How come its majority of white people that protest illegal immigration

i see Obama just gave the illegals amnesty now. He is doing these things to get votes......and now we tax payers will be paying for the illegals to have things. Obama has got to go. The voters need to wake up, cus if they vote for this bunch again, they are hurting all of us, including themselves.
 
blacks could care less
mexicans dont protest
asians dont protest

white people continue to protest about it. its funny how they are scared mexicans are gonna be the majority hahah.


Did you take an extra 'Stupid' pill today?
 
zero, my ancestors came from africa they were taken by white people

they were herded up by black people, taken to the wharf,, and then they were taken by white people.. dumbass.

Is that your justification?

If it is, it is a weak one. The stories of Africans "selling" members of other groups is given too much emphasis. Some Africans came willingly, believing in work, and a good life in the US. Many were just captured.
 
NOT SO "Taz":

In the American colonies, the gap between the rich and poor was smaller than in England, and America’s poverty was not as harsh as England’s. General Washington initially discouraged servants and slaves from joining the army, but as the war stretched on, he recruited servants and slaves into the army, promising them their freedom in return for their service.

While the most famous of these disturbances were Shay’s Rebellion (1786-1787) and the Whiskey Rebellion (1794), armed conflict by small landholders, rebelling against elitist fiscal policies and unfair taxes, grew to be a common feature in the years immediately following the Revolution.

Poverty was a constant threat to a preponderance of colonial residents. Poor harvests, Indian wars, sickness and other difficulties were all too familiar trials that could plunge colonial residents into indigence. Consequently, the American attitudes concerning poverty were more benign than in England. Most early settlements had adopted the major elements of the English outdoor relief programs. The primary concern of these early efforts was directed to the plight of widows and orphans who were boarded out to neighbors, or in the case of older boys, put into apprenticeships. Relatives were given primary responsibility for their poor relations. Local relief programs were administered by town officials and paid for by local taxes.

Early American poor laws had some qualities that were unique. There was a strong inclination to keep the church and state separate. Local administration of indigent programs fell to the town or city rather than the parish. Self-help organizations and charities played a larger role in early America than in Europe. The private charities offered employment assistance, burial funds, and direct relief for widows and orphans. The first and most famous of these was the Scot’s Charitable Association, but similar ethnically based relief programs were common resources in the emerging cities. Local reliance on private charity to assist in the caring for the poor was a hallmark of early American relief policy.

While these are all interesting factoids of history, most of which I already knew, how is this at all relevant to the discussion?
 
And belief in Rule of law?

Europeans were NOT the first humans on the land that BECAME this country

Who said they were?

T seems to think so; more on SLAVERY:

In 1619 twenty Africans were brought by a Dutch soldier and sold to the English colony of Jamestown, Virginia as indentured servants. It is possible that Africans were brought to Virginia prior to this, both because neither John Rolfe our source on the 1619 shipment nor any contemporary of his ever says that this was the first contingent of Africans to come to Virginia and because the 1625 Virginia census lists one black as coming on a ship that appears to only have landed people in Virginia prior to 1619.[296] The transformation from indentured servitude to racial slavery happened gradually. It was not until 1661 that a reference to slavery entered into Virginia law, directed at Caucasian servants who ran away with a black servant. It was not until the Slave Codes of 1705 that the status of African Americans as slaves would be sealed. This status would last for another 160 years, until after the end of the American Civil War with the ratification of the 13th Amendment in December 1865.
Only a fraction of the enslaved Africans brought to the New World ended up in British North America-- perhaps 5%. The vast majority of slaves shipped across the Atlantic were sent to the Caribbean sugar colonies, Brazil, or Spanish America.

Your post about poor people "starving" in early America. And T's anti immigration fury. Causcasians are IMMIGRANTS to this land.
 
i welcome anyone that want come over and make something of themselves

the conservatives are scared mexicans are gonna take over

Point out the "mexicans" that are going to "make something of themselves", oh and while you are at it, point out the "mexican" that are carrying highly contagious diseases or parasites that are not common in this country (yet), oh, and point out the "mexicans" that drive drunk and hurt or kill people or don't have insurance, oh, oh, and point out the "mexicans" that are truly evil and are here to rape, murder, pillage the law-abiding citizen.

I will be waiting for you to get back to me on that, and while you are at it, point out the same for illegal orientals, europeans, south americans, africans (white or black), or from anywhere else in the world. How do you expect to control "health costs" when you allow diseases and parasites to spread, freely? How do you expect to keep citizens safe, when you ignore criminals? Who do you think pays for all those "gov't handouts" given to illegals (in the form of education, health care or other)?
