Legal immigrants came and place the native american in their place (reservations), imported slaves (illegaly) and worked them in their fields, farms and industries with little or no pay. They were later liberated and demanded payment for work. They are now high in the unemployment list and placed in the ghetto. And all of this done LEGALY BY THE LAW THAT YOU LOVE TO APPLY TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

good point; we descendents of the european settlers forget that we came here to live a better life... instead we corrupted ourselves and became hypocrites by not letting others have the right to live their life in the way they would choose; and still are doing it (some of us) by acting as if no one else has a right to live here but us... Maybe we're the ones who should be told "Go back home to England, Ireland...etc" Why point fingers at Mexicans and other races? You only reveal how ignorant and narrowminded you are when you can't realize the truth about yourself. So get off your high horse and stop acting as if only certain people are deserving of the "land of opportunity...where we have the right to 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness'" What, those statements aren't ideals that should be applied to all people? Only American citizens deserve these things? Get a heart, people

Unfortunately slavery WAS legal back before the Civil War so that´s a non-issue. It´s not true that all descendants of former slaves live in the ghettos and have high unemployment - many of my co-workers and bosses have been blacks from the suburbs.
There is no comparison between illegal immigration today and the legal immigration of yesterday, and you can´t compare slaves and Native Americans to illegals, it´s disrespectful and out of context.

Not all Indians choose to live on a reservation,its their choice,while I cant condone the actions taken to the Indians by the people of that era,I have to accept the results.This is today the here and now.As for the ghetto
and forcing someone to live in one ,that's an out and out lie.Any one of any color or race can live anywhere in this nation that they can afford to live.You can not blame something that happened many years ago for peoples problems today.yes racism was rampant in the older days of this nation.Many things have been done to change this,Affirmative action and many monetary grants for education has helped those who wish
to rise up from poverty ,to excel.]
Slaves received no pay,they were treated badly by some and fairly by others.They were owned,bought and sold .It was a disgraceful time not only in this nation but in many other country's as well.The white public in the USA,rose up against this and slavery was abolished here.
The history of all nations is not always pretty,look to Mexico for its bloody past as well as nearly all the nations in this world.
Entering into this nation is a crime,it is a crime to aid ,abet,shelter,hide and give support (money,jobs etc)
illegal aliens for any reason.
The people you are speaking of are legal Americans
and deserve all the perks and power of being a legal American.The illegal alien deserves to be deported and nothing more.Stop trying to compare apples to oranges.It never works.
A ghetto is an area where people from a specific racial or ethnic background or united in a given culture or religion live as a group, voluntarily or involuntarily, in milder or stricter seclusion.The term now commonly labels any poverty-stricken urban area. In the U.S. the news media created terms like rural ghetto to describe mobile home parks, farm labor housing tracts and Indian reservations to indicate that the poorest areas in the U.S. aren't within major cities.
In the United States, urban neighborhoods where Hispanic immigrants settled in the late 20th century (called barrios) are said to be comparable to ghettos, because most immigrants form a culturally isolated enclave and may choose to remain there or associate with their own group.

If people worked to get out of the ghetto they will get out of the ghetto. Don't blame this on everyone. Do you watch TV? Do you listen to rap music? People envy these lifestyles so they just become willing to look like a pimp, but then leave the children home by themselves or with the mother. No one puts anyone in their place anymore. People put themselves there these days. Quit blaming the American government for your poverty. The path to get out is there... You just want to blame everyone else for the reason YOU didn't take it!

sorry, however presently the one method could be to go back to a nation you're a citizen of earlier than you're 18.five years historical. Basically you're no longer aid accountable in your mom and dad movements till you're 18. When you're 18 you come to be an grownup. Consequently from then on you're considered via legislation as illegally within the US via your possess layout. If you go away earlier than you're 18.five years historical you would not have a bar for reentry. If you go away after that you're going to have a three yr bar and in the event you go away after you're 19 you are going to have a ten yr bar. Sorry, however you need to have recognized that for a even as now and might have ready. You need to have loved ones within the residence international locations of your mom and dad. Even if no longer, there are plenty of humans who manipulate to research efficaciously and fortunately in international locations which aren't their possess nation and in which they do not know any one. If you go away in order that you wouldn't have a bar towards reentry you might attempt to get a scholar visa and are available again on a scholar visa. But then you are going to have got to pay out-of-state college, and in the event you are not able to find the money for college presently it is not going to be higher. You might research in a nation you're citizen of for an undergrad measure and do particularly good so that you're going to get a fellowship and are available again to the US for a graduate measure. Yes, it is not particularly reasonable what is going on to you, and it isn't particularly your fault. On the opposite hand, different humans do have got to soar via hoops, get their schooling of their residence nation, manipulate to be well adequate to uncover an business enterprise within the US, pay plenty of cash and cross via plenty of attempt to legally immigrate. It's no longer particularly reasonable both that another humans attempt to keep away from the procedure. There is not a well resolution that's reasonable to all people. In addition lifestyles is not reasonable and all people has to reside with the realities in their situtation. Your drawback is regrettably that with a view to come to be authorized you have got to cross external the US. Whether you think it is reasonable or no longer isn't going to difference the realities.
