Z33 on #17 & BMXer on #21(last note), most illegal immigrants don't get a tax refund like you or I, and the US govt. ends up keeping BILLIONS of dollars everyear just from that. Matt on #19 some immigrants do get paid "under the table" but that is ultimately the employers responsibility, the workers just want to get paid. I think a lot of the immigrants do speak and understand English, but there are also a lot of them that don't speak English for various reasons. Some are older, and when the human brain ages, it's harder to learn new things. Example, a normal child absorbs everything like a "sponge" they learn very quickly, like a language for example. But when a person gets older, its harder for them to learn a whole new language. BMXer on #21 I personally haven't seen anyone hang their flag above the US' flag. Perhaps its just a matter of pratiotism on their behalf. Like some people hang mini flags on their rear view mirror or put a sticker of their flag on their car, they're proud of their country, but choose to live here. I don't think they're trying to "diss" the country they live in. BMXer & 97Talon if the Native Americans shot and scalped your ancestors you wouldn't be here, so why should another human being be shot because the way you feel about them coming over. Their documents are in Spanish because that is their main language. Yes, your ancestors would be considered illegal immigrants today because they did NOT have permission from the king(if they're from England or Europe) to come over to the now U.S. Remember they were scaping the king due to his cruelism, wouldn't let them practice their religion, lots of taxes, etc, etc. Z28 the ones that get paychecks DO pay taxes and DO NOT get a refund. The ones that get paid under the table, that's the employers responsiblity. If you want affordable healthcare, go to Health Insurance, Medical Insurance, Individual Health Insurance Quotes and don't blame it on the immigrants, specially when the US govt. ends up keeping Billions of dollars every year. Z28, you don't have to do anything, like conform, sometimes you have to learn to accept certain things that you have NO control over, like the Spanish options and such, maybe because there is 11 million hispanics living in the US they have some menus in Spanish. Traction Issuez #26, as fars as your comment you cleary have some issues.
I never said I know it all or know all of the members' ancestry, I never mentioned that. My point is that most americans at one point their ancestors migrated here across the Atlantic Ocean, thats all. And don't you think the Native Americans got robbed of their land, they were there first.
