That's how you know you live in a great country. The day people stop risking their lives to come to America to live the American Dream is the day we stop been the greatest country on earth. Who for example would risk their life to get into China or India?

As Ronald Reagan said, America is like a city set up on a hill that cannot be hid. I'm glad that the whole world wants to come here. No matter what the xenophobes say, we are a country of immigrants and America will always be a place that attracts and welcome all stripes of immigrants from legal to illegal.

In the words of Lady Liberty, I'll close by saying:

Quote:
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Hooray to America, land of immigrants and greatest country on earth!

Well, that's quite a position you have taken.
Have you ever been to AZ? If not, you ought to take a trip. Immigrants have been controlled in numbers for years and years. Goodness knows, we the US of A, do not have the resources needed to support the entire world population if they all should decide to come here. But illegals don't care about those numbers. They don't care about the money that regular US citizens have to pay out when they get sick, are homeless, are criminals and put in jail, or when their children need education. And alot of them get wages without paying taxes or social security or the stuff we, the US citizens, have to pay. Illegal is Illegal. That's why we have laws. I could not disagree with your opinion on this more.

America has no use for illiterate people who can't speak English.

FYI, we are no longer a land of "immigrants". That was long ago. We are nation of Americans today that way outnumbers our immigrant population.

We do not welcome illegal aliens. Why do we have immigration laws then? Why does every nation on this earth have immigration laws?

All lawbreakers take risks when they break the law and we are to find it honorable when illegals do the same? The American Dream is for the asking not to be taken without asking first. Illegals may have their American Dream while making it an American nightmare for us. Guess we don't count though, right?

Here we go with the xenophobe smear again. For the umpteenth time, xenophobia is a fear of strangers. Just who is a stranger in our country? We already have every ethnic group and race living in our country legally. We take in over 1 million legal immigrants annually. I am so sick of the lies, smears and insults by the pro-illegals!

Any Country that rewards people for ignoring their immigration laws by providing Anchor Babies with free welfare, section 8, food stamps AND pays to educate Illegal children all while rewarding their ILLEGAL parents will alway be popular.

They are also the largest group here illegally. Yet they continue to whine.

Tell that to the farmers who employ them to pick your vegetables so that you can buy them cheaply in big chain supermarkets.

That's illegal.

Even Cesar Chavez opposed that.
