I'm so glad you're proud to be a racist. ----OOD


Being a racist has nothing to do with the situation! If anything, the illegals are racist for promoting their illegal activities, then expecting us to cater to them!!

As far as the Night Clubs being mostly Hispanic and the shops downtown being mostly Hispanic...well....isn't this a symptom of the issue? What is the REAL Hispanic population in DC? 75%? If so then it would make sense that 75% of business is Hispanic or caters to the Hispanic population. You won't drive down on 18th and Troost in KC and see a Red Lobster or Mexican places to dine because that area is predominately black. Like it or not DC is predominately Hispanic and therefore we get everything that goes along with that. The mall is steadily getting more Hispanic shops...they are moving up from downtown to the mall one by one and as the Hispanic population increases so will the shops/bars that cater to them. The fix is close the meat plants, other than that...it's status quo..get used to it.

10,000 Mexican wage earners' taking home $200.00 per week directly places $2,000,000.00 (million) into the local economy. Using the same factor of 5 that was supported by the Kansas gamblers story in that newspaper, I'd happen to guess we see ... oh.... ummmmm.... prolly 20 million turnover dollarz from our mexicanz...

But how much of that is sent out of the country each week? You can't spend it here if it's south of the border.
The military in 1967 or 68 put a limit on the amount a GI could send home from Nam in an attempt to get a handle on the lucrative black market.

United States Constitution: Amendment XIV: Section 1

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.


This does not protect against deportation of the parents who are in this country illegally. The child may be an American. So put him/her into foster care.

I don't deny that they don't deserve the certain rights to proper medical care following birth. But I say, round up the parents if they are illegal and deport them as long as they can't prove that they have the proper paperwork stating that they can be in the United State at least for a predetermined period of time.

Cruel as that may sound it would only be a small step in curtailing a severe immigration issue.

This statement is in regards to Outofdodge's comments on the XIVth Amendment.


As for the crime rate in this town. We have all seen it. It is true that the drugs are rampant in this town. The use of crystal meth is appalling. And, in talking with local police officers, I have learned that the majority of drug dealers in this town are hispanic. Please do not quote me on this. It is simply something I have heard from 2 or 3 police officers in town. I will not give names because I would like to protect their anonymity.

Also still on the topic of crime in Dodge City, if you take a look at the most recent "Dodge City Most Wanted" list. Which shows the top 8 most wanted people by local law enforcement, 5 of the 8 are hispanic and and 2 of those 5 are wanted for capital crimes, while one is wanted for rape charges (which should be a capital crime). Now that does not span the gambit of the entire hispanic community. But it gives you an idea when 62% of the "Most Wanted" people in our city/county come from the same general backgroud. Just so I am not flamed for citing unsubstantiated information. Here is a link to the local Most Wanted page. Dodge City, KS - Most Wanted The information on this site is up-to-date as far 6pm on Apr 3rd 2007

On to the language barrier issue. This is troublesome in a lot of different ways. The fact is that it is plainly moot to state that the only real national languages in this country are those that the Native American spoke in the past (and still do today). I won't deny that this country has a lot of owning up to do for past atrocities commited against those people. But that is an entirely different issue for a different time.

English has never been specified as the national language in this county by legilative action. But, for some 231 years now it hasn't been a major issue. But with the mass-migration that has been occuring in our country (and very strong in our region which I am including Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and California) over that last two decades. We are seeing massive changes to the culture of the people in those areas and all those changes being that we are having to change the way we live to satisfy their needs. A culture shock that has not been seen in this country since Ellis Island and the mass-Irish immigrations during their potato famine. I remember hearing stories about how the Irish would have the Pope take over America.

But even then while the predominent percentages of the immigrants were Irish, there were still quite a few people coming from other non-english speaking countries in Europe such as Germany and France. And, even they had the will to be Americans, not German or French nationalists living in America. Heck a large majority of the German immigrants came out to where we all live now in the share-cropping rush. They still learned English even if they kept much of their culture (which is only their right).

Learning a second language is never a bad thing. Expansion of the mind should be exponentially encouraged. The Smarter our children are now, the more success awaits them in the future. But I digress. Putting a requirement on students to learn a second language, specifically spanish, is an atrocity. I've got nothing against the language, its quite beautiful really. But like I said, a requirement for advancement through public schools is a gross over compensation of coddling to the Hispanic population, which is by no means whatsoever a minority in this town (any many many other towns in the South Central and South Western parts of this country).

Anyways, if you have children who are intelligent enough to learn one or more languages by the time they are in fifth grade, then they need to be learning Mandarin Chinese so they can go into international business.

I think the large issue with this language barrier is that there is a general lack of care from a large portion of the Hispanic population. And, politicians coddle them by passing legislation to appease them and gain more constituents (assuming they are legal citizens).

As for a bilingual work enviroment and/or requirements for employment. Thats a can of worms that has a whole lot of issues. One side says its needed to help anyone. The other side says its not needed because everyone should be speaking english anyways. Honestly, I can't pick a side. Because frankly, I think that if you are bilingual you have worked just that much harder to get where you are. If You aren't, well that says nothing against your character in the first place its just that you probbaly have other obligations that restrict your time so much that its impossible for you to take the time to learn a second language.

I guess us folks who aren't bilingual, or at least not specifically English and Spanish, could always attempt to play the EOE laws into our favor. Because in business that specifically deals in America there should be no issue with language.

I guess thats my rant. Flame me, I dare you. I'll use it to light up my which I'll smoke in your nearby bar or club.
