Did we have much choice? If, I have this straight, way back when, the settlers of this country were your out-casts. Y'all tried to control it but we settled that matter around 1776.

QuoteWhat makes you so special?
The fact that he's here legally, and in accordance with the current governing law of the land? The fact that he is a citizen? The fact that he was born within the borders of the US (and hence, is a citizen)?
Just a few things that might make him "special". Well that and he's one of the tallest people I've ever met.

QuoteI agree that you guys have a problem with illegal immigration, but it's too funny that you so openly put the blame on the lefties. Don't forget who's in power right now and who is turning a blind eye to the problem only to appease the Latino vote. It's everyone's problem and fault, not just the lefties ...
The fault for this is on both sides because like you said both sides including the Right, will not address the issue in order to get the MEXICAN (not Latino) vote. Very very few of them have pure Latin blood lines. Aztec is much more prevalent among them.
Still; although politicians from the Right will not address the issue for fear of loosing votes, most of the voters on the are fed up. On the contrary most lefty voters have there head in the sand about all this and are calling the rest of us racists.
If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass.

I think most people fled to the US not because they were outcasts but for the same exact reasons they do today - to make (or perceive they can make) a better lives for themselves and their families. The only difference is now, a tourist can barely make it past immigration without a struggle, let alone someone coming to settle there.
I for one am extremely glad you guys won your independence from the British. I don't think it's right for one country to be goverened by another, in an empirical way like what the Brits tried to do.

As i said, he might be there legally, born and bred. But trace his blood lines back. Somewhere you will find his ancestors who were not born and raised in the States, and who were not there legally. Just because his ancestory have moved on several generations, why should that change the fact that people now want to do exactly what his ancestors did way back when?
Anyone now legal in the States who was born and raised there got lucky. Somewhere, if you trace the family history back, you will find settlers who came over to make a life for themselves. They got in before immigration laws were tightened to the extent they are today. It's nothing short of luck and it will not stop people from trying to have a similar life to the ones anyone lucky enough to be a US citizen wants for themselves and their family.
Now, the argument about whether this is right or wrong is different. All i'm saying is, unless you are 100% blood line Native American, somewhere at some point, your ancestors were immigrants themselves.

There is also an extremely large difference in what you can get when you are here. Today's immigrants have access to a large set of publicly funded social services.
For what it's worth, I'd personally be in favor of totally open borders and immigration, coupled with zero social programs.
Right on! This country is OURS now. Those of us in the new millenium don't have much control over what happened over 100yrs. ago. This is the way it all played-out. To be honest, I'm not too thrilled with what happened to the Native Americans, either. There ain't a whole helluva lot I can do about that. I can do something about the here and now. Here and now, we have an illegal immigration problem. I think it's time our elected officials listen to the people and start doing something about the problem. JMO!

In your first post you stated:
How is it your country? If you and others are arguing that your country is being invaded yet are not native Americans, how can they invade a country that your own ancestory "invaded" themselves?
Isn't that double standards? Sure you were born and raised there, but so are many Mexican immigrants offspring too. What makes you so special?
