Why does everyone gripe about immigrants?
Who out there considers themselves Americans ? Why dont we just remove the statue of Liberty and all it stands for and what it tells immigrants ? Who among you is all truly a full blooded American ? The only true bonafide American is the American Indian. Im sure if you look into your ancestory that your ancestors all came from different countries. And if they were forbidden entry to this country where would you be now ? Try listening to the news. Immigration to the USA is at an all time low right now because of our economic situation. Im tired of listening to all of this baloney. If someone is less fortunate than you and is trying to better themselves by coming here, then we should turn them away right ? Thats why this country is in the situation its in right now because of greed and hipocrasy. I am a Native Indian American and proud of that fact, and im not against people immigrating here from other countries. If i was i would tell about 75 % of you to go back where your ancestors were from. THINK ABOUT IT...

I agree with you 100%. Too many Americans keep whining about illegal immigrants but the fact is that either them or their ancestors were immigrants at some point in time.

How much do you pay in income tax? Some of us pay 40% of a hard-earned salary after going to college for 6 years and struggling to get our heads above water, and we see it go to illegals as welfare, public housing, public education, and utility subsidies. How many kids do you have in grammar schools that are U.S. tax-payer funded, but teach to an ESL level because the over-crowded classrooms are half illegal children? What level of education do you think most illegals have? The majority don't even finish HS, so they are a ground swell of uneducated, unskilled, welfare-in-waiting recipients. How many such people do you think the middle-class in the U.S. can sustain before the whole lifeboat goes under? People like you who claim that our borders should be open to anyone wanting an opportunity cannot see beyond the end of their noses. How much pollution do one billion people create? How crowded are the freeways and cities? How many kids are there per classroom? How much strain can our power grids sustain? Why don't we invite over all of Africa and the war-torn Eastern European population? Your argument is very naive and not very well thought out. Do you support some of these illegal families that you so freely invite over? At some point the U.S. needs to close the floodgate of immigrants or the whole country will go under. That date was about 5 years ago. We simply cannot continue to sustain a massive growth in the impoverished without all being pulled down to a third-world level in every respect.

LOL.
Maybe immigration is at an all time low (I very much doubt that) because *illegal* immigration is at an all time high. The "undocumented" population has doubled over the past 15 years. What happens when it doubles again? And again? You're telling me this doesn't bother you? Then I doubt you are a Native American. You are probably a white liberal from some lilly white New England state...

you're asking why persons are griping approximately immigrants getting reward, no longer some judges who deport. As a registered nurse in a coaching well-being facility, I take place to be responsive to first hand on the subject of the excellent mounting expenditures of those illegals who enter the ER-no longer able to pay on an identical time as individuals war to stay. well-being facility workers have seen and heard each pitiful tale there is to take heed to on the desperate pleas of Illegals and their call for to be dealt with 1st or they're going to scream racist. Hospitals everywhere in the U. S. are final as a consequence because of the fact physicians and nurses are required via regulation to handle everybody. So regardless of Illegals lack of ability to pay, we supply loose scientific scientific care. yet... bear in mind us docs and nurses do no longer artwork for loose.

Native Indian American? Well actually, there is no such thing as a "Native American" since humans are not native to the Americas. The only place where people are truly natives is Africa, where the human race first evolved. American Indians are descended from people who emigrated to the Americas via a land bridge between Siberia and Alaska thousands of years ago during the Ice Age. So you, Native Indian American, are no more American nor have any more claim (other than being here first) to this land than anyone else. However, your Native American ancestors were conquered by my American ancestors of European descent. So by the rules of conquest, this land now belongs to me and my people, not yours.

I love how you conveniently leave out the world illegal at the before the word immigrants. Fact is no one complains about legal immigrants we all like and love them hell even legal immigrants hate illegal immigrants.
I consider myself American, you know how? BECAUSE I WAS BORN HERE! My family that migrated here oh around 200 years ago were the immigrants but everyone since then IS an American.
Fact of the matter is illegal immigrants are breaking the law and costing US tax dollars for it.
Oh yeah just in case you didn't know Native Americans aren't really natives of America all human life originated from Africa. Your ancestors were just the first ones to find the American's.

Living in the past is for losers, who cares who was here first, that's something those whiny pro-illegals chumps worry about to defend crime and the breaking of the laws we have today.
People like you will be the downfall of the U.S., your parents must be proud.
I don't believe your American Indian anyway since your barking off so many other blatant lies.
- Anonymous1 decade ago
Your one delusional liar and totally uneducated when it comes to the history of the U.S., Your parents must be proud, not.
Why is it pro-illegals don't know history and lack even a basic education.
Quite you crying and whining dude, nobody give a flying crap whether you get pissed when people show obvious concerned about immigration of this nation, since people like you don't give a damn about the U.S., it's becoming situation or it's future because you have mommy and daddys welfare check to fall back on.

That's a very preachy statement. Just because you are a full-blooded American doesn't mean you can tell me how to think. Why do American Indians always try to keep the moral high ground.

Well, if they come to better themselves, that's one thing. Why do most Asian immigrants run successful circles around all the others? They DO better themselves.
The leeching off of the system by all the others for welfare and health care and not paying taxes is what p*sses me off.

A very good point. I'm not sure that talk of legal and illegal immigrants helps. The first invaders were illegal immigrants so it's difficult to see how much of what followed is "legal." I am not all that sure that talk of immigrants sponging helps either. The first immigrants and many others after them became rich through exploiting people and resources through force of arms or manipulation, which is not that much more different from this so called sponging today.
