Most of them hang around the Home DepotI was walking along yesterday and came across a group of people who "appeared" to be immigrants. Where I live, that is a common sight, in fact, spanish is the predominant language here and yes...it is inside the contiguous USA. While I can't say for 100% certain, it's likely I'm correct since I deal with so many illegal immigrants all the time. You get to know.
Anyway...as I was walking past, I noticed two of the small children (perhaps 4 or 5), doing something I was unfamiliar with...
They put their hands under their chins and flicked their hands under their chins towards me...looking directly at me. I had a suspicion of what it meant but wasn't certain.... so I Googled it later. That's when I discovered that yep,....in Mexico and latin countries...it basically means "Fuck You".
If I had given them nasty looks maybe I could understand but I have many hispanic friends and even dated a hispanic lady for years. So this was simply the kids, reflecting their parents apparent disdain for Americans.
Perhaps the whole Trump thing? I don't know. But it doesn't feel right to treat others with respect, potentially PAY for their welfare and have them act like this.
It's not so much the children, but you pretty much have to know the parents condone it or they wouldn't do it...so I'm wondering if we're in for trouble with the millions and millions of illegals the Democrats have invited in over the last 25 - 30 years down the road?
Democrats believe they are building Utopia when in fact...the mounting racial divisions and cross race hatred seems to be on the rise.
Thoughts?
Why do you think that is?
Tha'ts where employer's go to look for day labor.
First time I ever hired an illegal, man knocked on my door and when I answered, he waved his hand at my yard and said "fi dol our" ($5. an hour)
At that time, it really didn't occur to me that he was illegal and if it had, I would not have cared. I said sure and a ratty old car at the curb exploded with people.
They did really good work and in record time. My Spanish wasn't very good at that time but we worked out a schedule. They would come, I'd pay them in cash and that was that.
I told my neighbor who, being a good christian, demanded to see their Green Card and next thing I know, he's telling me he can't come back. Every single Mexican I've known was hard working, much more family oriented than whites, really really good decent people. He broke my heart. I knew we would never use an electric mower we had so, along with a long orange extension cord, I gave it to them and wished them well. Never saw them again.
Spot on. We recently sold the family farm. Hundreds of thousands of dollars. Don't know if they are legal or not, most certainly, they use illegal immigrants as part of their labor force. I also have three sons. While in high school they spent the summer working in those fields with all the illegal immigrants and green card holders. They came away with two things, a work ethic that has resulted in absolutely unbelievable success, and a huge amount of respect for those hard worker immigrants. Honestly, I felt much better about them and their safety in that field, one of the most dangerous jobs in the nation, than working for some dumbass redneck at some fast food joint.
