American Dream fades for New York immigrants

Full story: rawstory.com

The immigrants gathered at dawn to chase the American Dream, but as fast as the sun soared over New York, so the dream slid from their grasp.

Are these "poor Unfortunates" really LEGAL IMMIGRANTS or, in reality, ILLEGAL ALIEN boarder jumpers?

If they are illegal aliens, they have a "pipe dream" and no right to be here, let alone take part in the American dream.

Do not weep. Their women will rake in the welfare benefits to pay for their living expenses.

They want to make money working to send back to their country to bring more here. This is what they are upset about.

Today, in New York city, a policeman was shot and killed by an illegal alien.

A latin illegal alien try to board the subway without paying when police try to take him in, he shot and killed one policeman, wounded another and a third policeman shot 4 times and killed the illegal alien (I think they killed him).

This is the city where the ex-gov. wanted to give them more rights except he was stopped in his tracks by his own doing.

I am sure this will fade more dreams for the illegal aliens, New York police stand by their own in this sort of tragedy.

Legal immigrants do not have to pay traffickers to sneak them into U.S..

Nor do they have to stand on a corner and wait for someone to drive by and offer them work.

The article is about CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIEN SQUATTERS.

I haven't heard anything about the stolen card, my guess is probably.

First time I have seen this video, how do they pack so many in there? Just think, this is a daily occurence.

"New York... is as dependent on immigrants as it is on Wall Street...
'Construction will turn down. Things around the financial community will turn down -- restaurants, laundries, delicatessens, even things like doing your nails,' said demographer Andrew Beveridge...

Yeah, let's just keep hating on hard-working people desperate to provide their families with better opportunities in life, keeping them out, all so the world's laziest and most ignorant people-- Americans-- can continue their delusions that the sky is not falling in on them. And if you don't live in NY, your ignorance most clearly shows. Idiots.

Nobody hates hard working people.
Everyone is sick of the illegal invaders though.

CriminalS CAN be hard workers but must be punished for their crimes. You can't pick
and choose who is responsible for their actions
because of color, race, religion etc.
And until the laws changes these people are commiting crimes everyday they stay here illegally without reporting to the Government.
DEPORT ALL ILLEGALS AND ANCHOR BABIES!!
Make no exception because these people are brown or black.

Oh please, don't start beating that drum again.

If you are Indian it was YOUR people who were the first invaders of this land.

Check YOUR history.

At the time the first white men came there were no laws against migration, legal or otherwise.

The white men did not come here to steal jobs (there weren't any).

They didn't come here to steal medical care (there wasn't any).

They didn't come here to steal public education (there wasn't any).

They didn't come here to steal food (everyone grew their own).

Now this nation does have laws and we have the right to enforce them.

what crimes are we referring to here, exactly? murder? rape? robbery? Such things should definitely be dealt with accordingly. But should a person be punished for chasing the American dream, of wanting to feed their families, and wanting to give their kids a fighting chance? Should they be punished for holding up our fragile economy, for doing all the grunt work Americans no longer have the appetite for? Are the majority of these "brown and black" migrant workers 'criminals?' To what degree? You tell me.

What do you mean by "your people"?
My ancestors were on this land when the first Hispanics got here from EUROPE.
And there sure as hell were no Mexican tribes living north of the Rio Grande.

If you are implying that Hispanics are "native" to this continent, then you need to check YOUR history:
http://www.unrv.com/provinces/hispania-map.ph...

No Hispanic is "indigenous" to any inch of US land, and no Mexican Indian is either.

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Aries

Take care today Aries, because the emotional landscape in your neighborhood will be full of pitfalls during the coming fortnight, as it has been since the Solar Eclipse on May 20. The more convinced you are that you're right, the harder it will be to navigate your way around forthcoming events. If you feel resentful of someone, perhaps a neighbor or sibling, you need to get your feelings out in the open, rather than burying them deeper, where they'll fester and lead to more problems in the long run.
