46. Filthy Screw:

“In Guatemala, there are natives who have not assimilated to the dominant Spanish language/culture in 500 years. They seem great prospects for assimilation to English language/American culture. And they’re coming here now!”

This is true. Many Guatemalan Indians retain their culture and that’s what makes Guatemala an extremely attractive place for tourists. But I don’t think that the pure Indians are coming to the USA, it’s probably the ones who have assimilated to the Spanish culture, which is very close to the American culture.

“So overall, immigrants are still assimilating on schedule”

Hmmm. The Bosnians who have now been in our region of the country for going on 10 years are still stealing vegetables from the old timers’ gardens and doing open-pit bbq’s of pigs (after butchering them in their yard)….

Glad to know that they’re “on schedule” or who knows how long this could go on.

Seal the border now and enact retroactive deportation for those more loyal to their ethnic group than their nation…including reporters.

Hey Ruben, No mention of the cost of illegal immigrant Anchor Baby breeding in your propaganda. How can unwed teen parenting for welfare benefits and the right to remain in American be good for our society?? The result is called the Latino Paradox. First generation Americans (Latinos) end up in violent gangs and prison in higher numbers than would be predicted. Just hope no one you love is victimized by the horde of angry unparented offspring of illegal immigrant teens.

WE’RE ALL MISSING THE POINT… AS LONG AS DROPPING A BABY ON AMERICAN SOIL ENTITLES THE BIRTHER TO RECIEVE FREEBIES AND STAY ON LEGITIMATELY THE PROBLEM GETS WORSE!

We need to stop rewarding illegal and socially destructive behavior FIRST!

Why not enforce all our immigration LAWS LIKE MEXICO does…then prior to deporting all illegal guests in this country send them to a STATEHOOD SEMINAR so they go home and agitate in their native country for joining the great American union.

-when we say illegal immigrants don’t pay taxes when, actually, they pay their share of sales, property, and even income taxe That´s a pretty strong statement on the basis of just one little study, which is one of Ruben´s little predilections. On a flight from LA to
Panama last week, I sat with an illegal alien/business
owner. He told me that he is making a fortune in LA with
his car repair garage. Even with the recession? I asked.
In LA, he responded, illegal aliens prefer cash deals for
most transactions of this sort. Ruben, does your study
account for that? There are whole slices of city economies
that never reach the long arm of the tax system. Many are in your precious California. You don´t need a study, Ruben. Walk through E. LA and see the real illegal economy. Only an ideologue or a fool could reach the conclusion that it pays its own way.
