Its funny how you crackers get so definsve **** you rednecks ******* gringos no one is going back anywhere so **** you. **** this bitch and **** you crackers The real latinos are the one that have the balls do do hard work the ones that sweat off their balls making a living making your food construction landscaping all jobs white people are to "Fragile" to do because they are too bitchy and highmaintenance they need their breaks and days off their raise and a vacation when latinos work they dont give a shit about a vacation to cancun or the bahamas like you palefaces. Send the illegals back? stop being ignorant the american government is corrupted these businesses that hire them depend on illegals they need cheep labor these businesses are owned by rich people who make the country money cracking down on them would be a big loss for the crackers. so they just point the finger at those crossing the border rather than the ones that hire them and give them jobs which is why they come.

MarlenaG71 07:36 PMJul 11 2009 Funny how much some Americans complain so much about illigal immigrants taking jobs. They complain about jobs that most Caucasions or even Blacks wont or CANT do. My parents own acres of orchards and vineyards in California. Now that most the immigrants have left, not a single white or black person is fighting over any of those crop picking jobs. That said, America is paying much higher prices for produce and fruits at the super markets. The consumer ALWAYS pays for the losses. So, All's well, that ends well-----------there is no job an american won't do, who do you think was doing them before the illegal immigrants got here?

Perales said. "I interpret what is going on as really amounting to Latinos don't have a right to form a civil rights organization and they don't have a right to bring lawsuits to protect their interests." I would think the answer is NO, THEY DON'T! For the simple fact that I don't see any white civil rights organizations, and considering that the supreme court had to overturn her verdict to protect the rights of white people, it might be time to get some white organizations going!

Not speaking proper english is a CHOICE not a DISADVANTAGE! We have bi-lingual education here in Texas too, and all it does is set the kids up for failure later in life where they will need groups like these and La Raza to come to their defense. They struggle in school, then go home and speak spanish with their frinds and parents and watch Univision all night. If you cannot speak legible english you should not get the job. Conversely, people who cannot speak spanish should NEVER be turned down for a job because of it unless directly related to tourism.

Pidaman:07:22 PMJul 11 2009:I would have only FOUR questions for the Judge : 1. Does she believe that the U.S. has the right to enforce current immigration laws. 2. Does Mexico have a legal standing to petition for the return of the American southwestern states that the U.S. won in the Mexican-American war. 3. Does she agree with the currnet vision of the 2nd Amendment, that 'law-abiding' U.S. citizens have the right to own guns WITHOUT GOVERNMENT PERMISSION. 4. Can 'Whites' be discriminated against ? If the answers are yes-no-yes-yes, then welcome to the Supreme Court !---------------I doubt she could answer "yes" to all of those questions....and what are the papers that Obama is refusing to release about Sotomayor?...and why should this be allowed if all information is relevant to the confirmation process?

The only reason whites and blacks will not those jobs is because we do not work for free, hey latino,Mexican, how much you want per hour? Senior,I will work for $6.00...live here speak english, not legal go home ......simple.....I worked in Mexico city for six months my visa ran out , three days later the police came and got me and took me to the border told me never to come back. Hmmmmmmm...but yo know what do not worry about getting sent back, they only send a few here and there back to shut the whites up for awhile, you know to fool them into thinking congress is doing something....but the truth is they need more in this country, why? because they do not fill out Tax returns, every three years the government gets to keep this money ...the average illegal should get back 500 to 700 USD at the end of the year but they do not,now times that by 3 million.....OMG what a money making machine for Congress,Like senator Pelosi said if I send all the illegals back I won't beable to get a rais...

Mendezbarcafan,......you know what....My best friend and the best man at my wedding 13 years ago is an American citizen (born here) and has hispanic roots...Guess what,..(No welfare or assistance here)....He can't stand illegal aliens of "ANY" kind, he can't stand fascist, far left liberals, terrorists and terrorist supporting countries. ..He does however, love and respect our military, this country and it's traditional American values.....and yes, he can't stand Obummer, his fascist administration and the liberal run statist Congress,..."just like me"....Well, time to go to my best friends studio and record some more proud American, anti marxist songs that are based on fascist, leftist, prejudiced nutjobs like.. (Obummer, Sotomayor, Pelosi, Reid, Dodd and Barney Frank)....We like freedom of speech and expression!!.....everyone have a nice evening:)

mendezbarcafan you are hilarious, just read your own posts and you will see true stereotyping, hypocricy, racism and someone who has been brainwashed. If this is all you have, you have my sympathy, it must suck to be you.
