wow...i\'m stoked that people are listenin\' to my voice...doesn\'t matter to me if you agree or disagree with anything i have to say...it only matters to me that you all give serious thought to what people have to say around here...
it\'s been a long time since i lived, and tried to make a livin\', here in america...now that i\'m back, i am lucky enough to be a self-employed artist, who lives very simple, and has no desire to get rich...i just wanna surf and chase beautiful women

...so for me the whole argument is fairly moot...
i don\'t think that immigrants should be givin\' any extra consideration than any other human being...if you break the law, you must be ready to face the consequences... bein\' deported is not the worst thing that can happen in life...i know, it\'s happened to me abroad(of course, i swung it so that i got deported to monaco, so i must be blessed

)...
as has been said, the main issue is the problem of employers bein\' willin\' to hire illegal labour over there own countrymen...greed is a wicked thing...there are so many issues that stem from one source...were to start??? how to solve the problem in a decent manner??? i don\'t think there is a good answer...
@lunchbox: i agree with you, the whole world has been conquered at one time or another, and genocide is the major common factor throughout history...i have seen it everywhere...
i was not tryin\' to say that we should feel guilty, or tryin\' to use the \"we stole this land argument\"...what\'s done is done...i just understand why mexicans feel that they have a right to come here illegally(right or wrong)...of course, in my opinion, this only applies to the them in their minds...it\'s crazy when you see how they treat people from south of their border in mexico...i can\'t stand hypocrisy in any form...i don\'t think they\'re right, just that i understand where they are comin\' from...
i understand where you are comin\' from too bro...takin\' a hit to the pocketbook is never fun...
i just think it is a shame to see where the american mindset has gone...the idea that birthed this nation was a beautiful thing to a rebel like me, but now it seems like control is the accepted norm, instead of freedom...
cheers
