You ought to talk to legal Japanese residents in the USA who are ESL students, and get their frank opinion about the illegal alien students (primarily from Latin America) whom co-inhabit their classes.
You will hear the same thing in any ESL class in any part of the USA, coming from Japanese.
I am with you friend, (on the issue) about Rudy Guiliani, regarding illegal immigration. I am with you.
How dare the Japanese keep Japan to themselves?!?
President Bush would have been foolish to not understand that his comments would be picked up in Mexico and relayed throughout there and Latin America in Spanish for all to see.
They were a literal MAGNET to illegal aliens to come here since 2000. Millions of them since September 11, 2007 alone. And further, they emboldened those firmly ensconced on US soil already as illegal inhabitants, if not enabled the sense of entitlement to be here and get benefits out the wazoo. And we had to pay for it all.
Did Bozo ever realize his words were a MAGNET to such lawlessness and disregard for the laws and sovereignty of our Nation??
Maybe they can establish an "East Asian Poverty Law Center" or something like that.
Yep. And they damn well know it to.
Every mosque in Japan is watched very closely and I would not be surprised if every sermon at those mosques or meeting halls is taped, translated and carefully analyzed.
If there are any islamofascists here in Japan, and I would be surprised if there wasn’t, they are keeping very quiet and doing everything they can NOT to attract attention.
This is Japan, and no matter how many foreigners there are in Tokyo (just a handful compared to most other places) they are all watched. Even white middle-aged business types like you and me. Not to say there is a cop or spy trailing us. But we stand out and are always noticed where ever we go.
And yes, there is the racist aspect of Japanese culture as well. Japanese as a whole do NOT like foreigners. Americans are tolerated because we won the war, Chinese and Koreans are actively disliked, but as far as Arabs and other races? Active loathing comes closest.
That, and post 9-11, fear and distrust.
There are strong elements in the National Police that would purely love a limited terrorist attack here just so they COULD round up every brown face and ship them all out.
Let Amnesty International squawk. Let the Europeans protest to their hearts content. It wouldn’t bother the Japanese a single bit.
;-)
/just kidding
In which case you would be followed everywhere by those kinky pencil-necked, thick-glasses, mouth-breathing geeks that infest Akihabara.
The Japs are my kind of xenophobes! We should learn from them.
“Did Bozo ever realize his words were a MAGNET to such lawlessness and disregard for the laws and sovereignty of our Nation??”
How many times in the past 6+ years has Bush made speeches
which included the mantra “just doing the jobs Americans won’t do”?(notwithstanding the fact that 75 percent of those jobs were currently being done by Americans) Bush must have said this 40-50 times.
The WORST thing he ever said was “We need to match willing workers(illegal trespassers) with willing employers(crooks)”
Bush prosecutes Border Patrol agents, gives immunity to major illegal drug dealers, and calls the Minutemen “vigilantes”.
Bush hire dutiful lackeys like Chertoff and Gonzales to do his dirty work for him. He then enlists the aid of leftist scum like Kennedy to help RAM through “Amnesty”. He failed because by this time, illegals had damaged or almost destroyed 100 towns across America, and we finally fought back.
End of story? Hardly. Now we have Mexican trucks travelling all over the country with unknown cargo........
unknown because orders have come down from the top that if the lines at the border are “too long”, only the drivers I D will be checked. This will allow massive illegal immigration and massive amounts of illegal drugs to continue to flow into the USA.
When it comes to illegal immigration and our border, we might get a better shake from Hugo Chavez!!
Former commander of the Argentine fleet?
Mexican drug cartels have an assembly line even Henry Ford would envy. Poverty-stricken latino hamburger flippers and lettuce pickers pay huge amounts to get over the border from Mexican staging areas.
They can now pour into the US, traveling in the comfort of cartel trucks. They pay their way over carrying and selling drugs in the US.
MORE IMPORTANTLY: We need to find out if Western Union is laundering illegal drug monies thru the massive $50 billion transmissions these suckers are sending back to their moth-eaten countries.
(BTW, I keep wondering if the Bush family counted the family silverware when little George's nanny went to Mexico for a visit. Mamacita now lives in the WH---yikes.)
Au khun chiraan, AIT.
Domo arigato gozaimasu AND do itashi mashite.
(What is "and" in Japanese?)
Pronounced "sew shtay".
Thank goodness he is on his way out.
He may be even more bold in the closing few months of his regime, and take away more of our individual freedoms, saddle us with more taxes, and evaporate more of our sovereignty. I am afraid of it, through executive dictate, primarily, all in the hopes of pursuing "legacy".
“They can now pour into the US, traveling in the comfort of cartel trucks. They pay their way over carrying and selling drugs in the US”
Bingo!!
“I am afraid of it, through executive dictate, primarily, all in the hopes of pursuing “legacy”.”
Left unchecked, Bush’s legacy will be the end of our sovereignty!
So the correct sentence would be:
Domo arigato gozaimasu soshite do itashi mashite.

I don't think I'll ever have the need for Japanese, but I have a dozen or so of the Rosetta Stone language CDs, Japanese is one of them and I haven't reviewed it in years.
It is gramatically correct, but sounds a little odd strung together that way. You probably would not add the “and” in a Japanese sense. Japanese is a tough one.
