the biggest reason is money. and the fact that our gov't allowed this, something must be done.
it can be as simple as Wal-Mart quit putting up signs on shelves for both English and Spanish. When you create a culture of comfort here, who can blame those who come over here for a better life, getting COMFORTABLE and not even trying to learn English?
Quit making efforts to accommodate Spanish speaking people, quit having so many radio stations catering to said people, and quit lining the pockets of the beef industry.
Truth be told, you can bitch about all the people coming here and taking "our" jobs, but you're barely gonna see a white person in a plant working at a job they deem they're too good for, they rather be white trash and eating mayo sandwiches all day as Chris Rock put it.
and its all because the beef industry gets away with murder, they pay loads above minimum wage. You have a legitimate citizen working at McDonalds for 6 bucks an hour, yet an illegal immigrant working at a plant for 15 an hour. See the problem? Not only that, such plants may not even hire normal white people even if they wanted to work there. Thats discrimination is it not?
why is allowed then? money. Remember the Swift Co. raids? They just pissed off the wrong government official thats all. Because although they lost 85% of their work force, Tyson, Cargill, etc... all chug along with the Govt knowingly full well what goes on.
The gov't doesnt care, as long as the corporations like such make money pay their taxes, etc... The gov't however does have a problem with immigrants making all this money and sending it home to their family (which isn;t evil, just families looking out for each other), but not being taxed. and we know how much the gov't hates not getting a piece of the pie a la the internet gambling fiasco we are in right now.
Point being. Everyone at one point was an immigrant, from the English, French, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, African, Mexicans, etc... but everyone came here and was forced to learn English. That's the common denominator. The language.
So IMO, if you want to solve this, take the freaking signs down from Wal-Mart and any other place, etc... you get the idea, and shut down all those unnecessary radio stations, tv stations, etc... Quit making it "comfortable" here. Putting up a wall won't solve anything.
That's just our end. We're not all to blame, it wouldn't hurt if the Mexican Government gave a hoot about improving their own freaking country where so many people won't be eager to jump ship. Everyone knows a lot of immigrants are proud of their country they love it, and they are proud to show it, if it is as such, it stands that they are only here to make.... money. right?
I really think the answer is that simple. It won't solve everything, and its easier said than done, but at least do something. Doesn't seem like we do anything at all about it.
We're just worried about some big headed pitcher and his butt medicine practices and why his wife inexplicably needed HGH for a swimsuit shoot?
