first of all i
think the vodka as
is funny (although
personally i prefer
smirnoff).
Secondly, what i
want to know is how
america manage to
fit 200millon or so
people into a
country that's
smaller than mine!
no wonder their
worried about over
population.

Hello!
Someone said that
this commercial was
against the
constitution...
Well, I think
that's quite wrong,
in fact the very
first amendment
protects everyone's
right to make
things like this.
I must agree with
Mr Sheeba: this
whole campaign is
just too childish.
When I first heard
of it I just
couldn't believe
it. If someone
stops buying vodka
after this that
will be entirely
their own loss.
Well, only in
America I guess...
Sat Jun 21, 2008 14:33:11 Mr Sheeba Sweden
I think it is very
childish to even be
offended by
something like
this, we all know
that americans are
patriots, but
surely, showing a
map of how the US
looked like in the
long long past is
nothing wrong with
that. So come on
lads, are you
ADULTS or are you
small CHILDREN?
TAKE IT LIKE A
MAN.
GET OVER IT.
With kind regards,
Mr Sheeba.

Tonia Simmons,
Is your message a
response to
mine?
If so, I am not
sure you really
read mine, because
yours has nothing
to do in what I
have been saying in
my messages.
I pretty much agree
in what you say, I
did not supported
ilegal immigration
in no way.

Encouraging illegal
immigration into
the United States
is not right. As
for the portion of
the states you say
belong to Mexico
that ain't right
either. All that
happened ions ago.
The people
responsible for it
are long gone dead.
The ones living
now should not be
punished and
slandered for
something they had
no hand in. Their
were not alive when
The Alamo and the
rest occured. Get
mad at the dead and
not the living if
you want. And if
you can not get
past history and
learn from it, then
go see a
pyschiatrist. That
is called being
overly obssessive
about a past event
that you were not
their for so you
are not entitled to
slandering the
current living.
You are also
slandering the
reputations of
those immigrants
that here in The
States legally.
What gives you the
right to encourage
people to break the
law? What gives
you the right to
say that our laws
(Americans) mean
nothing? Who gave
you that right? No
one. It is not
your God-given or
law-given right to
exercise. You are
encouraging to
people to disregard
the law. Without
law and order,
there is nothing
but a huge mess.
That is what your
company is
encouraging. No
where in The
Constitution does
it say your company
can do this. What
you are encouraging
should get your
company in trouble
legally with The
FCC and National
Immigration. Your
company is breaking
the law by being an
accomplice or
encouraging illegal
behavior. That is
how I see it. I am
not against
Mexicans. I know
some. One of my
best friends is
here legally from
Mexico. She came
to the States
legally, it would
be unfair to her
and those like her
who came legally,
for you to
encourage illegal
immigration. The
day your company
gets dragged into
court over this, is
the day I would be
happy along with
those that are here
legally in this
Country.

Kristina, thanks
for these articles,
you seem so
documented, your
messages are so
much educationals
that those shitty
and rude ones that
come from some
other of your
conationals in this
chat.
I would like to
have some tequilas
and discuss about
this world in one
of our beautiful
beaches at the
Riviera Maya (you
see Toby, my
country worths
something, at least
we have some
beaches..haha).
As for what you say
about that
idiot-mentality of
some mexicans you
met when you lived
in L.A., by saying
that land
"belongs"
to them, neither
myself nor many
many Mexicans down
here think that
way.
It´s like if I was
chanting in the
streets against
Spaniards to ask
them to return all
the wealth they
took away for the
Crown 5 centuries
ago...LET IT
GO!!!
I think it´s time
for those fool
Mexicans to get
over with this crap
that California,
Arizona, New Mexico
and Texas belongs
to us, because and
do either legalize
their stay in USA
or come back and
make what indeed
belongs to us which
is our Mexican
territory a better
place to live!!
Besides that,
having all that
territory for US
would have meant
probably extend our
social and economic
problemas two
latitudes north in
the map, I don´t
think we would be
much better!!
Jessica, I fully
agree in all you
say, it´s brave to
fight against
outlaws, call them
Mexican ilegals,
blondies Americans,
african americans,
asians, europeans,
etc. and yeah
Mexican ilegals in
USA are just that
ilegals.
Best regards to all
and VIVA MEXICO!!
(Proud to be)

Stop assuming that
everyone here on
this site against
illegal immigration
is white. Grow a
brain. I am of
MEXICAN descent and
I am utterly
completely against
illegal
immigration. I know
that must hard for
you to understand.
Like I have said
before, I will not
condone illegal
behaviour just
because someone is
of my same race.
You on the other
hand ARE! That is
PATHETIC! It looks
like you happen to
be the racist here,
because you are
generalizing about
white people! Don't
worry, we won't
have to be having
this conversation
in the future,
because we are a
growing movement
and we are stopping
the INVASION
already!
Have a great day

One more thing,
read this
information that I
got off of ALIPAC
and other websites
about Mr. Edwin S.
Rubenstein's
document titled
"The Economic
and Fiscal Impact
of
Immigration".
U.S. taxpayers are
giving more than
$9,000 a year in
cash or benefits to
each immigrant, a
third of whom are
in the country
illegally. That's
$36,000 for each
immigrant household
of four.
Because the U.S.
has 37 million
immigrants, legal
and illegal, the
national cost was
more than $346
billion last year,
which was twice our
fiscal deficit. The
cost of immigrants
is so high because,
as Rubenstein
writes,
"Immigrants
are poorer, pay
less tax and are
more likely to
receive public
benefits than
natives."
The financial
burden immigrants
impose on education
starts with the 3.8
million K-12
students enrolled
in more expensive
classes for the
non-English
speaking. When we
add up the costs of
hiring specialized
teachers, training
regular teachers,
student
identification and
assessment, and
administration
costs, the total
amounts to an
estimated $1,030
per pupil, or $3.9
billion.
Of the 48.4 million
public-school
children, pre-K
through 12th grade,
9.2 million or 19
percent are
immigrants or the
children of
immigrants. In the
next few years,
immigration will
account for
virtually all the
increase in
public-school
spending.
Look at the $1.5
billion cost of
incarcerating
267,000 criminal
aliens in federal
prisons. That's not
the worst of it;
prison capacity is
limited, so 80,000
to 100,000 other
criminal aliens
have been
prematurely
released to prowl
our streets.
Criminals also
impose heavy
private costs on
their victims.
Rubenstein
estimates the
losses of income
and property,
hospital bills and
emotional suffering
at $1.6 million per
assault or
property-crime
offender.
Rubenstein's report
includes all sorts
of costs that other
observers
conveniently
ignore, such as the
Earned Income Tax
Credit. EITC gives
an average cash
payment of $1,700
per year to 25
percent of
immigrant
households.
The emergency
medical treatment
given free to
illegal immigrants
is another enormous
cost, causing some
hospitals and
emergency rooms to
close. Emergency
means any complaint
from hangovers to
hangnails, gunshot
wounds to AIDS.
Even after some
restrictions were
imposed in 1996,
24.2 percent of
immigrant
households receive
Medicaid, whereas
the figure for
native-born
Americans is 14.8
percent. Rubenstein
calculates that
Hispanics account
for 19.2 percent of
Medicaid
enrollment, while
they are 13.7
percent of the U.S.
population.
The FHA has had a
policy of
increasing home
ownership among
low-income
immigrants and,
therefore, approved
FHA mortgages on
homes with a down
payment of only
$200 to $300 and
marginal income.
Because buyers have
so little invested
in the house, they
can walk away from
it when they can't
meet the payments,
and this has
resulted in
neighborhoods of
abandoned,
boarded-up housing.
Refugees are a
large and growing
fiscal burden
because they become
immediately
eligible for
generous
taxpayer-paid
benefits. Evidence
shows they stay
dependent on these
programs and start
chain migrating
relatives under the
"family
reunification"
law.
The Interior
Department spends
millions of dollars
to clean up the
mountains of trash
discarded by
illegal immigrants
crossing into
California,
Arizona, New Mexico
and Texas.
Some immigration
advocates peddle
the notion that
immigration will
solve the future
financial burdens
of Social Security.
Rubenstein shows
how foolish is this
prediction because
today's low-wage
workers will surely
become tomorrow's
expensive retirees.
Another cost that
few talk about is
that immigrant
workers depress the
wages received by
native-born
Americans, and that
causes a $100
billion shortfall
in federal tax
revenue. Harvard
University
Professor George
Borjas found that
each 10 percent
increase in the
U.S. labor force
from immigration
reduces wages of
native-born
Americans by 5.25
percent.
How can anyone
think Illegals are
not hurting
America! Just look
at these facts.
You know another
thing, Mexican
President Felipe
Calderon is here in
the US to have more
"talks"
with US President
Bush on this topic
and more:
About 30,000
Mexican migrant
workers poured into
the New Orleans
area immediately
after the 2005
storms. Calderon
has been a critic
of the treatment of
Mexican migrant
workers by local
U.S. authorities,
and Ricardo Alday,
spokesman for the
Mexican Embassy in
Washington, D.C.,
said a recovering
New Orleans is a
good place for
Calderon to remind
Bush of the
workers' economic
impact.
I hope President
Bush takes Mr.
Calderon to L.A.
California, Texas,
Arizona to remind
him of what
Illegals are doing
to our Country!
Show him the books
and facts! I
appreciate all the
work the 30,000
workers did for
N.O., but look what
millions of
Illegals are doing
to our economy!
