[quote=jdlea;697550]First of all, ER visits are supposed to be handled in order of severity, so you should've been seen first.

Second, it's flat out racist that they were assumed to be illegal simply because they spoke Spanish.[/quote]

Racist. The word you use when you can't dispute a fact.

[quote=firstdown;697554]Funny how the news has ignored the violence at some of these protest. Instead they say the Tea Party rallies are full of hate and violence.

Ironic, isn't it.

So, by that logic, you just assume anyone whose native language isn't English is an illegal immigrant?

[quote=firstdown;697189]Well said and how have you been doing?[/quote]

I've been doing well, thanks. Just bought my first house in time for the tax credit. :)

The majority of these people don't come here looking to break the law or disrespect the country. They seek better lives for the children and grandchildren so that maybe one day they can have the freedom and opportunity to go to a good university, become a doctor, a moderator on a message board, or a scientist, or a lawyer, or a captain of industry, and so on.

Smart man. I replaced my windows because it was cheaper to replace them with the tax credit then it was to have the old ones painted. Enjoy your new home and that saying there is always something that needs doing when you own one is true. I actually enjoy doing projects around the house especially when it requires pulling out the power tools.

The only way they can come here and do as you say is to do it through the legal system. A person coming here not learning english and just working to send money home will not be the next doctor, lawyer etc... From what I see thats the majority of who is coming here.

My old neighbor and his brother both are sales reps for two different tool companies and they hooked me up pretty good. I now have a shed full of tools and its nice having the right tool to do a job.

Yeah I agree with you here. I think the are good people but the dreams that SS rattle off are just not a reality.

I know very few people who farm during the day and study law at night.

Buster is a blond and deserves only to be clowned and mocked. Unless you're feeling lucky today or make a habit of volunteering for root canals you shouldn't waste your time.

Buster, go fetch.

I think you seriously underestimate both the illegal immigrant, and more importantly,the ethic they teach their children. I don't discount that there are illegals who are criminals, but I believe most (more than 51%) are trying to escape a life of poverty, and see the US as a way to a better life.

As for "very few people"... I worked a 12 hour night shift 4 days a week and maintained a full credit college semesters to earn my Bachelor's in Computer Science, and at the same time saw many others doing the same thing. People come to America because of the promise of a better life, and usually are willing to work as hard or harder to maintain it than those got it handed to them due to their birth.

No I went back and re-read it you were more referring to their children grand kids.

I made two mistakes:

1)Siding with firstdown

2) hastily skimming through your post
