Sheltowee, get a grip. The whole “everyone but the Native Americans is an immigrant” thing is pointless. One, there are no indigenous peoples to the Americas. The so-called Native Americans came over from Asia across the Bering Strait. And the Mexican population is an amalgamation of peoples from various Native American tribes, to Aztecs, probably some Incans up from South America, people brought over from Africa, etc. Mexico is as much a melting pot as the US. Two, the USA has been around a couple hundred years, and the last war with the Native Americans was almost 100 years ago – time to get over it. And three, we’re talking about legal issues, not moral issues. And we’re talking about issues happening now. While the worker was due workers’ comp coverage for the injury, there must also be a reckoning for his and the employer’s illegal actions.
Pablo, I’d like to say I’m sure the worker’s wages were taxed, but you never know. If the employer didn’t pay for workers’ comp like he was supposed to it’s hard to say what else he didn’t do like he was supposed to.
A racist will make racist remarks but will typically say “I was only kidding” and “I’m misunderstood”. If you don’t think what you say is a reflection of your true self (kidding or not) then you are living in denial. You could say “I was just lying in order to make you angry”.
This is my last comment and I won’t be back to view your response, so don’t bother. I hope God opens your eyes. I truly mean that.
This whole situation makes me wonder; was the injury really an accident?
Or was it really a plot to maximize his ill gotten gain before returning to the bowels of Tiajuana with his wad of untaxed swag.
That’s right boys and girls; you are not taxed if you are not here legally. Even the IRS’s hypocracy only goes so far.
I bet he had some weird facial deformity already; an ailment to Baja-dwellers almost as common as being short. This would have given him motive to perpetrate this foul plot in order to gain funds to have the renouned Tiajuana doctor, Dr. Juan Hunglow Martinez Hernandez Cocaroacha, reconstruct his face to look just like Antonio Banderas. WIth the intent of returning illegally to the U.S. to pursue an illustrous career as a voice over artist for animated fencing cats that dress like Zorro.
My history is correct and maybe you should read the Life of Daniel Boone – Draper Collection or the Master of the Wilderness by John Bakeless. And as far as Moral or Legal issues. If all of our laws were created as a result of a moral issue we would be living in a much better place. Thank God that it is illegal to murder someone.
Reason, your comment could have been construed as extremely racist – but was so over the top it was funny. That’s the sort of thing that goes to SNL for a skit. Wait, you’d have to strike and wouldn’t get a dime. Oh well, at least I get to enjoy the funny stuff.
Oh, and Sheltowee, I’m no racist I just have a sense of humor.
How do you figure?
I didn’t say whether any of it was good or bad; I just stated the potential facts.
Whether you agree or not doesn’t make it racist.
But that’s OK, I’m used to it; I cause feelings in other people that even they themselves don’t understand….
This country has allowed illegals to come through its borders. We have done nothing to stop it. Employers hire them to make bigger profits. In Oklahoma we finally passed a bill HB1804. That has begun to rid us of the ones that here illegally. Dont get me wrong there are some that are here in our country that really want to change thier lives for the better, by having respect for Our flag and Our Laws. Then their are those who break every law they can. Learn English and Become part of America, dont bring your Mexican Flag with you. I would never go to Mexico with an American Flag. I would respect their laws. I have seen it first hand, being in rallys and having, My Flag dragged and burned, that is not showing respect and that is why in Oklahoma HB 1804 passed. Thanks. Also can you all define prejudice and racist.
The first step in solving the illegal immigration is to simplify and speed up the process of legal immigration. Give the “illegals” that want to work for an honest wage individual identity. You can then focus on the criminals who do not want legal status. I suspect most employers won’t be anxious to higher thugs and murderers to work at any wage.
Another thing, we are all human beings and you are a racist if you consider any other ethnic group inferior to your own.
The Flag is symbolic of freedom, give that to people and they will embrace any flag that represents this.
Speaking of symbolism what does the Statue of Liberty represent to our country?

Your remarks are racist but I’m sure you know this.
Sheltowee, man, get off your high horse.

As usual….someone like Shallowtree comes along to put a guilt trip on us just for asking people to abide by the laws…
Shallowtree, if you can trace your ancestry all the way back to adam and eve, i will maybe, just MAYBE give your argument some thought….
but otherwise, welcome to evolution.
save your “i was here first” arguments for the third grade please, because that’s the only place that works.
