I would say that there is very little racism for lack of different “races”, racism probably mostly occurs on a theoretical level.

We do have a longstanding tradition of anti-semitism and general mockery of people who live to the south east of us.

If I shared racist views would I actually think they were racist?

What do you think about gypsies? Do you have any gypsy freinds? Would you go in to business with a gypsie, would you have them work for you?

Are you aware how many gipsies there are in Austria?

Does it matter how many? Is a certain number required? I know that they are periodically gathered up and kicked out as they are illegal aliens in Austria.

No they would detract, actually. I have never met a gypsie who didn’t try to steal from me. They have a issue with them in Italy for sure.

That is BS, they are one of the 5 (6?) people that are officially recognized to live in Austria.

The settle somewhere in Burgenland.

98% are German, or at least German speaking.

Irrelevant. Many Gypsies are migrants, they move all over, hence the name. Do you like any of them? do you trust them? Or do you walk on the otherside of the street when you spot one.

Of course not, bad wording on my part. Just curious if their was a parallel in how people feel about an large influx of “illegal” immigrants in your country as compared to ours.

As not only as American…but as an American of African/Indian descent, do you think I would receive the least of racism or biased stereotyping in your country? These are just thoughts…nothing to make argument.

As an American I doubt that you would run into trouble.

You could run into a few idiots in larger cities but I never heard of violence against tourist.

If you were an African illegal alien things would be different, the way we treat illegal aliens are a disgrace.

So if you run into the police in Austria make sure you have your passport, then there should not be any problems.

[/quote]

I see…does the majority feel that the African illegals would only bring trouble or actually contribute? Starting to sound like how are government deals with Haitian illegals…treat them like they only bring drugs and disease.

You do not get it…

There are so few I`d have to drive hundreds of kilometers to a few cities near the border so I could walk on the other side of the street, assuming I recognise them.

In Vienna I would not even know he/she is there with all the diplomats and tourists running around.

They have absolutely no influence in my live, I do not know any, I do not think of them and whatever gypsi-esque things they do in their villages, they are perfectly free to gypsy on as far as I and everyone I know is concerned.

I also do not think it is irrelevant that they actually live there wihtout being regularily round up like cattle and deported.

Part of the problem is that our major VISIBLE (i.e lower class) hard drug market is run by Nigerians.

So if a policemen sees a black man with expensive clothes, watches whatever, swallowing something on a subway, that guy is either a Nigerian drugdealer or since we are a UN city, an African diplomat eating his breakfast in a hurry.

That creates interesting opportunities to fuck up, to say the least…

Are you saying a black man is incapable of earning money honestly or are you saying the Austrian system prevents him from doing so?

orion have you ever been to the US to see what the immigration problem is like?

An illegal immigrant is a criminal and deserves to be treated as such. Bottom line. If they want to live here they go through the process of becoming a citizen, learning the language and contributing to our social security program instead of stealing from it. But if you are found here illegally you should not be given those options.

I would count diplomacy under the semi-honest ways of earning money.

Plus, I never stated that those drug dealers actually cheat. You get what you pay for.

To answer your question though, they way our laws on asylum or immigration are some, of them probably turn to crime because they have no choice.

Why we do have a Nigerian ring doing the foot work in the drug business I do not know, they might as well be white.

I’ve been to Vienna, saw plenty of gypsies lurking. I’ve learned to keep my eye out for them in Europe after a couple of attempts on my wallet. I asked the question because I already knew the answer. Europeans can’t stand the gysies. I don’t blame them since they make there living by pick pocketing, stealing cameras, and various other vagrant activities.

If you can’t pick them out by sight, then you can pick them up by smell or by listening to that gutteral gibberish they speak. Yes, they are in Austria, they are everywhere in Europe. They may not hang out where you live because it’s probably not a touristic place.

Most Eurpeans are wise to their tricks as I am sure you are too, so going after natives is a waste of time. Just don’t play dumb like you don’t know what I am talking about. You know exactly what I am talking about.

The problem with them in Austria is quite minimal compared to Italy, but they are there. For the record, I am for roundng them up and shipping them out; the non-citizens that is, which most of them are. They are nothing but trouble. I know from personal experience.

You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about, so why talk? If nothing else, the children of illegal immigrants have poisoned our schools in the south and brought down entire generations with their influence. The jobs they take could be filled by prison labor. Chain gangs, much? Much better for America to have low-level offenders under watch picking fruit than some folks who will just hurt America. We have no obligation, moral or otherwise, to help poor Mexicans. We have enough poor Americans as it is, why help some people we have no obligation towards when we haven’t even helped out American poor?

So you think Americans have a greater obligation to help Americans than Mexicans, you are for slave labour for people caught with weed, you think that Mexican children could actually spoil a socialist school system that quadrupled its spending per child without getting better results and yet you want to lecture me on Austrian economics?

Please, go ahead!

Plus, spoiling whole generations with their influence?

Initiative, hard work, tight families, a healthy distrust towards government and stupid rules?

They are keepin the American dream alive!

OF COURSE American governance has more obligations towards its own citizens. What are you even saying?

If I broke the law, I wouldn’t be complaining about having to pick fruit and making a couple bucks an hour towards cigs, or some valuable prison comodity. Big deal. Can’t take a little work? Then don’t commit the crimes. Maybe a little hard labor will truly REHABILITATE prisoners!

I don’t think, I know. I’ve read enough on California schools, and I’m from Texas, so I know how bad it is there. I remember when I enrolled in high-school, I had to bend over backwards to prove I was a resident, while, at the same time, an illegal, who admitted he had “just arrived yesterday” and was not a citizen, and spoke not a lick of English, was in classes that day.

They form gangs and ruin schools. They create a culture of shit that permeates all and poisons our youngest generation. They got my best friend into drugs it now appears. Why are you even contesting the argument? Have you even read anything on this, much less experienced any of it?

My friend told me how Mexican kids would run through the halls with Mexican flags, chanting in Spanish, and when he got the balls to run with an American flag, he was almost expelled, not to mention the threats of violence. Good thing he can handle 5 guys at a time.

I never said anyting about Austrian economics. However, I imagine that, after a little mild searching on Wikipedia, I’d be more prepared to argue Austrian economics than you are to argue American immigration policies.

"Initiative, hard work, tight families, a healthy distrust towards government and stupid rules?

They are keepin the American dream alive!"

That is just infuriating. You don’t know how disgusting those words are to me. How would you feel if I expunged upon the merits of Austrian neo-Nazis, and how they were the TRUE Austrians? That’s only a bit more disgusting than what you just said.

You exhibit stunning ignorance, combined with the terrible trait of someone who thinks they can arbitrate an opinion on matters they know nothing of. I was that way a couple years back, at 14, but you grow out of it.

Tight families? The sons become criminals, the girls skanks and young Mothers, and they hit their kids. Hard work? Out in the fields, maybe, but the guys cutting grass are NOT hard workers, nor are the folks in the suburbs and big cities. They’re more like parasites than hard workers. Criminals have initiative. These ARE criminals.

A healthy distrust towards government? There’s a difference between trusting government and invading a foreign nation and flaunting the law of the land. They don’t work with the government. Trust? All that matters to them is how the government treats them. If there’s a push for anti-illegal immigrant legislation, they riot. I was there in Dallas last time that happened. They only care about themselves.

You really shouldn’t be pontificating on this issue. I won’t argue the merits of the E.U., and you shouldn’t argue American immigration policies or our culture, what is American, and the measure of a group that you know absolutely NOTHING about.[/quote]

I agree with the basics of what you are saying Spital, but there is no reason to disrespect the Nationality of Mexico. I am from Arizona and am a self employed Carpenter and other trade like worker. The illegal immigration issue seriously affects my income. But the majority of Mexicans are great people.

I feel the easiest way to fix the problems is go after any one that hires an illegal. I see my neighbor�??s landscape crews, and would bet I could pick out the illegal. It may be the beginning of a Nation ID badge. I don�??t like the sound of it but it may be necessary. When you are working you must wear your ID giving you the right to be employed in the U.S.

America was founded on immigration but its time to shut the doors. “You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here” Last Call.
Go find someplace else…NOT WELCOME

Yeah LEGAL immigration the people who overstay their visa’s and the border hoppers gotta go. People who come ovber legally obey the laws of the US and want to contribute productively come on in the land is great.

No even those people get a free pass for taxes for the first three years and access to more grants

It’s like they punish you for being a natural born citizen in the US.

The people who helped make those laws should get a bullet just like the rest of the fugitives in this country.

deportation costs too much and doesn’t work.

I have a theory, that inflation is why Real estate is beyond the reach of the average person, and Inflation is why the stock market is over 14,000. And why gas cost almost $3.00 a gallon. The only factor that has not caught on is a substantial wage increase.

It is also part of my theory that the real-estate market will never recover unless prices drop on Real estate or wages increase. Also part of my theory is that wages will never increase unless we get rid of all illegal workers that are driving wages down. Input please

I think real estate is so expensive because the average house is twice as big as an average house 20 years ago.

Real wages and buying power are tough to increase unless productivity increases.

When our Government needs money, they print it. Big business realizes this fact, and increases their price to match inflation. But with no organized labor and with a steady supply of people willing to work for cheaper wages than most Americans are willing to. The cost of labor in Landscaping, Construction and hospitality has gone down. And I believe that is just the tip of the Ice berg.
I think when the cost of living goes up, wages have to reflect that. If it does not it will be out of balance
