I mean how can we be taking away what belongs to them and enrich our country and still tell them to stay back there in poverty?

we need African gold and oil to support the illegals in America...I promise. just as soon as we remove the illegals we will stop "taking" African resources.

I believe we pay a market price for anything we take, and the people applying for admission have no ownership rights their own government would accept as to that oil and gold. Also, the people who get the benefit of any oil deals are not the people who would be paying for the schools and other services poor immigrants use.
However, what I think is unfair is that people coming illegally from other countries so swamp our services that there is no tolerance for expanding immigration from countries where people come here legally.
There is a major imbalance between those who benefit from immigration of unskilled labor and those who pay the costs for it. Until that is addressed, I don't see the issue going away.

If the governments controlling the oil and gold in Africa are giving it away, you should probably go complain to them. Why not repost your question and direct it to the government where we are supposedly stealing oil and gold. I'm sure they are on Yahoo Answers looking to answer your questions.

Uh, I'm pretty sure someone is being paid for the oil and gold. Perhaps you should go to the source of the problem with Africa -- the corrupted leaders who keep all the money for themselves and starve their own people and allow them to die from disease, famine, and war.
And seriously, what are we going to do? Take all the the world's poor into our country? Please grow up and be practical.

Um, I'm pretty sure the governments of those countries where companies are getting resources get paid pretty well. Why don't you talk to your government instead, and find out what they did with the money? Hmmm....the sooner america's energy-independent, the better off we'll be...

Your not being specific enough. I though we paid for the oil, which army did we use to take it from you?
