Answer 1

Beings the country is called America, I'd say only American citizens can lay claim to the land.

Cinner she has nothing to hide. She has people to protect. That's why Q and A's are private. Me thinks thou does protest too much about her right to open or privatize her profile.

As for those on either side who say get out to us legal citizens

Words of Fire - Deeds of Blood

Perhaps you think that the Creator sent you
here to dispose of us as you see fit
If I thought you were sent by the Creator
I might be induced to think that you had a
right to dispose of me
Do not misunderstand me
But understand me fully with reference
to my affection for the land
I never said the land was mine to do with
as I choose
The one who has the right to dispose of it
is the one who has created it
I claim my right to live on my land
And accord you the priviledge to return
to yours

Brother we have listened to your talk
Coming from our father the great White
Chief in Washington
And my people have called upon me to
reply to you

And in the winds which pass through
these aged pines
We hear the moanings of their departed
ghosts
And if the voice of our people could have
been heard
That act would never have been done
But alas though they stood around they
could neither be seen nor heard
Their tears fell like drops of rain

I hear my voice in the depths of the forest
But no answering voice comes back to me
All is silent around me
My words must therefore be few
I can now say no more

He is silent for he has nothing to answer
when the sun goes down

~Chief Joseph

Answer 2

Every American is entitled to their own point of view but I don't take it kindly when Illegals tell us to go back to Europe! I've never even been there! We are citizens of this nation and we are being disrespected by these invaders on a daily basis. What no one seems to realize is that all of the crimes that they commit are more heinous as they should not be here to hurt our people in the first place! I've never said you were a traitor and I'm sure you have reasons why you feel like you do, but please realize that we also have reasons for how we feel as well. No one should ever tell an American to leave our country, I agree with that but I want the illegals to go home, I really do!!

Answer 3

This country belongs to the citizens of this country. What makes you think that the government agrees with you. I think that the laws on the books dealing with immigration especially those passed with the 1986 amnesty says that illegals have to be deported. I also think the reason the Congress was unable to pass a another amnesty because we were fooled once in 1986 and do not believe a new amnesty would be any different. I only asked that the illegal leave not US citizens or legal residents

Answer 4

It belongs to legal American Citizens, and no other.

I Just Came Back From A War

The first thing I did when that plane finally landed was kiss the ground
The next thing I did was to go find my friends down at the old hangout
Drank some beer and talked a lot about old times
But when the booze finally hit Billy Joe Grimes
He said I don't know what it is, but you seem different to me

I said I just came back from a place where they hated me
and everything I stand for
A land where our brothers are dying for others who don't even care anymore
If I'm not exactly the same good old boy that you ran around with before
I just came back from a war

The very next morning I took a walk through the neighborhood
I thought it's been so long since I've been in a place where everything is good
People laughing and children were playing
And as I watched em I found myself praying
Lord keep em safe here at home in the land of the free

Cuz I just came back from a place where they hated me
And everything I stand for
A land where our brothers are dying for others who don't even care anymore
If I'm not same little freckled face boy
That grew up in that house next door
I just came back from a war

I hope you cherish this sweet way of life
And I hope you know that it comes with a price

I just came back from a place where they hated me
And everything I stand for
A land where our brothers are dying for others who don't even care anymore
Chances are I never will be the same
I really don't know anymore
I just came back from a war

I just came back from a war
You dont know me (You don't know me)
I just came back from a war

Answer 5

Well this country belongs to every citizen here. We all pay taxes, we all vote, we all have a voice that speaks for us (suppose to be that way at least), etc. People who tell us this "isn't our country" are ignoring everything in our history. In Mexico, it belongs to the Mexicans, in El Salvador it belongs to the Salvadorians, etc..it's that easy...to those that say that this is Mexico's, they need to study history a little bit better.

Answer 6

It's my country and I'm not going anywhere. Say what you want, be for or against amnesty. Rant and rave and ruffle your tail feathers on YA. True Americans proved how they feel by recently stopping the amnesty bill. And they didn't do it arguing on YA.

Answer 7

The country belongs to all American citizens.

Answer 8

I don't like that either. these anti-illegal people think they are more American because they don't want illegals here or they want the "laws enforced." Can they explain why my grandparents went to previous war FOR THIS COUNTRY (as Hispanic Americans) and for sure they are TRUE AMERICANS, but they and I all marched with illegals, groups who support reform and things like that, now that's how anti-illegals would downgrade my grandparents as un_American or to go back to Mexico because they are for reform and legalization?? That's not right, these anti-illegals have now clue.

Answer 9

we all can argue all day who's country or land this is. bottom line it belongs to our creator. it is ours for a little while. and as the govt goes, they are nothing but traitors anyway. the 14th amendment pertains to the blacks only.

Answer 10

Free speech rocks, doesn't it?

They have it to. But you get to answer them! So do I!

Patriotic protest is your right.

Now if someone is calling our President or any representative names, spreading unfounded rumors, treating them as guilty until proved innocent, acting seditiously, well...

...those things are by their nature unpatriotic and contemptible.

But patriotic and legal protest?

Every thing that moves needs gas AND brakes, no matter what direction it is going. Democrat/Republican, with a few other parts thrown in.

I'm grateful for all of them.

I'd support you more, but you've hidden your answers and questions. I'd rather not side badly.
