I have this strange affliction that I suffer from. It's called PATRIOTISM.
I would prefer not to have dual citizenship foreigners living or working in America because I don't want anyone to have divided loyalties when it involves patriotism.
Which country is more important to you. America or your home country? If you have to make choices between your home country and America, then as far as I'm concerned make the choice to go home.
Your foreign co-worker who does not want American citizenship is coming here to suck the sweet juices out of America and then take the fruits of his labor back to his/her homeland.
America shouldn't be a country for the "convenience" of others. Too many of our citizens fought and died to make it what it is.
These people come here because their homeland isn't as productive and free as America is.
Countries that require citizenship to own property are not too business smart. Would I invest millions of dollars to start a company in a foreign country on my own? Possibly, I would if the business climate was right and I could locate competent employees.
If I have to share my business control with a foreign businessman because I am not a citizen of that country, hmmmmmm, now I would hesitate.
I am the one putting up my cash and he's putting forth his citizenship. Big Deal!
Of course, I could open my company up to shareholders, then it's not my cash anymore. So, if I lose everything it's no great loss to me personally. Just a dent in my reputation. That's what we see in international companies. The Board of Directors doesn't have a personal investment in how the company does. There is no personal loss if the company fails in a foreign country.
This policy of non-enforcement of immigration laws in America has an even more destructive effect to our communities. In many immigrant communities, assimilation into gangs is winning against assimilation into our civic culture.
The Bush administration has allowed this matricula consular card, over the strong protest of the FBI. This allow the free movement of illegal aliens across America.
I am not a social engineer but I do recognize the steps that our local, state and federal politicians have been taking to destroy the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Being proud of our culture is what made America the country of first choice for immigration. Mexico and many other South American countries are encouraging their criminals and lower uneducated class to emmigrate to America.
Will the continued invasion of these people do anything to guarantee that America will remain the country of first choice?
