One here seems to think my ancestors were 'taxed to death' to support all the Irish immigrants.
No way do I accept the arguement from the open-borders crowd that we're a nation of immigrants. The first people who arrived here had to tame the wilderness, clear the land, feed themselves. There were no hospitals, railroads, or police. They are the creators of this country. Even immigrants from 100 years ago had it alot tougher than today. No welfare, no free medical, no ACLU suing for ballots in different languages.
Pick a few strawberrys, put up a couple of roofs, or babysit rich peoples kids and they tell you that they're the ones who keep this country going. Todays immigrants have it made compared to those older immigrants and its a slap in their face when that comparison is made.
