While I have studied the writings of the religion, I do not consider myself a Christian.  One reasons is this sort of tendency on members of the Religous Right to not care for the afflicted as their Religious tenets dictate they should.

Mother Theresa was a Christian.  Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, AnencephalyBoy, strike me as people who have fallen far from the path the alleged founder of the religion set for his followers to walk.

Let me clear up something here.  I am in the proces of learning Spanish.   I enjoy being around Hispanics and I
enjoy living in a multi-cultural community.
 
There is a big difference between having issues with illegal immigration and disliking other cultures.
No one here has stated that Hispanics were criminals, bad people or whatever.
I enjoy being around and embrace Hispanics.
 
I have issues with people of any race that are here illegally.
I have a right to feel that way, and that does not make me in any sense of the word a "racist".

We should be able to post headline stories, without having to defend ourselves for posting NEWS.

That said, I posted this story, because it is front page news.
It is a situation that happened, period.
 
There will always be people that take information and twist it, and put a spin on it to fit their own motives
or political agenda.
 
This is a sad and tragic story, period.  It is what it is and it is news.
I have noticed that whenever anyone posts anything controversial on here, if the suspects are Black or Hispanic,
it is always the same situation.
 

If anyone of any race, creed or color is in this country illegally and commits a heinous crime, be assured I will probably post it.  

**I don't care if they are Black, White, Green, Yellow, Purple, Pink or Blue.**

**I also will not care if they are Hispanic, African, Arabic, Chinese, Russian,etc.**

MzMia, correct.
Being of Irish descent I would arrest and deport the illegal Irish FIRST, just to set the example.

We aren't exactly being overrun by illegal Irish immigrants, popeye.

What gets me is when suggestions of racism come out when there's no evidence of it. The people crying racism the most often seem to be the ones perpetuating the perception that it's there. You can't be outspoken about one thing without defending something that you're not.

quote:

I think people who get uptight about illegal immigration are for the most part cattle....Followers...This was never a concern till someone brought this to their attention that this is one of the sources of all of their problems....If we kicked every illegal out of this country you know how much the majority of all of your lives would change?  What then?  You know, those fuckers from Belize have not been exactly pulling their weight of late....Let's get rid of them.

It's rather sad.

I debated whether to post this.
But we post just about everything else here.
 
What is your opinion about the execution style murders of the 3 college students in Newark, N.J.?

Two Suspects In Custody In Newark Killings - News - MSNBC.com

Does the fact that one of the suspects IS an illegal alien, mean anything to you?

 What do you think about growing safety concerns in the U.S.A.?

When we talk about illegal immigration we are speaking about Hispancis....That is where the problem lies...If you want to spend your time rounding up the illegal Irish or Black/African-Carribbean people in this country go right on ahead....You would be wasting a great deal of your time and resources....It's one thing to say things that sound cute....It is quite another to not acknowledge what and where is the actual source of the problem.

Of course I see your point, punkin.  The majority of the folks who get their undies up in a bundle don't live on border towns....Sure it is something to be concerned about...But sweetypie I wonder what would be the effect on your life if we as a country got rid of all of the illegals....Your property values are tremendous, insurance has always been high in Ca compared to much of the U.S.  ....Maybe health insurance costs might decrease....But a burrito might cost $1,000.00  ....trade offs...Trade offs.
