I'm not one to jump into political threads, or even ones with *touchy* topics. But I am so angry by what's going on in my neighborhood that I have to say something.

I live in California... Southern California to be exact. Our state is going to sh*t. If I discuss this openly, I run the risk of being called a "racist". Funny thing is, my sister-in-law is from Mexico. She came here legally and has followed all "the rules". She works legally, and she's ticked off too.

I am not a racist. I do not hate mexicans.

I just don't find it at all fair, that rules apply one place and not another. If we're going to make it ok for every illegal to stay here in California, work, get driver's licenses, etc. then I should be able to do the same in any other country. YES, I'm going to ask that we abolish visas and immigration laws completely! Why have rules? I should be able to go to Canada next weekend to join my husband. Demand a job without a permit, and get a driver's license. I also want them to take care of me, give me free medical, and fun stuff like that.

I have no objection to people wanting a better life. But rules are not rules if they don't apply to everyone. California is supposed to accept every illegal alien from Mexico with open arms, yet Mexico themselves deport Guatamalens all day. (Actually, the US pays for their deportation; we figure it'll save us money because most of them are just using Mexico as their expressway to get to the US). If we deport, we're racists... so why don't they accept the Guatamalens based on that theory with open arms too?

We have a country that was attacked in 2001. We have Al Queda's living in Mexico, learning the language, blending in - because they know how damn ez it is to come here.

We have banks in So. Cal handing out mexican flag souveniers to get new customers, allowing Matricula Consular cards as formal ID to open accounts. No SS# needed.

My best friend is a science teacher in the LA school district. He loves to teach. His kids love him too. His students walked out Friday, didn't come in Monday, were locked in on Tuesday (only half there). Why? Most of the kids interviewed DIDN'T KNOW WHY they were protesting. The saw it on myspace, it prolly sounded like a fun day off from school. Anyone want to take a guess at how much it cost the State to pay all the teachers for those days?

Again, rules for one group of people, but not for another. I'm sick of it. Go ahead and tell me how much i suck. I don't care.

I agree with ya. Most of what you described is pretty f'd up. I'm a hs teacher and here the kids walked out yesterday. They, too, didn't know what they were protesting when I asked. Not ONE of the kids I talked to could tell me and I talked to many many many Monday and yesterday morning. Also, they decided to take their "protest" in front of the city hall. #######? :huh:

Speaking of not knowing what they are protesting- You've probably heard about the hight school where someone took down the American Flag and replaced it with a Mexican Flag with the American Flag place under it but upside down. If this is the same people protesting FOR immigration rights, they are making the other sides point.

A flag upside down means the US is in distress, and by putting the Mexican flag above it, it says that the US is in distress because Mexico is taking it over, right? That's kind of the point of immigration reform. Maybe it was actually a group of conservative high school students who wanted to make that point but nobody got it.

We have a country that was attacked in 2001. We have Al Queda's living in Mexico, learning the language, blending in - because they know how damn ez it is to come here.

:lol::lol::lol:

South Californian, do you read the Enquirer at the grocery store? You're touting some really crazy stuff. But thanks for the laugh, that was the best joke of the day. Ignorance is very funny at times. I can tell you that Palestinian training camps outside of Cancun is truly poquito loco moto en la cabeza or whatever.

But maybe you're right: anything faintly brown skinned has to be either illegal or Islamic, or both perhaps? :wacko: I'm sure Mexican President Vicente Fox knows precisely where Osama Bin Laden is brushing his teeth at this precise moment. Perhaps he can give you his street address? :lol:

It is amazing how Bush has turned some Americans into believing there is an enemy at every corner waiting to slaughter them. It's also incredible how blindly some people will follow the politicians propaganda. Oh man.

Sometimes I think I know everything, and I regain consciousness. Seen it all, done it all, forgot most of it....

So much plenitude, yet so much emptiness

some of those kids don't know the real reason, or don't understand and yes they are just kids and most of them are USCs. People that were protesting at least here where I'm from were undocumented immigrants, immigrants with visas, USCs, clergy, attorneys, doctors, business owners. There was immigrants from different countries, yes true, mostly hispanics, but not all. I mean even my man, Antonio Banderas knows what's up. Some people just dont get it. Until you walk in that person's shoes you don't know.

Yes they broke white man's law by coming here, but they haven't broken God's law.

Is WorldNetDaily associated with the National Enquirer?

Through Cancun

"Concern about el-Shukrijumah's extended stay in Mexico was heightened in November 2004 with the arrest in Pakistan of Sharif al-Masri, a key al-Qaida operative. Al Masri, an Egyptian national jihadi with close ties to al-Zawahiri, bin Laden's No. 2 man, informed interrogators that al-Qaida had made arrangements to smuggle nuclear supplies and tactical nuclear weapons into Mexico. From Mexico, the weapons were to be transported across the border with the help of a Latino street gang. The gang was later identified as Mara Salvatrucha, and the plans had been finalized at the terrorist summit in Waziristan.

Wow, who knew there would be a story that would give you exactly what you were asking for?
