@@@I love it
Your lack of information is formidable.
As a fairly new citizen (after paying taxes for over 25 years - I hope this will keep me in good graces) I sometimes am ashamed of having to call myself part of your country. Yes, I still refer to it as that and why not. I was more or less forced by your laws to do so. Please check out probate laws for non-citizen spouses. Quite an incentive.

Your ignorance of the TOS is quite formidable.
If you are ashamed to be part of this country, remember you are not being held captive here by the rest of us.

I do understand the tax issues but do not understand why you are ashamed to be a US citizen.

When I read this I was visioning Immigration police with a gun behind you forcing you to become American! Then realize that citizenship is not a RIGHT.. its a privilege. If one were unhappy with the laws.. leave. And the audacity to think people would not object to this type of sentiment? Reminds of these Indian students I knew in Australia who whined about Australians (called them racists, etc.), yet expected to be approved for permanent migration to Australia! Such hateful attitudes!

Really, I am amazed to see so many hateful Americans (well... those who post here are a minority!!!). could you remember that you are ALL immigrants at one time or another.
I am not sure of how I found this topic....
I am planning to immigrate to the US, not illegally, and not living on tax money payers, but to buy a property... and work for the benefits of you who consider yourselves "privileged". Although I am 66, I consider I can still BRING money to the country I am in.
I am originally from France, had to leave it many years ago, because in THEIR opinion, I was too old to get a job corresponding to my expertise . But THERE, all illegal immigrants have social and medical rights immediately. I have mine (I paid all my life), so I won't take advantage of any US system! I have lived (legally) in several other countries.
I want to be legal, I need, for what I know so far, to find a sponsor, I hope I will get a permanent visa (and I will not expand my reasons here), but certainly not to be a "privileged" US citizen.
Some of you enter a thread without knowing what the person asking intends to do. That person with her mom is WORKING to benefit this country, right?
Please put your guns away, be more open to foreigners. In France we have a LOT of illegals, they don't seem very motivated to get them out... well... I will not march with my gun up.
Anyway, the forum in general is very helpful, so I guess I just have to ignore unpleasant replies (that I never had to my posts). Thanks to all positive members. And merry Christmas and happy new year.
