As the descendent of an immigrant, you are by extension an immigrant -- unless, of course, you are an 'American' Indian?! [I guess legal immigration was just 'peachy keen' for you and yours; just not for "wink, wink" those other people . . . Today those other people are Mexicans; yesterday they were the Italians, Germans, and the Irish; tomorrow who knows, maybe the Jooooooooooooz (Jews) -- just tossed that in to aggravate your patron saint, Pat Buchanan!]
You have a different definition of "immigrant" than I do. I was born here. Of course, I wonder how you conclude that Indians are not immigrants by your definition. Didn't their ancestors come from somewhere else? I do have some Indian blood, if that makes a difference to you.
Our responsibility is to Americans, not Mexicans. If you are going to open the doors and pretend that everyone who comes here from anywhere in the world is an American, entitled to demand that I pay for their welfare, and their social security, and their education, then all I've got to say is that this is precisely why immigration has become such an issue. You're potentially leading us down the road to civil war, I think.
