What is a true citizen of the United States, is it someone who pays taxes? No! It i9s someone who will stand together with his fellow citizens (people who truly believe in this country, Democrat ,Republican or Independent, Black, White, Yellow or Brown )Yes we have quite a few bad politicians in office who just want to further thier own adjenda and finacial standing, but as citizens it's our job to do something about this. Please stand up for your rights as American citizens, if you don't like what your local politician is doing get them out of office, its time to make this counttry the geat democracy that it was meant to be!!!!!!!!!!!! Act now, not with violence,think, you are truly great make it happen.

I would say Egypt is a country divided... it's got the Nile running straight through it.

Interesting. Question doesn't relate to details. My personal definition of a country divided as per the USA is one where the wisdom of the founding fathers is ignored in regards to the fact that, with a diverse country, local and state autonomy is crucial in holding a country together by giving these peoples equal voices not to be drowned out by a majority. The result of a do-all federal government is to deny voice to the people and leads to tyranny and allows the pressure to build to and past the exploding point. Thus a USA divided is one where the states are no longer able to safeguard and protect the people with the judiciary taking the spoils of the silent coup.

You're speaking to me. The politicians are using the Immigration Issue to divide us. Here in Texas and across the nation people of all colors, creeds, ages, and ethnic origins are banding together to fight the incarceration of young children in a private prison at Taylor, Texas...The T. Don Hutto Residential Facility. Hutto is a former medium security prison that's now holding families, women and young children who have come to the USA seeking asylum. They have committed no crimes, but ICE slaps them in prison until their cases are decided and this can take YEARS!
Politicians are working hand in hand with prison corporations to transfer massive taxpayer dollars to corporations. People have become a commodity. Not only are we selling our roads and our water, but we're selling people as well...if we place them in a prison, corporations can make mega bucks.
Yes, we need to educate, educate, educate, so we can vote the greedy politicians out of office and stop the immorality. And, it's going to take all of us working together to make this happen.
