how should the US treat illegals

[candle86]

Mexico has a much larger military, and it can obtain an even larger one.

ok your point is what? We have Lockheed, Boeing, Bell. So yes there are three major militray plants in Texas alone and im sure there is more. We have 3 major bases and sevral minor ones also. We also have a volunteer militia which is state funded and equiped. So Mexico can attack with a Mig-21 and the AK-47 we will use better stuff, we dont mind.

actully no we didnt, umm, tahts the odd part about this whole thing if you really want to know. Texas signed a peace treaty more or less ang agreed to come back, the Union couldnt actully get into texas, they kept tring but we kept sending them back out, in truth texas never surrendered after the south fell we just lost interest and just said why not go back. Thats why we had the shortest period of reformation of any of the southern states.

So now the Union couldn't beat Texas?

 

[candle86]

They joined the Confederacy and then they rejoined the power that defeated the Confederacy. That is surrender in my book.

well your not a real Texan then, you sound like a damn yankee, then agian your from dallas and your heart is not of Texas anyway, so ill ignore your viewpoint.

 

[JollyRoger]

Texas let the Confederacy down then, since they obviously didn't contribute what they could have to ensure victory.

 

[candle86]

actully no, check out the maps on this one, you will find that when every other Confederate state was overrun our boarder where 100% intact.

I'm starting to think you're just a really bad joke gone horribly, horribly wrong.

Maybe you should figure out what weapons they use first.

The Union never had a need to invade Texas. They cut it off.

Many Mexicans are descendants of those tribal people. What is your excuse?

It is relevant, because you complained of having a Hispanic majority.

No I didn't. I complained about having a potential future Hispanic majority that refuses to speak English and assimilate into American culture, just like the current Hispanic minority is today.

Their children speak English. They learn English is school.

The US should stop being so arrogant about language, anyway.

Some of them might be learning English, but they aren't speaking it and they aren't becoming apart of American culture.

"American" culture is a mixture of cultures, so how isn't it "American?"

People said the same thing about the Irish, the Italians, and the Chinese.

I agree. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' grandfather was an illegal, so Alberto is 3rd generation and I still can't make sense of anything he says.

You keep telling yourself that. The reason people were angry at the Irish, Italians, and Chinese were for the same reasons. They huddled up in their own corners of the cities and didn't assimilate. Those that did, had few problems. Of course, now the Chinese are popular for making good food, so our expectations for them to assimilate are much less. I suppose that if millions of Chinese were entering the country illegally every year that it may be a different story, but...

But eventually they did assimilate, as are many Mexicans.

wrong, in Texas they are soon to make it a bi lingual state meaning ill have to learn spanish, and so will all future generations because these Mexicans wont speak english, so we have to change for them. Its hypocritical that we have to change for them, they live here, they should change.

On a side note i was thinking, every leagal imigrant who becomes a us citizen should have to serve a minimum of 2 years in Public service of some kind.

 

[JohnRM]

Find another 34,999,999 ancestors of illegal immigrants that have assimilated and I will concede.

Free market capitalism as its finest. Those that do the most to accomadate what the market requires reap the rewards.

is that what happened at San Antonio last year, they where assimilating, i thought they where burning American flags, rasing Mexican flags, and beating up anyone who said America was better than Mexico. Is that in San Antonio schools you cant wear patriotic colors for fear of upsetting the Mexican population or why, its now optional to say the pledge there. Yes they are gonna fit right in like that.

no they are breaking our laws, and working for less than the federal law allows, they are hurting Americans.

And here I thought us Texans were tough. Afraid of a handful of schoolkids.
