Did everyone forget?

Quite interesting is how everyone debates about illegal aliens being allowed in etc. Did everyone forget that everyone living in the usa (except american indians) are foreigners? Now that i reminded everyone of that... why give new immigrants such a hard time? They're just looking for a better life! and i think most do have good intentions to help build our communities...

    Remember, they are illegal immigrants. They shouldn't have the same rights as those that were born and raised in this country. They shouldn't be allowed to live off the system, they should pay taxes just like us hardworking americans. I'm tired of working my *** off just so illegal immigrants can live here for free. My ancestors that came over in the early 1900's had to work and pay taxes so they could be american citizens. immigrants don't have any rights in this country.

    Because there are rules and laws established that everyone needs to abide by. There are ways of becoming a citizen here, so there are no excuses. And yes our ancestors were immigrants (and some was not by choice), not us. So the rules that we have now are here for a reason. If we didn't have any rules about immigration, America would have been destroyed by terrorist a long time ago.

    Weak argument...and fallacious. The United States Of America, as a nation, was founded by the colonists from Britain. The USA now encompasses the 48 contiguous states, plus Alaska, Hawaii, and a couple minor territories.

    LEGAL immigration ONLY!

    in the beginning happy BIRTHDAY! 2d, the day isn't over yet. have you ever concept according to probability they'd spring a marvel on you? third, it relatively is not some thing to rigidity approximately if some human beings forget approximately your birthday, hell I forget approximately mine each and all the time, and (damn it, all of them are so hell bend on reminding me that i'm virtually 50!!). What you could desire to rigidity approximately is that certainty that they are loosing their memory SO youthful. I advise there's a popularity for a ailment like that, and that i won't be able to spell it so I won't. final yet no longer the least. Your existence is in simple terms too important to in easy terms ended it for not greater effective reason then the certainty which you think of no person cares for you. have you ever lived unloved so a ways? Even then existence is a present day from god and in easy terms he can take it away, and would desire to you rush to end it till now time, think of what you could omit out in existence, and who could be extraordinarily harm and sense responsible for something of their lives. Is that what you relatively want, to make your acquaintances and kin sense responsible for some thing so human. it relatively is an extremely petty way of thinking, to no longer point out infantile. So i could advise you're taking this present day to enhance up. And via the tip of the day they do no longer nonetheless remember. Why in simple terms doll up, like a christmas tree, get cake, blow a candle and supply all of them particularly it. And spend the night out on the city, and enable them to stew in THAT GUILT.

    My ancestors came here, legally. They went through all the red tape, came through Ellis Island, etc. They came here speaking very little to no English, but slowly began to learn this language with the help of their children going to the schools. They learned to read this language..

    They became citizens of the USA.

    they placed their hands over their hearts and pledged allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.. they NEVER referred to themselves as ------- American, but as American - PERIOD!

    Their children, men and women, fought in our wars..

    Please, learn the difference between "LEGAL" and "ILLEGAL"

    Actually the LAW is we don't just let illegal aliens in, they ILLEGALLY COME HERE!

    Now, Let me give you a much needed history lesson.

    The " NATIVE AMERICANS" came here in two different groups from Asia, one group committed genocide on the other ( Don't believe me, look it up) before settling in America.

    Immigrants are different from illegals.
