The Carolinas have the largest rate of growth for Hispanics. I wonder how Cinco de Mayo will effect the voter turnout tomorrow (hangovers).

" Much of the continued growth in the state's Hispanic population, according to the census figures, can be attributed to women. More than 275,000 Hispanic women resided in North Carolina as of July 1, an 82.3 percent increase since April 2000. "
275,000 Hispanic women = like two million seven hundred fifty thousand babies.
hm, looking at the style of clothing, I would guess this is from the nineties ( couldn't read the year at the bottom of the charts ).Kmarion wrote:

I am pretty sure the local male population won't mind.
and btw, how did a thread about gangs in LA turn into a thread about mexican immigrants ? The Foxnews piece didn't even mention mexico, if I remember correctly.
Right so the solution is to import poverty.B.Schuss wrote:
As Turquoise said, the root cause of immigration is standard of living. If those were on comparable levels in mexico and the US, there would be no need for anyone from mexico to come to the US to improve his/her economic situation.
Illegally .. . This type of reply is common practice amongst those who would brand people immigration haters because we want them to obey the laws of our land. Despite the fact the United States stands head and shoulders above the rest of the world when it comes to accepting refugees from other nations (legally).B.Schuss wrote:
It's kind of ironic if you think about it. You have made America famous for being a country were anyone can make it. And now you complain when everybody wants to try ?
So we take a big steaming dump on those who have done it properly? Part of immigration reform is looking at the manner in which we accept immigrants. But if we aren't enforcing current immigration laws what makes you think future ones would ever be enforced? I'm almost positive that German citizenship is even more elusive than American.B.Schuss wrote:
Yes, I know, all those people could simply apply for a regular immigration and citizenship/green card, but I have heard those procedures can take months, if not years to complete. It's understandable that those who are in dire need of cash to support their families won't have the time to wait for a proper green card ( if one is lucky enough to get one in the first place ).

I don't know about him exactly, but there is stuff that affects people where I live. When illegals come over here and get sick, they rush to the hospital, because they can't turn people away. But they can't pay their bills, so they just leave, after they have gotten looked at. They also enroll their children in school, while citizens pay for it with their tax money. Plus we have to hire bilingual teachers so we can accommodate them. But do they contribute to these kinds of things? No, it is the people who were born here or have acquired citizenship that pay for all of these things. Not only that, but crime rates are higher in areas of higher illegal immigrant populations. Where I live, we have to deal we the Coyotes, who smuggle illegals in. They also don't mind killing the very people they bring over, as well as people that live here. Then there are the ones they do bring over, that can potentially be rapists or murderers escaping to the US. I'd say that is all negative.Scorpion0x17 wrote:

actually, it isn't. Requirements are about the same in germany and the US ( a job, knowledge of the language, permanent residency for a certain number of years ). I would even go as far as to say the US naturalization process is a bit harder, as it features a citizen test, which we do not have in germany.KMarion wrote:

no offense, but that guy looks as if he'd better enjoy his retirement than lead a police department.

How many of what problems? These are people coming into our country illegally, you don't think they're going to bring there legally bought mexican weapons with them? And welfare for an other country? we're already supporting them.. It might be different if we weren't a landlocked country.Scorpion0x17 wrote:
RE: thread in general - hmmm... I wonder how many of these problems would be lessened by the introduction of a decent welfare system and tighter gun control laws (sorry gun nuts, but I just don't buy the 'the right to bear arms makes the streets safer' argument).

I"m really not sure if I follow that logic at all. As far as Welfare for a neighboring country when is the UK going to reverse all the damage it did in Africa?
8 years of uninterrupted residency right? Until recently you couldn't be a German citizen unless you were born in Germany.B.Schuss wrote:

Not yet, that is...
I agree though that it is all about enforcing the immigration laws that are already in existence. And I have never said that I support illegal immigration anywhere. But I can understand why someone would want to come to the US, even illegally.
The problem I see is that we have reached a point where some western countries feel inclined to limit the number of legal immigrants from certain regions in the world, simply because certain types of immigrants ( especially the poorer and less educated ones ) are regarded as a burden, not as an asset.
I know that we cannot fix the problems of other countries with regard to education, or opportunity through immigration.
But I also believe that it is the fundamental right of every human being to be allowed to better himself/herself through dedication and hard work, regardless of the circumstances.
And since birth rates in almost every major western nation have dropped under the magic number of 2,1 in recent years ( with the exception of France, I believe ), there is no denying that we need immigration. Legal, of course.
But I also believe that it is the fundamental right of every human being to be allowed to better himself/herself through dedication and hard work, regardless of the circumstances.
I understand the will to migrate also. But like anything in life, what you are willing to accept (legally) sets a precedent for the future. It's hard to work with a nation that's is unwilling to host their own people.Legal, of course.
