Oh, you silly. Hispanic last name=Mexican=Illegal. Didn't you get the memo? ;-)
To: mlc9852
Because here in Wtby the Puerto Ricans and Dominicans seem to far outnumber anyone else.
Of course, there are also the Portuguese, Italians, Romanians, Mexicans, Ukrainians....

No, I'm not happy. I'll be happy when immigrants are no longer treated like ****.

Are we referring to legal immigrants or illegal aliens?

How do you know that? I've never heard the name, Isomar, before and cannot tell what nationality it is...so how can you?
Another poster points out that most of the Spanish speakers in Waterbury CT are Puerto Ricans or Dominicans. These people are as different from the Mexicans as the Irish are from the French or the Italians are from the Swedes. Of course, facts matter little on these hate Mexican threads, but I do read them because it is important to me, as an American, not to let the blind hatred of a few overtake the serious debate necessary to find a solution to this problem.

I know lots of old-timer Americans that need a staff member to explain to them what the Doc is saying. Shall we send them to Mexico?

Hey kid get a private doctor who speaks your native language and stop using the emergency room as a GP.
Better?

I'm confused. The original statement referred to "immigrants." All I want is clarification of whether, in your view, this term distinguishes between people who come here legally and those who come illegally. Thanks.

Do you distinguish between those who come legally and those who come illegally?

The only thing I distinguish is if they are Muslims.

Rosa should always send them to a veterinarian. Dogs and cats don't talk but they still get treated.

14-year-old Isomar is one of those bi-lingual kids.
Isomar says,"Since I was 8-years-old I have been translating for my mom."
So, for the last six years his mother hasn't managed to learn some basic English?

I know this for a fact, that you don't have to speak the language in order to help someone, a person or an animal. Do you in your infinite wisdom think that the majority of nurses and doctors in the U.S. speak Spanish? They don't. How do you think the illegals had so many anchor babies? The anchor babies are delivered by English speaking doctors. They more than anything else wanted that anchor baby so they didn't demand a translator. Now that the anchor baby is interpreting for them suddenly they need someone to translate. Give me a break.
