Immigrants?


Just trying to figure out why anyone is referring to the workers at the factory as immigrants? They are illegal aliens. Immigrants are here legally, with paperwork.

Oh, Thanks for clearing that up! Gotta have that "paperwork".

im·mi·grant  -noun 1. a person who migrates to another country, usually for permanent residence.

Note that the definition says nothing about legal status.

The first European settlers to America had no papers, either, and yet they are commonly referred to as immigrants.

reply

they were all documented after the U.S.A. was established!

reply

It still does not make them illegal prior to them being documented. They were illegal to the native Americans.

Thank you for correcting that erroneous assertion. It always amazes me when someone like "free b free" is arrogant enough to school us all in something he/she doesn't really know.
We learned in grammar school about immigration and emigration and not only do I find it disturbing that he doesn't know what they mean but that he would be so denigrating of these people. However you feel about immigrants coming into the country illegally, you have to have sympathy for the life they lead here. The fact that there was no shut-off for the machine close enough to save the guy's legs is appalling.

"... you have to have sympathy for the life they lead here. ..."

I do? No. They were desperate to escape a hell-hole, which socialistic, corrupt-to-the-core Mexico has become, and come to the prosperous, semi-capitalistic United States (O, if we could ever achieve 100% liberty!) in order to make a decent buck. The solution to Mexicans' plight is for Mexicans to clean up their government and institute individual economic liberty in Mexico. The same goes for all the hell-hole countries in the world.

You can rest easy. What you saw was actually just a scene in a movie; that guy didn't really get his leg ripped off. You see, a leftist hack wrote both the book and the screenplay; he made it all up just the way he wanted it to be. Don't worry so much!

Mexico is not socialist. Some of the leading parties started out as socialist but have become capitalist liberals.

Right... because making the market economically liberal means that more of the poor would become rich... I'd love to take what you are taking.

The same goes for all the hell-hole countries in the world.


Translation: The same goes for any countries that are against US interests.

Actually it's pretty clear that "migrating" doesn't include illegal trespassing. You nuts love your misleading euphemisms.

reply

Gotta love my fellow Americans. They need everything spelled out for them. They are so worried that some viewers might not realize that some of the workers crossed the desert at night and were exploited by employers were in the country without papers.

reply

All white 'Amercians'--jews, italians, russians, germans--sans Native Indians, are immigrants.

reply

Actually, it is theorized that even the "native" indians came here quite some time ago. They were however here first. :D As for modern times, everybody who was born here, is a native, even those "white 'Americans'"

Employers who exploit these people are why they come here. so it's both parties guilty.
