That is just not true. I get y’all are against illegal immigration, so am I, but going after the Spanish culture is not the road to go on for this issue. What is the American culture? Do we preach to our white and black American born kids to follow the American culture?

Are regulations being waived for them?

They seem to be able to get started with ease.

Permits?

Health department certs?

Building inspection?

Zoning?

Do they ignore all laws or do they get a pass from enforcement?

I worked at a used car right after covid and they literally would get pissed if an American or Illegal with a green card came on the lot. Said it was a waste of time.

They only wanted to sell to illegals, because they would put HUGE downpayments down ($10-$20k) and they had American companies that only financed illegals because they could charge them a massive interest rate that would be illegal to charge Americans.

There were Mexican insurance companies that would only write policies on illegals, so they could be street legal. Yet the entire time bitch about the Border, illegals, need for a wall etc.but make all their money off illegals...

Once I noticed what was actually going on, I see these kind of businesses all over. I guess I just didn't realize it before.


I think there is a lot more of that, than we realize.

Ok, then explain how this scenario benefits a local economy:

Large warehousing plant like Amazonhires a bunch of foreigners and illegals to get paid with low wages...

Immigrants are provided housing and food stamps, and also take advantage of free health care and education services...

Money immigrants do make goes back to foreign countries, not to local businesses

So local citizens are priced out of employmeny options... and then also have to subsidize the same people who have priced them out of work by paying for their EBT, housing vouchers, schools, etc., and then do not even get the money they earned recirculated back in the local economy.

How is this a good system for the native citizens? Who does this benefit?

This is really getting old. And there is a negative effect of sending earnings out of the country as opposed to spending them here.

When LSU played at Lambeau Field we stayed in Appleton. The first night we get there, I wanted a bottle of bourbon so we stopped in this little neighborhood grocery store. It was a Mexican grocery store with not one person speaking English. No bourbon either. Thought I was back in Houston.

Hey, yea... I remember that game starting in the 80's... East LA is awesome. Try visiting almost any establishment and getting an english menu. Out west, the origin of the 'English is our Language movement'.

Then there are shell casings laying ALL OVER THE GROUND, because hispanics think bullets disintegrate when being fired straight up. Never had to look more than a few seconds to find one.

Then why do the areas they settle look and feel more like the country they left? Displaying flags of their former country etc? Not leaning the predominant language of the land? They are locusts and shouldn’t be here.

The USA should have made English the national language years ago.

They go into crappy areas they can afford and start businesses. Why is that a problem?

And I know Western Union, for one, used to do the transfers of money to Mexico for free, while charging a fortune for transfers everywhere else! Non-English speaking men would come in weekly to send money back home.

Sounds like an American created issue then. American born people are spoiled and think they should have a better job, therefore they don’t work, therefore these big companies have to get some kind of labor, to keep everything rolling here in the states. If you cut out labor and don’t have labor, then the economy collapses.

Amazon doesn’t hire illegals btw. Amazon hires immigrants and people who are authorized to work in the US. Amazon may assist them in gaining citizenship, or in other avenues, but it’s all out of Amazons own pockets, and as someone who believes in the private sector, Amazon can use their money however they see fit.

quote:

Immigrant is a very vague word. We have legal immigrants and illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants are not offered these things. I don’t understand what’s wrong with legal immigrants being provided these things, especially since they’re doing the right and necessary steps to become citizens. We offer these same things to citizens so why not to people who are trying to do the right things?

quote:

Money immigrants do make goes back to foreign countries, not to local businesses


All of it? These people make money and don’t spend it in the states? They send it all back to their families? Lots of this money is going back to their families, to give them a safer and a legal route to get to the states. And this has always been a thing for people who immigrated to the states. This isn’t specific to just Spanish people either. European, Asian, Middle Eastern, African, all the immigrants send money back to their homes. Many older people who have lived in whatever country their entire lives, don’t want to leave their homes. It’s called supporting and loving your family, which is a huge and very important part of the Spanish culture btw. Sounds a lot like many of us over here. We want to support and provide for our families.

Local citizens priced themselves out of the market, by being spoiled and lazy fricks. We also have to subsidize these same American born people, like Quanisha, Dequan, and meth headed Billy and Lauren. The money is absolutely recirculated back into the local economy, in some sort of way. Drug dealers keep the economy rolling. You’re a fool to think they’re not contributing to the economy in some sort of way.

Because it’s how the economy works. It benefits everyone. I’m with you, I’m against illegal immigration, but you seem to be taking your frustration out on the Spanish culture as a whole, and aren’t doing a good job of differentiating between legal and illegal immigrants. Most of our issues, we created ourselves, so I don’t understand why we have to attack the Spanish culture and their people. We have just as many frick ups in our own cultures and within our own people, and it’s even worse because we were all born here, and were born with the opportunity to have a successful life. So really there are no excuses from us.

I’ve lived overseas for several years. Was always happy to see US flags or other welcoming sign. It let me know I was likely to find something I related to there. Never heard anyone complain about me invading.

You people are becoming exactly what the left has claimed. I always thought it was an idiotic trope. Not now.

You can hate the policy and people that are not securing the border, but you just seem like you hate the people who come across.

I DO dislike the people who come across. They're not OUR people. I don't care what the left says about me. Stop being an apologist for an invading group of people who are destroying our country and don't give a damn about America

Why are the areas we’ve owned since the beginning, look like third world countries, and are full of violent crime? And these areas have been owned by American born people.

I knew a family who immigrated here from East Germany. They displayed a German flag outside their house and no one ever had an issue with it. They take pride in their country and people just like we do. They loved their homeland, they just knew they had more of a chance to succeed here than they did over there. As a matter of fact, they have way more pride in their countries than we do. We cry and complain when someone we don’t like is in office, and talk about how terrible our country is. We’re so spoiled and just don’t even know it. We could learn a lot about national pride from immigrants actually. One of the issues with our country, is our own American born people take no pride in our own country.

Yes. Because they should be treated just like us Cajun French people were back in the day. Forced to learn the English language, can’t speak French, if you do you’re an outcast and we’ll make fun of you and beat you up. And the end result is losing that Cajun French culture, that so many people in South LA now realize is a complete travesty. A lost culture. Maybe they don’t want to lose that part that makes them who they are. So they’re locusts because of all of these things?

Sometimes I wonder if that’s part of the intention of the open border people. Because it IS hard to feel positive towards people who are taking advantage of our resources for free while we work out asses off to put food on the table for our family.
