What a bunch of mean cockroaches you all are. Hope and pray that the US economy doesn't get much worse. The dream of improving your way of life that you all believe is something only for blond, blue eyed white folks may become a thing of the past very soon.

I think this is something we can perhaps all agree about. I'm sharing this from another thread.
Written by an Australian Dentist
To Kill an American
You probably missed this in the rush of news, but there was actually a report that someone in Pakistan had published in a newspaper, an offer of a reward to anyone who killed an American, any American.
So an Australian dentist wrote an editorial the following day to let everyone know what an American is . So they would know when they found one.(Good one, mate!!!!)
'An American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish , Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Asian, or Arab, or Pakistani or Afghan.
An American may also be a Comanche, Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache, Seminole or one of the many other tribes known as native Americans.
An American is Christian , or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim. In fact, there are more Muslims i n America than in Afghanistan. The only difference is that in America they are free to worship as each of them chooses.
An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God.
An American lives in the most prosperous land in the history of the world.
The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of Independence , which recognizes the God given right of each person to the pursuit of happiness.
An American is generous. Americans have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their time of need, never asking a thing in return.
When Afghanistan was over-run by the Soviet army 20 years ago, Americans came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country!
As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any other nation to the poor in Afghanistan.
The national symbol of America , The Statue of Liberty , welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built America
Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of September 11 , 2001 earning a better life for their families. It's been told that the World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 different countries, cultures, and first languages, including those that aided and abetted the terrorists.
So you can try to kill an American if you must. Hitler did. So did General Tojo , and Stalin , and Mao Tse-Tung, and other blood-thirsty tyrants in the world. But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself . Because Americans are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American.
Please keep this going!
Pass this around the World .
Then pass it around again.
It says it all, for all of us
Please do not just delete.
Pass it on first.
Thanks!

I read the story about Christina Ramirez. It is interesting that Christina never bothered to try to become a citizen when she moved here (both her parents did and are now citizens) nor did she get a job. Her husband complains that her children can't move to Mexico because they don't speak Spanish. Yet, I bet she didn't speak much English when she came here. It is not about the location, but it is the motivation. Sorry, but it is difficult to feel sorry for a person who gives excuses and never takes action!
Also, take some personal responsibility people. When you come to America ILLEGALLY you get whatever hand is dealt to you. You know it's wrong and you do it anyway. Then you complain when you get punished or your children have to suffer. YOU put your kids in the situation.

Give Christina a break. She was 2 when she came here---The Ramirez situation is a good example of our immigration policy gone awry. It's going to take a Solomon to figure out a fair and equitable immigration policy that takes into account all kinds of situations.

Something does not make sense. She has been here long enough to have benefited from amnesty. My sympathies to this family. They are paying a high price for the failure of the governments of Mexico and the United States to solve this problem. However, we have to draw the line somewhere. There is going to be a great deal of pain involved in this process. Americans are tired of being taken advantage of by businesses and people who feel that they have a right to live here without permission. What other country allows this kind of invasion?

PLEASE! Do research, you want to talk about diseases, whites have the highest percentage in carrying and transmitting STD's. This is not your country, nor anyone else's. Everyone came her undocumented, we all have parents that are immigrants from a different country. No one is a true "American".

Excuse me, white trash. Please just go bank into your trailer and close the ripped up screen door.
You are the first one to not have a right to talk shit. Please get off your minimum wage job and do research, educate yourself about this world, and where exactly your immigrant parents came from, because we all came from another country.

This is EXACTLY why the infants should have the same legal status AS THE MOTHER. If she is illegal...so should they be!
