Americans are Not Racists. There are racist groups in America, but most Americans are not racist, and those that live here for more than two, to three generations are not racist.
Most Americans teach their children to have respect for all nations, that is why Americans donate billions of dollars to countries that claim they are in need. Spend even more billions in taxes, to sponsor the cost of immigration, and to teach immigrants what they need to know to survive in America. If all Americans are deemed racist by the small population of Racists in our country, then every Mexican, Indonisian, African, and so on can be, and will be judged by the actions of the worst. I do not believe all Mexicans are bad, my husband is a third born generation American Mexican, and he would never put Mexico before America. I choose to begin with the greatest offenders of our border laws, and that has nothing to do with race. Stand Tall Americans, Don't be Bullied by those that oppose truth.

How come people on this site think they know more than the President?

I mean, honestly....watching the news does not make you as informed as the Pres.... And for those of you who say he is stupid...we have not had a President who is stupid....you can't get this far in politics by being an idiot. Disagreeing with him is different..

Is there a double standard in the USA; One for Americans and...?

one for illegal immigrants?
My personal experience has seen a person who has no ID, no proof of insurance, no current car registration, speaks little English; crash into a fence and leave the scene without saying anything to property owner after doing approx $1,000 worth of damage to the fence. When the owner, by chance found the culprit, he admitted the wrong doing to the police but couldn't/ wouldn't pay for the damage. The police say they can't do anything. The insurance co says that to process the claim for the damage would make it neccessary to raise their premiums. What would happen if YOU had been the "fence breaker"? Jail? Civil suit for damages? Car being impounded for no reg? Being imprisoned for hit and run/leaving the scene of an accident?
Is this fair ... or is it a double standard?

Are republicans more satisfied and happy than liberals?

Sometimes i get jealous and wonder what it must be like to have everything your way? It seems the liberals are losing on all fronts and the world is crumbling. Does this make conservatives happy to be winning the war of ideas? . Do they enjoy breathing bad air and paying to much for gasoline and having the public schools so poor and so forth. does it really make them happy that so many people have no health insurance? i hope it does because if not then i guess nobody is happy these days. They have had many years of unobstructed power to do good but have done nothing but line their pockets and blow money on war. i hope it makes them happy. Hey the icebergs are melting, the hurricanes are getting worse, the world hates us YEAAAA.
We win?

Why, exactly, don't we (the US) want to consider Spanish a second language?

I know I'm going to get a lot of angry replies for this one, but making Spanish a second language makes perfect sense to me. Think about this for a second: when you go to some other country (anywhere in Europe, Asia, etc.), everyone under the age of eighty speaks perfect English. It is polite to try and learn a few phrases, but you are not expected to speak their language fluently (in fact, in Japan, they refuse to believe that anyone not born there can speak their language...this got them in trouble in WWII, but we won't go there). So why don't we do the same thing? Now, I'm not suggesting that people who immigrate here from a Spanish-speaking country shouldn't learn passable English--on the contrary, they should make sure they can speak it fairly well before they arrive--but I just think it wouldn't hurt to be a little more cosmopolitan when it comes to languages. It's not going to threaten English in any way; it would still be the first language. So why is it such a touchy issue?

Isn't it funny how an impoverished grandma can rile ya, but an illegal stealing your identity, don't?

I am not racist by any means. I am a tenth generation American, with an extensive heritage blending for more than two hundred years.
Illegal Immigration is not about Racism, Americans are Americans no matter your previous homeland was, or your color.
However, proper immigration is about respecting our laws, and protecting the citizens you want to welcome you.
The only people that will call you racist, are those that do not want you to stand up and fight against them.
They know as well as anyone else, Illegal Immigration is the greatest danger to America, and they will use fear of a back lask on the greatest offenders, and call it racism, in a lame attempt to stop you. it won't work with me, besides I don't know an American of any color that has not been called racist, at one time another.
Illegal Mexican Imm. and Mexican Americans are the only ones screaming it about race, and by the millions that took to the streets to defy us. It didn't shut down the counrty, or me.

I know a guy that is here ilegally, he has 2 jobs, he pays $60 in taxes a week in the first one and $40 in the second income tax. He also pays personal property tax and sales tax. He does not recieve government money. He went to the ER twice and both times paid his bill in full. So why are people saying that illegal immigrants do not contribute to the economy?

If someone asked you to explain the vital differences between a Democrat or Republican can you answer?

Many people talk about the Democratic and Republican parties, but don't really know what the two parties offer, how they differ on political philosophy or how they represent the people. If someone asked you to explain what the parties mean, can you give an intelligent answer?
