Message Subject CHUCK SCHUMER PREDICTS MASS CIVIL UNREST IF HOUSE KILLS AMNESTY BILL.....
Poster Handle Anonymous Coward
Post Content
My Grandfather and his wife moved here in the 20's from Mexico. They followed all the custom laws and with much work became citizens of this great country.

They had five children, one of which was my father. He was a kick ass salesman and did well only because of what his father taught him. I learned much from him.

I am his son, self employed and reaping the benefits that my Grandfather through his decision to come here, thankfully brought to my life.

My Grandfather brought to me...America and a chance to be even better than himself. I am proud of my heritage, I am Hispanic!

The difference between me and them is I paid into the system, I have worked here all my life and I want an equal opportunity with the legal citizens in fair competition. It's out the door now with this bill.

To hell with our supposed protectors in congress. They have all been bought and paid for long ago.

Big change needs to happen! Not with them, but from us!!!

Well, that is a great story and no one faults someone like you who comes here legally and helps build the nation. I doubt if there were any ESL classes either :D. It was the same for Germans, Scandinavians....anyone else who came here from somewhere else. They learned the language and how to do things here.

I worked on a lot of jobsites with Mexicans who were painting, drywalling, framing, etc. Not a one wanted to be legal or stay in the US long term. That's what the politicians don't get. Most of the guys I talked to (yes, I can speak Spanish well enough) were saving money so they could move back to Mexico and build a big house there. They had no interest in becoming permanent residents, or citizens. My guess is most of them are laughing at how out of touch the politicians in this country are. Anyway, that is my guess for why most of these guys don't assimilate. They have no intention of staying forever.
