Most are decent hard working people that only want to have a better life for their family and are willing to work together for the benefit of the whole group.
Sure there are some bad apples in the bunce, but there are sorry whites and blacks also that leech off the system(I'm even related to a few).
people say that Mexicans don't pay taxes. Employers pay SS tax for each employee that they have. I know that a lot give fake SS numbers, but they will never collect a SS check so where does all that money go?
does anybody know of any Mexican terrorists?

Eastern_Diamonback, I am guessing your name speaks for your views and where you're from. I might be wrong so feel free to correct me, cause your views are parallel to those from the sticks out east.
Sounds like you don't know what you're talking about when it comes to agriculture. In case you don't know, that is Ca. no. 1 commodity. Why don't tell us what you do, line of work, so that it becomes clearer to everybody.
When it comes to taxes, we all pay taxes, double too. You need to zoom out and not focus on a few individuals unless you've been a perfect citizen all your life.
For example, did you serve your country? Proabably not, but your given right is to run your mouth, so you utilize it to its maximum.
A lot of people of mexican descent all love this country. I might not agree with a lot of them waving mexican flags but you have to wonder why do they do it? I am no expert, but i'll take a stab at it. I believe they do it, because people, those who've posted negative comments, express their views not just online, but in the streets. In the name of justice and dettering terrorists of course (ludicris). They wave their flags to show that they're mentally strong and are forced to side with their mother country and fellow mates.
People like you who make them feel unwelcomed and unappreciative of the hard labor they take on. More power to them for overcoming your prejudices. If they didn't have to take on your dogmatic views, maybe they would feel as if they had an option to demonstrate their pride.
I'll expand on this view. I am 90 percent sure that you've never expressed negative views about people in the south who wave their confederate flags. Come on! The war has been over for how long? Answer me this, is that patriotic? But you're not looking at the flag my man, you're looking at the color of their skin, wake up....

You helped harvest cornright? I grow corn myself and I can tell you that harvesting corn is a lot different than harvesting produce. The combine does all the harvesting, all you have to do is transport it to market or storage.
Most produce has be picked by hand. The ones that have worked for me DIDN'T work for pennies per hour, I paid them well and paid ss taxes for them. The reason that I started using Mexicans is that I couldn't get Americans to do the work,they always wanted to know how it would effect their govt. check that they were getting if they took the job.
We aren't under any obligation to make their problems ours, but without them this country would go hungry. If you don't want them here then stop eating. We would not be "importing" mexicans if Americans would take the jobs.
Farmers are not document printing specialists, we just want our crops harvested. We do our best to follow govt regulations.
I have relatives that live in Chicago. One has a business and has hired a Mexican because of the ones that he has seen working for me. My cousin told me that he is one of the most reliable and dedicated employees that he has ever had.
You sound like an educated person with all your college degrees, but I also have a little education in mechanical engineering, physics and chemistry. Education doesn't necessarily make make one intelligent, what you do with it does.
I don't see how a rattlesnake would denote any kind of intelligence, power or greatness in any way.
They are nothing but venomous. Wait a minute... that describes your views... I guess you picked the right name. By the way, I kill rattlesnakes all the time.

Poverty persists and manifests itself where there is no money partner. I am sure they're are plenty of places in the south where communities other than immigrants are plagued financially, don't be a fool.
To the person who wrote about the kid taking a piss in public, come on man, it was a kid and obviously you're not a parent. I agree that it's not right or polite and proably should have waited until nobody was around, but kids are kids. That's not a conclusive argument. When I was in colloge, alot of beer equaled alot of pissing, from both, boys and girls. I've had girls pissing on my shoe but it was all out of fun and happens all the time. How about when you puke in a friends car because you're out drinking, does that mean you're bringing the country down? That's absurd!
It's funny how our nature demands that "others" be held to the highest standards, or that they be perfect. We're all human and not everyone will be successful, otherwise, democracy fails by principal if we all have equal money. If you're going to post, offer something that reflects minimal intelligence on your part, not anger or ignorance.

you've debunked nothing, and your argument only rattles my ears with your nonsense. I wasn't trying to prove anything, just that in every class you have poor people, that was your argument, that they're poor that's why it is easy for you to pick on them.
I guess since you feel that you don't fall in that class, you think that you're better. You should be happy with what you have. If you're middle class, it really doesn't affect you either way.
These are I have medical covered, so why on earth would I worry about me having to spend 1 dollar for other people's medical. Is that what you're worried about? Lets face it, how much money do you feel like you spend in one month supporting if anything, anybody? Most of the taxes we pay go to more important things. For every doallars spent, maybe .01 goes to their cause. You make it seem like it's affecting your pocket when it really doesn't. I really don't care, because in reality, it really doesn't affect me. If it did, then, that would mean I am in the same boat.
I am not trying to justify any immigration. It's just your rambling. Maybe you got bit too many times or ate too much corn because that heat caused it too pop in your head causing severe trauma to your rational thinking. You think you've used reason, but you've only gave personal reasons, not logic.
Besides, all you've done is replied in the last four posts to what i have offered. Lets see, I bet you'll only reply HIGHLIGHTING sentences that I wrote.
