Welcome new citizens to the best country on earth.

"I love America, and I'm proud to be here," she said. "I like the food. I like the people. I like everything."

This is what we need more of.

[SandRat]

Congratulations to all these new Rightful Americans. Welcome to the American Family.

Notable that not a single one was from Mexico. That's because it's much easier to just walk across the border than to go through the legal process.

I like the food

well, I guess that's a start...

[SandRat]

and they are unwelcome criminals because of it.

I know some Mexican immigrants that are excellent citizens.

[Graybeard58]

I know some Mexican immigrants that are excellent citizens.

I do too. I certainly didn't mean to imply otherwise. Mexicans are no more inherently evil than any other nationality but the ones crossing our border without going through the legal process are criminals by the very fact that they are here.

This is the way it should be.

Take all of the legal steps to citizenship!

Illegal Aliens, i.e., law breakers should not be rewarded with citizenship!

"This is what we need more of."

Very well-stated.

"A lot of people are fleeing their countries because they don't have the opportunities you have here in this country," he said.

Yeah, here the sucker taxpayers foot the bill for anything an illegal might want. We even have translated almost everything into the native tongue of the 12 - 20 million who hopped the fence.

I tip my hat to these folks who went through hoops and hurdles, long lines, waiting and did it the right way. How great.

Shouldn't most new immigrants to the US be from Europe since our culture is for the most part based on European tradition?

There really aren't very many places anymore to migrate to if you are white.

There are proud brown nations full up with brown skin people that feel no need to diversify. Same with black and yellow. Meanwhile, every white nation on earth is in the process of becoming non-white nations and most of the new arrivals are hostile toward white skinned people.

Just a factual observation, as I see it.

[DumpsterDiver]

An unusal ping. It's about legal immigrants/new citizens.

[Ptarmigan]

Welcome new citizens. I wished all those illegals could do the same thing.

[isrul]

Ditto that. I did notice something, however. Only one from an English speaking country and only four from Europe. I hope this group is not a representative sample illustrating the origins of most immigrants. If it is, there seems to be a bias against both Europeans and those who speak English as a native tongue. I would hope that is not the case.

Welcome new immigrants.. My wife and I made a flash movie for you. Click my name there is a link there.

"I have no opinion on that," said Mariana Mimi Abu, who took her oath 13 years after fleeing war-torn Liberia. "I know the steps I had to go through. It took a long time."

Miss Abu just slipped in an opinion about something she claims to have no opinion about. She, like most legal immigrants, is not fond of line jumpers.

[moehoward]

Legal immigrants, to a man, are not fond of line jumping.
