Immigration Resistance is Relative and based on a language culture War


It's all relative
immigration is an issue that is completely relative in fact it all depends on where your standing at any given moment



Immigration on New York City
Xplicitman is the only alien to recognize that Native New Yorkers are one of the only native
population completely locked out from Economic and Political power( aboriginees,palestians
Israelis) I can't think of any other city in the world were the native population has been
so disenfranchised..

Do native born new yorkers go to Boise or Boston and get the best jobs and political
influence fresh out of college that will alter the culture of Boise Boston Idaho or Anaheim
or Paris etc.

How many Native Born New York citizens work in Midtown or Wall Street City Hall
jobs really as a proportion of all workers in
competitive positions ?

so if you a native born Mexican American New Yorker you may have every right to feel
systematically disenfranchised by blacks white and other latinos from other states who land
here and get better jobs better housing and more control and say over whether clubs stay
open or bars serve liquor or whether you need liscence to dance in cabaret venues or whether
art is offensive ect.

This dynamic has demolished the new york nightlife it created the South Bronx ghetto and it
ruined Penn station for all those old enough to remember




Language

lets start with real life experiences

1. Once I was on the train I NYC and I heard this Black couple mocking this group of Latinos sitting across from them .. they were teasing the phonetics and speed and remarking on how rude it was to speak in another language in public .. which i don't know if that is the rudest thing since i use my favorite spanish and french words and phrases with
out really noticing when i talk with other multi lingual friends

but in just a few stops the Blacks left the train and the very same latinos now found themselves sitting accross from a group of middle eastern passengers who
began to speak in their native Arabic language. Soon the Latino group was mocking In Spanish the phonetics
and syllables in Arabic commenting on how rude it was to speak Arabic publicily on the train..



there is a war going on between languages. It's a war waged by self centrists who have a
shortsighted view of their own ancestry and little regard to others sacrifices and desire
to be apart from the US culture but apart of American prosperity ..


Then on mothers day I also saw
Other Latinos behaving in a patronizing and condescending to Mexican mom selling flowers with the assistance of her two beautiful children on Mothers day In The Bronx and i heard those children speak
English like the were from 90210



the second generation
I say this because i honestly think
nothing will keep these kids and many others from speaking English and being fully apart of the US social fabric

2. i dated a Spanish professor at a prostigious college (I have trouble with spanish conjugations) who admitted to me that he was anxious to see the day that all of America spoke spanish. I wanted to discover his emotional connection to the spanish language as he hails from South America an d looks more Native American than spanish .
He explained to me that much of his pride in the spanish language came from the fact that Columbus and Spain discovered America..and so America should speak Spanish. He also felt confident that a Spanish speaking US was inevitiable.
" You cant stop the catholics they don't know birth control"

I did mention the fact that a black colony (by the way this colony was annihilated by the incomming native americans..anyone see a pattern about this land or is it just me? ) and besides a few fossils there are very few genetic relatives alive today. This colony was located on the southern tip of South America nearly 15,000 years before native Americans emigrated from the ice bridge into Canada . I mentioned the Viking Polynesian and African artifacts and pottery that were discovered In the Americas that predate Columbus' voyage . I also reminded him that Latin culture began in greece and rome that they were recognized as far bigger contributers and influences to western civilization. (Democracy,Philosophy,Aqueducts,Automated Mechanics,Theater,the first ancient computer/calculator) Why had he no cultural identification with those empires which dominated the world far longer than Britain or the US


it seemed his historical identification began around the 1400's . I thanked him for his perspective


Real
consider native born Californian gays who had their marriage dreams smited by an Immigrant
governor on the same day that native Governor Mcgreevey "Ideal" marriage was proved a result
of accommodating societal discrimination


First lets get some red herrings out of the way ..People really aren't concerned that there
are illegal immigrants from Canada or Algeria for that matter because neither is having a
profound affect on our culture .. so I wont even waste another text on that.

its not just about security because we are not trying to spray fire over our Canada border


It's a change in Culture that scares Americans the language then the attitude toward
government and religion

However sizable imports of any culture that varies substantially from our own regarding
language religion etcetera will have a tremendous affect on the country



Economics
The argument that using people as indentured servants for jobs Americans wont do is almost too
disgustingly unethical and immoral for me to adequately respond to

but savage I'll beat you through it slowly for the sake for virtue

first it diminishes wages overall to have a sub population of worker..

all that wage growth and
cheap slavery right?


Or how about the fact that many americans and immigrants will work for a living wage if provided the
opportunity and information


Political Impact
Long standing policies have to be re-examined with major demographic changes for example are the new catholic immigrant Americans going to be as keen on funding the
removal of Israeli settlers to the tune of several billions of dollars more than
we send all of Africa and South America combined ?
will there be increased or decreased incentive to isolate Cuba
or invite Puerto Rico
to Rattle Russia or Befriend Britain


what are there priorities regarding Civil and marriage rights for native homosexuals or
Opportunities for native blacks and native americans considering how darker skinned people are treated in their origin
and native lands? Darker blacks face discrimination even in Africa

cant catch a cab in NYC well chances are it isn't a white guy behind the wheel




many Immigrants do read the new york post and listen to Rush Limbaugh and the
neanderthal gang


many are artists and inventors and hard working with unique perspectives and interests


are they accustomed to challenging and scrutinizing their elected officials the cornerstone
of a successful democracy?
are naitve US citizens?
But do they feel entitled and committed to rights many lost lives for
im starting to believe religious and language ethno-assimilation makes Blacks Jews and others feel like empowered Judeo-Christains

many minorities and majorities in this country don't feel the entitlement and empowerment necessary to
affect changes for their communities and challenge abuse of authority in the first and final free bastion

language is the gateway to a new world I speak and write Spanish and French well enough to live in Spanish and French speaking
countries for several months at a time and what i find most exciting about staying in a
Spanish or French speaking country is that it feels like you are entering a new world on so many
levels .. it feel as though one is a traveler of cultural dimensions each unique distinct and
novel. But whether in Folles Pigalles Paris or Recife Brazil I never expected the natives in
those countries to accommodate me in english, although many other English speakers do.




the hustle

If you admit you' are here just for the money then you admit to having little regard for the
culture of the city and/or country . Which doesn't strike
any American as very noble.

but survival is noble


Consider the historical implications of the US rushing to "Help" Iraq and "save them"
while Mexican Americans risking death and disease trying to escape a life of destitution ..
Has anyone considered how that is going to look from a divine distance?


The US prevents Mexico from making money when the Mexican legislature consider legalizing marijuana which would substantially increase their tourism and tax revenue considering
the very large percentage of Americans canadians and Europenas who consume or admit to consuming the drug illegally in the US where it's demonized in between Beer Vioxx and Trim Spa commercials

However our Free market Rugged Individualism Capitalistic Savior government threatens the Mexican government with sanctions. Yet remember
alcohol and toxic prescriptions and Mel Gibson are ok?


I have to write down some of these insane regulations on my hand so i dont forget .
Mexico should not have to pretend like it doesn't see our hands covering our eyes
Peek. If legalizing week prevent families from embarking on a deadly journey through the desert then a few high Americans on vacation is probably worth the lives spared .


Why not try to strengthen those democracies instead of letting our hubris turn them away
from what is a very good political and economic system?.(Chavezuela)



MacArthur Park May Day Melee
i thought blasphemy had no meaning but i think the police behavior was blasphemous against the depiction I want of our law enforcement and our nation at large

However The Mexican Americans marched!
Score for Gumption

From mY surveyes this is not a racial thing



existence ordained

for some reason God created blacks latinos whites and gay flamingoes_there is time and a place for everything
I don't have the audacity to insult or question his creation
when they insult gay and black asian latino and whites you insult God's creation and Nature's
vision for dead men's fantasies ..

Hey just have a good answer for it if they ask that as opposed to how much shrimp you consumed..


Choices are what truly define us (I know i didn't invent that but I'm working on something phenomenal)



Too Personal?
Everybody is their own racial cheerleader. Given the opportunity most of you will go on and on about how great it is to be italian black latino jewish... I'm mixed and emotionally suppressed believe me I'd rather know the statistical truth than indulge a personal assault
Alas i hear it all.

We're all mortal men people need to let go of these group-cult associations that distort and shape
ir-rationalizations. Try to find what you have to contribute. People use these rather shallow
herrings as a crutch to deciphering their own identity (Blacks,
Latinos,Hindu,Gays,Jewish,French) the tribal way of life is over and over for good ..
It just causes problems !!
How many times do you have to be burned?
I
believe God has bigger plans for all of us that extend past what we can do for our
race/ethnicity.. we need to make communication stream-less for the sake of humanity and evolution and not
difficult for the sake of shallow adolescent identification methods



i dont mind how much you love your own race i don't think its hateful behavior just juvenile and indulgent
i just think we should strike deliberate balance on how much time we spend loving in and out

it's so rational too
why be proud of choices you didn't make ? not only do you insult god creations you take
credit when you can.

liberals you should support immigration but also the empowerment of people who stand up to
corrupt governments to stop the harrowing and deadly refugee process
It's Too easy to abandon them for that to be the right answer
How can you put a band aid on a chainsaw massacre

but progress should support unity not further fragmentation for impractical or indulgent reasons. Evolution and unity are more efficient with one language. Claro que si?


Progressives On language
Besides it is one of the most effective tools for getting Americans past naive fundamentalism is the
power of the Movies Internet Books music and TV ..
Roots was an American evolving experience a communal experience
The death of Kennedy and The Cosby show
But in
english spanish and chinese? In different languages you enter a different world
Ed Sullivan and Philadelphia Madonna and dare I say it South Park made us less naive First! That is
significant Our culture has been the success that has attracted the world it certainly
wasn't only the actions of our presidents so culture is worth saving


From what i see there is a loss in translations
french movies spanish novelas don't convey the same experience in english and vice versa
remember the GM car for mexico Nova literally "No Go" in spanish

The Spanish language is not on any endangered list ..there will always be a spanish speaking country
i dont know if bilingual Multi lingual america or chinese majority america (very possible with an open door immigration policy- consistency is only fair no?)
would be that horrible but i dont
think it would be the same I dont think it would easy to have the same communicative socially integrative evolvement
and live in four language societies and if the motive behind it is lack of
interest in the culture then either the culture is failing or the law is failing

Onward libertarian soldier shoulder
so lets make the same sacrifice to speak one language here in the US the same sacrifice
that historically other Latinos and Blacks and Native Americans, French,Russian,Celtic ...

My Irish family had a language I never knew existed until i was in my teens .. .. I actually enjoy ethnic neighborhoods in NYC but Splitting the nation in half will slow evolution
Some of us Americans have lost the language of our ancestors forever


Disdain English the same way we all do with Slang and Southern Accents !!!


Now lets explore a hypothetical
IT IS very possible if we continue the open border for all system and precedent that it becomes economical
for 200 million chinese or 200 million Indians (Their native population number in the billions sans=without the assistance of catholicism-Wars can be costly) to settle in manhattans spanish harlem and
does Mr Gomez want to come downstairs on 121 street and lexington and see world of chinese food chinese language and
chinese stores from fulton street to 128 street . where would Mrs Gomez daughter find work?
To some extent that's expected in New York but in Austin?


love the culture love the hard fought battles

consider native born Californian gays who had their marriage dreams smited by the Immigrant
governor Germenator on the same day that native Governor Mcgreevey's "Ideal" marriage was revealed a product of hostile discrimination
ironic?
what is ironic anyway?
tiny people live on a tiny island and spend all of their tiny life times building a great
BIG wall between them

encouraging division encourages inevitable battles

Ultimately All I see here with this issue is the potential of unity and the consequence of division

so the verdict?
one language many people empowering the virtuous evolution
