The misuse of the word by illegal aliens.
STATUE OF LIBERTY
The Statue of Liberty was erected in 1886, when world population was little more than one billion and the U.S. population was 60 million. Many do not realize that the Statue of Liberty was a gift to the U.S. from France, with the title, "Liberty Enlightening the World".
The statue and its symbolism had nothing to do with immigration, but rather hope that the rest of the world would adopt Democracy.
The Emma Lazurus plaque (it is not chiseled in the base), "send me your huddled masses" was added ten years later during the immigration peak of that age.
The sonnet, "New Colossus", was written by Emma Lazarus in 1883 as part of a literary campaign to raise funds for the completion of the Statue's pedestal. Not much attention was paid to it until the tide of immigration surged at the turn of the century. Proceeds that were raised from its auction were used to complete the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. This plaque memorialized the sonnet in 1903 and was placed on the inner wall of the Statue's pedestal. It currently is displayed inside the Statue of Liberty museum
Learn the truth not what you think you know.
And I'm not related to any immigrants since 1702 when all my ancestors came to this land.

Immigrates: animals or people that move from a place to another, so the immigrations it not only about illegal people. I'm a immigrants but i'm a citizen.

Unfortunately, the first word that comes to mind is "illegal."
I believe too many people think they're one in the same, which, of course, they are not. Many hard-working people have and continue to come to this country seeking a better life.
And unless one is full-blooded American Indian, he or she is descended from an immigrant.
Sorry about the rant!

When I think immigration I automatically think ILLEGAL immigration.In that sense I vision a bunch of folks south of the border jumping the fence.

As long as they don't come to our country only to fall on welfare ( social assistance) then I have no problem with peaceful immigrants. The violent ones should stay where they belong wherever that is.

Progressively good business sense. As well as respect!
EVEN YAHOO THINKS SO.
LOOK BENEATH WHERE;
THE INTERNATIONAL FLAGS ARE POSTED!
How dull it would be to just have one flag there....
It's time to get out of the comfort zone and do some foot work for a change. I dare anyone to check out any of the international yahoo answers to self discover that the Mexicans /Latinos or others. Are nothing like you believe that they are. Poor U.S. military personal to have to come back to this bullshit...
