What exactly are they all protesting about? I seriously still don't know and I have been reading as much as I can about it.

they're protesting because they want to continue to break the law, drain the U.S. medical system, not pay taxes, and receive fat welfare checks

yeah, there are plenty of white people living off of welfare needlessly
but because they were born here, we do not care so much we just need to make a workhorse country for stupid people, if by the age of 18 you do not meet an iq/motorskill/artisian skill requirement you will be deported to low level employment in a third rate country. |

QUOTE (zetec @ Apr 14 2006, 12:25 PM) that's pretty fucked up considering that THEY are the gringos here. gringo means foreigner. They're the goddamn foreigners. Stupid ones at that, apparently. gringos are all white people in general: americans, europeans, etc. -------------------- ![]() |

more info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gringo
the old story is that it comes from when the US invaded Mexico in the US-Mexican War, and our soldiers wore green uniforms so they were saying "green..go!" and it stuck ever since. NEVER would a mexican or other hispanic use this word to refer to a non-anglo person. -------------------- ![]() |

NEVER would a mexican or other hispanic use this word to refer to a non-anglo person. i was gonna post that link myself, read the first line: QUOTE Gringo (feminine, gringa) is a possibly derogatory term in the Spanish and Portuguese languages used to refer to foreigners, especially those from the United States.

QUOTE "used to refer to foreigners, especially those from the United States." right, ESPECIALLY the US...and the other circumstances would be other whites. ---- read down further --> QUOTE Mexico, Central America, and northern South America: In these countries the word normally means specifically a US citizen, regardless of language spoken or ethnic origin. Its use is sometimes derogatory.
Southern South America and Spain: In these countries a gringo is a person from North America or Europe outside of the Iberian peninsula, and the term is less derogatory than in northern Latin America. The Anglosphere: Hispanic migrants in the USA occasionally use the term as a synonym of anglo. Most English language speakers have met the word in Western films. In the United States, the term can provoke reactions incommensurate with its largely innocuous Spanish-language sense. -------------------- ![]() |

basically what this means is that it is specifically related to what a person looks like (having white skin) and not being just a "foreigner." you could live in Mexico and be a permanent resident and still be a gringo.

what all this REALLY means is that we need to train several hundred more snipers and send them out to hunt border jumpers
or, let loose a few extremely anti-illegal immigrant psychopaths that will go on a killing spree. hunt and murder the fuckers on texas soil -------------------- |
