Embracing Illegals

[Marilyn. 340]

if memory serves me correctly her hubby had to go back home and they had to file a waiver etc.. before he was allowed back into the US...

[Bootylicious!! 2]

to your edit: yes i feel there is a very good chance that there are illegal workers in a place of business when noone speaks...not prefer not to speak but can't speak english. whats wrong w/ that?

But again, how do you know if they can or can't speak english... you don't go to the back and actually converse with the kitchen staff, do you.. that's why everyone was getting so mad..

you don't know..

and like Bootylicious said.. her husband who is a legal resident doesn't speak english if he's surrounded by spanish speakers... he's more comfortable with the language too ..

therefore, he can, he just chooses not to speak english.. and you wouldn't know that by just walking by him.

Here's the elephant in the room that everyone is ignoring. If memory serves, Bootylicious's husband used to be an illegal immigrant and only got to legalize by marrying Bootylicious. So....smoke20 isn't THAT far off.

Ok, ######! Don't even insinuate that my husband married me for his greencard! I've just about had enough of you and your assinine posts! Report me, ignore me, do whatever you want but DO NOT, under any circumstances, insinuate my husband only married me for his GC. At least he loved me enough to come back to the US for me! Nothing his mama said could have changed his mind.

In a free market, anyone can be a customer. Not just Americans.

I think you do no understand what the free market means. It does not literally mean free for all and is not to be applied in every situation.

You're exactly right Marilyn. It's not like our "journey" was so easy. We're lucky he got to come back at all. Let's not mention he was only 16 when he came here with his father, who told him he had no other choice. Some people are just beyond my comprehension. They really are. I'm so glad everyone knows my story so well they think they can put things out there for me. Hell, come ask me yourself. I'll be glad to tell you all the ###### we went through to get him back here legally.

Uh, the "only got to legalize by marrying Bootylicious" pretty much spells it out. Don't start with me today. You ain't even seen chippy! Of course, I never expected you to get it anyway after your statement yesterday so it doesn't surprise me that I had to spell it out for you.

Purposly hurting someone by using their husbands status is just wrong. I think it was a blow to booty and it shouldnt have been brought up at all. HA just coming on to cause probs again or do you have a real valid point to make?

The insults show immaturaty, and before that comment about booty's husband was brought up, i was reading an adult conversation, now its gone back to preschool

That's ok, last time I checked I was 29, not 2. I don't have time for your childishness. But, do realize now why you aren't getting it, so carry on.

I would hate to be a teen ... or early 20 something trying to make money for college or trying to get ahead while competing against illegals. Given todays market ... I would have had a very hard time paying for college as a USC. My parents couldn't afford ... it was all me. Yes , I did jobs that today ... illegals would have prevented me from having.

What chance do others that are like me, have today?

My thought ... send these illegals home and let the "enabled .. enlightened children" learn what it takes to survive.

When I was a kid I earned my money picking apples, de-tasseling corn and putting up hay. In the winter I worked in a restaurant flipping hamburgers. If Dan had his way I wouldn't have had that opportunity, some illegal would be doing it. Thanks man, your such a pal.

ditto. when i was 14-16, i was mowing yards, shoveling dirt, all manual labor stuff. nowadays i'd not been able to make any money either.

well, y'all are more than welcome to send your kids to Tulsa, where there are lots of lawns to mow, and restaurants full of "help Wanted" signs!

Ok guys - please stop the fighting before you all get sent to your rooms!

For those who are making snap decisions on formerly illegal, and now legal (insinuating fraud for gc) this does nothing for the VJ community as a whole. Please cease making these insinuations.

Thanks.

Here, let's see what happens when I call her a heartless ######.

(Counting down to my banning)

Post away H_A, we don't have feelings or anything.
