lou reed called it "the statue of bigotry"

this is for all the crazys who want to argue how the dirty Mexicans should go back home and stop taking our jobs. it is a shame that people are saying stuff like "we just want to help the poor spanish people . we should make laws to protect them". as of now it looks like the american people are going to let the corporate man decide who can be Used and who can be banished. its not much different then saying "I dont know what to do with them illegal aliens (wetbacks)". Is that ok with you? First they kick people out and soon they will lock people in. the movement in the US is towards fascism. laugh ..... what makes this piece so hilarious is there is no real debat. the complacent ones are subconsciously right wingers.

Ummm.... okaaaay. You do realize this is from The Onion, right? I thought the vid was funny, but your summary is a little... strange. Are you taking any medications?

choggiesays...

Yeah, and right and left are constructs as well-
All for bringing Mexico to the U.S. in, exempt from law amnesty-a brilliant move, inspired by those who would use it to their advantage-

Plus, reaaaaly like the idea of bringing a massive group of folks from a corrupt, state-controlled country, whose leaders carry-on in a retrograde fashion, and about 100 or more years behind in sensibilities-Their peoples for the most part, unwilling to assimilate and become, American-whatever it is one thinks that means-
A silent attack most Americans are unwilling to cop to-even the legally naturalized Mexicans, now Americans-


they are not tired and poor or huddled.....they are our neighbors to the south, who need a government worth embracing, instead of a Country to walk to, and Mexicanize.....Oh, wait, we need a government worth embracing too...might think about going to Mexico, but need the ability to own land once there...oh, forgot, the state does not allow that....Viva la Raza, motherfuckers.....

Oh yeah, living in the Hamptons can fuck someone up, just as bad as a bottle of Dewars.

Traconsays...

Hmm, why not realise that they are economic refugee's and stop subsidising your farming and continual not living up to NAFTA. And if you can't do that stop calling your self capitalist's and more of a protectionist racket of isolationist lobbyists.

bigheadsays...

mr. happy point well taken. the reason i picked this video was that it was funny. a good way to soften up the enthusiasm. key words
fascism = an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization. another key word scapegoat=

a person who is blamed for the wrongdoings, mistakes, or faults of others, esp. for reasons of expediency.

the man="The Man" does not usually refer to a specific individual as such, but instead to unsatisfactory governments, leaders of large corporations, bad cops and corrupt authority figures. i agree the advertisement is a thumbs down.

Anybody who has a "deport them" position needs to cop to the fact that "being hard" on migrants is not about keeping them out, it's about forcing them to work for less, and under worse conditions.

Nobody who expects to eat can afford to kick im/migrants out of the US.

Any citizen want to work for $5 a day?.. What no takers? Okay..Who wants to pay 5 times as much for food?...Strange, nobody seems to want that either.

Some people from south of the boarder come here to live permanently, but most do not, they are supporting families in their home country. We benefit substantially from the exchange rate every time we go to the supermarket.

Since nobody here is boycotting non-us goods (got a computer?) it seems that nobody really thinks that paying people shit and taking advantage of the exchange rate is fundamentally evil. So what's the deal with the "immigration" issue? Just don't like to SEE the brown people that you oppress? Don't want to accept the fact that our society fails to display basic human decency, even on it's own soil, while you simultaneously reap the benefit?

Im/migrants will not stop, any laws to "dissuade" them will simply be used as tools to oppress them, at times even going as far as enslavement (that's not rhetoric, google "Florida tomato slavery").

choggie:

These immigrants assimilate just as well as our ancestors did. My great-grandparents spoke German till the day they died. Most immigrants speak primarily their mother tongue, and act according to their childhood cultural norms, that's what humans do. Racism in the US has always used this argument. "They won't assimilate" was used against the Irish and Germans, before it was decided that they are "white", it's simply revisionist history, and has no resemblance to reality.
