Sorry to disappoint you ... my parents were not born here -- neither was I ... lest you forget -- EVERY "pure blooded American" can trace his/her roots back to an immigrant ... even the "Native Americans" migrated from Asia tens of thousands of years ago ... so, "there is no such animal".
No it's not I've been brought up when you break the law you don't get rewarded and when your in this country illegally your breaking the law and when a child is born to a illegal that child should not be rewarded with citizenship .
I say guy, my stepfather was illegal for awhile then he decided to go back to Mexico and become a citizen because he felt wrong being illegal and having to worry about being deported. So he went back to Mexico and started the process the right way. That was five years ago and now after about a couple grand he is nowhere nearer to becoming an American citizen than you or I are to becoming Mexican citizens.
My brother in law is from Mexico he came to this country in the 60s with his family it took them awhile but there u.s. Citizens . All I can say is good luck to your step father and your family sometimes doing thing the honest way doesn't always work out the way you want it .
What happened to the native Indians was wrong and a long time ago today we have laws and I guarantee that if I went to Mexico illegally my ass would be in worse shape then illegals coming to this country .
What happened to the Native Indians should not be forgotten, and if you want to blame people for the economy and the lack of jobs then blame all the "WHITE" people that keep outsourcing them overseas to sweatshops with little children inside them. Stop shopping at Walmart and form a boycott against them if you really want to make an impact.
Not if we don't stop hiring them and giving them welfare. If we don't start deporting them when they are caught, they will continue to cross our borders. As far as anchor babies go, they need to go back to their parents homeland. That was not set up for just anybody, it was set up so slaves could stay here and be free with their children. Not just anyone who crosses the border and drops a kid. I think all illegals should be marched right back where they came from. It is not fair to the immagrants who came here the LEGAL way and work hard to be AMERICAN. The LEGAL IMMAGRANTS show respect for this country and learn the language, and are "for the most part" self supporting.
There's just too much money (and power) in it. Believe it or not, but Illegal Alien Stuff has overtaken the two big leaders; Illegal Drugs Stuff and Homosexual Stuff; as the No. One Government Money/Power Project . I know it's hard to believe, but eventually it was going to gobble everything up on the Stuff Chart; so here we are!!! Welcome to the United States!!
If we improve security, finish putting up fences, and enforce the laws already on the books then we would greatly reduce illegal entrance to the USA. Oh yeah, cut off their welfare, they'll stay away.
Oh bullocks, all that's happened is welfare and don't come to me saying that is was all made for illegal immigrants, as for the lets all hate America program that started with bad presidencies and wars. Don't act as if we're some bloody victim.
There were no government welfare programs when the original immigrants came to this country and the progressives hate for the classical American concept of liberty started well before the 20th century even began.
Try some social, economic and political history courses and get back to me when you grow up.
Oh sod off, don't make us out the martyr, it's not as if America is the all innocent choir boy, we've flubbed up at some points. And when the original immigrants were here there wasn't welfare needed, they stole. Next time remember the most rudimentary ways this country got most of its land before trying to tell me off about some history lesson.
