Is this how other people trying to get into the U.S. see living in the U.S.?
A Russian arrives in New York City. As a new immigrant to the United States he stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, "Thank you Mr. American for letting me into this country, giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care, and a free education!"
The passerby says, "You are mistaken, I am a Guatemalan.."
The man goes on and encounters another passerby. "Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in America ."
The person says, "I not American, I'm Iraqi."
The new arrival walks farther, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand, and says, "Thank you for wonderful America !"
That person puts up his hand and says, "I am from Middle East. I am not American."
He finally sees a nice lady and asks, "Are you an American?"
She says, "No, I am from Africa."
Puzzled, he asks her, "Where are all the Americans?"
The African lady checks her watch and says, "Probably at work."
There is not such thing as a true American. Only the natives are true Americans. The USA is a 200 year old country constantly maintained by immigrants from numerous immigration waves.
You'd take trailer trash on welfare over a new immigrant that still has some desire to work?
This is a nation of immigrants. Either accept immigrants or give it back to the natives and everybody go home.
A quarter + of my state are on welfare, immigrants on welfare aren't the problem.
I accept immigrants you come here legally, not those that break the law. Isn't that what all the dems talk about in gun control threads, how everyone should follow the law no matter what and should know better?
