The "rest" being just Mexicans and Dominicans?  Or are the illegal aliens from Poland, China and other countries included as well?  Just curious as I want to be sure who you are lumping Puerto Ricans in with.


--- Quote from: ChadTower on February 18, 2007, 11:05:32 am ---Because the only reason they're not illegal aliens specifically is because of where they were born, and that's just probability in play.

Cmon Chad, even you have to admit that this is a silly statement.  "Alien" status by definition is driven by where a person is born.


--- Quote from: ChadTower on February 18, 2007, 11:05:32 am ---I used to work in that welfare system and the blatant in your face fraud was mind boggling and it was almost always, in that particular locality, people from Puerto Rico.  We'd catch people blatantly lying in our face about anything you could think of, then they'd claim it was a language issue, then they'd say it was racism on our part, then they'd threaten us personally, then they'd actually have to be dragged out of the office kicking and screaming by a Police officer.  And they'd just move two towns over and start again a couple months later.

I can imagine that this experience could cause you to have a negative impression on a culture.  I ask that you remain open-minded and realize that every culture/race/nationalism has its bad eggs.


--- Quote from: ChadTower on February 18, 2007, 11:05:32 am ---There was no spin involved.  That's how I see it.  You don't like that, apparently, and I do not care.

--- End quote ---

The only part I actually care about, which my initial comment stemmed from, is ignorance being spread.  You implied that Puerto Ricans are illegal aliens and I simply corrected you in case others were reading.

Understood.  It wasn't where I was going with that, but if it appeared I was, consider that clarified.  The non-alien status of these particular individuals actually helps them as you can't simply arrest and deport someone from Puerto Rico when they're caught committing fraud.  We used to occasionally catch people with faked Puerto Rican documentation trying to pose as Puerto Rican immigrants.  That was always fun.
