Illegal immigrants protest

I dont think that the whole "we are all immigrants to the USA" argument holds anything at all at this point. Sure, everyone migrated to this land and established a country.. but now it is a fully running, independent country which is filled mostly with people whole were born here in America... thus making us Americans, not "people who came from people who migrated to here."

I agree with just about everything MetalKingdom has said. We have an established WORKING system, and for someone to come and ignore that system, will be throwing a wrench into a gear. If someone enters our country un documented, and goes on a murder spree, what are the chances of anyone ever finding the guy? He's faceless, nameless, and completely unknown to the US.

Sure that example is a little extreme, but it could happen.

And yes, most of them dont give a shit about this place, the protestors who were marching around with the American flag were only doing it to try to get us citizens to side with them because they know we're all so "patriotic" and love our country... so if they hope that by showing some love for the US that all of the flag waving citizens will think "well they are proud US citizens and love America, lets treat them like Americans!" But in reality, they probably dont give a shit about the US, just like none of us really give a shit about Mexico.

When it comes down to it, I think that if any of them want to be US citizens.. then they should become US citizens… nothing is stopping them, just do it legitimately, become a real US citizen, learn the language.. then you can get a job doing something other than picking strawberries for 20 dollars a day.

It's not that extreme. Mohammed Atta (I hate even typing that name) was here undocumented, was even pulled over for speeding, and then proceeded to kill 3000 innocent people and destroy an American landmark in the process. If we enforced our laws, maybe that shit wouldn't have happened.

Kick 'em all outta here. Now.

I honestly think that if they wanted too.. they would have before they entered the country... but thats just my oppinion... Im not going to decide "hey I wanna go live in Cananda" and just drive up and live in some shack... im going to do it right.
 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

do you have any idea what you're talking about?
citizenship is most often done AFTER arriving.
edit: i.e., ala dead_lioness

well concidering that ive never had to gain citizenship to a country.. i would say no, i have no idea...

then fine, if they wanted to be a citizen, then they should do it... not stay off the radar for however long they want to.
 
Naturalization: Becoming a U.S. Citizen
The process of becoming a U.S. citizen is called “naturalization.” You can apply for naturalization once you meet the following requirements:

Live in the U.S. for at least 5 years as a permanent resident (or 3 years if married to and living with a U.S. citizen).

Be present in the U.S. for at least 30 months out of the past 5 years (or 18 months out of the past 3 years if married to and living with a U.S. citizen).

Live within a state or district for at least 3 months before you apply.

You may have to follow different rules if:

• You, or your deceased parent, spouse, or child, have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. (you should be aware that as much as 5% of the us military are NOT citizens)

• You are a U.S. national.

• You obtained permanent residence through the 1986 amnesty law.this may well happen again; one thing they've talked about is anyone who can document they've been living here for more than five years would get amnesty

• You are a refugee or asylee.

I can't claim to be an expert but I knew some of this stuff cause my sister became a citizen.

Well, if they really wanted to become citizens, they'd do it the LEGAL way. What they want is to rape us of our money and way of life and eventually take back the land that they believe is theirs. I've lived with and around these folks (los illegales) for 15 years and I've never heard any one of them say "America is a great country", or anything to that effect. I've heard lots of "Viva Mexico" and "We're gonna take our land back" though. I couldn't even begin to count the number of upside down American flags I saw during the rally on Monday. Did you guys know that the gesture of an inverted American flag is a symbol for war? You eastern folks haven't been around enough of these people yet like the west coast has been. Pete Wilson tried to save California, but the Mexicans took him to the cleaners. Gray Davis tried to give illegals driver's licenses, and was booted out of office for it. Ahhnold (who I voted for) tried his best to stop illegals, but it's too late. They have vilified him to the point where the rest of the country (who don't know jack shit about California politics) think that he's a shitty leader. He is a hero in my eyes, and one of the only "politicians" who aren't influenced by money and corporate interests. Did you guys know that illegals are allowed to VOTE in California? That's right! Mexicans man the polls and allow millions of these people to vote - even though they don't have the right to do so. I'm telling you guys - we are about to lose our country!!!

One more thing - I grew up on Navy bases, where there are many Filipinos. Many of these people are citizens of the Phillipines and serve in the U.S. military. These people work hard, live amongst us as Americans, and when the day comes for them to be actual citizens - it's the greatest moment of their lives. I've worked and produced two naturalization ceremonies at the National Archives in D.C., which is the "holy grail" of ceremonies for legal immigrants to this country because they are sworn in in front of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. There are people from all over the globe attending these events, and I can tell you from first hand experience that it is one of the most moving things a person could ever witness. The powerful emotions that these people (and those of us watching) feel after taking the oath help solidify their love of this country. In both programs that I was at, there wasn't one single person from Mexico in attendance.
 
I do have to say it boils my testicales when I see a US/Mexico soccer match on US soil and all the dark people are cheering for the mexicans.

commence ta fucking, then, because get used to the reality that blacks and mexicans breed at a far faster rate than white people, and so, eventually, and not really too far away, white people will be a minority in north america.

The schools in my area are 70% hispanic. It really chaps my ass to see nearly ALL of the Mexican kids taking part in the free breakfast, and free lunch programs, only to have their ENTIRE families show up to school events in poofy party clothes, with brand new cameras, and rolling up in a new SUV.

Well, you don't have to worry about me because I'm a sexual maniac. That's why I have three kids. BTW - I'm an "oreo".

You could of left "blacks" out of that statement, since they are partly responsible for building this place, and are Americans by right of birth. Poor people always "breed" faster than those who are economically more fortunate. That's a fact wherever you go. Latinos have already taken over as the minority with the highest populus, and it's been theorized that they will be the dominate race in the U.S. within the next 10 years.

The Mexicans would drive them nuts with their Disneyland trumpet music.

Hah! Funny that you mention that. Did you know that Mexican "music" is really just German polka with Spanish lyrics?

haha, thats not the issue here. It's that these illegal immigrants are storming our country at an alarming rate. It's not that the white's are feeling threatened by "becoming the minority" its just an outrage that these people enter our country and shit all over it.

This whole thing is Americans vs Illegals, not Whitess Verses Non White.
