So, here is the problem they don't want to learn our language or our ways but, they want to take over, take our benefits paid by the legal hard working over-taxed taxpayers and any other thing they can get. Because of politicians and so-called-civil rights lawyers and lawsuits. I say if other people want our benefits paid by other people then pay the same price. That price was paid for in blood, sweat and tears. Like it's written "Freedom Isn't Free It's Worth Fighting For".

Consistant predictability from the left. Racism is likely the only business in America that isn't threatened to be destroyed.

A.R. You seem to carelessly throwing aroung the word racist, when I think you mean to use the word bigot...look the definitions up..they are distinctly different. BTW: Lisa, I too vote for your comment as the best I've seen in a long time. Black, white, hispanic, oriental, whatever........all are equal and deserve equal treatment as long as they are a legal citizens of America.

Unless you are a tourist, or are presently actively learning english, you SHOULD be ticketed for not speaking English. If you don't want to assimilate into American culture, go back to where you came from! Does this count as a rant? $20?

A R knows that it is a prevalent problem, otherwise A R would not have brought it up. They create their OWN stigma on themselves. Maybe they should get together and stop their own race calling and ban against their own and not support them! You cant have it both ways A R!

A R… I don’t see where Lisa said anything about race, color, skin, nationality or anything of the sort! Only you associated the undesirable situations with people who are darker or have black hair and Spanish last names. Who is the real racist here? Truth hurts, they must be racist! Un-American!!

Lisa, do you card them when you see them? because if they are only a tad darker than you and if they have black hair and if they have a spanish last name it DOES NOT mean they are here ilegally and when anyone makes the comments you made based on someone's skin alone THEN that makes that person a RACIST. ASSUMPTIONS won't get this nation or any nation anywhere. ICE is doing their job, getting the ilegals out, now don't go blaming all hispanics like if all of them are here ilegally, it would be like saying all germans are nazis!!!!

Let's be honest here, we do look at them different. We look at them with suspicion and resentment. We suspect that they are here illegally, especially when we see them come out of the packing plants in droves and trying to climb the fences to run when ICE shows up. We resent that they are here ILLEGALLY and taking advantage of services paid for by honest citizens or ones who are here legally and who followed the right channels to get here. We resent that they're taking jobs from American citizens. We resent that they're using our schools, health care facilities, etc., all without contributing. We resent that they get food stamps and low rent housing when there's lines of homeless, hungry people WHO BELONG HERE that can't get those services. We resent that they go to our colleges for free because they're a minority. We resent that they don't even attempt to learn our language. We resent that they're one day going to be the majority in our country - and it's not that far off. We resent that our government does nothing about it, instead they're focused on things like figuring out yet another way to tax us. I could go on and on. Segregation to the extreme of Latinos sitting in the balcony seats at the movie theatre? No, they don't have to sit in the balcony, not if they're legally here. If they're legally here they have every right to sit wherever they want. If they're not here legally I don't want them in the movie theatre at all, I want them to get their sorry butt back across the border where they belong, and to take their plethora of illegitimate children with them.
