The naturalized citizens I know are more patriotic than most. A lot of native born Americans have forgotten their country's history, they've never lived anywhere else and they take our freedoms for granted.
Conservatives and liberals can both be extremely patriotic. Anyone who loves this country, the ideals of it's founding fathers and would be willing to preserve these ideals (till death!) is a Patriotic American.
You're right. It's very unfair.
(Congratulations on becoming a citizen, by the way! Welcome, my fellow American!)
A couple thousand tents and some wire, doesn't sound that expensive to me...
I wonder how many of the hundreds, if not thousands of Non Goverment advisors that the President has (that we pay for of course) spend any time at all representing American citizens...I don't really wonder...I know none of them do...
Got it!
You likely are more Patriotic than most Republicans as well...Even here on FR...Hang around and you will see what I mean...
In today's world, many naturalized citizens are more aware of just how fortunate Americans are. Most of us have not experienced what they have.
When I was in elementary school,(many years ago ), we pledged allegiance to the flag every morning and considered our selves honored to be chosen to be one of the three students allowed to raise the flag in the schoolyard.
Granted, this in itself doesn't make one patriotic, but it does lay a firm foundation.
And- welcome to the U.S.A.
Rather than give $1 billion taxpaying dollars to provide free health care for illegals, I would prefer to hire more INS guards to enforce our laws of the land. Deportation is the cry!
Sometimes the easiest solutions are the best!
Why don't you share with the class why you felt the need to post that on this thread?
"Why don't you share with the class why you felt the need to post that on this thread?"
I have a better question, why don't you share with the class the reasons you feel the need to refer to anyone who disagrees with Jorge's immigracion policy as a Bush-hater?
That might be more enlightening.
I was not on this thread.
I do not come to these threads anymore.
The reason I don't come to these threads anymore is because of snotty remarks like yours.
Now, stop baiting me and other people.
Right on target! Jorge has rolled out the red carpet to the third world. What Americans want doesn't matter anymore.
I'm so angry. Well, they don't have a clue about America, its values, mores, language, work ethic. As a result, a good many will end up in jail -- so we'll be supporting them forever, one way or another. I hope Bush and the globalist cabal are happy.
My God! We don't want to give these criminal invaders any anxiety. Heaven forbid we degrade the services that we provide free of charge, starting with a ride to the bus station and progressing to free medical care, etc.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Cochise County, AZ has been running a tent camp for several years. He creates anxiety by making the prisoners wear pink underwear. The Border Patrol used tents before with no apparent degradation of services.
The idiot bureaucrats that are really running this country are a bunch of pathetic PC socialist fools.
A small point overall, but "Sheriff Joe" is Maricopa County, generally the Phoenix metropolitan area.
