Agreed. But why move to another country to do it? Why not be a sucky human being in one's own country? Why should we expect the citizens of another country to accept us with open arms?
I mean, if I illegally entered Japan, refused to learn a word of Japanese, formed an American gang that vandalized the homes of Japanese citizens, and broke nearly every Japanese law I encountered - I would expect some animosity from the citizens of Japan.
Call me crazy, but there is something about going out of your way to cross national borders to be a sucky human being that makes it that much less palatable.
Do you support a ban on the use of foreign languages in America? It sounds like it.
No, but I am for making English the official language of the United States, and requiring basic English competency as a condition of citizenship or long-term residence.
I've had property stolen by people who speak Spanish as well as by people who speak English. I even heard of a guy who raped a little kid one time who spoke English, but this had to have been an extreme rarity.
Hey, we have our own criminals. That's the point. We don't need the rest of the world's.
Surely you would have supported banning all those cretans from coming to work in America as well, right?
We have immigration laws. Obey them, or be deported. And when you get here, make an effort to learn the language and behave yourself.
It's really just that simple.
It's also common sense.
Right. The first duty of any government is to the people living there. Do US citizens want current levels of migration? You can check any poll and see for yourself what the overwhelming majority think. A shame no elected politician is willing to do the same.
I live in Los Angeles, and I am continually astounded at the utter arrogance and rudeness of so many immigrants. They are rude, they push and shove, they cut in lines, they sneer and condescend.
I cannot imagine choosing to enter another country, legally or illegally, of my own free will, nobody holding a gun to my head...and then, instead of finding out what the preferences of my new neighbors are in order to avoid offending them, being unspeakably horrid and rude to them! What kind of mind set would justify such behavior? We're nice enough (or stupid enough) to let them in, and they show us nothing but contempt. Obviously far too many of today's immigrants hate America and its citizens, and are just using us for jobs or welfare. Why do we need these people, legal or illegal? Why are we letting them all in? Why are we doing this to ourselves?
