Some ignorant, unhappy, xenophobic photographers, ever on the alert for the next thing to fear, like to position themselves as piñatas. It's probably nothing to do with photography, these things rarely have anything to do with the subject matter of the posted groups and there have been a fair few racist posts here. -- Paul (Wake up the dawn and ask her why) ------------------------------------------------------ Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |

I think that we agree. It's fortunate that the U.S.A. doesn't border some country other than Mexico, such as, umm, Poland? There may already be the odd, unhappy photographer or painter considering sending his "My Struggle" to a vanity press, modestly thinking that it would contain a solution to the problems of the modern era. |

Why do people fear anything that is different? It's not Mexicans (or anyone else) coming here to work that's a threat. It's people coming here *ILLEGALLY* that's a threat. Why can't you be honest, and admit that it's *ILLEGAL* immigration that's being discussed? Tell me, have you ever been guilty of speeding or dropped a piece of paper on the sidewalk? Yes and I've gotten speeding tickets and I've went back and picked up the piece of paper that I've dropped. Have you ever lied to someone? Sure, but I never did so in a way that broke the law, although I have broken the law as almost anyone has. So what is the real problem? Why are those who come into the US illegally in order to get a job more of a problem than someone who risks my life by breaking the speed limit or who cares so little about the rest of the world that they dump their trash on the city street? -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |

Why do people fear anything that is different? To say something like this only shows you live in an area that you do not think is affected yet, even though you are paying more taxes today because of it. It has nothing to do with anything being different, it has everything to due with being illegal, or are you saying that laws are for fools? Tell me, have you ever been guilty of speeding or dropped a piece of paper on the sidewalk? Yes, and I never ran from the cops either, did you pick up my tab for it? Did you offer me temporary housing? Did you offer to feed me? Did you offer to pay all my medical bills? Have you ever offered me a job and were going to pay all my costs related to that job? I can see nothing on that list that would automatically be applicable to an illegal Mexican coming to the US to work. Are you willing to share your wife or girlfriend with me? On my terms? It appears you have a much bigger problem than just your fear of non-Americans. The economic costs to America are great! Has already caused inflated housing prices, medical costs, loss of wages for Americans, loss of jobs both skilled and unskilled, loss of life, and a whole host of other things. You sir, are an uniformed American. -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |

... But they are not doing honest work, In my experience they are doing honest work and more of it than many of the people complaining. they pay no taxes, no SS, they work under the counter Maybe that is because of the law??? and they take skilled jobs away from honest folk. How do they do that? 40% at the minimum of our jail and prison population is made up of them, Where are your getting that kind of trash news. they drive cars without insurance and no drivers license. Maybe that is because of bad laws. Should you be hit by them there will not be full restitution, Maybe maybe not. I have been hit twice by good old native born US citizens, one never paid and the other only paid after I got a lien on her home. They abide not by the regulations to wash their hands before returning to work, Do you really believe all that kind of trash? hope your restaurants don't employ them, and those fresh across the border leave their soiled toilet paper on the floor for others to clean up. How do you know this, do you speed your days in restrooms watching?? They bring diseases long since cleared up in the USA back with them, polio, STD's, malaria, cholera, hepatitis, and many more. Yea sure. I only answered this on the remote chance that you are not a troll and really believe that stuff. -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |
