Like you, I live in AZ also, and this whole thing is just getting so blown out of proportion. People keep saying it's a race issue, which it isn't. But anyway! I LOVED the video! I have never heard of Ray Stevens before, I think I'll look up more of his stuff, seems pretty entertaining!


myLot reputation of 87/100. bigal3 (325)  2 years ago

What's getting "out of proportion" as it relates to Ray Stevens? I don't understand.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7713)   ranked 19 out of 1,450 in youtube.com  2 years ago

sadyes krysiana i think just to many people havent read the whole law on immigration here. and, bigal, whats getting blown out of proportion is that many think we are just about racial profiling and its not that at all. its what the video implies. rasp


myLot reputation of 98/100. beaniefanatic13 (2154)   ranked 577 out of 1,450 in youtube.com  2 years ago

Krysiana, bunny what's even sadder is that the some of the people that are blowing it out of proportion hold offices in the highest seats of our government and HAVEN'T read the new law either. How sad is that.

One other note, (completely of topic) It was a sad day in America for me when the President of the USA stood beside the President of Mexico and stated that this law has the potential to violate rights. Did you know that if you decided to become a Mexican Citizen you would not be allowed to protest against the government? That is a right only given to naturally born Mexicans, you also would not be allowed to hang the American flag. Just thought I's share.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7713)   ranked 19 out of 1,450 in youtube.com  2 years ago

thumbup absolutely true, beanie. also, i saw a video where he (Obama) was meeting with the mexican president and had put down our country to him as he often has done to other countries. has no one reminded this president what country he represents? and should stand by and be proud of? Gang members have more pride in their organizations then this manangry


myLot reputation of 98/100. beaniefanatic13 (2154)   ranked 577 out of 1,450 in youtube.com  2 years ago

I agree this president doesn't stand for America, how can you be the president of the USA and not support your goverment leaders (at least in the public eye) and the AMERICAN people, you shouldn't care more about the feelings of illegal immigrants or the president of another country. PERIOD! Stand up and be an AMERICAN Mr President!!! As always just my 2 cents worth!!!

Some of his music was pretty funny. It was a refreshing break from the usual stuff one hears on the radio.

That would be a lot funnier if it weren't so true. sad

I used to do legal transcription work and the bulk of it was workers' comp cases. Quite a large portion of these cases involved Mexicans working here in the US. Some of these Mexicans were found to be illegally here, yet they were given disability for getting hurt on the job!!! They should have been given a free ride to the Mexican border and kicked right over.

I'm all for trying to better your life and I know that, for a lot of Mexicans, their lives can be improved if they come here to find work BUT doing it illegally is WRONG! Actually, I'm not really fond of letting so many Mexicans into this country legally at this time because the economy is so poor.

My son has been trying to find work for over a year now and has been unsuccessful. He's even tried to get a job with landscaping companies and road crews but they have all the help they need... from all the Mexicans coming here to work.

It is so very wrong on so many levels to allow any foreigners here to find work when American people are having such a hard time finding work. The Mexicans seem to get the jobs that would keep American heads above water right now. That pisses me off to no end!!!

I say do whatever is needed to keep the illegals out. Charity begins at home, right? We need to ensure that American people have the jobs they need before we even allow the legal immigrants in!


myLot reputation of 87/100. bigal3 (325)  2 years ago

My compliments to you! You are so right. Don't get me wrong, I am not against anyone, no matter the nationallity,race or anything else but in these very difficult times we SHOULD take care of our own.

I am a "Viet Nam" vet. When I completed my tour of duty and came back to the states it was very difficult for me to get a job with all the Viet Nam refugees who came to the U.S.after the war. I really know how you feel.

Times now are more difficult than anyother time I have experienced in my 65 years on this planet and I was born during World war II. (D-day plus 12 hours) I can remember my parents speaking of those times and compared to today they actually seem to have had it better. Then immigration law seemed then to have more clout.
Granted there will always be people from "third" world countries trying to get into the US because of what it stands for and its opportunities. But a line "MUST" be drawn somewhere in times of hardship and crisis. Don't you agree?


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7713)   ranked 19 out of 1,450 in youtube.com  2 years ago

sad i sure agree mentalward. and people will stupidly say things like "americans will not do certain jobs or will not work for less"!! well, they are very wrongevil grin my son here does one of the worst nastiest jobs there is. and doesnt make any more then anyone else doing this work. also,2 of my sons are out of a job right now for months. they would take any lowely job given also,as some pay is better then no pay. and my kids years ago worked out in the feilds and orchards picking and packing produce for very little money as teens. so, i know they will do any job. bigal, i will have to say you are right in what you say also. my second husband was a viet nam vet and had a hard time finding work when he got home. worst of all is we dont treat our vets right. my son here has to wait for everything he needs done. plus, not only does he have to pay a percentage of his medical, he has to go clear across town to the VA for everything if he gets any insured help at all. thumbdown right now hes waiting for a very important and scarey proceedure to be done and still no word for 2 weeks.


myLot reputation of 99/100. mentalward (6157)  2 years ago

I hear ya, bunnybob. I think our government worries way too much about foreign policies and how the world looks at us and doesn't care enough about it's own citizens, those who put them in office in the first place AND pay their salaries with their taxes. suspicious

My son would make an excellent landscaper. I know because I've been helping him out some by paying him a little to help me around our property (out of my disability money!). But, he's a tall, blonde haired, blue eyed fella... so very NOT Mexican. He doesn't have a chance. HE'S not given welfare, public housing, free training or anything else that the immigrants get because he's a citizen. I guess our government thinks that he should have no problem getting a job but the jobs just aren't there. My son is one of the hardest-working people I know and he'd make an excellent employee if only someone would hire him instead of hiring Mexicans. He's more than willing to accept minimum wage, too, because, as you said, some pay is better than no pay.

And now, with so many American companies moving to foreign soil, it makes the situation that much worse. I just heard of a company right here in Virginia that is moving outside the U.S., leaving 150 more people unemployed.

It's all about greed. I tell ya, if I ever start my own business (which I am thinking about doing), I'll hire only American citizens. I don't care if I'm called prejudiced or not, American's need jobs! It seems that a lot of these unskilled labor jobs are all taken by Mexicans... I've seen way too many crews outside working with not one single, uhh, non-Mexican that it's obvious that those companies are hiring only Mexicans. If they can do that, I can hire only American citizens. Oh, yeah, I'll also INSIST that they speak ENGLISH! angry

thumbuprofl thats ok. if you look at my profile pics, i have some of my tall dark son there that i live with. hes the only one that has a job right now. but i dont think its because he looks foriegn(hes got a lot of native american in him)I think its because he will do any job and he says even some mexicans will not do his job. he cleans porta pottiesblush he'd probably shoot me if he knew i mentioned it. if thats not a nasty job, i dont know what is. he delivers them. picks them up when the event is over and cleans them while things are going on where they are needed. if you see the pic of the one with the kids. you will see hes blondish. lost his job.

I like some of Ray Stevens' music. Right now I can't think of the songs I like but I remember he had some that were pretty good. I think one was about: "he ran through the briars, he ran trough the brambles. He ran through bushes where the bullets couldn't go...etc." Do you remember that one?


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7713)   ranked 19 out of 1,450 in youtube.com  2 years ago

rofl and that would be "the Battle of New Orleans"silly he ran so fast that the hounds couldnt catch him, on down the mississip, to the gulf of mexico. w00t

bigal, I just wasnted to say thank you for your service in the military and I'm sorry that you were treated poorly when you returned to the US from Viet Nam.

Thank you for sharing this hilarious video, I had never heard of Ray Stevens, but you can bet I will be checking out his other stuff. Also was nice to see something funny on a very serious situation, I live in CA and wish that CA would follow right behind AZ. Something needs to be done and I sure hope this new law turns out to be just the thing needed to secure our boarders. As always just my 2 cents worth!!! Happy Mylotting!!!have a nice day


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7713)   ranked 19 out of 1,450 in youtube.com  2 years ago

happy glad you agree. but then it could be because you also live in an area/state with the same problem. our sheriff here in fact said on tv the other day "California should be thanking us as sometimes thats how they sneak in then head on over to california!" rofl my son keeps saying its like they are slowly invading us, just like war, but its so slow and covered up that no one realise whats happening. I remember, 30 yrs ago when i went to a clinic in california to get my youngests baby shots. he was the only one there not mexican. the nurse who was white commented, "They may have lost the Alamo, but they are gaining it all back this way"silly i thought it was a bit weird that a nurse would say that. but now i see what she meant.


myLot reputation of 98/100. beaniefanatic13 (2154)   ranked 577 out of 1,450 in youtube.com  2 years ago

Well I'm one Californian that says thank you. I also say turn the lights off in LA, lol.

I completely see what the nurse meant, everyday!!

I saw that last night on Bill O'Reilly and just heard it on the radio today, too. Mr. Stevens is so funny! I remember cracking up at "The Streak" and his other satires when I was in middle school in the 60's!

The mayor of Columbus said last week that his executive staff cannot do business or meetings in AZ. I emailed him that Columbus would not get any of my money--I would even have my relatives fly into Dayton instead. I told him if he would bother to read the law it protected criminals even more than the federal law it is modeled after. Of course, I've received no reply--with that level of stupidity he is probably functionally illiterate.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7713)   ranked 19 out of 1,450 in youtube.com  2 years ago
