Are you tired of being called an immigrant or conquistadore?

Question

Are you a native born American who is tired of being told you are the immigrant, that you stole somebody's land, that you owe them something because alot of rich people have the same skin color as you, that (even if you're anglo and never been to Mexico) are some sort of conquistadore? If so, answer this question. Comments welcome.

Answer 1

I am very tired of the same post over and over again quote( all of us are immigrants or you are from immigrants) well this is the United States now and I am not an immigrant, my family fought in the revolution of 1776, so my roots go deep in this country and I am not about to give it to Mexico's poor, or to La Raza or any other Mexican group or Mexico.

Answer 2

I know what I am tired of...I am tired of people calling me Mexican because I am Latina and of going to job interviews and being asked where I am from and am I a citizen.... I am Puerto Rican we are BORN citizens I am an American no different from anyone behind the interview desk asking the questions.

Answer 3

I just found out that my ancestry in the United States goes back like, 200 years or more, and I can't vouch for my great x8x10^ 6 grandparents, there, but since they were like, shoemakers or something, I doubt they went around mowing down indians or whatever.
Mexico's got agents in our country, whose main function in life seems to be dreaming up new dirty names to trash on the citizenry of the United States with.

Mexico lost a war with the United States. It happened in the 1800's. Some are still bitter about it. Some are looking for reparations from the US government for it. That's right, another Free Ride seeker. Do we give out the free ride, say 'oh you poor dear' etc? I don't think so, I think it's time to start deporting people. Write to your state legislature, and say in no uncertain terms you'd like to see all the mexican residents repatriated. If enough people did that, or asked direct questions about the clever antics of their local labor boards on the issue, I think we'd start seeing a steady decrease of mexican citizens in the United States. Hospitals need to start turning people away, too. Police departments need to start working with state and national agencies to get a real handle on this whole mess. Citizens need to start volunteering, participating in Neighborhood Watch, that kind of thing. Let's get this over and done with, so the people that REALLY did emigrate legally from Mexico and elsewhere don't have to bear the stigma of being lumped in with 'them', namely the people that are just basically on a spree in the United States.
If I was in office, I think I'd push really hard for 2 years of enforcement-only, and once we've gotten down to the people that actually want to call america 'home', and not just a place to sleep while they rob people etc., then we can start talking about naturalization etc again. But, not before. Can't put the cart before the horse on this one. America may be the Land Of Opportunity, but it was never intended as a Land of Sell All The Crank You Want, Land of Drive-By's, Land Of Human Trafficing,
Land of Sneer At The Cops, none of that. We got our laws, and they need to be enforced. If we need new ones that work better and directly address the problem so as to get it solved as soon as possible, then let's get em passed. That'll give Congress something better to do than sit around dreaming up crazy ways to pre-pre-pretax the great-grandkids you haven't even thought about yet...
