that comes from the very definition of 'country'.

I personally think that everyone is a citizen of the world, though.

Every wave of immigration into the United States has faced fear and hostility, especially during times of economic hardship, political turmoil, or war:

* in 1882, Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, one of our nation's first immigration laws, to keep out all people of Chinese origin
* during the "Red Scare" of the 1920s, thousands of foreign-born people suspected of political radicalism were arrested and brutalized; many were deported without a hearing.
* in 1942, 120,000 Americans of Japanese descent were interned in camps until the end of World War II.

It is true that the Constitution does not give foreigners the right to enter the U.S. But once here, it protects them from discrimination based on race and national origin and from arbitrary treatment by the government. Immigrants work and pay taxes; legal immigrants are subject to the military draft. Many immigrants have lived in this country for decades, married U.S. citizens, and raised their U.S.-citizen children. Laws that punish them violate their fundamental right to fair and equal treatment.

it protects them if they go through the process of becoming a citizen. is that so hard to understand?

If it were practical, I'd do it like einstein and renounce my nationality in order to become a citizen of nowhere :Spin:

the constitution doesn't protect someone just because they live in america. they have to obtain citizenship to get the "perks"(if there are any) of being american. maybe mexicans should start going to canada instead, they could swim around.

caucasian is the retardest race definition ever, because the caucasus is actually located around middle east and turkey, ie, people born in caucasus(the tr00 caucasians) are in fact close to the paki stereotype
