Among the things that piss me off lately, illegal immigrants protest is on top of the list.
How to say,” If you are here illegally, then you shouldn't be here!” in Spanish?
I figure the protesters haven't got the idea yet because nobody has said it in Mexicanish for them!
The most outrageous part is when asked what they want out of this protest, the protesters don't even know.
They said things like,
"uhmmm..."
"uhmmm..."
"I don't know.."
"uhmmm..."
"...Open borders...maybe?"
They are not happy with the situation, but they don't have any solutions. So they decide to flood the streets, get the attention, and then let the white people solve it for them!
Typical Mexicans!!
Why do they think they are entitled to a green card just because they have been illegal for a long time?
It is like saying: I have been stealing from you for the past five years. You should be used to it by now. So why don't you just direct deposit the money to my account at the beginning of every month?
Why do they think American should open their borders?
It is like saying: Person A builds a nice little home with a front porch and a back yard. Person A also spends a lot of time building a nice rose garden, fixing the house and maintains the plumbing system regularly. Person A even puts up a nice little playground for his kids.
At the same time the neighbor person M shits all over his home. When the shits piled up so high that he has no place to sleep, he peeps over to his neighbor’s house and really likes what he sees. So he jumps over the fences and stays there.
When person A calls the cops to arrest him, person M protests and says, “There shan't be a fence. Jesus (or is it Confucius) said love your neighbors so you should open your fence and let my relatvies and me stay at your home!”
That’s basically what the protesters are doing.
So why haven't get a legal status after all these years?
They say they can’t gain legal status because they can’t find a job that sponsors them.
Of course, these jobs often require this thing called, ”Skills.”
If the protesters want to be legal, they should be busy getting themselves an education instead of marching down the streets waving American flags and shouting Spanish words.
They say they can’t get an educated because they are poor.
There are many Chinese that are born in very poor and remote villages in China but manage to have gone very far because of their determination of lifting themselves out of poverty. These are walking, talking examples for these illegal immigrants.
Also they say they need to be legal for their kids.
Illegal immigrants’ kids are citizen of US because they are born here. If they leave, they will have to be separated from the kids. Well, they get into this situation themselves, didn’t they? They could either leave voluntarily with the kids before the government kick them out and take the kids. Or they can serve as a good example for the rest of the illegal immigrants wannabes.
While the illegal immigrants trying to use the old Chinese saying,”法不责众.” (The law no longer applies when the mass majority of the people break it), I won’t be surprised if the government decides to pardon them. After all this is the country whose legal system let OJ Simpson run free on the beautiful beach of Miami.
Well, I am sorry. This case is very different from OJ’s. When 法不责众 applies in the past, it often leads to revolution because the legal system, the foundation of the state is seriously challenged.
In today’s case, the national flag won’t change color but the credibility of the immigration law will be lost, forever.
Someone is going to look me really strange in the eyes and ask me,” Has there even been any credibility when it comes to immigration laws?”

I absolutely agree with you. Being a non-citizen myself, I think this is absolutely unfair to us who try to do things in a right way. Although I totally dislike the immigration law, but these stringent guidelines should apply to everyone with no exception. While other people try so hard to find a job, find a lawyer, spend a lot of money to get these endless but meaningless paper work done just to get a legal status, these people just simply form a lazy ass protest group to have theirs granted. How would that make any sense at all??
I've got a Thai friend, a construction worker, who was here illegally. He came on a tourist visa and stayed for ten years! I was making fun of him, "So you've been on vacation all this time?" He's back in Bangkok now. His mother is old and he wanted to see her. Since he over stayed his visa he can't come back for a long long time.
Although I understand why illegal aliens do what they do, I agree with you. Personally, I'm a 'by-the-book' kind of guy. I recently hired a lawyer to deal with my wife's immigration issues. I can't stand people who take short cuts or break the law.
I think Mexico should cede some land to the US. Since we're getting all their citizens we might as well get some of their land. We should just move the border farther south. Mexicans are a strange lot. They're so proud to be Mexican but they all want to come to the US. Then they protest by waving the Mexican flag. It makes no sense.
I suggested my border idea to a Mexican friend. She thought it was preposterous. She said, "That would be illegal." I said, "So are they."
Update? Deported? :)
