    I'm asking no such thing. It's not a matter of proving it, I'm saying that you are using a derogatory term in respect of a person that you could not possibly know the actual personal circumstances of. And that tells me all I need to know.

    Draining the local treasury and causing shut-downs.

    You're an Australian.

    You have know idea what this is about.
    Says it all.

    The term 'Anchor Baby' is far from being a derogatory description of what takes place in Mexafornia, Texas etc. Get a grip there, ant...

    The term 'Anchor Baby' is exactly a derogatory term. Please give me one example where it is not used in the pejorative?

    Anchor babies are a phenomenon.

    A negative one.

    It may be pejorative or not. Regardless, it's a problem.

    It couldn't be that the woman is of childbearing age and just happens to be in the US?

    Apples and oranges.

    You can't judge the reasons unless you,

    1. research the issue, and

    2. live in the U.S.

    It's a problem in so far as it's a baseless accusation. The "phenomenon" is that people have apparently decided that any/all/the majority of illegal immigrants in the US having babies is with the express intention of furthering their cause to stay there.

    A gross generalisation.

    Lily, I disagree when it comes to this issue.


    You've got to witness it first hand.

    I cannot comment on many internal Australian issues, because I've never been to OZ, nor lived nor worked there. (If I'd gone as a tourist/traveler I still couldn't comment on it.)

    I disagree. That precludes most everybody from commenting on most anything then.

    I think it depends on the topic in question.

    How so? Where's the line in the sand? How do you distinguish between commenting on the issue of illegal immigrants in the US and commenting on the Iraq war?

    Why does 'living there' qualify you for one and not the other?

    Agree with that, But it seems to make no difference if some have lived there or not, it just seems natural for them to listen to BBC and then they are well informed, unless they listen, know because they have lived there and know it is faulty info. then they scream about the fuked up media.

    Some think that because he saw a NY TIMES that he is an American political expert and really likes to stand in the front lines and run his mouth.

    They do not know about the wetback knocked up broads that the last days before she has a kid, sneaks across the border into San Ysidro, Chula Vista to have the kid in a US hospital that can not throw her out because she is having a kid but has no money.
    Then will not leave the USA because she has a kid born there and signs up for welfare paid to her for the kids support.

    You've seemingly forgotten that you don't live in the US either, blackgang.

    Nor do you live in Israel or Iriaq yet you're happy to give your opinions on both.

    This whole rationale is in fact a specious cop-out.

    You don't know that either. You're pretending to speak on the personal circumstances of a whole group of people you don't even actually know.

    Well Ant, we'll have to agree to disagree on the definitions and anaologies, then.

    This has been very hard on the State of California.

    It also affects school districts, which are financed by property taxes. And I am talking about illegal, yes, illegal students. It's now a law that property owners have to pay for them in the U.S.

    Righto, but I have to say I think that's a bit of a cop-out.

    Because without a definition to what you are saying then anyone can merely apply an arbitrary 'you don't live there so you don't/can't know' standard.

    Its basic economics. If America didn't require cheap labour the immigrants wouldn't come. The fact is US citizens are too fat and lazy to pick fruit or pack warehouses. Demonising people who come to the US to work is low, bar room, politics. Finding a way to register and include immigrants into the tax system is essential. Bushes immigration reform was one of the few decent pieces of legislation his administration has attempted.

    All you baby boomers need your arses wiped by government Health Care and the low reproduction rates of generation X means that their just aint enough tax payers out there to fund it. In order for America to expand and compete it needs lots more migrants but the xenophobic, racist, bigoted nature of Americans will once again be their own undoing.
    They champion falsehood, support the butcher against the victim, the oppressor against the innocent child. May God mete them the punishment they deserve

    That actually touches on an interesting point.

    I've always wondered that if it were possible to remove each and every illegal immigrant in the US by simply pushing a button for example, then what would all these people who complain about them do?

    Would the ones that claim they steal their jobs then happily go out and take a minimum wage job? Would the ones that claim they are a bruden to society then happily pick up the trash, clean the sewers and generally perform all the mundane and dirty jobs that need doing?

    Mmm, I wonder...

    But you are just a little wrong the MD.
    A lot of em never work, never look for work and would pay no taxes if they did.
    There are a lot of them that do work, but the majority do not, altho that do sign up for welfare and aid programs and receive a goodly amount of money, The illegal aliens cost Calif Billions of dollars a year, and that same is true of most states, all states I would say.
    A sister of my Mex wife slipped across the border with 3 kids, lived on welfare in the outskirts of Los Angeles for a couple of years, went back to Mexico, got knocked up, went to Calif and had the kid, started drawing welfare on the kid but lived in Mexico on the money,, that happens a lot even tho it is against the law to do it.
    The bitch I was married to got a fraud visa to come to Calif, went back and snuck one of her kids in, went on welfare, I was divorced from her, but they could not deport her because she had Catholic charities lawyers and a free immigration lawyer on her side, I pay $750 a month child support for my kid and she has been there since 1997, and they are still saying they will deport her and the lawyers run down and have it set ahead. she is in hock to the ER in the one hospital for $10,000 that they had to eat and all mex do the same thing, most ERs in the hospitals have had to close.
    These things are not known to people that do not live in the USA, so as MM said, if you do not live there or have not lived there,, there is just a whole lot that yo do not know.
    But you can find out on the net.

    Does anyone have any information, from US government sources, on the rights of illegal migrants to claim welfare in the US (no blogs please) and the amount of welfare claimed by such people? "Mexican" bashing may be a mob pleaser for certain politicians but they should look very closely at who mows their lawn or serves their food at fancy restruants.

    The point is the difference between legal and illegal immigration.

    With legal immigration there is control - no criminals get in, no HIV positives, no druggies, no never do wells. There is a record of who these people who 'cut our lawns and serve our food" are and where they are.

    We keep control.

    With illegal immigration - there is no control and it looks like - from the massive rally in Los Angeles last year - the illegals are in control.

    Isn't that what government's are for - to protect it's citizens from just such a situation they find themselves in now - illegals in control?

    During my last month in the States, I personally worked with several illegal Mexicans, none of which could speak English. We got paid every Friday - cash - no worker's comp - no income tax, no nothing. And we weren't cutting grass or serving food. Theses illegals were taking jobs that were traditionally done by blue collar white men. Meanwhile, while I was an employer in another part of the State in the same business, I was paying my workers - white guys with families - worker's comp, SSI and taking out their income tax and sending it to the same government that was doing jack all about what was going on in the Southern part of the state.

    Sound fair to you?
