But wait... AREN'T WE ALL IMMIGRANTS!?!?!?
Find answers to your legal question.





But wait... AREN'T WE ALL IMMIGRANTS!?!?!?

Ha, just kidding. That's the dumbest argument I've ever heard in favor of illegal immigration. I was born here, as were my parents and grandparents.

Has anyone heard any arguments that are more moronic than that one? If so, please share it.

I agree with you.
When people talk that s**t, they talk as if America was always the technological paradise it is now, and white immigrants came in and stole everything from the backward savages that were here first.

They're only moronic because you disagree with them. Using vulgar abuse merely reveals your shortcomings and is never an answer to an argument. It shows that you are incapable of dealing with the answer in a rational way so being abusive is diversionary but not satisfactory. You never convince anyone of your position by being rude. You polarize and antagonize but do not reconcile differing views.

No, the ancestors of our founding fathers were invaders plain and simple. Successful, prosperous invaders. They did not emigrate. When they got here they found (by their standards) no governments; only savages. Being the organizing types, they quickly took over the country and pushed the locals aside.

Doesn't sound nice, but that's life. So the decendents of the invaders say that anyone else wants to come in must follow their rules. That's life too. Unless you can come up with the force to invade and take over, you simply have to follow the rules WE made. That's life....deal with it.

news flash debi0712 as far as total population is concerned we are the minority now and we are still being blamed for all the worlds problems. that just shows you that no one wants equal rights what they really mean when they say that is they want preferential treatment

Illegal is the key word, my people came across the ocean with papers, we just didn't move in and set up shop.

The argument that illegal aliens take jobs that nobody else wants is so idiotic. But, say it enough times and enough people will actually believe it.

I was born here, as were my parents, grandparents, etc, going back to before the founding of this country. I'm a native American, and anyone who thinks otherwise can kiss my fuzzy pink ***.

There is a difference in an immigrant and an ILLEGAL immigrant.

Oh yeah, well it's not MY fault that your ancestors had to take a boat and fight the most powerful nation in the world for independence, all I had to do was swim the Rio Grande and steal a job from an American Citizen to work for $1.14 per hour.

If your grandparents are the ones who first came in your family, then they were ILLEGAL. They all were, until 1924.

So what were YOUR grandparents' motivations for just crashing through at the ports and thinking they could just grab citizenship and jobs for nothing?

The point is, your thinking is ugly, and your mind isn't too sharp. We ARE all immigrants - and that's not an argument for or against illegal immigration. Further, you anti-immigrant polemicists have got to quit equating all immigration with illegal immigration.

I was born here too, yet there are STILL people out there that treat me like I just swam across the border? why is that? because my skin isn't light enough? becuase my eyes aren't blue enough? you are an @ssh0le.

YOU ARE an immigrant. EVERYONE HERE IS, minus the Native Americans who occupied this land WAY BEFORE anyone who "legally" came in through Ellis Island (whatever). yeah, "legally." to who was it legal? to people who spoke the language you are accustomed to now? or to the Natives? I'm sure the original occupants of THIS LAND didn't think or believe that you came onto this continent "legally." you people are so full of sh*t. Why is it that issues like these are always one-sided? you NEVER look at the whole picuter. your only concern is the NOW, not the "what did the other side think?"

Morons

yes

I have one: The USA invaded Puerto Rico and make us second class American citizens. Who are the immigrants in my country? Are we a minority?
Yes, we are all immigrants, legal or "illegal".

People who ask retarded questions like the one asked, have no intelligence whatsoever. You ALL are immigrants. What did you learn in History class..nothing? North America was occupied by the Native Indians. Then came along white people and they tried to assimilate the Indians and took over and occupied their land. This was not your land in the first place. YOU are an immigrant, so were your parents and grandparents and ancestors. ACCEPT that!!!!


Cf Precious
You are a moron. me,my parents and grandparents were also born in the US, but i am still mexican american. You are probably one of those idiots from russia or ukraine maybe ireland.Unless your family tree traces back to before Columbus"so called discovered America" You're an immigrant as well.


Renegade. AMERICAN NATIVE!
Heres one,, Mexicans are just Native Americans that speak Spanish. Someone actually said that to me.


Smart_Dumb
Yes.
OK.
Sure.


cvegas229
if your not Native American you are an immigrant - but I do get your point most of us came here legally thru Ellis Island, which is not the same argument. But I hate when whites think all Mexicans are illegal or think that Mexicans are the only illegals in the country. I think if you want to stay in the country you should join the armed services and after fighting for this country you can gain citizenship. But thats just my point of view.

If we're making that argument, our ORIGINAL ancestors beat illegal immigration by killing the original government (if you could call it that) and replacing it with their own.

I don't think too many illegal immigrants are going to want to take on Bush's trigger-happy military. *lol*

Bro, that is not an argument, that is a fact, everybody decent from immigrants, wheather they are recent or old roots. and if the immigration laws that we got now we would have had them back in those days, all your great grandparents would had been considered illegals too

Yes, unless we are Indians.
