La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for October 20, 2015

Ok. Not gonna lie, that was clever, even though I’ve read that latin Americans legally here are not big fans of illegal immigration (myself included).

When I was a young, white boy I picked beans and hops for extra money. it’s hard, low paying work. My mom ran a motel for awhile and we had lots of undocumented workers staying there, following the crops. It’s a hard life for them and white privilage and my third generation citizenship gave me a lot of perks in life. Maybe all American youth should have to work the fields for a summer or two to give them a taste of how unglamorous the life is. i didn’t have to worry about being deported or my family getting shot by some redneck ‘born American’.Incidently, read your history about the first immigrants to this country during the last ice age and think on how recent YOUR immigration was, whitey.

Many years ago, when there were no illegals, Americans performed all the menial jobs at low wages but it was enough for them to get by. The illegal invasion brought wages down to where American could not compete.

Those who promote illegals , without realizing it, are very anti-labor and doing the poor people in this country very big disservice.

‘You won’t have your names when you ride the big airplane, All they will call you will be "deportees"’

From Woody Guthrie song sometime in 1948.

I did not know that you are a racist. the term whitey…

Um, tallguy is white. This changes the context of his use of the word. Nice try, though.

Imagine two huge continents remaining in the stone age any longer.

This is a clear demonstration of ignorance. The Aztecs, for instance, were actually in the Bronze Age. And regardless of tool materials, many indigenous cultures in the Americas (such as said Aztecs) had highly complex societies.

Now the dropouts can just obtain welfare, Medicaid, food stamps, housing and buy cell phones and cigarettes while someone else pays to feed their kids.

Maybe you should talk to some actual poor and working-class people sometime. (And there’s a large overlap between the two.) You know, the ones who work three jobs and still don’t make enough to give their families a decent living because those “necessary jobs” you talk about pay less than a pittance. I’m looking at you, Walmart and McDonald’s.

And the next generation of illegals’ offspring will be on this gravy train too.

That’s right, talk about people as if they’re subhumans who don’t actually have aspirations. The children of undocumented immigrants are huge strivers. It’s just that people with attitudes like yours put up every obstacle to success that they can.
