A picture I’d love to have on a T-shirt!!!
Let me make this perfectly clear!
THIS IS MY COUNTRY!
And, because I make this statement
DOES NOT mean I’m against immigration!!!
YOU ARE WELCOME HERE IN MY COUNTRY.
Welcome to come through like everyone else has.
Get a sponsor!
Get a place to lay your head!
Get a job!
Live by OUR rules!
Pay YOUR taxes!
And
LEARN THE LANGUAGE LIKE ALL OTHER
IMMIGRANTS HAVE IN THE PAST!!!
AND PLEASE DON’T DEMAND THAT WE HAND OVER OUR
LIFETIME SAVINGS OF SOCIAL SECURITY FUNDS TO YOU
TO MAKE UP FOR ”YOUR” LOSSES.

My response to this (from a legal citizen of the United States)
Get a job (according to many different things I have read illegal immigrants do many of the jobs that citizens absolutely refuse to do, they also mostly come to the United States for work, so saying “get a job” is a little ignorant to say) !
Live by OUR rules (The only rule that they are breaking is by not being in the country legally, and didn’t our forefathers (not including Native Americans) all basically take the country illegally in the first place, again a little silly to say “live by OUR rules”…….)!
Pay YOUR taxes (According to studies they usually pay just as much in taxes as we do and they don’t claim refunds so that money just sits in social security so again kinda silly to say “pay YOUR taxes”)!
And
LEARN THE LANGUAGE LIKE ALL OTHER
IMMIGRANTS HAVE IN THE PAST (I place this in all caps because I have said it to so many different people that I now get bored of saying it THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAS NO OFFICIAL LANGUAGE TECHNICALLY YOU CAN SPEAK ANY LANGUAGE YOU WANT AND YOU ARE SPEAKING “THE LANGUAGE” )!!!
AND PLEASE DON’T DEMAND THAT WE HAND OVER OUR
LIFETIME SAVINGS OF SOCIAL SECURITY FUNDS TO YOU
TO MAKE UP FOR ”YOUR” LOSSES (again, according to studies, illegal immigrants pay taxes from their work and pay into social security and then don’t ask for it back).
When will AMERICAN’S STOP giving away THEIR RIGHTS ( what rights are we giving away? the right to steal land from another culture, enslave them, and then claim the land as our own, and yell at others for trying to come here for opportunity?)???
The studies I refer to are in a college level text book titled Racial and Ethnic Groups Eleventh Edition by Richard T. Schaefer
Sorry if I offended “the cantankerous old white guy” or anyone else reading this, you do have the right to your own opinion, but I wanted to place my opinion here as well

To Someone,
You did not leave your name or email….MMmmm
Anyway, your sentence that stated…
“When will AMERICAN’S STOP giving away THEIR RIGHTS ( what rights are we giving away? the right to steal land from another culture, enslave them, and then claim the land as our own, and yell at others for trying to come here for opportunity?)???”
This is exactly what they are doing to US! They want to steal OUR land and make half hearted excuses as to why there is a right to do it. They all have opportunity here but that is not enough. They want it all without earning it…….we as Americans will never accept it no matter HOW LOUD YOU YELL and complain.
SOLUTION:
If you want a country like America, you have a country YOU CAN FIGHT FOR at the border.
Oh yeah, that would be too hard. It is easier to guilt the spinless hippie libs into turning this one over.
When America’s infrastructure is as rotten and depressed as your Homeland, where will you go next?
Sooner or later you will have destroyed all that is good and you will be left with the same squalor you are trying so hard to escape.
Build up your own country……what is so damn hard about that?
…and you “Someone” should be ashamed for saying the things you have about America and all who have fought and died for this once great Country.
You are the problem NOT the solution. You are welcome here to your opinions but don’t think they will go unchecked. That is another problem that has gotten out of hand.
