Pizza chain to accept Mexican pesos

Mrs. Dixie

No I don't plan to vote for Hilary and if I did that is my constitutional freedom of choice.
If you go to the Immigration website. Guess what? You can Obtain citizenship in every language. You just need to know American History which sadly most native born Americans do not know.

The point of what I pasted is that people are unaware that we DO NOT have an official language in this country and the bill has been proposed but not passed. Nothing to do about pride. It is called an ammendment not a reivention.
Furthermore, certain individual states such as Florida have English as their official language.

I put myself through Catholic School and University and continue to educate myself. No one handed me a free ride I had to work for it.
You seem to be the one with a lack of awareness. I respect your perception and interpetation of this topic. So I will agree to disagree with you.

All my grandparents that came from Europe had to learn English and pass an 8th grade reading exam. Things have changed.

Why does this topic seem so threatening to you? You need to do a little reflection. You never know where you lineage comes from and who is going to marry into your family.
God works is funny ways so be careful what you think and say.

Attitudes like yours is why this world is so divided.

Karina I don't think you know anything about what you've just stated. For you and others who are slow let me put it to you this way: And Illegal Aztec Indian comes here knowing she is pregnant. She also knows what benifits she and the rest of her family will receive if the baby is born in th US. She gets caught and is able to surpass the legal system, throwing the Cathloic church in there to help her defi-authority and eventually gives birth. She and her family will receive on "TAX DOLLARS" free food, housing, medical, and financial aid. Now, an American woman crosses over to Mexico Illegally. She is caught, not only is she facing atleast 3 years or more in a Mexican Prison. She or anyone else who crosses South Illegally is shown any type of mercy.
My point was why should we show the Mexican's or anyother Illegal mercy? Not very fair is it. As for myself being racist, I am as far from it as you could get. I wish no harm to any infant or person for that matter. I'm not a Politically Correct type of person, and believe that being PC is smaller avenue for socialism. I don't care if someone's feelings get hurt by my words. If they don't like it, oh well. I don't like the way you've spoken of me, but do you see me throwing rude comments your way, nope. IT'S THIS SIMPLE- IF YOU CAN'T FEED'EM DON'T BREED'EM! I DON'T WANT TO SUPPORT THE THIRD WORLD PARASITIC CESSPOOL IMMIGRANTS ANY MORE THAN THEY WANT TO BE REAL AMERICANS WHO WOULD RATHER PAY THEIR OWN WAY IN THIS COUNTRY!

p.s We don't need any Mexican to work here! They have screwed up the whole pay scale for real workers. I think it is time for Operation Wetback 2. For some who have no idea what I am talking about let me explain. President Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of all illegal aliens in order to make the jobs available to American citizens that needed work. Again in 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower deported 1.3 million Mexican nationals (called operation "Wetback") in order that returning American WWII and Korean veterans had a better chance at jobs. It took 2 years, but they deported them. If they could deport the illegals back then, they can sure do it today!! If you have doubts about the veracity of this information, just type in Operation Wetback and you will see that I am not making this up. LOBBIEST WILL BE PUSHING FOR SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS SOON!

GET A LIFE THIS IS BULL CRAP. IT IS HIS BUSINESS HE CAN RUN IT LIKE HE WISHES. HE DOES NOT ASK ANY OF US FOR NOTHING.
S O G E T O V E R I T P E O P L E.

KANA,

I don't think the things you mentioned make you illegal. When I say I am in the middle, I mean this:

I served this country, my country, proudly. I follow the Commander and Chief, no matter what my personal beliefs are, because he is the leader.

Then, I see people, getting rounded up, made fun of, accused, and they are the same descent as I.

We were not taught Spanish growing up, because in those days, being Mexican wasn't tolerated.

Now, on job posters, everyone wants bilinguals. I know Spanish now, but it was always assumed that I did, because of my sirname. My dark hair and dark eyes did not allow me to fit in with whites, unless, they insisted I was Italian. I was too smart to be of Mexican descent - that's what people told me. Mexicans didn't like me because I didn't speak Spanish - thought I was trying to be white.

Now when I apply to places, I don't know what chance I have. That's being in the middle.

Mrs. Dixie, if I offended you....tough! Your story has no basis. And it is purely hypothetical. The truth is no one is running south of the border to feed their kids. And if you truly new the facts you wouldn't have to make up a story. That free money you say illegals get is false. They don't recieve money SSC. But, some states choose to not descriminate against illegal workers and use State tax money from us americans to give to anyone in need of health assistance. If you are truly against these peoples...than I suggest you put down that fruit,etc. you stuffed your face with.

Judge,

I understand what you mean. I appreciate your sincerety. I just want people to embrace other peoples differences. The whole Pizza Patron I think was blown out of proportion. That's really the point I want to make.

To Mr. James,

Go to the welfare office, wic and free clinics see who is sitting in it. Tell me how this benefits the economy. We are paying for them and all of their babies. Are you also saying only mexicans can open up a restaurant? I really do not see how that is beneficial to your state.
Also look at the crime rate in Tulsa, I bet it has gone up in the last couple of years. It is people like you helping run this county into the ground.

Okay,

This is a very simple topic made rough because some people are seemingly unimaginably self-centered. Why would anyone who cares about people, cares about America and its worldwide position, moreover, why would a humane person be reluctant and boldly against the acceptance of international currencies in populated areas like pizza shops or pizza parlors.

From my point of view, all the big and semi-big resteraunts, shops and ATMs, etc, should be more flexible in allowing different currencies, especially the Mexican and Canadian because they are our immediate neighbors. They/ we should offer all French, Spanish and English at minimum to cater people from N.America to utmost ease while doing daily or routinely works, like going to coffee shops and banks.

I support this thoughtful buisnessman and am against all people who are against this guy, unless they are able to lawfully prove me and him wrong.

Havent any of you blanketing wrong statements, every been abroad? Have you every been to European nations, Canada, Mexico, S. AMerica, anywhere?
They accept my cash that was left in my pocket from America. US$ are accepted hassle-free in all or almost all foreign nations and major cities, even in 3rd world countries like India and Pak. But during my trips to Canada, I am always aware that if my credit cards fail, the cash in my briefcase will be used at any store without exchanging for CA $.

It is awfully sad to see " educated " people like many listed before me posting comments which make absolutely no sense. Why would someone discourage this... in fact , Im thinking of opening a fast-food chain just to help foreigners.

Do good. Be good. People are already good to you, maybe unwillingly , but they are { in foreign nations }. So respect it and it will help foreigners visits to America be more enjoyable...something good to write home about.

Because of this illogical commentary being constantly posted here by ignorant people, I was forced to write this. I hope someone gets some inch of sense...
Take it easy!!
Please notice my name...or title.

To those of you that reside north of the border. Or in our case south. I live in the busiest border crossing in the US, Detroit/Windsor. I will tell you a fact and that is 99% of all Detroit business in and around the surrounding tri county area in this border crossing will not convert your funny colored bills from Canada. The other 1% that will are local Banks the bridge/tunnel ammex and an ocosonial Bar that needs the business. Your coins wont even work in bubble gum machines. KEEP YOUR PESOS

Hey Gee,

You need to update your history lessons. History does not change but its perception and interpetation does.

"The first European language spoken in North America in modern times was a Hispanic one, the Spanish language brought over in Columbus's three ships in 1492. St. Augustine, Florida, the oldest city in what is now the United States, was Hispanic too, founded in 1565 by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés. And of course what is now the southwestern United States was Hispanic for several centuries, an outpost first of Spain and then briefly of independent Mexico.

Not that anybody used the word Hispanic in the English language then, however. As a designation for the heritage of Spanish language and culture in our hemisphere, it is newer. We find English writers as far back as 1584 using Hispanicall to refer to Spain. But it was only in about 1889, as nearly as lexicographers can determine, that we realized Hispanic would be a suitably descriptive designation for residents and citizens of the United States who traced their immediate ancestry not necessarily to Spain but to the Spanish-speaking lands to our south.

In the 1970s, with renewed awareness that the United States was peopled from many more directions than England alone, Hispanic American gained popularity--along with similar terms such as Native American, Afro-American (1890) or African American, and Asian American--as part of our burgeoning lexicon of diversity. Hispanic American, generally shortened to Hispanic, displaced the often misleading Spanish as well as the impossibly awkward Spanish-surnamed person. It also recognized a growing sense of community among a varied population whose roots were in many different soils south of the border but whose language and culture gave them much in common.

In the present day, Latino (1946) has emerged as an alternative to Hispanic. It is preferred by many, in part because it acts more like a Spanish word and also because it invokes cultural ties with Latin America rather than Spain."

Obviously this isn't about the money because I've been using U.S. money in Canada and Canadian money the U.S. for decades.

It's funny how every generation goes through this yet we never recognize it - when the Irish came over, they were vilified, attacked, and denigraded by decendents of immigrants who had come before them. Same with the Polish, Germans, Indians, Japanese... most without paperwork or authorization. I know full well there are major issues with illegal immigration, but when are we going to realize this is just the nature of more conservative-minded people to feel threatened by the invasion of outsiders into a territory around which they have chosen to define their worldview. They deem this country their own by no more right than having been on an arbitrarily defined piece of political real estate longer.

It was, after all, James Polk who authorized the invasion of Mexico and stole a third of its land. So, in the grand schem of history, who's invading who? Don't hear too much about that.

Foe Christ sakes, how could any intelligent, person think that buyiny a pizza with pesos is a threat to this country.The pizzas that were being sold are high in fat and cholesterol anyway..With a steady diet like that, the poor Mexicans will become obese and suffer from weight related health problem (diabetes,heart disease, strokes),which is a much bigger financial problem to this coutry..it sounds like the owner is trying to kill them...He should offer a healthier pizza

I think this is hysterical. I've never seen anyone using illegal labor and paying in pesos or rupees or shekels or yuans or whatever else the hundred different nationalities respresented by illegals here in the states use for money. It could only mean that Mex's are sending money north??!! Yipee!!! It's about time they start transferring wealth in this direction. Hooray.

Hate to see the USA get watered down, speak english and use dollars is my thoughts, thats what my ancestors did.

Shakespeare said it best "much ado about nothing." American businesses have the option to accept whatever they want. That, too, is freedom. Do you really think that Disneyland in France only accepts American money.

i think that their shouldnt be a problem on whether pizza patron accepts pesos or not its own by mexican people. i know that its convinent for people who just came from mexico so they can have something to eat. if there are people having problems with that its because they are racist and dont want to change things in America. But isnt America the melting pot for culture??? thats what i thought.

I see a lot of hate from americans to mexicans or hispanic im a busines inmigrant andi might hav i dont sale food or any other mercehandise , i migh have problems with my gramma, but i can say that if i get pay in pesos , is fine with me, money is money and this country is base on money . no hurt fellings

If I were to go to another country, I would go to a bank and convert my money to the local currency. This is AMERICA. We use the dollar.
P.S. On another note, In AMERICA we also speak English. If you don't like it, get the hell out of my country.

I thought I should let you know, I have very good friends that moved here from Mexico. They learned to speak, read and write in english. They are legal immigrants, and they pay for everything with U.S. currency.

ATTENTION AMERICA!

Guess what?

This land doesn't belong to any of us!

The closest that come are the indians that the WHITE immigrants killed off after the indians ACCEPTED

beads in exchange for the Island of Manhattan

A religion forced upon them or to die if not

Being shoved onto reservations, badlands and being almost eradicated.

Part of the territory that is now The "United States" once belonged to mexico.

How is it that all of these people can sit here and sleep at night tell other people that they own this land and other people should learn english when most of our descendants didn't bother with Native American Culture, the language or how they took care of the land.

The just killed them off.

So a pizza store is making money.

You're pissed because....you aren't happy living this American dream on this stolen land?

To everyone who made any racist comment.

Remember, this land was stolen from the people that inhabited it to form this country.

They were killed and put into slavery.

This country was then built up by slavery.

And now,

You want them to start leaving?

Who decides when what job is done?

Everyone who is not native American is a descendant of an Immigrant and has no claim to this land spiritually.

You people are the reason for the miseries seen around the world daily that your eyes hath not ever even seen.

you live a comfertable life, you don't have to kill people to survive.

You drive to work everyday pumping the earth for it's fossil fuels and then polluting it's air.

All for what?

So you can come home and watch television?

And you honestly think this makes you any better than a criminal?

They very thoughts that have been stated are criminal.

The fact that Americans are so blythely unaware of their own past and their sense of entitlement is disgusting.

it's so gross it makes me want to leave this land.

But it's also my home.

But I treat it with respect as I do my neighbor regardless their language or color and that is what America was founded upon ...after they cleaned up the blood and bones that is....
