Exactly!

Both of my parents are legal immigrants (I'm first generation American, and proud of it! :) ) and if I had EVER acted in an unpatriotic way toward this country both of them would have slapped me clear across the room, then put me in a box and mailed me to the East Germany! Lol! Both of my parents changed their names to more American names, adapted to American culture, never accepted a single handout, went from dirt poor to very successful, and never missed a chance to show their love of this nation. Personally I think the freebies we give to the current wave of immigrants fosters a loathing rather than a love of this country. Socialism tends to do that...

Uh you do know that a vast number more of native American take adavantage of the welfre trap than immigrants do.

Sheesh, a World Nut Daily article compared the woman, who had a respectable job, and now seeking sanctuary in a church, to al capone.

My great grandma was going blind in her old age, and one day the postman came to bring her a disability check from the government, and she chased him off! Threatened to shoot him if he came back. That was very disgraceful back then- that you couldn't take care of yourself. People would have been ashamed.

My grandpa was too old to enlist in WWII adn felt horrible walking around town with the women, and boys who were left. -All the men were off fighting, and to be left behind was shameful. -Imagine that today.
