just recently, fairydust posted this comment:


"Look here MATE,
I have dual citizenship in Australia & America, I am entitled to have my say, Its a free country, Australia is a beautiful place,
I doubt you have ever been there though?
Most Australians are amazing people, Australia keeps its conflict to itself, Yes i must agree you are right, Many convicts were taken to Australia, But aboriginals were in Australia first,
I don't deny it, It's a fact!! I have nothing to be ashamed of!!
I HAVEN"T COMMITTED A CRIME!!"

after reading this comment, ask yourself this:
do you think that fairydust is a "true american?"

now don't lose me here, now ask yourself this:
if so, what is the difference from this and the everyday LEGAL mexicans who live in america (and love it) yet still reserve a little love for Mexico?

this is for all those people out there who say loving your homeland country and people makes you a "faulty american"

Didn't bother wasting my time what fairydust wrote. Made up my own opinion by looking at the name, "fairydust".

As an American, I would love to visit Austrailia.
My sister has traveled there many times. She emailed this to me and said, "no wonder I love the Aussies".

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday
to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to
head off potential terror attacks.

A day after a group of mainstream Muslim leaders pledged loyalty to
Australia at a special meeting with Prime Minister John Howard, he and his
ministers made it clear that extremists would face a crackdown.

Treasurer Peter Costello, seen as heir apparent to Howard, hinted that
some radical clerics could be asked to leave the country if they did not
accept that Australia was a secular State and its laws were made by
parliament.

"If those are not your values, if you want a country that has Sharia law
or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you", he said on national
television.

"Immigrants, not Australians must adapt. Take it or leave it. I am tired
of this Nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or
their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali, we have experienced a
surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.

However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the
"politically correct" crowd began complaining about the possibility that
our patriotism was offending others. I am not against immigration nor do I
hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to
Australia.

However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our
country, and apparently some who were born here, need to understand. The
idea of Australia being a multicultural community has served only to
dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Australians we have
our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle.

This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials
and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.
We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese or Arabic, Chinese,
Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you want to become
part of our society,...learn the language.

Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing,
political push but a fact because Christian men and women, on Christian
principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is
certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God
offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your
new home, because God is part of our culture.

We will accept your beliefs and will not question why, all we ask is that
you accept ours and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us. If the
Southern Cross offends you or you don’t like a "Fair Go" then you should
seriously consider a move to another part of this planet.

We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change and we really
don’t care how you did things where you came from. By all means, keep your
culture but do not force it on others.

This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE and we will allow you
every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining,
whining and griping about our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs or
Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you to take advantage of one other
great Australian freedom: THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.

If you are not happy here then LEAVE. We didn’t force you to come here.
You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.

"I’d be saying to clerics who are teaching that there are two laws
governing people in Australia, one the Australian law and another - the
Islamic law. That is false. If you can’t agree with parliamentary law,
independent courts, democracy and would prefer Sharia law and have the
opportunity to go to another country, which practices it, perhaps, then,
that’s a better option" Costello said.

Asked whether he meant radical clerics would be forced to leave, he said
those with dual citizenship could possibly be asked to move to the other
country.

Education minister Brendan Nelson later told reporters that Muslims who
do not want to accept local values should " clear off "

"Basically, people who don’t want to be Australians and they don’t want
to live by Australian values and understand them, well then they can
basically clear off" he said. Separately Howard angered some Australian
Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the
nations mosques.

Ok here is my thoughts "mate". First the stigma for a mexican (illegal) living here working and sending money back to pa-pa is very much frowned upon. Second you could never compare the quality of life in Ausi verses Mexico. I have worked with the illegal population and there are some health issues, ex: TB, AIDS just to name a few. TB being the most worriesome in my opinion. Also most pay no taxes and put there children under our welfare system. Yes it is good to live and let live but as an american we must consider all points and do the best for this homeland. We have a good one. Why else would so many keep coming. By the way remember you have dual citizenship alot of mexicans don't have an american citizenship. And those that do....Welcome to America!!!!!

If legal Mexicans don't reserve a little love for Mexico, one has to wonder at them. Of course we all reserve some love for our homeland, and you particularly would if you were just a legal resident and not a citizen of the new land.

However, the trouble started when people raised Mexican flags over US schools and post offices and flew them on a flag pole above the US flag. There is a difference between loving your homeland and attacking ours.

I've got no problem with a LEGAL resident from Mexico who will always carry a soft spot for the homeland. I can understand that.
I've been to Australia and it is an amazing place with wonderful people.

It's the ones that want to turn America into Mexico that I have a problem with.
G'day onya mate.

I believe you are absolutely right senor(mate). Just like not being disloyal to ones mother because one appreciates ones father. Or using mesquite on the barbecue and drinking a tecate instead of using carbon for the fire and gulping down a good foster beer. Australians can party with the best, that's why they are always welcomed to come surf down under (the border).

FYI it's never been about legal Mexicans who live in America but still have a love for Mexico hell I live in America, have my whole life but I have a love for Russia (or maybe it's just the 9 inches of luscious Russian cock I'm getting every night) It's about the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS there is a difference.

If you have been a dual citizen from birth or childhood, or else became a citizen of another country after already having US citizenship, and the other country in question does not have any laws or regulations requiring you to formally renounce your US citizenship before US consular officials, then current US law unambiguously assures your right to keep both citizenships for life.


Haha, thumbs down for just looking it up, jeez, some people are soo touchy.

You can not have a dual citizenship with the USA and ANY other country. You give up your US Citizenship when you take on another, and you give up your other citizenship when you become an American.

Obviously someone never learned Citizenship 101, American style!

I say you can love the country you live, and the country you have
ethnic ties to...it's not unusual in the USA, Canada, and other multicultural societies, but your first loyalty should always be to the country you live in, because that's where you're earning your living, or those who are supporting you are earning theirs. If you're whatever nationality, and love the country of your ethnic origin and the country you live in, what's wrong with that? What's wrong with maintaining love for your ethnic heritage, because no one, except maybe the indigenious peoples of North America, was originally from Canada and the USA.
