Immigrants weakening the western economy?

Name: Anonymous 2006-04-08 19:04



Its not uncommon for people from less well-off countries to travel to the west to work in order to make more money. Some even work here, and send money back to thier native country to support thier families.

What effect does this sort of behaviour have on an economy? Does spending money youve earnt in your own country abroad weaken your home economy?

You are totally full of shit.

My dad worked through college for 10 years working full time. Now he has a 'cushy desk job.' He regularly travels to Korea, Japan, Russia, Iraq, Germany, Italy, and Bosnia. How old is he now, 50-something?

My grandfather was born into a tenant farmer family and worked his way up logging, without a 5th grade education because bad in those days all the white people over 8 years who wanted to eat had to work in the cotton fields or starve. My mom used to go pick cotton regularly as a kid. Tenant farmers were usually worse off than slaves.

My grandfather kept chugging at his business until late into his 80's. He was actually suffering from alzheimers, but instead of complaining about it, he actually pretty much fooled everybody into thinking he was ok. Eventually his jokes got so obviously wierd that people figured out something was wrong with him.

I just submitted a piece of work using xml, xslt, latex, java, ada, and c++ that constituted over 300 pages. The entire documentation and product added another 300. I fucking worked all day and night for weeks.

Just because you're educated doesn't mean you're lazy.

My grandfather's grandfather worked hard. My grandfather worked hard. My father worked hard. Hell, my grandmother AND my mother picked cotton out in the fields from the time they were kids.

I'm a hard worker; I'm white; I'm a real American citizen who has ancestors that died in fucking wars (like my grandfather on my father's side and several ancestors in the civil war.)

Fuck you.
