Your assertions, even if true, are not relevant. China is not importing workers from Philippines or Vietnam. We are importing millions of workers from China, Philippines, India, Mexico, etc. Wall Street is not running a Ponzi scheme, but the fat cats have given enough money to enough members of Congress to receive an off-budget subsidy in the form of permission to import cheap foreign workers, resulting in huge profits for them while millions of Americans lose their jobs or work for less pay.

your knowledge of history is flawed.

it was texan MEXICANS that revolted against santa ana.

if you actually visited the alamo instead of listening to la raza you would learn that.

santa ana ordered all survivors killed except two slaves and more than likely executed davy crockett who survived the assault.

when sam houston captured santa ana at san jacinto the dictator begged houston for mercy but got none!

the Tejano soldiers fought to free mexico from santa ana.

Immigration is a racket. The only people in favor of massive immigration are those that pocket the profits and pass all the social,economic and environmemtal costs onto the communities and try to shut down all debate by smearing their opponents as racist.

This is the most stupidest Ad ever.

SERIOUSLY!?!?!?! Immigrants taking American jobs?!?!?!

DO YOU AMERICANS WANT to be working at a 7-11, as a janitor, mowing lawns, building decks, owning convenience stores etc etc???

THEN GO AHEAD! Please!! Immigrants taking American jobs. Many immigrants who come to America are working low income jobs. If Americans want those jobs, what is stopping you?

OK you got me there, never heard that expression before.

No need to translate in Spanish, just thought you were one of many Americans who don't know how to spell, but apparently you're not.

"Fuel discrimination" means that you choose Unleaded over Diesel, haha. It's a figure of speech my friend, like idioms, Americans use it a lot.

What I was trying to say is that it "adds to" the discrimination of hiring workers in America. You want me to translate it in spanish?

[cpu278]

You harvest what you sow my friend.

[cpu278]

Never heard of fuel discrimination my friend

Imagine America as a family of ten, both parents are rich but only 2 of their 8 children are helping them. The rest are a bunch of bums totally dependent on them. What would the parents do?

1st) Spend 50% of their income protecting themselves from their arrogance,

2nd) Hire foreign workers to educate and work for their lazy kids

3rd) Hire medical professionals to take care of them

4th) Adopt other children (Immigrants, illegal or legal) to do household chores for them

The result? Recession!
