I think the funny part was that he criticized someone for not speaking English, in a post that had sentence fragments and mis-spellings

Exactly, Jay, thanks for posting. I knew the Grubber wasn't all there, but come on, how could you not see humor in that?

I'm American...my roots are somewhere else, but who isn't?

That is exactly what America is.

The immigration problem is going to get worse. It's leading to a culture war of sorts. It's already leading to street wars. Latino gangs have taken over the area I used to live in Norcross Georgia. The graffiti is everywhere. The schools are more about who's turf it is rather than getting an education. There were fights breaking out every day in my daughters old middle school. Funny they were mostly Latino females. 4 people in a Latino gang broke into a house down my old street and shot the entire family who lived there just to rob them. I won't go around there without my American Express Card (don't leave home without it 9mm).

The more educated people are the less trouble they cause and vise-versa. These people are poor. That is why they are coming here.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, illegal immigrants are not protected by the constitution or the bill of rights. They have no "right" to be here. They are illegally here. They are breaking the law. If you break the law you should be punished.

They should make our immigration policy word for word exactly the same as the Mexican laws. Go to Mexico illegally and you will go to jail.

To me the bigger issue is how we let this happen and what we are going to do from here on out. Because it has been easy for illegals to take up residence here, it has encouraged all kinds of them to find their way into America. Our systems are broken folks...plain and simple. If we couldn't stop them at the border we should have been able to stop them from getting jobs. If that had happened, it would have stopped the illegal influx of immigrants........you cant work, you don't eat......simple as that. We are not looking at the right solution here and that is how to prevent illegals from obtaining employment in this country. Like I said in an earlier post, our local paper.....the Charlotte Observer......has just completed a major in depth investigation of this very thing and they have hit the nail on the head on this one.

thats trite bs dude...... comparing apples to oranges... so friggin what? thats the way i type in a hurry. im not "critizing" anyone, I'm trying to point out something.

some of you have taken the stance of taking this personal, if I took it "personal" evertime somebody made an American Native Indian joke/comment/subject issue, I'd bee a jerk all the time........

I have to be 1,000% on target and correct in my job, if i want to type on a forum with frags and not worry about spelling all the time, thats my right and option and it certainly has not held me back from achieving my success in life.....

start the bashing?....its over.. well this is locked. put that in your peace pipe and smoke it.
