(1)To start with, the United States is an immigrant nation. >>>

(2)And each group in their turn was met w/ the same sort of derision that is currently being heaped upon Hispanics. But the simple & undeniable fact is that this nation would not be the force it is today w/o the tremendous fuel of expansion that the immigrant has provided.>>>>>>>

(1)Well all know the story about being an 'immigrant nation', but some of you always *forget* over the last 40 sum years, we have also became a WELFARE STATE. MY Germans ancestors DID NOT have everything *translated* for them @ a cost to the U.S citizens. No *free medical* & all the other *perks* ILLEGALS receive today.

(2)Someone posted Ted Kennedy speech when he first started cramming more immigration on us. Part of it said, "that NO one segment of immigrants would become so large, that they would change OUR country from the melting pot it had ALWAYS been". Now if the *mass* of hispanics has NOT changed your everyday life, your town, and your schools, you must be living on Mars. Since many hispanics have refused to assimilate (learn English)we now have others demanding everything in their own language also.
I read somewhere that (BROKE) LA county spends 1-2 million more on elections for ballots in 8 languages. Even the immigrants that can now vote, won't learn ENGLISH.
If the illegals are so good for our economy, why is CA going bankrupt???According to you their streets should be paved with gold.

Mexico comes HERE & issues their I.D. to illegals, now other countries are lining up to do the same for their own illegals. Ya, think every country should be able to come here & issue *legal* I.D.'s to their ILLEGALS ???

There's something you can pin on the liberals--the expansion of the welfare state. And the result of it is that this country has started to attract another type of immigrant. Besides the ones that come here to work & improve their lot in life, the welfare state attracts the losers, loafers & free lunch crowd. Bounce their asses back to Mexico or wherever they came from & stop the hand-outs. Don't automatically grant citizenship status to babies whose moms' water broke south of the Rio Grande and who are delivered north of the Rio Grande. Use some freaking common sense because the current system does an injustice to American taxpayers and the honest & hard-working folks who come here to work and earn their way in life. Work permits--OK. Loafing losers--No way.
