I'd love to meet someone decent from India, but from what I've seen the Mexicans are much friendlier. I'm just scared of the cultures in countries like India and Iraq. The type of culture people grow up in affect how they are. Killing a woman who was raped is an honor........oh and let's not forget Nigeria where a woman was stoned to death for giving birth to a child outside of marriage. At least in US, such practices are against the law. But people are coming over here that were raised to think this kind of behavior is ok.......after all it's legal in their country. Doesn't that put our own country in danger?

Women are murdered by their significant others all the time here, do you pay attention to the news at all?

I don't hate most minorities, It has nothing to do with skin color. I just hate cultures who think killing a raped woman brings honor to their family and women who have a child outside of marriage should be stoned to death. If hating the type of culture that thinks such cruelty is ok makes me a bigot, then I guess I am a bigot.

There has been much ranting in here about illegal immigrants coming from Mexico.  I just noticed a headline at CNN about a new fence Bush just signed for that will go along your border.  Do you think it will help?

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/10/26/bush.immigration.ap/index.html

First off, if a fence gets built, it wont do anything.  It will be tunnelled under, driven around, whatever.

But I dont think a fence will be built.  I think Monkeyboy is doing what he always does, signs bills into law and relies on his party's control of congress to ensure it does not get funded.

The only thing the Simian in Chief is doing with this bill is to try to drum up support for the party he has spent 6 years shooting in the head.

Just me, could be wrong, but there you go.

I agree with your statement about America's past, but what good will it do to bring men over here who still think women should have no rights? That only means more women will get treated like shit. We have enough problems with domestic violence as it is, why bring people over here who will compound the problem?

She aint saying bring 'em over to help us beat our wives, she's saying that we should not be so high and mighty and judge an entire country when we just started changing our behaviours and laws 100 years ago.  We're no better than they are, and you have no way to prove it.  (A friend told you is not proof, because it turns out, I have a friend that told me the opposite)

I know at one time we weren't better than they are. I judge our own countries past as harshly as I judge them now. Thank God we have gotten past that. But do modern American women deserve to be exposed to such barbarians? Mexicans aren't barbarians like that. I'm just saying our government needs to keep the barbarians out, not the friendly Mexicans. We don't need to add to the number of non consentual woman abusers in this country.

If I was a bigot, I would hate anyone who wasn't white which is not the case. I'm not prejudice against Mexicans, Native Americans, or African Americans. Am I also a bigot to be against Islamic cultures where a family will kill a woman who is raped and call it an "honor killing?"

Wow.  With one stroke of the pen you just rid the world of bigots.  I mean, no one hates ALL minorities, right?  And bigots do.  Therefore, it's okay to hate MOST minorities, provided you shake hands with a token black guy.

Yours,

There are two questions I need answered, benji.

1)  Who gave Archie Bunker access to the internet?

2)  Why did Archie Bunker log in with a profile claiming to be a woman?

Where is Meathead when we need important questions answered?

We have no "Meathead", but there is a "Meatcleaver" posting here, I do not suppose this counts?

Sinergy, again I agree with you about that POS Bush.
If he actually wanted to close that border all he has to do is put U.S. Troops along that border then declare Martial Law along the entire length of it.
After a few dozen are shot down no-one would take the chance anymore.
The whole solution to that problem is "Boots on the Ground."
However, there needs to be a certainty that people who sneak into our country will be deported.
We can't do that with 2,200 INS agents.
Congress should vote for and fund 50,000 INS agents.
Most of the people caught and deported aren't caught by the INS (I.C.E. I think they call it now, I've been retired for a few years.)
they're caught by local and state police dept's for something as simple as not having a driver's liscense. Or bouncing a check or things other than being an illegal alien.
But when they combine the two then they can jail them on an immigration hold indefinately.
But, it's really a very simple matter to close that border but Bush doesn't want to because too many of his rich buddies are getting richer off of it.

Popeye you are quite correct ... tho add to that the pc police depts who are NOT ALLOWED to ask abt the legal citizenship of someone they arrest!  Although, there are those arrested & deported who return illegally only to commit additional crimes ... & you wind up with a dead cop (recent events here in Houston).  Especially due to the political correctness that is rapidly ruining this country & the career politicians who won't do a dayumed real thing abt any real problem, there is a fast-growing movement afoot ... www.FIREcoatition.com ... does not abdicate vigilante actions, but more, manipulation of the corrupt system to work as it should have from the beginning.  FIREcoalition is putting "Boots on the Ground" (I LOVE that!) in so many ways ... everything from reporting companies that hire illegals (yes, I specifically know of companies reported thru FIREcoalition & www.wehireillegalaliens.com & www.usborderwatch.com that have been investigated,  heavily fined & the illegal "employees" are detained & deported) to assisting the border patrol with patrolling the border.  We are in the midst of a governor election here in Texas; the politicians are trying to make this a non-issue (read Rick Perry, Bush's lackey).  There is one candidate who doesn't shy away from this issue or any other ... Kinky Friedman (NOT a politician).  He wants to put the Texas Rangers & the Texas National Guard on the border to patrol.  He's actually realistic enough to know there's no counting on the federal government for a dayumed answer.

Mexicans have been immigrating to the US for years. The job shortages started when immigrants came over here from India and the Middle East and when companies started outsourcing. Even worse, when the men  do come here, they treat women like shit. I've met plenty of friendly Mexicans. I have yet to meet a decent guy from India. Mexico isn't the problem.
