If you live in your own country, what ever country that might be. If you feel your country SUCKS, and you want to move to a better country, GET IN LINE AND WE'LL BE HAPPY TO LET YOU IN!
If you live in USA now, You are an American too, And need to act as such (pay taxes, obey laws, speak English, learn our history, vote, and even observe Independence Day (Which is NOT on the 5th of May). My grand parents came here from another country and did all of these things. I'm certain it was very difficult and they were probably un-welcomed. I am only three generations from Ellis Island. Should I insist on an interpreter? Should I need or expect to have everything explained to me in my native language? Nope - For some reason I don't know any German or Polish - BECAUSE I DON'T LIVE IN POLAND OR GERMANY!!
Above all an American must TOLERATE and even RESPECT all other "AMERICANS" no matter what color, race, or religion they may be. (for info on being an "American" please see previous paragraph),
Put it this way:
If your great-great-great grandfather somehow "owned" a giant ranch (in any country) with acres of land and plenty of water and other resources for all of his descendants and associates, including your family and yourself, would you put a fence around it? Or can I sneak in a stay for a while? I'll shovel dirt and work real hard, okay? and would it be okay if I bring my family, and my extended family?

We need to make our congressmen listen...we need to flood their offices with e-mails insisting they harshly enforce immigration laws...without showing preference for the Mexican Illegal population which has invaded our land....
We need to insist on the publicizing of the NAFTA highway, and get the voice of the people involved. Why should the people build this highway with their money and not have a voice?
We must insist that English be the OFFICIAL LANGUAGE of the United States, meaning all official, legal or governmental transactions be done ONLY IN ENGLISH. Anyone not understanding English must provide their own translator....
We must punish employers of illegals with stiff fines...use these monies to deport illegals.....
We must treat illegals who steal Social Security numbers just like anyone else, as one committing fraud...and incarcerate them with a work program designed to repay the victim and pay for their incarceration.
Just a beginning............

Just because you are in America does not mean that you are American. Also the 5th of May is not Mexico's independence day. It is sad that your parents deprived you of the better jobs, since they had the ability to teach you German, but didnt. If we (all natural born citizens) cannot get along, how do you expect that other countries will? Also since alot of natural born Americans are not nice to immigrants (regardless of status) how are they not supposed to take offense? About your hypothetical situation...If the people outside were starving and I had a great ranch, why would I NOT invite them to share in my wealth, I could use some ranch hands.

Want a shot of moonshine?
You have a right to be angry. This we owe attitude stinks.
And the ranch story--forget it. Funny I wonder if her home is open to all the people in the slums-they are poor. They need Medical-I wonder how much of her check goes for it---most or just your coffee money? She is so kind to have her home like that. If she leaves her address we can sent more--a flood that is non stop. She doesn't mind -what a saint-you would think there would be a TV show about her.

I think legal immigration is ok, it needs to be regulated, the process needs to be followed, and illegal immigration needs to be done away with.
