Guatemalan natives talk about Postville immigration raid

[MyRoman5555]

The hispanic population is growing very fast...I love it...lets make more babies and take over America! Who's with me? bwahahaha

[pimppappi702]

Fuck ICe

[kerthialfad]

Over the past decade, according to census figures, the US population grew by about 30 million. That's the population of Canada, Australia, S. Korea, Spain, Argentina. What are we? Nuts? With unemployment so high and the industrial base of the US economy gone overseas, what's the point in continuing this madness?

[eSaLokiiTaEnamoRadaa]

como me kiga mal lo rasistas

[rasluis86]

the first one is mexican, the second one es guatemalan.

[juan1974mendez]

i think i have to respect these people they are brave enough to get insulted and belittled while they look for a better living. they are the new wave of immigrants. i cannot understand why an american wants to do their work when they have the right to look for a better type of job and a better salary.. to me that is ridiculous as i emigrated and was able to get my education and work as a professional and to think an american cannot do it,, it's kind of depressing.

[hiccera]

what kind of immigration do they have he asks- i mean i did not realize you had immigration - you people you let me work here and take others jobs for months now and suddenly you take offense to my living and working here- who do you think you are coming and treating me like a criminal when all i did was break the law- please,i demand, you say nice words to me- i did not need to have permission to enter or go through the right way- it was a hard trip through the desert and expensive

[amerelles]

I get your point just wanted to add that this particular inmigrants did not cross the dessert they were hired on their own country by an american company that placed adds in the newspapers promising that they would help them make their stay legal. They should leave if they are not legal but why doesn´t anybody blame the americans who used them and also broke the law?

[toxinblades]

DEPORT yes we can

[jxmunoz]

What if? America goes under...becomes a third world country and then you find your self scrambling to another country to get a job. You may not want to "wait in line" for several years. The need is now...they don't come her to buy an Ipod..they come to put food in their mouths. Good for you ...your an American and you can belittle other people from south of the border.

[lumpagogo]

Let us thank the Creator for giving us all these gifts from Guatemala.

[juan1974mendez]

i agree with jxmunoz..  we shouldn't just be so disrespectful to others and not think of our skin. immigrants come from all over the world and what if one day the american dream is gone, and even americans have to look for another place to go and live... just as an American, i cannot just think oohh i will never have to seek another country to look for a better living.

[frankous66]

blah, blah, blah......it all comes out in the "wash" at the end of life!

[picovu]

I cannot believe you call yourself americans. If you wanted to know about this issue maybe you should do a little research. This town is starving and now americans have lost their jobs. It was the owner of this plant who was bringing these people here from Guatmela. So who is the rat, maybe we should take a look in the mirror and think what we would do to feed ourselves and our family. If thats what you call a rat or a donkey then I think every american is the one too.

[lumpagogo]

Lie dead with that propogandi, picie. Pro-immigrinti = no, no, no, no.

[martinandree]

"Unfortunately, we can't do this in Guatemala because it is very poor" he says. Maybe the reason your country is so poor is because you and others like you, feel that it's OK to commit crimes for financial gain.

[blackstormelf]

Many want to come to this Country,so stand in line! like everyone else,and do it Legally!!!

[Atlantaminuteman]

This is not GUATAMALA. I do not believe one word of this fool. Get it on tape! If you can buy a car and drive without a license and not pay all taxes and get free healthcare that I pay 100.00 a month you8 would think you could get it on film and a tape! Lies pure trash !

[grizzly255]

they sneak in to the country like Rats, and are as dumb as Burros. American are to soft, they should be forced out by bullets and any other means possible. Mark my words, it will happen sooner or later, Americans are getting fed up with rats and burros from south of the border, Rats like these are good for NOTHING in my country, PISS ON THEM

[amerelles]

They didn`t sneak, an AMERICAN company runned by AMERICANS placed adds in their countries newspaper promising them a legal job there. OK they should go back but why don´t I hear you calling rats to the people that took advantage of their need and then when they had no more use for them turned them in? Or ist ok for them to do that because they are "americans"

[chapinarcks]

@grizzly255 maybe we should piss on you!

[hypnofan35]

Rich people always feel as if they have to beat down the poor and turn them into slaves. Status insurance is like life insurance except the rich constantly have to rip off and beat down the poor. Rich people tend to believe that poor people live only by their good graces. This is why there needs to be a cyborg terminator population to turn the rich into criminals every 20 years or so and then steal all their stuff, give them a lobotomy and then let them go down at the salvation army mission.

[lumpagogo]

hypno-5 has given us a unique prescription for what ails us. May we suggest that hypno become the first victim of his own brand of anarchic violence and that we have only to wait 20 minutes for same, not 20 years.

[otef434]

No, No, No, you consider OUR laws, not the other way around. If you are here legally, there is no problem, go on with your life, share in what we Americans have.

If not, you face the prospect of accounting for your actions. That is the basis of U.S. law. This is not a hard concept to understand folks.

[imsiriustube]

If your argument for illegal immigration is that it's good to take advantage of poor foreigners at the expense of American workers, so the American middle and upper classes can have cheap food, I'm afraid I don't see that as a worthy argument. What's next on that path? Do we start making some people slaves so we can have even cheaper food? C'mon. The excuses people make for illegal immigration are always so weak and shady.

[hiccera]

Mr bone2thebone -- to my knowledge we do not pay with lbs in the country-- we use dollars -- please get your facts straight before speaking

[augie7]

Every single illegal alien has the same attitude, we have something they should have, and they are determined to get it.

[BJMallory]

Um, kind of like the Europeans' attitude when they decided that North America belonged to them?

[augie7]

they came to fight for their lives....who are they going to fight?  if you come here to fight, with your primative skills, you're as good as dead. I you witness one of these fellows on a payday after a couple of beers, you will see a Don Juan determined to get a lady. No doesn't mean no when it comes to raping a teenage girl, any more that it means no entry into the US over or under the wire. We don't need these guys, and one day it will come to a head.

[grizzly255]

I would say ICE is rite, they are BURROS and Rats that take American jobs. These 2 need to be deported ASAP as do all illegal alian vermin and there children. I for 1 am tired of these parasites being in my country. Look at the filthy 2 in the video, no wonder they were called BURROS and RATS. EVERYSINGLE illegal alian in this country is a no good POS law breaker that deserves to be kicked to the curb and then out of this country. BURROS AND BURRAS and RATS FIT them perfectly. IMMAGRATE LEGALLY!

[amerelles]

Yeh and the BURROS and Rats are the Company who posted an add on their country news paper promising that their job would be legal ( I have a copy of the add) Send them back alright, because the law is the law but why doesn´t any body blame the perfect americans citizens who ilegally went to their country to hire them and then turned them in when they had no more use for them. I am talking about this particular case not the ones who ilegally cross the dessert.

[imsiriustube]

A good point has been made by other commenters. Yes, the illegals are in the wrong. And yes, they should be deported. But the ultimate criminal is the greedy business or corporation that sells out America in a quest for cheap workers to exploit. Illegal immigration takes American jobs and depresses wages. It creates all kinds of costs and problems for local and state governments. In the end, Americans pay one way or another so that businesses can exploit poor foreigners. This must stop.

[johnknoefler]

It will only stop when the laws make it unprofitable.

[johnbourbon]

seriously, don't protest the guat.  protest the guy who employs the guat.

[minutemanmom]

Guana is probably a dreamer. Ha Ha the dream will never come true. JUST SAY NO TO THE DREAM ACT!

[guanakitaforever]

u live in USA and you dont know that they have an ITN# TO PAY TAXES hahahaha u don't know nothing about your country.

[jimj122680]

Liberals who support illegal immigrants are actually (unknowingly) siding with greedy U.S. corporations. Why? Because they (ie. liberals) are protecting corporation's profit rich, cheap labor workers.

WHO WINS? Greedy companies AND illegal workers (earning FAR more than in Mexico).

WHO LOSES? The U.S. labor class (U.S. proletariat) via job losses to illegal workers & depressed wages.

Thus 120 years of American wage struggles fought since the Haymarket Rebellion of 1886 are being undermined.

[guanakitaforever]

Inmigrants are the English people who they came in from another continent we are not from another continent We are Americans because our ancestors were from this continents not like the Germans, Italians, and bla bla so everybody in this country is an inmigrant. if you dont believe me ask your mom where your ancestors came from.

[minutemanmom]

Your esl teacher should be fired as he(she) didn't teach you well. For one an immigrant comes from another COUNTRY not another continent. I and many other people were born in the USA so we are not immigrants-we are US citizens.

[guanakitaforever]

I'm from El Salvador and I live in USA i speak English and Spanish I graduated from high school and I learned about USA History and the only owners of this land are the Indians Natives of USA and let me tell you something they have the same color skin as me and the same color eyes as me. Who are the inmigrants?

[SassyNok]

My second post...since the first I have viewed a video called "Don't Mess With Ice"....if you watch it you will see why ICE may have referred to the illegals as 'rats'...(tho' we don't know if that is true). In the previous named video, 2 ICE agents stop a van....I lost track of how many came out of that van...and they began to run all different ways...to avoid the officers.....just like a nest of rodents. The officers couldn't catch most of them.

[SassyNok]

So the first man asked..."what kind of immigration do they have in the United States?" The correct answer is "LEGAL"! Hooray for ICE! It needs to be done every day of the week and employers should be fined and/or imprisoned. I understand they come 'from a very poor country', but get in line and come in legally.

[jojo216]

Anyone with half a brain knows the end result when an American goes to another country illegally, or doesn't speak their language fluently and tries to obtain a position without that government's permission, OR tries to purchase THEIR land. It's a flat "NO!" As a nation of supposed intellectuals, we could learn from this!

[ibilldavis]

Foreigners are the root of all evil.

[yelloworangered]

Wow. These guys have no concept of legal and illegal. They think because they want something real bad -- like an American job and residence in the United States -- it is okay to just take it. And I really doubt that ICE agents called them "burros." That is just stupid beyond belief.

[msmo1918]

I can see this video has brought out all the bigots.

[uzinut]

I'm a biggot!

[94civiccolumbus]

whats a biggot?

[minutemanmom]

Bigot-a code word used by the OBL.

[RonsterP]

If there country is so bad, why don't they do something to change it? Instead, they come here and steal a job that an American would be doing. IF THE PAY WAS RIGHT!!!

Americans are kind, our government is TOO kind. Americans are being forced to join a world community that does not share the same values we do. I am not prepared to be poor too. This is what the elites want! The middle class in the U.S is under attack, it is time to fight back!!

[PatriotSue]

RonsterP, you see things so clearly. It is time, for us to fight back.

[hisharri]

You got it! Mexico was attacked looooong time ago; these are the consequences. Who started it?

[amerelles]

and if americans want to do the jobs why is California working on temporary permissions for central american workers do to lack of hand labor?

[amerelles]

I am all against illegal inmigration and I respect your patriotism, but before being so hard on judging them have you considered doing a little research to find out that many U.S goverment actions (from years ago I'm not talking this one) have doomed many of the countries where inmigrants come from to poverty.

[amerelles]

By any means do I justify illegal inmigration, but did you know that high rank officials and even a U.S president apologized to the Guatemalan people because of actions taken by former u.s goverments doomed them into 30 years of war that ended just a few years ago? Inmigrants are also a result of your own goverments past actions, so I don´t say let them all in I'm just saying understand that it is not only the inmigrants fault, because when your family is hungry you´ll do anything for them.

[valleykidd1]

@RonsterP americans wouldnt be doing any job. cause white people are lazier than black people. why dont yu see white in construstion or doing a job that involves working hard. cause they rather sit back and let the hispanics do it.. thats why yall stupid white folks dont have jobs. cause yall suck at it. yall are only complaining to look stupid. its your fault if you dont have a job..

[beherit15]

yea, your stupid country is only for vacation time or for buying cheap stuff, not for work. I dont want to live in the US, with all those intolerant and ignorant people like you guys.

[crlodi]

Ya this stupid country is allowing you to come to our stupid country and take our jobs from us (The ones paying taxes) So I guess I'll see ya in Mexico real soon.

[crlodi]

GO back HOME you don't belong here. I'm done paying taxes for idiots like you. I use to be a police officer near Postville, they break the law all the time, never have an ID. I feel bad for thier kids.

[PatriotSue]

Everyone feels sorry for their kids. It is just another by-product of the illegals and their crimes. They have done this to their own flesh and blood. They are totally responsible for the suffering of their children. But, just like we teach our children the hard facts of life, these children need to learn the same. When you do the crime, you do the time. Deportation is the punishment for residing in the U.S., illegally.

[PatriotSue]

Someone, has to teach illegals' children right from wrong. They sure, as hell are not doing it.

[amerelles]

Hi crlodi! first let me tell you that in no way do I support Ilegal inmigration, but you say you are tired of paying taxes for ilegals, wich I totally understand. You can't only blame them for their country's situation. Did you know that a former U.S president apologized to guatemalan people and aknowledge that past U.S actions doomed them into 30 years of war? Inmigrants are also done watching their families suffer hunger and poverty caused by other countries goverments decitions.

[icetrout2]

41 we don't need them !!!

[PatriotSue]

They need to go home and stay home. These people have committed so many crimes against our people, U.S. citizens, they do not deserve to be here.

[amerelles]

By any means do I justify illegal inmigration, but did you know that high rank officials and even a U.S president apologized to the Guatemalan people because of actions taken by former u.s goverments doomed them into 30 years of war that ended just a few years ago? Inmigrants are also a result of your own goverments past actions, so I don´t say let them all in I'm just saying understand that it is not only the inmigrants fault, because when your family is hungry you´ll do anything for them.

[keith19633]

well fine, then you feed them, and let them move in to your home! people like you make me sick! these illegals are getting free housing, free schooling for there anchoir bastards, free medcare, all on our tax dollar! BEING HERE IS A CRIME!

[amerelles]

As I said I don´t suport them, all I say It is a conseuence of U.s acctions in other countries. Sorry you have to pay for it as millions of latin americans have to pay for your goverment´s acctions, why should you pay for other people? I agree is unfair , Why should other people be poor and therefore look for better options because of Americans sticking their noses in other countries dooming them to underdevelopment, also unfair.

[amerelles]

You entirely missed my point. I am against ilegals but blaming only them is not right. If Americans respect the law there will be no jobs for ilegals.By the way This company if you didn´t know this company hired them in their own country, with adds in the news paper, encouraging them to go to the U.S (many of weren´t even thinking of going there) and when they had no more use for them they turned them in to the authorities, So send them home but americans who used them should also be punished.

[amerelles]

[amerelles]

And the americans who hired them? It´s not all their fault if there are americans who ALSO BREAK THE LAW AND OFFER THEM JOBS,just to pay them less.If Americans respect the law there will be no jobs for ilegals.By the way This company if you didn´t know hired them in their own country, with adds in the news paper, encouraging them to go to the U.S and when they had no more use for them, they turned them in to the authorities, So send them home but americans who used them should also be punished.

[minutemanmom]

How in the heck would these guys know what immigration said? They can't even speak English! This is just two guys lying and exaggerating to try and make us feel sorry for them.

[PatriotSue]

Exactly. What can you expect from people who come here, illegally, use fraudulent and stolen documents. Drive illegally. Steal our U.S. tax dollars to pay for the education of their children and their free emergency room care.

[PostvilleRaidStink]

coolassdude, u better shutup ok, i live in postville and all the hispanics are fucking awesome so u better shutup or ill personally kick ur ass

[minutemanmom]

If they talk like you write they are not awesome. If they broke the law by working in Postville with fake or stolen ids they are not awesome. They are criminals. Send the illegal aliens home where they belong!

[amerelles]

And the americans who hired them?

[PatriotSue]

You are as bad as the illegals. You have helped them to reside in the United States, illegally, which is a felony. You have betrayed your fellow countrymen, who have to follow our laws. You do not care, that they have stolen U.S. citizens I.D.'s and committed crimes against us. Illegals are not the victims. They are the criminals and anyone, who has helped them commit these crimes, against us.

[icetrout2]

Stinkass fuck you!!!

[keith19633]

why are you rude? this is america! we have right also,have you lose your job, to illegals? i have! your the one who needs to shut up!

[GunnySgtHartman]

La ley es la ley culeros. Obedezcanla!!!
