Learn about history, and move on. We can't give Texas back, people, so freakin deal with it. So by your reasoning poland still does not exist. You are not following my point at all. You are making an argument from emotion, because you are angry over something that happened over a century ago- under different circumstances and different people and a different time. I don't give a crap about Poland or that it happened. What exactly are you arguing? You want us to give Texas back?

I have to pretty much agree, what difference does this make with what is going on today? They ARE coming here for a better opportunity, and yes it is a great opportunity for them - AS long as they do it legally and LEARN English.

One does not have to agree with hitler to read mien kampf. I offered you the website to show you that there are those who would disagree with your opinion about why some people from mexico come to this country.

Cant follow that law? why should we assume you will follow any other law? That is pretty much what "they" said to martin luther king concernig his approach to civil disobediance. Two of the tenets of civil disobedience are: 1. Breaking the law openly 2. Nonviolence, specifically including not resisting or fleeing arrest. The illegal alien invasion doesn't even come close to MLK. Analogies aren't his strong suit. [;)] Personally, I find it a bit offensive. A moral principle cannot be applied to any and every situation. People from other countries entering at will are NOT citizens fighting against oppression for the betterment of their society.

Hitler led the largest known genocide in history (or one of them?), which he outlined in Mein Kampf- this is why people read the Mein Kampf, for socio-historical reasons. We read him not despite what he did, but because of what he did. Why else would you read a virulently angry anti-Semite? Not being a historian or ethicist, why would I waste time reading Hitler when I could read Nietzsche or Dostoevsky? Or hell, even Harry Potter. Therefore, why would I bother listening to some random street racist if not for the shock factor/sensationalism. I doubt this would make your or my point.

Yes, it's a totally separate issue- he's what they call 'arguing from emotion'- which never makes for a logical argument or much efficient problem-solving. He seems to be angry over injustices of the past, things that no one can fix (unless they had a time machine)- not about today, or the future. I don't think it ever bodes well for any group of people to come here en masse and not give back to the society by 'assimilating' at least somewhat or trying to do things the right way, it is disrespectful and shows a lack of character of the people, imo. Every single group of people here today have done this, descendents of slaves, Europeans, Asians, recent immigrants, etc... they put their time in to gain acceptance, learned the language, shared their culture with the non-immigrants, etc. The problem is really that I don't know if the Mexicans and others illegally working here are really trying or wanting to become citizens, or if they are just staying here for a while to make a bunch of money which converts to alot more back in Mexico- then returning to their families back in Mexico- rather than staying to bring them over the correct way. Argue and work for immigration reform then, not amnesty for such a large amount of people- we don't know who they are, and this bothers me, to be honest, in a post-911 world. Hey, I was there on 9-11 and still live in Prime Target Area #1 for alot of crap to go down, so it bothers me that people still have this hippie liberal ideology of letting whoever-whatever-whenever into our country without any sort of responsibility to report anything to our government or respect for our laws..if this makes any sense. It's the general principle of the thing.

quote: ORIGINAL: truckinslave quote: mlk broke the existing law and was in response to tazz saying that all the illegals have to do is follow the law. I got that. What I'm saying is that comparing the civil disobedience of King (which I even partially defined fo you) to the clandestine, dishonest, identy-stealing, job-killing, wage-lowering, and occasional violence of the illegal alien invasion is sorta like comparing jaywalking to the Holocaust. Which you didn't get at all, dude. So you look on the racism lynching and murders against blacks as nothing more than jaywalking while the misdomeanor of illegally crossing the boarder is equivilant to the holocaust. What you refuse to notice is that those of you who constantly carp on (follow the law) want to dance and waffle when it is taken in the context of the real world. You are no different than faubus or barnett who demanded that all "dem ni**ers have to do is obey the law and we wont sick de dawgs on em". Now it is no longer pc for you to take that line concerning blacks but feel quite justified in using the same tactic on the illegals. This begs the question "why are you not as vociferous about prosecutiong the employers, which would absolutely bring an end to people crossing the boarder illegally." Oh wait... perhaps it is your bigotry?

So far the only point you have made is that you are a "pc bigot" You are making an argument from emotion, because you are angry over something that happened over a century ago- under different circumstances and different people and a different time. No emoton here just a factual statement of history I don't give a crap about Poland or that it happened. What exactly are you arguing? I am sorry I was not clear. The relationship between russia and poland were not significantly different than the relationship between the u.s. and mexico. You want us to give Texas back? If someone stole your car would you want them to give it back?

tazzygirl -> RE: Az immigration law case begins (7/26/2010 3:13:26 PM)
Whoa... HUGE difference here, thompson. Blacks werent sneaking across a border, they were dragged here in chains. They had NO choice in coming, unlike the illegals we are speaking of. No one is sicking the dogs on anyone. What we are saying is... be legal or be gone. This isnt the 60's, as much as you seem to want to forget that. And while you are harping on the federal government following the laws they established, they are developing new programs to identify those who are here illegally. Seems the government likes the two prong approach as well.

Perhaps if you were to read dostoevsky you might garner some insight as to why the russian government locked him up for ten years Therefore, why would I bother listening to some random street racist if not for the shock factor/sensationalism. I doubt this would make your or my point. Because this particular bigot discusses the concept of aztlan which contradicts your opinion that all mexican illegals cross the border for economic reasons.

quote: ORIGINAL: tazzygirl Whoa... HUGE difference here, thompson. Blacks werent sneaking across a border, they were dragged here in chains. I am not talking about blacks sneaking across borders I am talking about blacks sitting in "whites only spaces" I am sorry you did not understand that. They had NO choice in coming, unlike the illegals we are speaking of. No one is sicking the dogs on anyone. You have not noticed anyone posting about mining the border, shotting mexicans or putting their boot in a mexican ass? What we are saying is... be legal or be gone. This isnt the 60's, as much as you seem to want to forget that. You have very clearly presented your well researched data to show the severe penalities for hiring those who cross the border illegally. Anyone who doesn't believe that if those laws were enforced there would be no illegal alien problem in the u.s. has a shoe size larger than their i.q. And while you are harping on the federal government following the laws they established, No I am pointing out that the state of arizona has the obligation and the ability to enforce those laws and they choose not to do so. they are developing new programs to identify those who are here illegally. Seems the government likes the two prong approach as well. As your research clearly pointed out that is old news. The feds regularly notify employers of s/s nunbers that are "irregular" and the employer has ten days I believe to correct the "irregularity" when the employer does not do so your cited cases show that the feds took action.
