Will You Accept This Green Card?

61. To #47

Your the worst kind there is, you sneak into out county and then demand what we should or should not do and as of today it was reported there now are over 40 MILLION mexicans in our country, OVER half are still illegal.

You come here and steal moeny and food from American kids, you steal their classrooms, lie about medical needs your the highest in collecting food stamps and worse claim you own our country.

You all liars and have no intent do abide by any laws.
You claim your taking low paying jobs yet not only have the money to live in high cost area like Ca but travel all over the USA and yet ship home BILLIONS of American money back to the filty skank hole mexico

Add the FACT all of you are here to sell drugs to Amercian kids and then you whine like the filthy aholes you are that you demand American rights.

It is true about this TV show, it is been on the news several times and so clear you all do not hide the fact you will do anything to take over our home so its time we sent you packing or make sure you wish you never broke into our home like the crooks you are.

64. Dear "Go Back",

After I hit you with the cold hard facts, please take your ignorant ass back to Nazi Germany.

You say I should reference "Google" for facts (comment 51) that is the funniest thing I have heard all day. Maybe you should look back a your entry and then "Google" these words, punctuation and grammar. I mean after all your entry is trashing Latinos for being "least intelligant race of humans"!!!

So here are some things for you to think about...
With a reputation as hard-working and flexible, the number of Latino workers rises year on year. Between 1999 and 2003, employment of Hispanic workers increased by 27%. During the same period, employment of black workers was down 400,000. Only 7.7% of Latinos are unemployed, compared to more than 10% of the black population. Two-thirds of workers hired for new jobs in the 1990s were Hispanic.

Part of the reason Hispanic workers are so successful in the job market is down to the sectors they have traditionally worked in; sectors such as agriculture, food-processing, domestic service, gardening and construction. These areas have largely escaped the downturns and subsequent down-sizing that have afflicted some of the more industrial areas of large-scale employment, such as heavy industry and manufacturing. This has helped shield the Hispanic workforce from the worst effects of some economic downturns.

It's also true that the Latino workforce has always shown a greater willingness to relocate for work than most other sectors of the workforce, and sometimes will accept work for lower wages than other workers. These traits are particularly noticeable amongst recent immigrants, seeking to establish themselves in their new country and happy to be flexible to achieve this.

These trends are reflected in the fact that average earnings for Hispanic workers are lower than those for both black and white workers:

· Average weekly earnings for a Latino worker - $440;

· 15% less than blacks;

· 31% less than whites.

(Source: 2006 figures, from Business Week Online, March 2006)

However, Latinos do not just fill roles as employees. The number of Hispanic-owned businesses is growing rapidly, and increasingly Latinos are employers, further strengthening their role in the labor market. In 1987, there were only about 500,000 Hispanic-owned businesses in the United States. Today, there are more than 1.75 million, and this number keeps growing.

Latinos play a varied and indispensable role in fuelling economic activity in the United States. From their traditional role in high-manpower and low pay industries such as agriculture and construction through to starting and managing new businesses of their own, the positive role of the Latino workforce on the nation's job market is indisputable.

67. Obviously people do not realize that being married to a US citizen does not grant you citizenship, you still have to apply and go through the entire process just like everyone else. Things have changed a little since the 80's. Man the producers of programs like this are dumbasses!

69. OK, to all who said this is disgusting, THANK YOU!!! Considering all the problems this country is having with immigration, (courtesy of the birth control poster boy some call a president), it is unbelievable that someone would make or participate in such a mockery of a controversial national concern and label it as entertainment. I totally disagree with people getting married, (whether it's on TV or finding someone to do it for money), just to get green cards. I understand that options for immigrants are extremely limited right now, but there is no reason to exploit it in such an ignorant way. If people gave as much attention and support to the real problem instead of yet another mindless TV reality dating show, maybe something constructive could be done. Maybe this issue hit a nerve for me since I'm marrying an immigrant at the end of the month, (for all the RIGHT reasons). I see every single day, (through my fiancee), how difficult and stressful life is for people that come here looking for the same freedoms and opportunities that Americans take for granted, and wind up getting slapped in the face by our hypocritical government and the small minded idiots who support it. On a final note, may I remind those small minded people that think all immigrants that are in this country are border jumping Mexicans--Unless you are 100% Native American, YOU are here because of immigrants.

70. #68 .......... Jeezuz.

You said - "this good idea, just because person illegal don't make them bad or law breaker after all america belong to everybody not just american, all flag welcome here remember song this land is my land? good idea many immigrant come here and citizenship chould remain, long live mexico"

The fact that the person is ILLEGAL (as in NOT LEGAL) makes them a law breaker !!!!!!! Dah !!!!!! And all flags are NOT welcome here ..... this is AMERICA .......... AMERICAN FLAGS are welcome here. People from other countries certainly ARE welcome ........ if they do it LEGALLY. Read (if you can) ALL the words to that song you touted ..... "From California to the New York Highlands, etc....." It was talking about America .......... I don't see the word Mexico anywhere in that song.

As far as your "long live mexico" (which should have a capital M you moron) ......... if it's so great, why don't you go back and make SURE it lives a long time ? Because it SUCKS there, that's why !!!! But go back anyway and come here LEGALLY ......... only THEN will you be accepted.

My quote - "Anyone who thinks we shouldn't close and protect our borders should ask the Indians how well that strategy worked for THEM."

I am in California and everytime someone asks me why I don't speak Spanish gets the following reply - "Why don't you speak Finnish ?" That's where my grandparents came from ........... LEGALLY !!!!!!

72. When a Mexican goes to his local Mexican Government Welfare Office to apply for welfare benefits, what do you suppose they give him?

A map of the United States.

75. This is really rediculous.Just when one's thought that they'd heard it all..Whose the wise ass that came up with this bright idea.An illegal immigrant maybe?
If the immigrant that appears on the show is illegal,than I would think he could be arrested on the spot.We do not need anything else encouraging immigration.We are innundated with apprx. 12million illegals now ,and thats a conservative estimate.It could be much higher.Its not a joke.
