Well if loving this nation,being proud and grateful for being born an American is wrong then brand me as forever wrong.I love this country,I will defend her from all aggressors,foreign or domestic. I fly my flag proudly and
my nation and her legal people come first to me always.
I will not stand idly by and watch my country become only another 3rd world nation.Why not a nation wide vote on the amnesty problem.Let the people of this nation tell our government what we want.Its time that
"WE THE PEOPLE" made this choice.That's fair to me,I would abide by the results of that vote.

No one ever said illegal alien is a race. It just so happens that the majority of illegals are from Mexico. Are they jealous? I guess you could say that, considering they always think they are the superior race and no other race is any good. Maybe that's why they protested, because they feel like they are better than every one else and should be allowed to cut in line to get their citizenship. Maybe that's why they refuse to learn to speak english and are trying to force this country to have spanish as the primary language. Maybe that's why they take over the welfare and medicare programs, because they feel they deserve it more than American citizens do. Maybe that's why they call us lazy, even though money is taken out of our taxes for them to be able to live. I know they work, but the jobs they work are only around because of the money paid by American citizens. Everyone has to work for a living. So if Americans were really that lazy, then we wouldn't work. And if we didn't work, then the illegals wouldn't be able to work. So for them to think we owe them for this economy being able to function, they are wrong. They might be growing into the majority, but they will always be the minority.

Unfortunately, if you listen to some alleged political pundits, it becomes apparent that they hate this country and want to drastically change it. Obviously, to these people, the traits you allude to in your question are horrible things. This is why I sometimes feel a greater allegiance to the country than to some of the people in it.
I am a veteran who has been to other countries and maybe that's why I feel pretty damn strong about this country easily being the best in the world - by far, hands down, without a doubt.
My overall feelings toward a lot of the present crop of illegal aliens is that they are not interested in becoming citizens (our English language is a prerequisite to becoming a citizen as is a basic knowledge of our history and government, for instance, and they don't seem interested in learning either of these subjects). I sometimes think that the United States, to some of them, is merely an employment opportunity - a way to make money to send back to their country so they may build a better life for their family - again, back in their country.
Immigrants that desire to become an American are the foundation of this country and our diversity - illegal immigrants who only want to take advantage of the benefits they can exploit from us will serve only to eventually destroy this foundation.

Every 'illegal alien' I know love their country and have more pride being from there than any American I've ever seen. One good reason they come here is to make money then leave. I have seen it many times.

edit:
I guess my first mistake was assuming you morons were literate. Did you even read my post before you voted against it? You won't stop the tide of illegal immigration UNTIL YOU ARREST THE RICH REPUBLICANS HIRING THEM MORON!!!!!!
No, you aren't wrong for those feelings.
However, you must be careful not to make the transition from patriotism to jingoism. Extremes are almost always a bad thing.
remember that illegal aliens aren't here to suck our system dry. They generally come with a desire to work. As I drive through Phoenix, I am often confronted wit people begging for money at street corners. rarely do these people appear to be Hispanic. More often than not, those individuals are White or Black. The Hispanics tend to congregate at certain areas where they await someone to come and hire them as day labor. rarely are there white or black people at those locations.
I don't have an answer for all of this, just an observation, and I respect the fact that such a high percentage seems desirus ofworking, instead of requesting a hand out. Any solution attempted should endeavor to utilize that desire, as it could be mutually beneficial.
Just my thoughts. I don't know how to stop the tide, there is little opportunity for them in Mexico.

They have a country but they dream of a better life so they come to the Untied States to live the American Dream.
But by coming here illegally they corrupt the dream and destroy the others hope of achieving the dream.

Demnocrats think any form of self development that makes you more than the average person is bad, so all the things you listed that were good are now bad.
In closing we should not just build a fence also lay down land mines and auto turrents on the MX border.

No, I love being an American patriot. I think illegals are jealous of us. They are cowards who have to sneak across and take what doesn't belong to them.

Yeah, but the race card makes a wicked weapon for chipping your way into the country...you can use it as a tool to put people on a guilt trip...

Yes you are right brother and I think the love for this country will win out over the illegals. No one wants them here anymore. I hope those measures pass. We're going to kick them out of Penn, where going to kick'em out of AZ , where going to kick'em out of Dallas, yeaaaaaaaaarahhhhhhh!
