"I don't know if you are or not."

No, you don't. And that is exactly the problem with your generalizations. The problem for you is that WE ARE A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS. We always have been, and you are offspring of English IMMIGRANTS. You admitted it. To the Cherokee nation, the English were Immigrants. There will always be those anxious to close the doors. The more of these arguments I follow, it becomes obvious it's because it's those who can't compete.

We are a nation of laws.

We are a nation of LEGAL immigrants. Here's an example of how America was settled:
After the 30 Years War in Europe many German Protestants tried very hard to get to America, because in their homeland their homes were being burnt to the ground by Catholics. Some of these so-called Palatinates (Lutherans living in a Catholic area of Germany) were sent to Northern Ireland, because they were not allowed into America (this is when England decided who was allowed to emigrate to America). Others ended up in England and never made it here. Without LEGAL permission, they did not enter. It was that simple. That is what LAW abiding people do.
That is just the experience of one group of early American immigrants. Many more groups came here, but their stories all include the word LEGAL.

Immigrants in the loosest possible sense of the word, being a people moving to newly attained territory of the British government. Like I said, there is far more here now than the deer and the antelope, there is what has been built and sacrificed for, and not everyone in the wide world is entitled to a piece of it.

As for as "not knowing", if someone pulls up in front of your home in a fuel truck, proceeds to douse your home with gasoline and is in the process of striking a match, you might just have the foresight to reason that this action just might mean trouble.

When the nation is being flooded with proven marxist voters a genuine conservative might possess the foresight to reason that this action just might mean trouble.

Both political parties are in a mad race to get the credit for making illegals legal and allowing them to vote in our elections. That action can bring about the destruction of the balance between the two parties making the USofA a one party system. That system being forevermore liberal/socialist.

Can the Republican Party out pander the Demonrats? They sure are giving it the old college try now aren't they? The problem with feeding a hungry dog is it keeps coming back for more. So assuming you are a conservative, what good does that do you?

And as for "competing", conservative Americans shouldn't have to compete with illegals at the voters booth. There are some things no one is free to do in this nation, except over the dead bodies of those that will defend against it. And that is no one in this nation has the right to rip up the Constitution, or turn the nation into a socialist/democrat nightmare.

We are a democratic republic, not a democracy, anyone who attempts to overlook that fact should be looked upon as an enemy of the nation, be they native or foreign born.

"WE ARE A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS. "

No, we are a nation of laws. When our government officials do not enforce the laws that we elected them to enforce then they are betraying the trust we placed in them.
