what is a real American? are you a real American?

Answer 1

In general - anyone who lives in either North or South America - ask a Brazilian for proof.

Specifically - anyone who has citizenship of the USA.

The answer to your question - anyone who would uphold the Constitution, lives in our country, believes in democracy and the free market, intends to make this their home for good, and is willing to adopt US culture, language, and possibly religion.

Answer 2

A real American is someone who lives in the Americas. A Canadian is a real American. A citizen of the United States is a real American. A Mexican, Costa Rican, Panamanian, Chilean, Peruvian is a real American, just like a German, Frenchman, or Spaniard is a real European or an Egyptian or Libyan is a real African. America is not just the United States.

Answer 3

A true worthy American contributes for the betterment of his community instead of trying to think of every reason to discredit the work others who mind their own business.

As far as income tax payments go, sources vary in their accounts, but a range of studies find that immigrants pay between $90 billion and $140 billion in Federal, State, and local taxes.

Because the truth is, today's immigrants, as they have for generation after generation, work the longest hours at the hardest jobs for the lowest pay, jobs that are just about impossible to fill.

I think, Tucker, you and I both know that we have tens of thousands of permanent residents serving in our armed forces.
Luis Gutierrez

I would just like to have one day where instead of seeing people cross the border over fences and through the rivers and through the deserts, we could see them picking oranges and picking the apples in Washington state, and our grapes in California. Seeing them do all of the hard work.
Luis Gutierrez

It is not better for America to do nothing about an immigration system that hurts families, hampers businesses, and harms communities.
Luis Gutierrez

It is not new or unusual for the real Americans, meaning those immigrants who came to America a little bit longer ago, to fear the outsiders, the pretenders, the newcomers.

Answer 7

Hell yeah I'm a real American. I was born and raised here. So were my parents! We have worked hard for everything we have, we don't need no citizenship papers to carry around. You can look at us and tell we are Americans. We have respect for God and Country. We don't have the need to have everything given to us just cuz we are here. We sing OUR national Anthem in AMERICAN and not in any other language cuz well that is just wrong. We can actually speak English and other ppl can understand us. And oh yeah did i forget to mention that i have a SSN that i was given after birth! Same with my kids and my husband. Oh yeah that's another fact i forgot to point out, i didn't have to wait for any papers to clear in order to get married to an American, cuz i am one.

Answer 8

Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. Zero tolerance for immigration-law violators! No amnesty, no "stealth-amnesty." No "change of status," marriage fraud, "exceptional leave to remain," no "Temporary Protected Status." If you break the law, depart or be deported. Illegal aliens kill more US citizens each year than the war in Iraq has killed in four years. Apologists for illegal immigration like to paint it as a victimless crime. But in fact, illegal immigration causes substantial harm to American citizens and legal immigrants, particularly those in the most vulnerable sectors of our population--the poor, minorities, and children. Additionally, job competition by waves of illegal immigrants willing to work at substandard wages and working conditions depresses the wages of American workers, hitting hardest at minority workers and those without high school degrees. Illegal immigration also contributes to the dramatic population growth overwhelming communities across America--crowding school classrooms, consuming already limited affordable housing, and straining precious natural resources like water, energy, and forestland. Taxpayers are being forced to pay for the free health care, education, and other welfare programs being given to illegal aliens; Those tax dollars could be given back to U.S. taxpayers or used to keep our borders secure; They may be here illegally, but they sure know how to "work the system" to collect "free" medical care, "free" education, "free" food, Section 8 housing vouchers and other housing assistance, and hundreds of other social services. It costs citizens additional hundreds of billions of tax dollars at every level: local, state, and federal. It gobbles up billions of our charitable contributions. And much of that money ends up siphoned out of our economy and into offshore accounts. Illegal aliens, over half of whom work "under the table" with neither job nor income reported (nor taxed), are not counted as employed or unemployed. But some of those day-labor and off-the-books "job-lets" would be "real" jobs - available to American citizen job-seekers - if employment regulations were enforced. Illegal aliens can get away with tax evasion, et al., which citizens cannot. In short, we have too many workforce entrants and too few jobs created. The ratio works out to roughly 7-10 workforce entrants per job created. If all illegal aliens depart or are deported, all legal immigration halted, and all temporary employment visas abolished, we still have a problem with more US-born workforce entrants than new jobs created. Illegal immigration damages our country and our citizens every day at every level. And not even the attacks of 2/26 and 9/11 have awakened many Americans to the vast dangers illegal immigration poses to our selves, our families, our communities, our society, our values, our principles, our civilization. Zero Tolerance for Immigration-Law Violators! We must remember the lessons of 2/26, 9/11, and the costs we bear every single day. God Bless the U S A !
