I happen to live in a town 20 miles southwest of Washington DC called Manassas Park which has been completely and totally overrun by illegals. I don't even recognize my town any more. Within 4 years most of the citizenry moved away and was replaced by Hispanics, many of whom are illegal. They hang out at 7-11's cat-calling girls, urinating on the walls. They live 10-15 to a house. Once quaint neighborhoods have been ransacked with monstrous additions to the home to act as hotels for day laborers. Propped open screen doors and baby carriages in front of the house advertising rooms for rent. Trash blowing all over the place. Shops and restaurants displaying Spanish signs and foreign flags, etc, etc, etc.

The previous posters who innocently say, "they just want to work" obviously don't have to be subjected to the dirty little secret of where these people choose to hang their hats after they mow your grass and cook your food for you. I unfortunately do and I am qualified to talk about it. Anyone who thinks these people are just poor, innocent people looking for work are either benefiting from their labor or don't have to live in a town that has been ransacked by them. My house has lost about 80k in equity since they took over my town. Nobody wants to live here any more. At least nobody legal or with any means. This issue is ready to blow in my county of Prince William. They are enacting laws and people are very angry about the government's failure. They are bleeding our county dry, are a blight, are decreasing the value of our homes and have basically worn out their welcome. For all of you who think this is a racist issue or that we should just leave these people alone and let them work, I would say I hope they all decide to pack up and move to your town. Somehow I think you'll be singing a different tune then. Out of sight out of mind I suppose. I pray that they move to your town. I really do.

That is a very old video... I've seen it a long time ago. I failed to see the humor in this video, this time, just the same as in the past. I don't find the illegal immigration problem of the United States one bit humorous.

Making a game/sport out of illegal immigration, is disgusting.


[rant]

I am not against emigration except in one way... do it legally.

There are laws in order set to regulate the flow of emigrants into the US. Albeit hard work is in order to achieve the goal of becoming a citizen of this nation, but that doesn't mean you allow laws to be broken due to lack of financial ability.

That would be the same as allowing someone to walk into a store, take what they wanted without paying (theft), and allowing them to leave without any repercussions. That would be tolerating lawlessness... and that is not what this nation was built on.

If, in order to be part of this society, I'm expected to follow the laws of the land... I expect no less from someone wanting to come live in my country, reaping the benefits of being a free man, all the while, working hard to achieve the goals that each of us have set for ourselves. If that means showing inability to be a lawful part of this society the first time you/they/he/she sets foot onto our soil, you're booted back out... then so damn be it.

It's not about taking my job. If you're more qualified, then by all means. It's not about getting benefits from the Government, all legal citizens that pay taxes in are entitled to such.

It's about breaking the law... the law that formed this nation. If you've got no means within yourself to abide by the fabric of this nation's foundation.. then you've got no reason to be here.

I found the video to be amusing. An earlier poster made reference to the fact these people are breaking the law. Would anyone have been outraged if he would have convinced several burglars to hop in and he took them to the police station? Or maybe a few drug dealers? Thers's a reason why they ran when they realized where they were. He didn't take them to INS because they were Mexican, he took them there because they are here illegally. That's not racist.

Some people say, "They are just here to work." This is true to an extent. They are also here to get whatever they can. I have been a bill collector for 8 years. I handle past due accounts for credit cards. The rise in people who claim to speak no English has been tremendous. When I call people in Florida, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California, I expect a "No English" response. Over the last couple years, it has become much more spread out. I live in Ohio. I can't remember the last time I saw a landscaping crew that wasn't all "South of American." If all these people are here legally, then we have had a huge insurgence of legal immigrants over the past couple years. If someone is here legally, then I want them to work. If they are not here legally, then they shouldn't be here. It's disrepectful to all of our families who formed this nation with their blood, sweat & tears to suck of the economy and claim "No English" when it's time to pay your share.

I agree with Escrotumus. If you have to deal with these issues everyday, I think you get a different perspective.

Ive seen this before, say what you will idc but it was HILARIOUS . I havent seen these in a long time but he used to have a lot of videos on liveleak, when it was named something else, he did several of these videos, maybe what he said was scripted out beforehand but the things he did/does is very real.
Let me see, he does the Border Patrols jobs but better because he actually delivers them to INS and this is considered Racist lol..
Dont even bother with talking about his slurs because I'm sure that If he hadnt said a single word and just drove up to the INS, some of you would still say its racist..

I dont care if they just want to work, that isnt my problem, they need to stay in their OWN Country and FIX its problems instead of coming to mine and screwing it up.
My problem is that they are here illegally, they take up resources in MY city, which could be used for other purposes..
They get free food, free healthcare and in some cases free money, in the form of a card charged up once a month. Hell I gotta have shoulder surgery next week and Im paying out of my own pocket, yea the healthcare system is screwed up but only if your a white middle-class American Citizen!

Mexico is such a disgusting and corrupt state. The last time I went to Nuevo Laredo was about 5 yrs ago. I went there to spend some of my hard earned US dollars buying Mexican blankets and other similar items. I stopped in a bar to cool down with a cold margarita, I paid the waitress, plus tip, and laid my money on the table.. Some of you are gonna say, wow that was stupid, you were probably robbed and I was but not by bandits.
4 Mexican Federalis came through the door, slammed their hand down on my money, when I went to grab it away from them, i caught a rifle butt in the forehead.
They then handcuffed me so tight that blood was pouring down my hands, they left them on so long it caused nerve damage in my left wrist.
On the way to their little dirt hole they called my cell, two walked in front of me, two in back. One in back would hit me between the shoulder blades with the rifle, the other in the back of my neck. The guys in front would put a butt in my chest and one in my stomach.. What was my crime? spending money in their country?
I spent a full night there, the next morning as they were about to transport me to a federal jail, out of Laredo, I asked what it would cost me to allow me to go on my way home..
They originally wanted 800 bucks, 200 each, they would even drive me to the ATM, how thoughtful but I told them I didnt have that much in the bank and they "settled" on a 400 dollar bribe..
They are treated way better here as illegals than I was treated there as a paying tourist!

There seems to be some ignorance floating around here. Let me try to clear things up.

This man is a comedian. I happen to think he is extremely funny. His amazing racicits bits are not to great, but not really offensive.

His name is
Ari Shaffir.

These bits he does as "The Amazing Racist" are just that, bits. Skits done for the camera. If you get offended at this it is because your watching it out of context.

I could get just as ticked-off by watching 5 minutes of Borat, if I thought it was real.

Here are his other videos;

I find these few words to mimic my own feelings on this issue, but I felt that I should add one very pertinent point.

I keep hearing this excuse that we're also illegal immigrants to the Native Americans that were here 300 years ago. Honestly, I can see where that idea might come from, but by no means am I responsible for any of that. What we're responsible here for is the here and the now. If we don't step it up a notch, and accept responsibility for our self-made laws, then we'll have to deal with the problems that we create.

No, there's no way to make up for what our ancestors have done to those that they harmed, but that doesn't mean that it's any more right for some other group to do to us what our ancestors did to the natives here at the time. WE didn't do it. I didn't ask for the situation to be the way that it is, so to use the tired argument that it's only fair that this happens to us is quite unfair, and I would even think a little vindictive.

I didn't mean this to turn into a rant, but it seems to have. I have no intentions of angering anyone, but I find it extremely rude to assume that we today are somehow responsible for the actions of our ancestors, of which we never met, nor did we interact. THAT, in itself, is an unfair judgment.

All that we ask is for people to come here legally. If they come here illegally, they need to be held accountable. To defend illegal behavior is to be an accomplice in the act. If I defended a thief by not talking to the police, when I knew who it was, and it's found out that I knew, I'm held in custody as an accomplice. I think the same should be done here. This very ideal should be carried over to illegal immigration, as the law is the law for a reason. We have means to bring people here legally. If they cannot wait the agreed-upon length of time, then they don't need to be here.

Is this a harsh ideal? Yes, but it would work. And, quite honestly, we need something that works right now, because the current laws and law-enforcers aren't able to cut it with the laws that we have.

I saw this video a year or so ago I believe. I thought and still think its hilarious. I know that he is messing with the illegals, but he really didn't put them into a position where they would really get caught and into trouble. He told them where he was dropping them off and they all ran off. Yes, I can see some cruelty in playing the joke, and no, I would never do it, but because nothing happened in the end, he comes across as a comedian. Its almost as if the Jewish guy that does this is attempting to show you how screwed up things are and how stereotypes are still so present. I don't know if you have watched all of his videos, but he shows prejudice against everyone. There is another video where he goes into a black owned dry cleaner and asks them to clean his KKK white sheet outfit. I love how the guy working behind the counter handles the situation professionally before kicking the guys butt. I don't know the details behind this guy and his true prejudices, but I certainly hope he is doing it to draw attention to the prejudice in society. If he is a racist its garbage, if he's not, then it only helps expose what people may go through. As long as nobody gets hurt, its ok, if its to serve a positive purpose. I can't say for sure, because I have no idea of his true agenda. Others use this type of humor, like Sasha Baron Cohen, otherwise known as Borat, Bruno, and Ali G. A Jewish man that goes undercover in multiple personalities and sexual preferences to expose the prejudices of others. He does this while often poking fun at the stereotypes of religion, sexual preference, and race. It helps expose the real world that often hides in our faces.
