Oh and about leaving Mexico to the Mexicans, Texas was part of Mexico, and Mexicans fought, bled and died for the independence we all enjoy here in Texas. Go to the Alamo and see all the "Mexican" names inscribed on the walls and monuments there. Mexicans have always been a part of American history and always will be. You complain about illegals taking your jobs, well at lunch I offered a white street peddler with two good arms and two good legs a job and his response was I quote " I'm cool, the Mexicans that work are on Vickery st.. I just need money for a fix." And also next time your buying a house or need your roof repaired demand that your contractor only hire white guys or non illegals and lets see what the cost difference will be and if it even gets done!

"My family was exiled from Canada." So Acadians were French colonist in Canada who immigrated mostly to Louisiana. Ok but who gave them amnesty and why? And what makes their situation any different. they just crossed a different border illegally. Originally Posted by xavierz21We didn't immigrate to Louisiana. We were exiled and dumped there. This was prior to the Louisiana purchase so French were being exiled to a French country.
My family was exiled from Canada. We were put on slave ships and dropped off in the swamps of Louisiana. About a third of those French Canadians died during the voyage and many more didn't survive the swamp. That took place in 1755 before the Declaration of Independence was signed.So the Accadians had visas?
There is a difference between illegals and immigrants. Originally Posted by OldLRRP

Currently, she is NED (no evidence of disease). She has won the battles but the war isn't over. It is a miracle she is where she is. Because it runs in my family she had mammograms every 6 months. This is something that Obamacare won't provide for. They recommend that it begin at 40. She went to MD Anderson with some of the finest cancer doctors in the world. Try to see them under ObamaCare.
And I and members of my family have received health care under the French, British, and Italian health care systems. All three provided excellent care for routine illnesses and great preventative care. They do well, but not quite as good as the US, on huge illness issues like cancer. But the effect of the former is so much greater on quality of life than the latter for so many people, if I had to choose one, that's what I would choose. And we see that in that their life expectancies are higher, as is infant mortality in their systems. Originally Posted by TexTushHog

I have family members illegal aliens at one time, come to this country, join the military and become American citizens and now look down on illegal immigrants that came here for better opportunities. What pieces of garbage thinking they are better than another human being.
All this whining about politics in a hooker forum is not going to change a thing, election day will be here before you know it, that's where you can make a difference. Originally Posted by biglatinmale

Most big businesses have begun opening retail chain stores all over Mexico without any problems. America has always been made stronger by its immigrant populace which help it to continuously grow. As the Chinese were exploited to build the railroads and the Black slaves to pick crops, the new immigrants build the roads and houses you live in.

That would be awesome. We could have a system like the VA. I was in and out of one of those for months after returning from Vietnam. Just look at how well that single payer system has taken care of our veterans. They are literally dying to see a doctor. How many VA administrators have been indicted? Seen any arrests? You haven't and you won't.
My best friend, in life, died with cancer before he was 40. He tested positive for dioxin from exposure to agent orange. They don't know what vital organ failed first because his entire body was riddled with cancer. The VA took no responsibility for it and his family got nothing.
As far as the illegal aliens, make it a felony to hire one and enforce our laws. Originally Posted by OldLRRP

You blame the loss of jobs on the immigrants, but you don't mind driving on the roads they built or living in your homes that where built by immigrant hands. Show me a job that a white man or black man has lost to an immigrant. I never see any immigrants on the street begging for a dollar but I sure do see whites and blacks! On the unemployment line Whites and Blacks! I have my own business and see all these unemployed people come by and ask for a business card so they can prove they are looking for jobs, but ask me if they really want to work? Hell no! because they are content with their lives. Immigrants are not content on living off the government, so called Americans are! If you go to a car dealership and watch who a salesman will run to, its a hispanic immigrant before any other, why because they pay their debts. You want to blame someone blame yourselves and stop complaining about the middle class loosing jobs. Those jobs were the ones no one else wanted!
