Well in America Im considered poor,My ancestors came to America 4 generations ago from Denmark,They worked hard and became part of the melting pot,My family has lost alot fighting for this country. We too seek the American dream,hoping with each generation we can give more to our kids.We have tought them respect for this country and to all people who deserve respect. And with each generation we grow and prosper.We pay our taxes and send our kids off to war.Why? So illegals can get a free ride? I want whats fair to citizens who paid the price for freedom,thats all.

Well If I'm now a third class citizen then I guess I have to fight my way to the top of the heap again. I will never set back and let my rights be taken away from me. I think America is outsourcing its middle class. Soon there will be only the very rich and the poor, no in between. The more illegals that are brought into this country the more poverty we as tax paying citzens incure. I do not know how much more our country can take before we are like Rome (and burn), listen for the fiddler, and keep a hose handy, is all I can say.

Because it is MY country and I am a firm believer that it is an OBLIGATION for all able bodied men/(women if they want). Do you think that we would have survived as a nation for over 200 years if one chose to fight for this country on whether they were a third class citizen or not?

I'm not a third class citizen and I fight for this country because it is my country.

Morgan Freeman (a black man) said it best quote: "Whites in this country are being subjected to reverse racism, you don't see them having a White Film Awards or Whites Magazine Monthly or starting an American White College Fund, blacks fought for years to be treated THE SAME as whites and now we are separating ourselves by our own hand, and I think its all rediculous".
So no, if we are considered the 3rd class people. The Kerr's of this country. Then we should not be fighting for it. BUT there is not draft and everyone makes up their own mind whether or not to choose to fight.

We are not 3rd class citizens in our country. All legal Americans of all races and colors are simply Americans.You don't see us running away to another country trying to take what they worked hard for do you?
.So just who is the 3rd class citizens in their country ?.It looks to me like its the illegal aliens that are being pushed out of their homeland because their own country doesn't want them.
I will never be 3rd class anything.I will always be a 100% legal American.And being a legal American is worth its weight in gold to me.
Besides we don't have a class system in the US. We are all just Americans.
Eat your heart out,I am not impressed.

Because I am not a third class citizen and neither are my brothers - one is currently in Iraq. Belief in your country, Constitution, and government does not make you less of a person, neither does being white.
Nice try illegal. Now go home to your own country and stir up crap there.

I don't feel as though I am a third class citizen. What constitutes a third class citizen anyhow.

Pandora's box...the box has been opened and all the ills let loose, but she closed it just in time to keep one thing in the box. HOPE. I still believe in the spirit of America. Uncle Sam is corrupt. Possibly a drunk, greedy, lecherous old man. But Lady Liberty is still right on and I'm sticking with her.
