Yeah...good insight...I guess we are reaping what we sowed. Who in this country is the immigrant and who is really the native. What criteria or foundation gives anyone the god given right to come to America?

Well, we have a Republic of laws now. We have agreed upon rules for immigration. How about we start by enforcing the laws we already have? I'm not anti immigrant, I'm a first generation American myself. BUT, we will not survive as a stable republic if the only criteria for entry is who whoever can fly swim or walk in gets to stay. That will lead to the total Balkanization of our country.
I also fimly believe in the old melting pot ideal. When you get here you make it on your own, no endless hand outs. YOU adapt to the majority language ( English ), and culture. It doesn't adapt to YOU. Keep your native traditions,and language ( I was raised to speak Ukrainian and went to school every saturday for 10 years to learn the language culture and history ) at YOUR expense. Raise your kids to be Americans first, I'm a proud former Air Force officer who was ready to kick my Soviet counsins ass's during the Cold War. And be good citizens.
