The culture of the "hispanic-type" is Catholic and Spanish speaking. I know that this isn't right to come up with such a conclusion. But, as a stereotype, it seems to be the main traits. I personally have no differences with any hispanic people. Since I only see people that are up here from Mexico at businesses (stores, fast food chains). But even as a far northern city. We know that it is better to work and live up here. Even though the jobs seem to be going south of the border. I can't believe that the politicians cannot realize that gree enterprise in an unrestricted environment. (Mexico) Where their are little regards for worker safety (things in work environment that can cause cancer) is not going to lead those that have the means to get paid more money and live better from coming to the United States. Every where that I pass up here. I see Mexicans doing lawn services, fast food or retail jobs. So the problem with open borders is not the real issue to keep native Mexicans from coming here. It would be equal living conditions. I don't know the wages down there. But would you prefer to flip burgers for a livable wage or build cars for a wage below our minimum wage? A strong border isn't the best defense. Equal living conditions are a better defense. I don't know of too many Canadians that enter the US illegally. But I heard that Canadians are made up of many immigrants from other nations. As in Hong Kong and many other nations of flight. I'm sure that there are many people that get to Canada, then enter the US. But with thier living standard being closer to the US, if not matching or exceeding our lifestyle. Flight is not a major problem. > What's bigoted about "or face the inevitable future"? If we have a large number of flighted Mexicans up here. You can bet that the nation as a whole will be more populated by peoples from south of the border. > What's bigoted about the way you used "Anglo" in other messages? Anglos seems to be a classification that is somehow used to seperate the caucasian race into several subraces. I guess the brown hair, blonde hair, lighter skin and blue eyes are the seperation. But what is a person that has red hair and has no protection from the sun classified as? Are they classified as Anglo?

"For you the world is weird because if you're not bored with it you're at odds with it. For me the world is weird because it is stupendous, awesome, mysterious, unfathomable; my interest has been to convince you that you must accept responsibility for being here, in this marvelous world, in this marvelous desert, in this marvelous time. I wanted to convince you that you must learn to make every act count, since you are going to be here for only a short while, in fact, too short for witnessing all the marvels of it." -- Don Juan To unsubscribe or change your preferences for the Creed-Discuss list, visit: http://www.winduplist.com/ls/discuss/form.asp
