Foreigners do not have more rights than native-born citizens. Non-citizens have no right to vote but have to pay taxes. They have no right to welfare unless they have been working for more than 10 years.
Foreigners who have citizenship have the same rights as native-born citizens.

The don't have more but they have just as many. Because as American's we don't believe our rights are determined by government. Our rights are a gift of our creator.
Ever heard, " We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."
It says all Men not U.S. citizens.

Did you read in today's New York Times that Guatamalans are being targeted for victimization (robbed) in Florida. Seems that they carry cash & are reluctant to turn to the police when robbed. Guess that sorta blows your assertion that they have more rights than those of "us" who were born here.

I don't believe they are given more rights, but I do believe that we give them more then our own people. They live off of our welfare system, and get school grants etc. Perhaps if and american was to go a forgien country I don't believe they would be treated as immigrants are treated here. When they refer to america paved with streets of gold they are referring to everything free handed down to them. I am not against immigration but I do believe they should have to pay just as Americans do!

Because the Lefties scream the loudest. Many of them are immigrants who just got the right to exercise their freedom of speech and such.
And noone wants to be branded a racist.
It's all garbage. And we need to stand up against it.

You're trying to stir up baseless bigotry and hatred. You know damn well they don't have as much rights as you, but you're pretending just so you can make people hate others as much as you do.
