. but how can I support something that I feel is wrong and detrimental to society? Am I supposed to bow my head and accept it? I have no problem at all with regulated immigration, just illegal immigration leaves a bad taste in my mouth... they drain our system.
They get welfare, free lunch at school, wic, food stamps... and if the dream act passes, a nice american college education. Shit they can even qualify for scholarships... its fucked up. but yet when I think of my friends, I get guilty for feeling the way I do. And I know they do the jobs that most people dont want to do, but honestly if you're in a situation where that is your only option, take the damn job and don't look down on the mexicans working with you. Basically this comes down to personal responsibility in my eyes. You know how many kids I went to school with thought that they should have it easier because they were mexican and "oppressed"?[/QUOTE]
let see all the people that are high school dropouts and dont attennd college or go to the military.
i rather have a illegal that works in the fields than a lazy bump with a SSL
it all depends on the individual them self's. there is hard working immigrants that learn English. and make a better future for them self and family's. and of course we got the lazy ones its not on immigration its on self responsibility on the self.

most mexican people actually have native american ancestors. you can tell because theyre skin is dark and they have almost asian facial features. and who are you to say that mexicans expect something for nothing? there are alot of them where i live and they all seem to work pretty hard. alot of them clean horse shit and i dont see them complaining. they all have new clothes and cell phones, things that they wouldn't have back in mexico. and its not like theres no people in america who sit around on welfare all day. i would say most americans are lazier than mexicans. and the procedures for coming into america take a long time and are costly, it is faster and cheaper but very dangerous to hire a coyote [i think thats what theyre called?] if it wasnt that bad in mexico would they risk their lives and money to come here?

Theres nothing wrong with wanting illegal people out of our country. All they are is a drain on the economy. I say if your here illegally, you get sent back, no if's, ands, or buts. Im getting really tired of every job having to be bilingual. And every time I pick up a phone, "speeky spani?". Learn english damnit. They stand on the street corners where I live, 20 people deep just waiting for a truck to come by and pick up 11 of em. Theyre committing violent crimes and using up our states assistance resources, not paying taxes. I guess Obama needs his votes tho. And they will vote, regardless of citizenship, and it will count.

or it could be a requirement of the function of the job.
i'm going to go apply for a job handling customers from germany. if they don't hire me, despite my complete lack of ability to speak german, i will sue for discrimination
i hear they have books at the library that can learn you some spanish.

I would prefer to learn other languages over spanish. i do think spanish would be useful, especially in CA but i don't think i will learn it. i speak some french which is nice but not too useful in the US.
let's just drop it. i don't think you should be fluent, just know a few basics. I can say a few things in spanish even though i have absolutely no raining. i have seen some people who don't know HELLO

I have only the following to say; Basic Human Rights. would you like anyone to starve, or not have a shelter to lay their tired head, to have respect for just living. contemplate these thing prior to making harsh assumptions and crude statements.

plenty of people don't have those things. go to any major city and look around. american citizens begging for money and living on piss covered street corners, eating out of the trash. that's typical here, i don't know where you live that you think there is a standard of basic human rights that should be met or exceedded.
ever seen the constitution?i missed the memo that america had english as the official language
