As a Native American Indian, it is my duty to remain in this country of my ancestral people, but it is also my calling to travel to a foreign land and learn for a short while the ways of another people. When I return I shall travel no more but instead turn myself to my people and teach them all that I’ve learned from this world.
Regardless of what the average American might say, the Indian is a bitter token of their ownership of this land, because we’re always that bitter reminder of their greed. They cry foul when they have to endure Mexicans who come to this country who can’t speak our language and say they should learn our ways but when they can’t find cheap labor to pick their fruit they again cry foul. They go to other countries to fight a war against a country they vaguely think had some connection to acts of terrorism committed here but when other countries point out that they were wrong to have done so again the cry foul. They set policy in foreign lands and tell these people that they will learn the peaceful ways of democracy, but did they learn our ways when they came here?
The Indian is not welcomed here because he’s a blight to the American cultural image. He is given his piece of land and asked to go away. He is bullied into assimilation into the American culture and if he looses his cultural identity, so much the better. He is met with outrage when he is given the opportunity for self advancement because the BIA allows him that opportunity. Yet for all these reasons for why we’re not welcomed in this country, we will stay. To not do so would be an insult upon our past and to those who believed in our heritage to our land, for though we do not own the land we do belong to it, or as my great great great grandfather had once said:
“I claim a right to live on my land, and accord you the privilege to return to yours.”

It depends on the individual. some people would place self respect above everything else while others would continue with it. It all comes down to the values like dignity, self respect. as far as staying in the country is considered there can be other factors like money, opportunity to excel etc. which can compel an individual to in that country where he is not welcomed. But i think ur self respect should outweigh these monetary factors. One should not stay in a country where he/she is not welcomed

generally, if a country did not want me I would pack my little bags and leave; however, it would have to be for a serious infraction of the law. I wouldn't leave if I felt that I did absolutely nothing. I would fight extradition. Another thing would be on my mind. Do I like this country? Do I really want to stay? If I am ambivalent and the situation is a tough one I would probably leave. It all has to do with the circumstances and the seriousness of the situation.

Basically I agree. I specifically accept as true with this paragraph: "The visible resolution is effortlessly to not present foreigners any welfare past what the usual decency of a civilised nation calls for. An even larger resolution isn't to delude ourselves that a welfare state is a well proposal within the first position. It sounds satisfactory, however it's counter-effective." I additionally suppose there's a change among an immigrant and a refugee. Immigrants may also be referenced. We can monitor down whether or not they paintings good, pay their costs and are freed from a crook list. Refugees are a lot more problematic to monitor. After WWII we took in plenty of refugees. Most grew to become out to be special additions to Canada. Some grew to become out to be Nazi's or Fascists looking to conceal. It is a threat that every person who takes in refugees faces. It isn't insurmountable (although I recognize a couple of politicians who suppose it's lol) however it's problematic. It isn't specific. It is lifestyles. Deal with it and get on with it or do not manage it and feature a greater concern. From this distance, it looks that S.A. didn't manage it very with ease and are actually confronted with the greater concern. And lining them up in opposition to a wall and capturing them isn't an answer! It simply lowers all to an excessively low usual denominator. If you suppose you're by myself in that - you're now not. We have all needed to be trained or are nonetheless looking to be trained easy methods to manage it. In South Africa, it's mainly tough to peer the bushes for the woodland. From right here it's mainly tough to peer the woodland for the bushes that's to mention, all of us have our shortcomings. If any individual people had THE reply, we could be hailed as the following messiah. Not retaining my breath on that one!

Okay, let's say you inherited a house from your father in a rather nice neighborhood. But you're of a different race and your neighbors don't like you because they're all the same race.
As soon as you move in to your new house, some of the neighbors are SO disgusted by your presence that they just pick up and move away. The rest of the neighbors grab their guns and any other weaponry they might have and they're coming to kill you.
They've broken the windows, kicked in the door, coming up through the basement, they're all around you and they're attacking your wife, your children, your dog, and all of you are fighting as hard as you can to protect yourselves and your property, and somehow you manage to beat them back.
Now whether you wanted to or not, you have invested your blood into this property. It's not what you wanted, it wasn't your intention, you just want to live in peace with all of your neighbors, but all of your neighbors tried to destroy you. Should you have just let them kill you? Should you then pack up and move away and let them steal your father's house away from your children?
Now you've fought for it; now it's yours by blood as well as by birth. Now that you've won the right to inhabit your property and live their in peace. They should at least respect you, right? But they don't. Every few years they come and try to take over your property again.
Are you really going to sit here and say that after all you've accomplished, after all the times you've had to fight and you've won, after all the blood, sweat and tears you've put into this house to make it what it is, are you really just going to give it up and walk away?
The aforementioned is a fight that has taken place in numerous neighborhoods across the United States in the 50s and 60s, and the reaon we have the society that we have today is because people were willing to fight -- and die -- for their right to exist right alongside everybody else.
Should Israel be any different simply because their Jews?

The only thing that would make me stay in a country where I wasn't welcome was fear of death any where else. If I thought my family wouldn't be safe in my old country or any place else we might move to, I'd certainly stay in a country where at least I could be hated and safe...otherwise my @$$ would be out of here so fast my shadow wouldn't have time to catch up.

Frankly it's the "I'm here, what'cha gonna DO about it?" mindset.
One idea would be an open petition from the people of the United States to ask the government of Mexico, such as it is, to start passing the word to its' citizens that if they're not in the US legally, they need to move home...

Earning lively hood is the main concern and it may make one to stay back in the country, even though one is not welcome there.
Sense and behaviour is for the only people with full belly.
