NO ones wants to migrate, we often see the problem of migration from those coming in but never from those coming out and taking over the industries affecting other nations capital. The reason why people move to the US illegally is because their is not wealth at home to support them most of their wealth goes to ford, kellogs and Union Carbide the same companies that dictates the politics in this nationlelocolonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863848230674917354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-14000149406806612472010-05-02T19:32:11.395-04:002010-05-02T19:32:11.395-04:00I live in Texas, which borders Mexico, and the imm...I live in Texas, which borders Mexico, and the immigration question is a daily topic of conversation. I too sorta' like Obama's plan. It seems to be a reasonable balance.<br /><br />I have a Hispanic friend who states unequivocally that English should be the required language of the land. He says quite simply, it is only right. If we go to Portugal to live, we learn Portuguese. The same with France, Spain and on and on. I think he has a point. While I wouldn't force this on an elderly immigrant (we elderly people are too hard to train), I certainly think that the concept makes sense.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04278403041887060649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-6272778252076302032010-05-01T15:46:23.598-04:002010-05-01T15:46:23.598-04:00Frightful!

We're only a couple of generations away from the grandmothers who still spoke Yiddish (or Polish, or Greek), the grandfathers who could only write Hangul. And don't forget the "Norwegian bachelor farmers" who got by with a Ya! or two. They all came here, lived here, raised American English-speakers without ever becoming proficient at it themselves. I understand the need for an English-only requirement, but I don't think it is realistically enforceable. Is it?Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166865250789996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-91387918452484873532010-04-30T18:28:40.522-04:002010-04-30T18:28:40.522-04:00Beth, that law is dreadful and ultimately unachiev...Beth, that law is dreadful and ultimately unachievable--I hope. I'm so torn by this issue, I just haven't been able to write about it yet. On the one hand, I can't get past the word "illegal" but on the other hand, I can't get past "families". I'm not against immigrants coming into this country leagally, but I am against illegals taking American jobs. <br /><br />In Michigan we can't afford to be giving away jobs; nor can we survive on minimum wages--which is what happens when there are thousands of people standing in line for a chance at a few jobs. <br /><br />But the fact is, there are approx. 12 million illegals in this country and some of them have been here for a decade or more. What do we do with them? Send them home? Home is. . .where? They've made their home here, for better or for worse.<br /><br />But the law in Arizona goes far beyond any real enforcement. It singles out an ethnic group and targets them before they've even done anything. It's ridiculous, and so obviously unconstitutional. But there it is. <br /><br />I predict they'll have to back down. It does my heart good to see how angry nearly everyone is about this one issue.Ramona Grigghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07160614050077886238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-10573195267998913842010-04-30T14:57:25.377-04:002010-04-30T14:57:25.377-04:00The white folks live in an area where their neares...The white folks live in an area where their nearest neighbors are brown folks, and they don't like it. The reason for immigration is that there are borders. The reason some of the illegals bring drugs (and also some of the legals) is that people in the US, including some Arizonians, buy them. And the reason drugs are illegal is that they haven't been legalized yet.<br /><br />Those bigots should be forced to live in New York City for a couple of years where they buy their paper from a Muslim, a Mexican fixes their TV, their dentist is Japanese and their baby is delivered by a black doctor.<br /><br />That Obama is building concentration camps is well known. He's building them on the moon and Mars and Jupiter. Better pack.<br /><br />DBDBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09144446186279708019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-41454896044582099472010-04-29T23:03:33.620-04:002010-04-29T23:03:33.620-04:00Of course, today, there was some #$^hat that thoug...Of course, today, there was some #$^hat that thought it would be a good idea to put microchips in illegal aliens.

I know on the face it is a horrible law but not having read or studied anything about it, makes me not want to speak more on it.<br /><br />Your blog is as well informed as any of the major news outlets. I will let this be my foundation as I read this. The point about this being a nation of immigrants is a correct one but one that people are removed from. Sad how little attention we pay to history and its significance. <br /><br />I do think a lot of this has to do with having a black President. It gives the code words legitimate status because we can't be that racist and intolerant having a black President, right? <br /><br />And being removed from the past means that most whites have forgotten when their ethinicity was called into question.Big Mark 243https://www.blogger.com/profile/10974573439218884164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-60645713651587457002010-04-29T14:03:11.515-04:002010-04-29T14:03:11.515-04:00I don't often write a comment Beth as I mostly...I don't often write a comment Beth as I mostly ..although not always !!...agree with what you say.
