how do you know so many illegals?
|
I have lived in many different countries, always legal or on diplomatic status, and you do not complain about the inconveniences of any particular country. It is bad manners. My feeling was always that no one held a gun to my head to go there and, therefore, if I don't like it, I can always leave. This is the same way I feel about those who come to the US, where no matter how bad it can be, it is still a million times better than any other country, including Western Europe, then get the hell out. I also have no patience with those who make no attempt to learn English and I am fed up with having instructions that have to be translated into Spanish, Viet Namese, Korean, and 20 other languages. Learn to speak English or get the f... out. |
Hey! Look! You've just described the District of Columbia! |
Where the hell are you hanging around all of these illegal immigrants? I have several illegals in my extended family and it sounds like you know more than I do. |
the illegals I know are awesome - hard workers who work their a$$es off, make money (send a lot of it home) and keep their mouths shut. |
How do you know? Is this your assumption? |
They sound like good, hardworking future members of the low tax wing of the Republican Party! Or, even the tea party patriots! Oops, I think I got my lines crossed. |
And because you hate them, they complain because they know it will annoy you. Maybe we should get them to start posting here. They spell about as well as you do. |
A liberal wouldn't refer to people as "illegals". Some people may be here illegally; others may be undocumented or have their visa status run out, but no honest liberal would refer to people as illegals. And, the last I checked this was a free country where all people were free to voice their opinions. Were your great grand parents here legally? |
Actually the "tell" is even more explicit: when someone begins their post with some variant of the phrase "I'm as liberal as they come, but..." you know you're reading the words of a right-wing concern troll. |
It is so funny how people think they "know" you just by reading your posts on dcum. |
This. I don't like how some of the illegals are taking advantage of -- some work 2 jobs, day and night for the same boss. It's not right. |
And in the meantime, people expect our public schools to provide ESL instruction in each child's native language. Can't just provide instruction in Spanish because that would be discriminatory towards children from other countries. Have you ever thought of all the possible languages? In major cities, schools have students who speak Russian, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Mandarin Chinese, Farsi, Berber, etc. |
They're complaining about the food, too? Everywhere I go, they're the ones making the food! |
How familiar are you with No Child Left Behind? ALL kids--including non-English speakers--are expected to pass annual exams. If a subgroup of students--like those non-English speakers--has an overall failure rate, the school risks being named a "Failing School," and being closed. Of course schools are scrambling to ensure that everyone passes those tests, despite the tremendous drain on resources. |
