Chile Forum

that outburst by Mr. Admin was offensive and uncalled for, I thought for a moment I was reading a post by one of those racist wackos from the Minuteman and I was shocked to learn he's a fellow chilean . The fact of the matter is that thousands of chileans have had to leave the country for whatever reasons....many in what some researches call "an economic exile" . We should never judge, the reality is that many chilean families living in the U.S. are devastated about the earthquake and are unable to travel to see their relatives, can you imagine their frustration?.....sometimes it's useful to put ouselves in someone else's shoes..... it's a matter of decency. Mr. Admin, I highly recommend you inform yourself about the issue reading Nina Berstein's columns in the New York Times or by taking a look at reports issued by think tanks like the Center for Immigration Studies, Harvard, etc. It will help you not to look like one of those single IQ, white trash, xenophobic talking heads

Hi, Peter. What's happening? We need to talk about your TPS reports.

Yeah. The coversheet. I know, I know. Uh, Bill talked to me about it.

Yeah. Did you get that memo?

Yeah. I got the memo. And I understand the policy. And the problem is just that I forgot the one time. And I've already taken care of it so it's not even really a problem anymore.

Ah! Yeah. It's just we're putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports before they go out now. So if you could go ahead and try to remember to do that from now on, that'd be great. All right!

TPS Win!!!

kkai28, I bow to your superior intellect, I admit you read entirely through us. We're just a bunch of single IQ white trash racists, which is why we went out of our way to live in Chile and commit to the country through its worst earthquakes.

Because you correctly saw us as the illiterate xenophobic morons we are, your enlightened efforts to educate us and straighten our morals is a lost cause. Please do not waste your precious time on us, and instead stay among towering intellectuals like yourself. I suspect you will find plenty of them on DailyKos among other shining beacons of online civilization.

Who knows, pointing again Your Holy Light in our crass direction might just be deleted from this forum, no doubt drown in our mental sewage and inbred cultural prejudice. After all, we're known as Binge Yelling Extreme No-gooder Orrible Wackos, aka BYE NOW.

Hiding behind a new name perhaps????????????

O.k. down kids. I likly did overreacted a bit to the previous trolls implication that we somehow had no skin in the game in Chile or know nothing about Chile, after risking everything to help Chile the last weeks. But, I will respond to the new troll anyway (you sure smell like the last troll).

I am being called a racist because I think someone breaking another countries laws should not be rewarded for breaking those laws simply because some relative in another country is in trouble. I could even buy there might be a lot of legit humanitarian reasons by which the U.S. government should normalize someone's immigration status (e.g. Children born in the U.S. but parents are illegal). I just don't buy that in the case of Chile, and Chileans living in the U.S., that somehow that money is getting back to Chile in any significant way. This is not Haiti we are talking about, and this is not even Mexico or Guatemala where a large measurable amount of the GDP is based on remittance from the United States from people that are in the country illegally. The U.S. would spend billions, so that a handful of people could send home perhaps a few million dollars at best. By the way, money from jobs in a country that likly has higher effective unemployment rate than Chile. It would benifit one group, and one group only: Chileans already living in the United States illegally. Great, I hope they get their immigration status, but don't try to use this tragedy as an excuse.

Either move to a country like Canada that has much more friendly immigration laws (likly better pay and more jobs) or find an immigration attorney. I am simply not patting anyone illegally in a country (any country), Chilean, Mexican, British, black, white, or likewise on the back for committing a crime or otherwise not trying to correct their situation. Again, if the U.S. will not allow them to legally stay there and work, move to another country. It is not the only country in the World.

Sorry, that troll's bs had to go.
