Are you an illegal immigrant?

Answer 1

No.. Native Californian.

Answer 2

No. But my ancestors were, and - unless you're a native American Indian - so were YOURS!
You see, four hundred years ago people illegally immigrated here from Europe to escape tyrannical and oppressive governments, religious persecution, or to build a better life for themselves.
Native American Indians were cheated out of land, chased away, massacred, or eventually relegated to 'reservations' where they could be forgotten about. My ancestors - and YOURS - didn't bother to learn the Indians' language or observe the Indians' culture. They simply marauded their way into this new land, took what they wanted, and established their own European ways and cultures. They blighted the Great Plains as they fought the "redman" who regarded land as sacred and slaughtered buffalo only as necessary for food, clothing and shelter. The "white man", on the other hand, thought it was great sport to kill millions of buffalo and leave their carcasses to rot on the plains.
Then these new "illegal immigrants" imported black slaves to be bought, sold and traded like personal property, even as they spuriously declared "their" new land as the land of the free and a land where all men were created equal.
And today the carnage continues, the bigotry has expanded to include a bias between white and black; Christian and non-Christian; smart and stupid; rich and poor; or prominent and invisible citizens.
So while we proudly pound our chests and proclaim with enceinte puffery that we are "Americans", we fail to look back on our ancestry and see just exactly what kind of hypocrites we really are today. -RKO- 08/04/07

Answer 3

I'd ask: " Is the border that divide our Nation since 1848 , an illegal border ?
When an invasion turns legal or illegal the debate goes forever in spiral to nowhere, but then if U call it Imperialism, our Mexican-American Empire would be a Bilingual Empire! Esto se llama " America" no Inglaterra.

Answer 4

no are you?
A line from a poem, “The New Colossus,” by the nineteenth-century American poet Emma Lazarus. “The New Colossus,” describing the Statue of Liberty, appears on a plaque at the base of the statue. It ends with the statue herself speaking:
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

Answer 5

LOL, like anyone who is would answer this honestly! Ok, here goes, I am a 2nd and 3rd generation American born and bred. Grandma was born from Austrian immigrants in Detroit, MI and then she married a Canadian( much to her mother's chagrin). There you have it.

Answer 6

I was an illegal immigrant once, I crossed over into Mexico and got deported back here, bummer huh.

Answer 7

No.

I think it's stupid for someone to answer that many of their friends are illegal, and tell us how hard it is for them. Well, boo hoo!

How about how hard it is for us to earn a dollar here, and have a large amount of it go toward healthcare, and education for 12 million illegal Mexicans who pay NO Federal Taxes?

And how about those around the world (including Mexico) who paid lots of money and filled out the right forms, and have waited years to come here legally? Should we tell them how hard it is for those illegal alien friends of yours, too? Oh, boo hoo. They have it so hard here.

I don't cry for anyone here illegally. I think their life should be harder, before we spend more money to find them (no thanks to you people), and send them back forever!

Answer 8
