Even native American's, the tribes Europeans found when they arrived were immigrants at one time.

And the Aztecs were among the most brutal of conquerors throughout history.
A very high percentage of people who were among the early pioneers in the US are also descendents of the Native tribes found in America. And they got a whole lot better treatment than the natives in the countries conquered by Spain.

You start a thread a out how bad people in the US are hatin, trying to make us out to be the bad guys like you are any better.
I'm tired of hearing how bad my ancestors were, when the people doing the belly aching usually had ancestors who were far worse.
Molec who? Got a link? Sounds like propaganda nonsense.
And who is it really that are responsible for these over blown acts of brutality. A race ? Or politicians and their overlords.
I can NOT blame the Mexican for coming here in fact I hardly ever did. I have had my moments but I always recant to say " I'd do the same exact thing if I were them ".

I think if we blame a race for it's level of brutality ? It's akin to apples blaming oranges for having a thicker skin. We're all capable of the ultimate in brutality. Wasn't it the Europeans who first sacrificed their children to Molek' by burning them in the belly of an iron calf. I think it was. Something unthinkable to Native Americans and Aztecs both.

After all, this all seems like one grand scheme on the part of all governments involved anyway. So I put the blame and save the hate where it belongs from here on out.

Well if it makes you feel any better, I hate everyone: Domestic, Foreign, & Self.
My hate does not discriminate.

I think the danger lies in thinking of all immigrants as belonging to a group. In my experience, it's very hard to dislike indivuals, while very easy to dislike groups.
Great post. S&F.

Easier to blame others than to look in the mirror and admit that we are the ones who stood by and helped create the mess we are now in.
Blame the immigrants!!!!
If that doesn't work, blame them again.
Peace

I'm confused...
Are we calling illegal aliens, immigrants? I think my sister in-law would be upset with that since she took 15 years to become an immigrant.
BTW Mexicans and others south of the border are hard working people. I would love to see a robust work visa program, but I think what people have an issue with is that whole "illegal" part of it..as in breaking the law...
