While i understand where your coming from, it's still a pretty big generalization. You'd probably assume i'm biased because of my wife, but because of her I've met and spent time with more illegals than most citizens have. And whether or not you beileive it, i know for a fact that 9/10 of the ones i know have been trying to become legal since years before they even came here. Let's take my wife for example, she was a surgeons assistant in Brazil and worked 60-70 hours a week there, and still made just enough that her and her son had to eat nothing but rice for two meals a day, Never mind any sort of amenities. During which she spent just under 10grand, and 4 years with lawyers and applications to get even a temporary visa. Which even after all that didn't happen. So instead of accepting an inpovershed life for her and her son, she paid another 5grand to get smuggled into this country. Yup, i said 1 5 grand. And she has spent almost another 5 while she has been here to try and become legal... which may I add, even though she isn't legal, she has an IRS tax ID number, and pays her taxes every year just like you or me. So again, i could see how people think the way that they do, but try to put yourself in a similar situation that my wife was in, and think whether or not you would have done anything differently. I still think that people NOT trying to become legal, or people that got smuggled in without trying to get approved for a visa, or people who even do both of those but DON'T pay taxes should be deported. I just think that too many Americans put all immigrants in the same category; and when that group of people are all looked at as lazy criminals who wanna take our jobs, and destroy our country it's really not right, and i think they need to me informed better. |

| ____________________________________ [May 2,2009 3:48pm - ouchdrummer ""] so, your point is that if you fall out of a vagina in a country with little to no chance of even a decent life you should suck it up and deal with it? |
| ________________________________________ [May 2,2009 3:54pm - BobNOMAAMRooney ""] Nope, if you fall out of a vagina in a developed nation you apparently have every right to be a petulant little bitch about immigrants coming to "your" country due to circumstances "your" government created in their nations. |
| ____________________________________ [May 2,2009 4:01pm - ouchdrummer ""] awesome. You can see how i misunderstood that though i'm sure.... and i totally agree. |

If this were to happen it basically becomes unfair. Why should they be allowed to live in the country just because they tried to do it legally but gave up and did it illegally? "Oh you had good intentions so you can stay here. The rest of you get the fuck out." Doesn't cut it. I've been in contact with many illegal immigrants and have no problem with them (except maybe their music) and have never had a job stolen from me by them...but a crime is a crime. |
| ____________________________________ [May 2,2009 4:06pm - ouchdrummer ""] Because if i remember correctly, the declaration of independence DOESN'T say "All men that are born in the US are created equal." And again, sorry i misunderstood ya, it's just that immigration is one of the topics on rttp that I am usually totally alone in my opinions about. |
| _____________________________________ [May 2,2009 4:11pm - the_reverend ""] I "tried" to drive 55. but fuck it, I give up! I just can't drive 55. |
| ____________________________________ [May 2,2009 4:14pm - ouchdrummer ""] martins, do you understand that "trying and giving up" as you put it really is more like Trying, not succeeding, then accepting the life of a bum? You might think if you keep trying you can eventually get in, but that's not true. Without relatives here, you'd have to wait almost 10years in some cases, and even then only have about a .5% chance of getting in? At which point your children would have had to go into prostitution to survive. I'm not exaggerating here either, that's what it comes down to, life or death. And if you think that when the people fail at attempting to get in legally they should just suck it up, and live a life with conditions that our government would deem unfit for a pet, or just die off, your not only cold hearted, your delusional. You'd do the same thing. |

Have we touched the irish/italians coming over to the US by boats(if they would've been a fence they would have done it the same way, they are the real wetbacks), stealing the jobs for the newly baptized Americans( English, etc..), let alone the rightful owners don't even bother to claim what once belong to them(Native Indians), for their Uncivilized ways, who are we to judge? We are all immigrants, one way or another, don't beat yourself up by this, just take it and let it go, freedom of speech or ignorance, you decide your side, I care less, either way we'll never get along so the shit would always be the same. The point? There's no point, ask your foreign family(uncle,grandfather,etc..) about advice... |

| ______________________________________ [May 4,2009 10:53am - JustinSteele ""] No one has brought up the complete lack of desire to seal us up from those nasty Canadians. I wonder why? Maybe because they have primarily white skin and frankly, most have no desire to immigrate to the US. I'm sorry but this comes down to the fear of brown people. Now, as far as Severin is concerned, let him stay on the air. You don't have the right in this country to be protected from being offended. We need voices like Severin to show us how ridiculous people can really become. He's a side show attraction and he appeals to the lowest of our sensibilities. If you don't like what is being said, use your right to protest and turn it off. If you really want him off the air, do it yourself and turn the dial. |
| ______________________________________ [May 4,2009 10:57am - the_reverend ""] FYI: the airwaves aren't free or free speech. they are controlled and licensed speech via FCC. |

You'd do the same thing. When did I say they should suck it up? You clearly have a bias here and that's okay but you have to understand that illegal immigration is ILLEGAL, no matter how positive the outcomes are for the "perpetrator." But please don't ever call me cold hearted or delusional. :D |
| ______________________________________ [May 4,2009 11:09am - JustinSteele ""] I don't know what that is supposed to mean. The FCC's job is to ensure that two frequencies are not being used at the same time or are too close to each other. They are supposed to regulate the industry, not content. We can argue over whether they should regulate content but that was never their original job. I understand that they have grown, however, it does seem that they have overstepped their boundaries. If we are going down that path, it does seem that the fairness doctrine would come into play: if you can regulate content (the arguement being that you need to look out for the welfare of the listeners) then many opposing points of view need to represented equally in all markets to ensure that people are receiving many different perspectives to not get an over abundance of one. Fart fart fart, poopoo. |
| ______________________________________ [May 4,2009 11:13am - the_reverend ""] I guess that you don't deal with FCC regulations at all. FCC does and has controlled content since it's inception: http://www.vorvax.com/fcc/history.html That's why cable doesn't go full blown on t&a, but gets away with more than network TV. Cable isn't controlled by the FCC, but if they went too far then they would. |

| ______________________________________ [May 4,2009 11:21am - the_reverend ""] I just deal with a lot of their rules/rulings. When you look at fines in the thousands and tens of thousands ranges for stupid things it makes you feel worse. |
| ______________________________________ [May 4,2009 11:25am - JustinSteele ""] The more enraging thing is how subjective these laws are. It looks like they were originally written to be interpreted as we go along so the contemporary culture could determine what is to be considered "indecent", but they have been so misused to essentially black mail stations into censoring their hosts and create an environment of fear for your job if you say something that is deemed "offensive". I own XM and am very pleased with the content and general lack of restrictions there in, but I can only assume that that will be regulated soon enough. Boo content restrictions, yay offensive shit. |
