No where did you reference the word ILLEGAL. So when you make a statement like that is makes you sound like a bigot. Note I said makes you sound like one... I am not calling you one. Let me make that clear.
Secondly you are not talking to someone living under a rock where Illegal Immigration is concerned. Having lived most of my life in Southern California (Coachella Valley) where the Hispanic population is over 50% and much of that being illegal immigrants. It makes me furious that they are given work and don't pay their share of taxes. That they get benefits that my children never were able to get. HOWEVER... just because they are in this country illegally doesn't make them all thieves or lazy. I will give you that there are some that are and keep in mind that there are many Americans that fall in the same category. I have found some workers in my pool when they were supposed to be doing stucco on the house. They were not illegal. No one likes to be taken advantage of... under any circumstances by anybody. Illegal Immigration is a growing problem in this country and It is frustrating and just plain wrong. But as I quoted you above... you didn't use the word illegal and no it was not obvious. And for the record most of the illegal in FL although Hispanic are not Mexican. Most are South American.
Now... why is it that you feel the need to attack and insult? I did not attack and insult you. I told you I felt that your statement was Ignorant. Not you in general. And if you feel you have the right to say what you want, then why is it that no one else can comment with their opinion..??? Wow I tell you it is good thing I don't get offended easily....
I wish you would calm down and go back to being that fun nice person posting here when we all joined. Not all of us hate you or are ganging up on you.. you need not be so defensive all the time. |
I don't care what i sound like to you or anyone else that doesn't seem to get it...OK? Ppl who are somewhat smarter did understand what i said and had no need to pick my post apart...what term is best for you, what should i say instead of mexicans? Illegals? Just because you say so? By calling my comment ignorant is most certainly an attack, what term is best for you? FRIENDLY FIRE? Give me a break, your post was an invite for the racist crew and that's what i now believe. Or do you expect me to believe you just wanted to say i am such a nice person? LOL...now you want all to say, yep azi, you're so right, RW is a racist, see? If you thought saying mexicans was ignorant, what does that say about me? Listen, i got your number and won't be calling anymore. and know this, i do no care who calls me a bigot, racist or what ever...so you can all stop trying.
