amendments in directions that they want. the first amendment says that the government can't do anything concerning religion and anyone can say what they want to, but we all know what happened to that.
The second amendment says that we have the right to bear arms, but arms back then meant a rifle for hunting and defense in times of war. Later, handguns and other firearms were made and defended by the second amendment, but at the same time, people cannot posses nuclear weapons and helicopter style machine guns, even though they have equal protection in the constitution as any other arms. Politicians put limits on one form of murder, but say that another is okay because of the second amendment. Pretty fucked up.

Jesus christ, Your short sighted as hell Icewraith, think about long term. In about 500 years, IF america is still around, (thats a big if) the descendents of these immigrants appearence's will be determined by the climate of where they live.

Look, Mexican's are slightly brown. They got that way from living in the TROPICS. take the white people(like you) who live in the south (like you), speed up time a few hundred years and you get brown people!

Language!? Who give's a shit! Does it really matter how we communicate with each other? Technology is getting so advanced, that eventually the whole planet will be talking the same watered down language.

Holidays?!?!? Who give's a shit! It is'nt like are holidays mean anything anyway... Halloween, Celtic mumbo jumbo. Christmas, I dont know, I hate jesus... thanksgiving... celebrate the short time that the english kind of coexisted with the natives before the slaughter. Valentines, Marketing scheme. St.patricks day, We celebrate alcohol and the color green... The only thing good about holidays is I dont have to go to work! So hurry up and bring your goddamn cinco de mayo!

The Mexicans would want to take over California and Texas because Mexico has NO economic hope, they have a 50% unemployment rate, and the government is very corrupt in Mexico.

How would they do this? They can do it because they are coming into these states in such huge numbers, about 400,000 new immagrants a year. Secondly, relating to your point about Western ideals such as the "Mixture of many cultures." The Mexicans in their arrogance, are not willing to mix with other cultures, they are simply coming into America and taking the oppurtunity, but not embracing the American ideals such as the European immagrants did. They are therefore overtaking the TRUE Americans.

Actually, I don't hate the Hispanics (like the bastard Hitler hated the Jews and the "lesser humans") many Hispanic immagrants I admire, I admire their work ethic. I admire the Hispanics who come to America, learn English, SPEAK English, adopt the culture, and join the melting pot. But the number of immagrants doing this is shrinking. Ergo, they are not becoming Americans, but merely coming into the country for better economic success, unlike earlier immagrant groups who came to America for economic succes and also embraced the American lifestyle.

Exploitation? Blame the Corporations and the Mexican Government, the United States doesn't agree with the exploitation of Mexicans.

And we DO let them into the country, but they often travel back and forth between the U.S-Mexican border. They have a job in America, live in America, but they keep their old cultures.
