Dagny Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 I just saw this report on the news about this video that is making its rounds on the internet. http://www.jokaroo.com/funnyvideos/mexicanworkers.html This kind of stuff just makes me sick. That racist bastard really deserves to get his ass kicked. He actually fools them into thinking he's going to give them a job but instead takes them to the INS. It is these kind of dumbass people that are ruining this country. They should be thankful for new immigrants...illegal or not who come here to work and make this country better.

At least its good to see immigrants looking for work. In the UK they generally don't come for work but for the generous welfare state. Though that's a reason why I sympathetic to open borders - the more strain on our welfare services the bigger the demand for getting rid of the welfare state. However I've always wondered wouldn't this then lead to all the immigrants just voting for the next politician who came along promising lots of welafre and so we would end up with a socialist government?

Dagny Posted September 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Yeah, I'm not sympathetic to immigrants who abuse the welfare services. Perhaps a system of only granting amnesty to those who have shown they never received welfare and who've proven able to take care of themselves would be better. Most illegal immigrants I've heard of are too scared to go anywhere near any government office (welfare or otherwise) to even think of asking for handouts. They come here basically looking for work. I thought that idea Bush had of giving 3 year visas to immigrants to work and then go back to their country was a step in the right direction, however, I'm not familiar with all the details.

DavidV Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) If you want them to take down the video, email Jokaroo ([email protected] ) and tell them that unless they take down the video in 24 hours, you will contact their advertisers and notify them that they are supporting a racist website. Emails from just a few people should do the trick. If not, a few emails to the advertisers should be sufficient.

Thales Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) That is pathetic. The guy named the virtue of these people, that they work hard, but yet seemed to have a low view of them anyway. One minor point, I believe that most Mexicans are caucasions, just like most latinos are white. I don't know what the word would be to describe that guy's views. Perhaps just anti-Mexican.

Dagny Posted September 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) Thanks for the advice David...I just emailed them. In my anger last night I did not even think about taking such a step. I was just so disturbed by it.

jrs Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 One minor point, I believe that most Mexicans are caucasions, just like most latinos are white. Actually, I think that most Mexicans and other latinos are descended primarily from the "Indian" population which lived in the Americas before Columbus discovered them for the Europeans.

Hat Trick Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Isn't that just so typical of the extreme right, though? His complaint seems to be that illegal immigrants are "only good for making babies" and essentially just a bunch of welfare cases, and yet he goes after a bunch of guys who are honestly looking for work. If he wanted to make a point, he could have taken a bunch of INS agents to a welfare office and deport those illegal immigrants, not the ones who are ready, willing, and able to work. Did you hear back from the website, Dagny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagny Posted September 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Nope, haven't heard from them at all. My next step will be to email their advertisers which seem to be Verizon and Yahoo/SBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might have hit upon a line that could swing the left into guiltily allowing Mexicans. Now, think of something with which to hit the right: christian values perhaps.

Felix Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 (edited) Boy, what a sick asshole that is. I finally managed to watch the movie and this truly sucks. These people come over to the US to work. This is a good thing. Sick bastard. What does he live for? This seems to be a sick site, too. I watched another movie: http://www.jokaroo.com/funnyvideos/gunsurprise.html I am very open to funny stuff, but: Who can laugh at this?

Geoff Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Im totally against racism, and what that guy did was wrong, but im having trouble seeing why Objectivist's in this thread seem to feel that illegal immigrants arent hurting anyone. They are using our streets and roadways and yet they dont have to pay a dime. Why should hard working people be forced to sacrifice there money, while illegal immigrants are free to roam as they please? Also im sick of having to carry a English to Spanish translation book everytime im in California or Florida visiting family. When ordering from a restaurant, there is a complete language barrier, and you know they are being paid under the table. They get in this country, cant speak a word of English and that creates two languages which is going to tear this country appart. I have nothing against immigrants who come here legally and learn to speak English which many have done. My English teacher is one of the many who have come here and learned, and now shes teaching a 12th grade English class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ever for even one second consider the difference in conditions that permitted *your* ancestors to come to America and be able to live (which certainly happened sometime in the past few hundred years unless you're completely American Indian), and the conditions faced by Mexicans today? It was not the founding fathers of this country that created brain dead barriers to immigration, that had to be invented by modern statists. I have far more respect for a Mexican crossing the Rio Grande illegally in order to find work than I do for millions of able bodied welfare slobs in this country - such as those recently who were too evasive and lazy to even move their bodies out of the path of hurricanes that are certain to drown them.

Man that video was terrible man, I didn't even start to think that he hadn't killed the guy. On the issue of illegal immigrants in america, it's kinda funny to me. I know a lot of caucasions in construction here in Atlanta and they always complain about how 'wrong' it is that Mexicans come and take 'thier' jobs. As if they had some kind of right to it. While Mexicans do benefit from our roads and what not without paying taxes they also add to american productivity by working for less than minimum wage. I think mexicans in general are great. They come and are extremely hard working, what could be better? (yes that is a generalization but that is the point) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pancho Villa Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 What? Stupid people being stupid? Okay. Why does this need a whole thread of outrage and silliness over it? The only way I (who happen to be mexican) could give a damn about this is if they bothered me in particular, in which case I would discreetly break their arms, to give them a proper existential sensation of the kind of world they wish to make. Problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyedison Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 They get in this country, cant speak a word of English and that creates two languages which is going to tear this country appart. This is non sensical. Millions of immigrants have come to America since its founding bringing with them their languages and traditions. Yet all of their traditions melted away when they came. It happened because this country was ruled by individual rights and objective law to paraphrase Ayn Rand. When America giving way to irrationalism at a rapid pace, it didn't remain a melting pot. It became a salad pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RationalBiker Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 You telling me a tree-hugger would pull something like that? That's not an answer. You made the assertion that the guy was "extreme right", the burden is on you to prove it, or recognize that you are making a unprovable assumption.
