First, do you really think this is called for? All I do is post a dictionary definition concerning one disputed issue on this thread and I'm being told I "hate our neighbors",

Yes I do, because you know DAMN well that the question being debated WAS NOT whether US Citizens were Americas, it was whether Mexicans were Americans. You were nice enough to insert your definition along with some fake phone comments that attempted to hide the real debate here. I get nothing but fraud, lies and dishonesty from your side. It's challenging enough to have any respect for your side given (what I believe) is a gutteral hatred to anyone not born in this country, particularly if the come from Mexico. Lies, and phoney statments don't help you one bit.

If one uses the term "American" to mean "a citizen of the United States" then to me it seems self-evident that people from other countries are usually not Americans. Of course Mexicans who come here legally and become naturalized citizens are American (meaning a citizen of the U.S.), as are people of Mexican ancestry who are born here.

As for the rest of your post, two comments: 1) I believe you are much too quick to assign me to a "side" on this thread. I don't disagree with everything you've said on this thread and I don't agree with everything said by the the other posters I pinged. I just thought you were missing the boat on this particular aspect of the debate, that's all. 2) Way too many insults in your post. Yes, this subject does bring out some racist comments at times, but I believe that's not the great majority of posters here.
