FYI, in MA, they were already here. They're just not from Mexico.
Burger King ruined their fries when they changed them...
Amen. Those "new" lactose sticks of death are horrible. They may as well just put Ex Lax in them and be done with it.
Tonka ruined their trucks when they went from metal to plastic...
I have a deep scar by my left eye from my brother smashing me in the face in 1984 with one of their metal trucks. I miss those metal trucks.

Brokeback mountain ruined cowboy hats.
This is actually truer than you think! I read a story a few months back where COWBOY RETAIL SHOPS outside of the "cowboy" states (Texas and such) were experiencing a DRAMATIC drop in business. One retailer I remember they interviewed from the Los Angeles, California area claimed business was down by HALF because of the movie and that she was going to have to close up shop likely...

I'm pretty sure the sequel will help sales. . .

It's not that far to move her shop from LA to SF.

Ignorance ruins my appetite.
Chad, Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the U.S. As such, Puerto Ricans are free to reside here.
-
I am not ignorant of that fact.
It doesn't address the massive problems we had where I used to live regarding the numbers of people moving from there and not getting jobs, not contributing to society, committing welfare fraud, clogging up the high schools with 20 year olds that don't intend to graduate, etc etc.
I'm not saying all of them... but there were far, far too many who did.

Nice pun, that misspelling.

Poor attempt at spin control Chad. You initially lump Puerto Ricans in with talk of illegal aliens and when you are corrected, you begin to describe some outbreak of lazy Puerto Ricans which has nothing to do with my response. ::)
You know I'm not ignorant to the fact that Pluto is no longer considered a planet. But that doesn't address the problems we had with science teachers always making us create those model solar systems.
Moral of story, its okay to say "my bad" :)

When they come here with the sole intent of committing fraud against the state, that is illegal, and I do lump them in with the rest. Because the only reason they're not illegal aliens specifically is because of where they were born, and that's just probability in play. 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.
There was no spin involved. That's how I see it. You don't like that, apparently, and I do not care.

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.

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.

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.

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.
