I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas as my parents and their parents were before me. My great grand parents (one side of the family) did come over from Italy, the other side from England and their enter to this county was legal (under the current laws at the time of their entry). I would say I have every right to be here.

The law of humanity ultimately is not what is 'legal' because after all what is legal? Legal is anything a group of people decide it will be the law of the land, whether they have the right to make that decision or not. For instance when my ancestors came to America this continent was populated by free independent nations with their own laws, however my ancestors had more firepower and installed their concept of legality. Then their descendants rebelled against the European nations and made their own laws. Since the borders of the many American nations have been moving constantly and every time the borders move so do the laws of that particular piece of land. So what is legal? whatever any one group of people say it is. If another group of people doesn't like those laws they simply break them and make their own set of laws. Many people are migrating from one part of America to another in today's world from Bolivia to Argentina from Brazil to Venezuela, from El Salvador to Mexico, from Mexico to the United States, from Peru to Chile etc. any one of these nations can regulate the flow of people so long as these regulations are something these people (the migrants) are willing to live with, if they attempt to stop the flow of people in time it turns violent and the borders get changed. Mexico allowed United Statesians into it's territory, eventually the United Statesian outnumbered the Mexicans in California and Texas these people rebelled (with the support of the US) and a war of expansion was in place, when it was all over Mexico had lost over 1/3 of it's territory. Today the flow has reversed, Mexicans are moving into California and Texas what will happen when there are more Mexicans than United Statesians in California and Texas? only time will tell...

I was born and raised here. My family go back to native american decendants. All of our politicians are criminals. They all line there pockets with our money. Since when should a congress man make more money than a doctor. The war is legal becaus congress aproved it. It has not been prove nor could it ever be proven that bush is in office illegaly. For that mater clinton lied under oath. People say he shouldn't have been investigated for that but what I ask is how can he be commander of our troops if he doesn't uphold our military code of justice. In the military adultury is against the law. He was commander and chief so he should have to be held acountable for the same laws his troops are. I want all politicans to start being held accountable for their actions. I want them to be put on truth serum (LOL). Atleast we could get the truth out of them during interviews and prior to the elections. I also want our immigration laws enforced. That is how the citizens of the united states got here. If you are an illegal then we know you got here by breaking the law so go back.

Check the date, it's 2006!! We have had laws on illegal entry into the U.S.A. for a long time now. When our ancestors came there were no laws or they came through Ellis Island. That was then, this now. We Do have laws and American's DEMAND they be enforced. We have laws for a reason, to control the number of people entering our country and to screen them for criminal activity in their home country and for disease. We want to know who is coming here, where they are coming from and why. We want to catch thieves, murderers, pedophiles, terrorists BEFORE they come into the U.S.A. If you don't want to live in a safe country, go to Mexico. There are laws being broken every day. We don't just throw them out the window because 'some' get broken. We try to catch and penalize the criminals. We cannot close our eyes to 20 million people breaking our immigration laws.
You defend the illegal immigrants, yet you cry you want a better place for your kids to live because they aren't accustomed to what's going on in NJ, well, how will they like living in a country where they have to speak Spanish, where they will have to compete for jobs where the Latino's get special treatment because a Latino is in charge of hiring, where neighborhoods are destroyed due to the sloven living habits of Hispanics, where you can't walk down the street anywhere for fear of being raped, robbed, jeered at or worse, where schools are no longer teaching our kids, hospitals are not able to care for everyone, many are closed down, laws are not enforced, think it over. America has already gone through a lot of changes we don't need any more.
