Reply #115: no irish immigrant was talking of making parts of usa into irish counties [View All]

[pitohui]

many mexican immigrants are openly talking of making usa states -- and large ones that you are going to miss -- part of mexico

those who refuse to secure their borders lose their borders

ask my cherokee ancestors how the open and welcoming policy toward immigrants worked out for them

people who don't think their heritage worth protecting soon don't have so much to protect

seems like you don't know what you got till it's gone

sorry, when you have activist peoples whose eventual plan is annexation of large and valuable territories, you have a duty to secure your borders and be sure of who you are allowing to take up residence in your territory

you don't have to be soft-minded just because you're soft-hearted

i mean, i hate to inject a note of practical self-interest into the fuzzy-minded love fest but this sort of nonsense is exactly what the wingnuts can use to make us look ridiculous because you know what? it IS ridiculous, crying racism to get your way doesn't make you look attractive and it cheapens your argument so that when you have a real issue of racism you won't be heard

every day, EVERY DAY, i have to hear crap abt how "blacks won't work" and this is why mexicans must be hired from people who want to justify hiring under the table, THAT my friend is the real racism, THAT my friend is what has not changed

you may presume "americans" (by which in practice is often meant blacks) don't want to work, but they are not even being given the chance

i am seeing it every damn day and i'm getting a little sick of
