Me. I volunteered to go to war. Did so gladly. Got wounded. And wanted to go back. I fly the flag in front of my house everyday.
More important, I vote every election and respect my critics. Nuff said?

He is not on this forum, but here this...
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

i am an american and a patriot and a combat veteran, in my life experience of seeing how impoverished the world is i have found imho, there is a higher loyalty towards all humanity and the environment, i believe that God would want us to see it as such also

Is? Or was? I am not a loyal American, I am a loyal United States Citizen. I am not loyal to South America, North American, or Central America.

Aw, shucks, there's a lot of people more patriotic than me. I never went into the military, although, I wanted to when my husband went to 'Nam. He didn't want me to join, said he'd be too worried about ME while he was there. Men in my family have been in every war since this country was founded. I have seen the changes that have taken place in my lifetime and the changes have taken place swiftly in the past 15 years. Many younger people don't see it, don't have anything to compare it to. Some of us older people can see it and it's not good, not good at all. I want to do what I can to stop the ravaging done to the environment, our natural resources and the fabric of our nation. It isn't just illegal immigration, it's all immigration that adds to our population. If we could just reduce it, not stop it, just reduce it we could leave a better country for our children, our grandchildren and the future generations of all the people of the USA including immigrants. What good would our country do anyone if we succumb to overpopulation, polluted water and air, continued urban sprawl growth, development encroaching into our farmlands, our forests, depletion of our forests faster than we can replenish them, inability to build schools fast enough, inability to build enough water sanitation stations to supply clean water for the huge population, inability to build highways fast enough to prevent severe traffic congestion, what good would we do anyone? None. We must take care of the people we have NOW and allow fewer people to immigrate. Our first priority are the people here now. It is not the responsibilty of the USA to destroy itself trying to save the worlds poor, when there will always be more poor than our country's federal funds could EVER save. The only way to save impoverished countries is IN those countries. We can't move them all here.

I just wish people would think about it. We can't kill the USA trying to save the worlds poor.I'll get off the 'soap box' now and move on to another question.
