[Cronos]

a Property owner can be a person who didn't earn the right on their own. I can name any number of rich kids who are leftists -- in fact if you read through history you'll see that many were actually from the upper classes.

The lessons in history are clear -- when the Roman republic had a "you gotta be in the army" replaced with "we'll give you free bread for doing nothing", they started relying more on mercenaries

Take something closer in time -- the ending of the draft gave a number of people no sense of gratitude

Let me put it this way -- we are saying no to further immigration, but I would prefer having skilled immigrants who WANT to be American rather than kids here who did nothing but were born American and think they have the right to burn the flag.

The immigration laws in this country are so perverted.

They need MAJOR overhaul to make it easier for the immigrants who are willing to work for their citizenship and will contribute positively to this country and much, much harder for the illegals who are destroying it with crime, violence, and sucking off the government teat.
