Some immigrants sure have gall

Charles James, Northglenn

Let me get this straight someone named Ignacio Ramirez of the Immigrant Families of Southwest Denver waltzes into our country uninvited, crowds our emergency rooms with sniffling kids, rips off taxpayers by attending our schools all the while demanding to be taught in Spanish, waves Mexican flags from cars declaring their allegiance to a foreign country, and now he wants to organize a boycott of the host country because he says his group is vital to America (“Activists call for statewide boycott/Weeklong action meant to spotlight work of illegals,” March 9).
Give me a break! Send in the National Guard and get these bums out of here.

READER COMMENTS

Welcome to Orwellian America. Some of these new immigrants have an ajenda that involves racism that will make your head spin.

Go you Utube.com and search for Aztlan. The crap these miltant latino punks are spewing IS THE FUTURE. They see it as revenge. Non-latinos will FEEL it as genocide.

6:24 and 7:32, your comments have it right. Some of these "new immigrants" aka illegal aliens are the most racist people ever.
by the way, it's youtube.com and yes do look at what they are saying about their precious Aztlan. It's disturbing and absolutely disgusting. They care nothing for the US. Nothing.

One thing they do care about, besides themselves, is the economic bennies provided by American citizens. That's mainly why they're here. To take.

My first experience with the vile, nasty racism of those mojados was in Albuquerque, a city that teemed with violence toward anybody who happened to be white. Back then they were referred to as "chicanos." I lived near the state university and never saw a policeman in that barrio. Anything they couldn't steal they would destroy. Pueblo is a continuation of the same crap, where nobody white better be caught trespassing on the wetback turf of the East Side after dusk.

The political correctness guardians would want us to believe that even the term "Mexican" is racist and we should be very cautious to avoid that term. Nowadays we have to say "Hispanic" as if they migrated here from Spain, or "Latino" meaning that perhaps they have some connection with the Roman Empire.

They bring their barefoot, cock-fighting, quinceañera, low-rider "culture" here, using Cinco de Mayo as another excuse for gang-banging, driveby shooting, and sub woofers, and have the cojones descarados to demand handouts. Forget trying to communicate with them in what's supposed to be their native language, because they'll look blankly at you and see nothing but a white face.

As catholics, they don't have the foggiest idea about birth control.

We, too, have turned into a "turd-world" country and it's too damned late to clean it up.

The only thing the boycott accomplished was to prove that week, the shoplifting went down, traffic was better, and the illegal aliens were not missed. Please have him organize another to help prove why we don' want them here.

As for legal immigrants, welcome.
As for Illegal aliens, you should all be jailed then deported. Go ahead. Boycott this entire nation permanently. Go back to your own home nations and demand rights from your own government. See how well they treat you.
But don't ask me to support you with one more dime of tax money, because I can't even afford health insurance or more than 1 new pair of shoes each year.

I think Americans need to start boycotting Mexican bisinesses and stop vacationing in Mexico.If the businesses here saw how much they need americans for their businesses to survive maybe they would stop protecting the illegals.We can do this one small thing and make a loud noise.Stop eating and using any mexican business, NOW!

As a legal alien, let me share some thoughts with you.

First off, the immigration process is long, expensive, and so filled with bizarre rigmarole and bureaucratic hurdles that is just an exercise in insanity. Documents get lost, have to be resubmitted at a fee many times, and then you get told that your fingerprints have expired. There are quotas and other hurdles that make no sense at all. Not even to the INS.

Secondly, go read “Confessions of an Economic Hit-Man”, you will come to understand that the US has been undermining the economies of these countries for years. One of the objectives is to turn them into labor pools for cheap workers that can be used to send work to, or …

Thirdly, companies in the US advertise and encourage them to come here and tell them how they will get free medical, etc etc.

Ask yourself this, who is employing them, and what happens to the tax supposedly deducted and turned over to the IRS?
If laws are being obeyed, then SS, Medicare, and taxes are being collected for each of those illegal workers.

Start,

We need to boycott all Businesses that hire Illegals and those that can not communicate in the language of thier Customers....

I am starting with BURGER KING.
Had problems with my order in the drive up window. To handle those problems, the "manager" proceeded to handle my issues in Spanish. When I stated that English should be used, I got more Spanish and some nice little jeers. Long story short, I placed a call to Burger King and they are "working on it". Well I am working on it too. NO more Burger King for me. Ever. Let upper management know you do not accept this as a CUSTOMER.

The fast food situation is ridiculous. I dont understand how it takes 5 min to serve a cup of coffee. Place under the nozzle and pull a lever. Should be fast, as in the fast food label.

Posted by on March 30, 2007 11:30 AM

Start with the businesses and once the jobs for Illegals dry up, that will help deter others from coming. Get our borders secure, now.
Write your Congressperson and let them know that we are not going to put up with it anymore.
Taking bets on when it will be Illegal to say the word Illegal

Posted by bwr on March 30, 2007 12:18 PM

bwr, me again, the friendly alien.
If you want illegal immigrants to stop coming then:
a. boycott companies that employ them and pay the higher prices
b. tell your representative to get laws passed and enforced that makes employers pay hefty fines if they employ illegals.
c. tell your rep to stop the disruption of the economies these people are coming from.
d. start the process of an immigration policy that actually makes sense.

Posted by on March 30, 2007 01:33 PM

Alien think I have most of it but here goes again
1 Yes
2 Yes
3 Think those countries are doing enough on their own that my rep has little affect of anything in that arena
3 Yes agree. Right now until can be cleaned up I say put strict limits right now.

Adding 4. Penalize those countries that are allowing Illegals to cross our borders
5. Raise the fines and penalties of Illegals coming over the borders(both land and sea)

Posted by bwr on March 30, 2007 02:32 PM

Go to NumbersUSA.com. You can send faxes to the Senate, The House, all of our reps here in Colorado. Numbers have the letters already to go you just press a button or you can write your own letter.

This is FREE you will not be charged to send faxes to anyone and everyone.

We need ALL Americans to fax these idiot law makers concerning Illegals. Just DO it!! I agree with the boycotts of fast food joints.
I will do my part!

Lets say you have a town with 3 employers and 100 citizens needing jobs and there are 95 jobs to go around. 5% unemployment. Lets add 17 illegal aliens who say they will work for 1/2 of what the citizens will work for. 2 of 3 employers decide to go that route and fire 17 citizens to hire 17 illegals. Instantly 22% unemployment. The 2 business owners make out by getting more labor for lower cost but the citizens are outraged because citizen unemployment has just trippled. Are the unumployed citizens racists because they refuse to live 17 to a household in order to hold a job that pays 1/2 of what it used to?

Posted by Jay on March 30, 2007 03:23 PM

Those citizens would be misguided in blaming undocumented workers.

Blaming the workers isn't going to change anything.

We need to work together to create a Comprehensive system which would put all the workers on an equal playing field. This is why the STRIVE Act guarantees that employers will have to pay immigrants the same amount as native workers. This ensures that all workers have the same rights and are competing on the basis of their skills and experience.

What confuses me is how we can be so hateful towards those who come to
the US as their very last possibility for survival, who come here
because our economy has exploited theirs, creating disaster in local
communities to our South and gaining significant profits for corporate
giants, money that will never trickle down to the people in poor
countries, nor the poor in ours..
I just can't imagine how we can turn such disgust towards someone who
has spent four days with a single gallon of water in the Arizona
desert leaving behind all of his or her loved ones so that they might
have the chance to eat. I don't understand how we hate this individual
in lieu of the free trade agreement that made him or her along with 2
million other farmers in Mexico bankrupt because we started importing
unfairly subsidized corn. I don't understand how we turn to this
individual and call him or her a criminal but don't look at
corporations and U.S. policies that perpetuate such injustice.

Posted by Chandra on March 30, 2007 03:43 PM

As others cut and paste, so shall I

You mean if we just Cared a little bitttt more? If we had a heart?
I dont hate illegals. I do hate what they, the corporations and those that support both are doing to this country.

I dont think that these letters of Love Kindness are going to those countries that you speak of Chandra?

Seriously go to Numbers video on Yahoo regarding Immigration. Heck only believe a portion of it. What do you suggest then? Who is going to love and care for us when we cant support ourselves? Canada?

Yes Care helps but must have some common sense and Solutions that work within our realm of politics.

Stupid verbs.

So be mad At George Bush, Diana DeGette, Mark Udall, Salazar (both), and Perlmutter. Call Their offices and express your discontent.

Don't overlook law entorcement. The cops are frightened, lazy, and CORRUPT. They will not fairly enforce our exisiting laws. Cops are generally a sacred cow (photo essay for the one who did not buckle his seat belt) that get a free pass when not doing their job. Cops are huge part of the problem.

Have you been to any fast food establishment lately? I tried Quiznos, Arby's and McDonald's. At all of these fine establishments, I was greated by a non-English speaking person on the intercom. A simple order for two, was completely messed up because the employee couldn't understand English. I give up - not going to any place that has a Spanish speaking illegal on at the counter.

Posted by MI on March 30, 2007 06:05 PM

First, they are illegal aliens; plain and simple. They are not any of the politically correct terms of "illegal immigrant, undocumented worker, undocumented migrant" etc, etc, etc.

Second, it is illegal entry, as immigration is a legal process.

Third, since the PC can't figure out what to call people with Spanish surnames; I propose Hislacano/Hislacana (HISpanic, LAtino/a, chiCANO/A), or simpler yet...brown people. The term brown people is no more racist than black people, white people or red people.

The only good illegal alien is a deported illegal alien, REGARDLESS OF THEIR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN. This too is not racist; but the rile of law.

Posted by QBT on March 30, 2007 07:01 PM

Get the House to pass resolution 4437, calling for enforcement of current laws.
Get the Senate to pass a similar bill, then make it law.

Anonymous 11:30 A.M.
It took the Mexicans five minutes to get your coffee because they had to pee in it first.

From what I am hearing from my Mexican American friends the illegals "alter " the foods they serve to us whenever they can.
The Taco Bell in Boulder recently fired an illegal for taking a dump in the refries.

Eat up everyone!!

Posted by ME on March 31, 2007 08:08 AM

Chandra and Piper need to get their heads out of their bleeding heart backsides. Bush's,Kennedy, McCain's comprehensive immigration reform as it is written is AMNESTY!!

The illegals are so racist against black and white American's it is unbelievable! They refuse to assimilate and learn the language. They bring in diseases.
They commit crime after crime. They are decimating our schools and health care systems. The businesses that hire these invaders are anti-American greedy scum.

Build the fence all along the Mexican border with the USA. Begin deporting them even if it takes five years to get the job done. When the majority are back where their loyalty lies, bill the Mexican government for their medical care and schooling.

If any of you want to call me a racist for my comments....first show me proof that my accusations are false. Tell me their are no children of illegals inundating our schools.
Tell me that 47% of the prison poulation is not illegals. Take me to the emergency rooms and show me there are no illegals packed wall to wall at times. How about the courts? Show me construction sites, fast food places, cleaning services that are not packed with illegals taking away jobs that belong to American citizens. I could go on and on! The proof is undeniable!
You pro-illegal, open border advocates have only one lame argument to offer and that is to call people like me a racist. The old tired, worn out race card is all you have left and no one is buying it anymore!!

Charles James complains about a single legal immigrant.

Then on the basis of the conduct of that single legal immigrant he concludes: "get these bums out of here", presumably referring to all immigrants, legal or illegal.

Did Charles go to school in Denver? If so, the schools are doing a much worse job than I realized in teaching students how to think.

Posted by Truth on March 31, 2007 09:04 AM

T: "The old tired, worn out race card is all you have left and no one is buying it anymore!!"

I don't know about the race card, but it looks like most people are not buying T's position. While the different polls are inconsistent, I haven't run across any in which a majority of the American people agree with T that we should undertake to deport all the illegal immigrants who are here.

Here is a recent poll result:

"A majority of Americans would support the idea of offering citizenship to illegal immigrants already working on their soil, according to a poll by Gallup released by USA Today. 59 per cent of respondents believe the government should allow these persons to remain in the country and become American citizens," I think the hate-filled comments such as you see here do influence people: to reject the comments. They are antithetical to the mindset of most Americans. There are good reasons to stop illegal immigration and good arguments for deporting some of those already here: none of them involve the kind of hate that is eating up people like T.

Perhaps T should modify his comments to read "people of my ilk".

Posted by Truth on March 31, 2007 09:20 AM

Hey Truth, Who is sponsering these polls you speak of? La Raza??? If you actually believe some of these biased polls you are naive as they come.

T. challenged all of us to deny his/her accusations pertaining to illegals.

All he or she gets is name calling and hateful comments. Par for the course I'd say.

What is your name Truth Alejandro??

BTW Truth DENY the accusations!!

The polls I see and know something about the majority of American people want these "humans" out of this country . What planet are you on.

Posted by ME on March 31, 2007 09:46 AM

Yo Judge Joe: Wow! If only I could align my words as you do, I'd feel gifted. The only augment I can offer is the Catholic Church will villify your letter. It seeks the illegal immigrant; it needs to fill its diminishing pews; it needs more in its collection plate to pay for the conduct of its pedophile priests. And now, I will revisit your letter, copy and paste and save unto my USB. r22037yahoo

ps: Blame the pope for the birth control. He no playa da game so he shoulda not maka da rules, but he maka da rules and the ignorant deluded people comply.

Well, Truth, out of thirty two posts
here, you're one in two or three who are pro-illegals. So, it would seem the TRUTH is; you are dead wrong.
