quotes that make Ron Paul sound racist

#9 is ironic.
"9. “Immigrants can spread diseases for which we may have no immunity. There is also the question of crime and culture. Many immigrants come from countries with different legal structures and are not willing to behave in the way we expect American citizens to behave.”"

Sounds an awful lot like a group of big belt buckled people's pilgrimage over the ocean to settle on land that was already lived on by a large group of people who suffered from diseases, death, and forced removal from their land by that bunch of unwanted immigrants who didn't want to live by the laws already laid down on those lands.

juuuuuust sayin'. fuck anyone who talks about what "their" America is in relation to immigrants effect on the country. This land wasn't built on god or Christianity, it was built on illegals forcing current residents to assimilate to their own cultures. If America's most dominant language becomes Spanish then you can all happily sit there remembering the fact that hundreds (if not THOUSANDS) of languages have been lost due to English speakers forcing their language on others for their own convenience. Native Americans were put into school and onto reservations where they weren't allowed to speak the language they were born into without punishment. The list of what's happened to people who are ACTUALLY native to the Americas goes on and on, so every single person who wants to complain about how their life may be inconvenienced can shove their opinions up their asses. Learn a second language or go somewhere that's actually established English as their national language. We don't have one. We hopefully won't any time soon.

You may have been born here, but your ancestors weren't any more than mine were. We haven't even been settled here for 300 years, but apparently we own the continent that's been lived on for several THOUSANDS of years. riiiight.

(and stop saying "screw this, I'm moving to Canada/Australia." They don't want more of you there. Both are fairly liberal and verging on socialist. Most people complaining about immigration are against both of those. You'd have just as much to bitch about over there. And if you can't speak French in half of Canada they won't accept you any more than you accept non-English speaking immigrants. Both French and English are pretty much required.)
