rammolo Posted May 1, 2006 CID Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hi Folks, What happens or what will not happen if people spend or do not spend any money tomorrow?? Is there any movement going on?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc11890 Posted May 1, 2006 CID Share Posted May 1, 2006 Okay here is how i feel, all at one time we were immigrants right? we applied to become citizens and now we pay our taxes. Im also a 3rd gen hispanic but my grandparents moved from Puerto Rico so i guess they were not really "immigrants". I DO NOT think it is rite for illegal immigrants to come here and not bother to become citizens. they should go through the same process as all the other immigrants in the past generations.

gotmilk Posted May 1, 2006 CID Share Posted May 1, 2006 I don't have a problem with immigrants, I have a problem with illegal immigrants that don't want to abide by our laws. I'm even more frustrated about the immigrants and the whole "Spanish language" movement. Just because you're too lazy to learn English doesn't mean we should change our national language to Spanish. What a group of Americans went to live in Mexico and started trying to change the national language to English? What if a bunch of Russians moved here and tried to convert our language to Russian? I DO NOT think it is rite for illegal immigrants to come here and not bother to become citizens. they should go through the same process as all the other immigrants in the past generations. My feelings exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are u nieve we have tried to convert just about every country to try to teach english as a MAIN LANGUGE instead of their own It is actually a law that if you are doing buissness in a foreing contry and theres one JUST ONe american who cant understand the native languge everyone no matter how many speak the native languge have to talk in english Now thats a load of shit like it says at the bottom as my signature I think we risk becoming the best informed society that has ever died of ignorance. ~Reuben Blades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark06 why should American's living on the border have to put up with people (that do not belong here legally) trampling through their yard at all hours of the night. Wondering whether or not they will be able to sleep in peace. Or whether someone is going to steal, rape, trash, murder, etc.. their property on passing through. I bet you would feel different if it was your back yard. You live at home and have it fairly easy, so this does not bother you personnaly. All we are saying is that they need to do it legally, and the right way. The American Way. And if they or you do not like it, TOUGH!!

cholla Posted May 2, 2006 CID Share Posted May 2, 2006 I bought what i wanted to today & wish I needed more.We forgot to add to the Statue of Liberty that's only till were full.Now we need a No Vacancy sign. I bet the Native Americans wish they had a zero immigrant policy wheen Columnbus landed. Maybe the natives they took the country from would wish the same if they were still around. The early immigrants fully intended to become Americans & leave their old country behind.The ones now want to bring their old country with them.Even when it was so bad they left.Figure that out.

tommie gorman Posted May 2, 2006 CID Share Posted May 2, 2006 Yeah, i went to Home Depot(crowded like it was a Saturday, must not have been the only one with that idea) and bought a weeks worth of supplies. And then over to Walmart for a bunch of paint. And then to top it off, I took the help out to lunch at Denny's where the manager was doing duty as a cook. By the way there was a "Now Hiring Sign" in the window. I guess his 3 imigrants cooks took a vacation. A much longer than expected vacation. :laughing7: Acording to the waitress. And my helper went and got 4 new tires. For some reason it did not hit the 6:00 news. Hmmm. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc11890 Posted May 2, 2006 CID Share Posted May 2, 2006 I went to Home Depot and it looked like any other normal day, there was even a good amount of hispanics in the store buying supplies like it was any other day but however there were 8000+ hispanics that were protesting down the road from me. Kind of odd. They did however make the 6:00 news. I guess most hispanics are against the bill to strengthen borders but my mom, who is Puerto Rican Belives that immigrants should become citizens like evryone else, legally, but i guess she would not have had to worry about that any way because Puerto rico is a commenwealth.

tommie gorman Posted May 2, 2006 CID Share Posted May 2, 2006 Maybe a dumb question, but can't puertican's become citizen's. I always wondered about that territory thing. Seems to me that we should have 51 states. I wonder how long you have to be a territory, to be a state? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Would have all of them speak their native language & not cater one bit to Americans visiting their country.This might make Americans stay here & tour here.& I almost for got spend there money here. I would like to see a list of foreign countries with the can't speak the native language if one American that can't is present.& the specific law.Does the same hold true for tourists from England?Or is it onlr Americans?
