Why not? Of course everyone came from the bottom but know 300 years! Everyone else has come and gotten farther Italians, Asian, (White) Cubans,etc. Only the Irish haven't because they got assimilated into the Anglo Saxon sphere/power structure. I guarantee you we won't do amnesty again, this will be the last time, because the Mexicans are forming power structures already. We won't be talking about this 15 years because they will have moved on and blacks will still be in the same place. Complacency does nothing. We already tried this, it doesn't work.
I'm going to say this the next time I hear another Mexican come talking that bullshyt about how they are native to the USA.
Building from the bottom. I accuse of complacency because you think we need to preserve these low paying jobs for blacks. We don't. We need to move forward now. And you get paid more for bilingualism at the workplace. That's a good thing, because there are latinos born here. You don't think mexicans will assimilate, the cubans did didn't they? Or what are your standards for assimilationwhat complacency are you talking about? what is it that we have tried already, you are going of topic
it wouldnt make sense to give up those jobs because that is the current level where people are at, you cant wish your way to an education or a high paying job
the problem with illegal immigration is that it it depresses wages for people at the bottom, the problem with illegal immigration specifically from south america and mexico is the lack of integration and trying to turn the us into a bilingual country, neither of those things are good for black people
and there is no logical reason to think this would be the last amnesty

and your going to sound just as dumb as him.
what exactly does perserve mean? what i said is that illegal immigration hurts people at the bottom and you said you dont care about that, what kind of economic plan do you have that says people with no hs diploma will magically start going to school and working at high paying jobs without going through low paying jobs? it doesnt work that way, low wage jobs are the entry point into higher paying jobs, that is why they are important
if people start at the bottom then that is where they start, but low paying jobs are important especially when people have no jobs at all
how does getting paid more for bilingualism help black people? assimilation means not having to press 2 for spanish
Look at the bolded. Why don't they have that? Their diploma/GED? Is that a "reality" for any ethnic group? Focus on the education. Forget that. You don't have plan, you have a band aid.
If you a black and billingual (a) you are more likely to get hired (b) you bring more money into the community and thus the your family
im just stating facts
there isnt a contradiction between low wage jobs and education, i dont know where you get that from
of course black people should focus on education but how does that contradict the fact that illegal immigration causes wage depression and displaces low wage workers?
how does you not giving a fuk about low wage workers contradict the fact the illegal immigration hurts low wage workers?
you have to start where you start, if you have no HS degree you cannot just jump to a college degree and a high paying job, low wage jobs are the Of foundation of higher paying jobs
and its not just adults, when grown people take low wage jobs it also hurts teenagers and young workers
the point is what if you are black and not bilingual, how would that help black people?
the only thing you are showing is the elitism of pro illegal immigration people and their disdain for American low wage workers
its not accurate to describe mexicans as native americans
Look at this. This is typical of you and your debate skills. I'm right and every else is wrong. Your shifting the goal posts. Where did I deny that it suppresses the wages. Point it out. Why do you think the business owners want them in the first place. I'm saying why is it you expect black people to be picking crops, because this is what it comes down to. This should not be reality in 2013.
You said what is the point of being billingual. Ether bring A game and stick to your argument or don't come at all. And what the hell is wrong with learning another language? Even if the was no illegals there is a large Latino population, that was born here.
nothing of what you stated was facts
30-40% of the Mexican population is of indigenous (native american) blood that means no European blood what so ever , that's more than just the "some" you said. Even the rest of which are mestizo ( European/indigenous) they have 60% + indigenous blood in them, you wont find anything near those numbers in in "Americans" , and please do tell beside the native Americans we are talking about in this thread which Americans are native to the U.S, and FEW (5% or less) of the Mexican population is of "white" blood and
but yea Ill let you continue with your
According to official statistics —as reported by the National Commission for the Development of Indigenous Peoples or CDI— Amerindians make up 10-14%
In 2004, the Mexican government founded the National Institute of Genomic Medicine (INMEGEN) which launched the Mexican Genome Diversity Project. In May 2009, the Institute issued a report on a major genomic study of 300 mestizos in the Mexican population. Among the findings it was reported that over 80% of the population is mestizo and that the proportions of European and indigenous ancestry are approximately even
The genetics and genomics underlying the putative "Mexican genome" is suspect. Novel and interesting articles on this topic can be found in a recent volume edited by Carlos López-Beltrán of the National Autonomous University of Mexico [88]. Carlos Galindo's paper in the volume (pp. 209-236) shows how censuses build racial categories. Such categories often cross-cut across countries. There is no scientific reason simpliciter why that should be the case. Moreover, if such categories, narrowly defined, are subsequently used to determine who should be sampled for genomic studies (potentially even by choosing to ask certain people rather than others based primarily on visual phenotypic appearance), there will be a kind of "looping effect" (Ian Hacking) in the genomic results. One will get out (racial groups) what one put in (racial groups), a point Winther makes (pp. 250-254). Fabrizzio Guerrero McManus' piece describes how the INMEGEN project is more about a "symbolic space" (p. 192) than a scientific project per se. López Beltrán and Vergara Silva's contribution discusses "genomic sovereignty" and ties the INMEGEN to (normative) nation building and identity. This collection by a variety of humanists points to weaknesses and confusions in the INMEGEN's potentially (reverse) imperialist project of defining a "Mexican type" (José Vasconcelos' "la raza cósmica"?), to which all Mexicans must, do, and will adhere.
