If immigrants are so proud of thier countries, then why do they come to America?

norman7774

I have always felt and still do that this is a tactical invasion (planned well by the Mexican Government) to take over at least part of the U..S.

hmmfunny

Damn straight.!

Because they do not love their countries, They love OUR country... That's right, unless you were born here or have legal documentation you don't need to be here.. They love our country because we make their lives to easy... And it is time that our government get it right, get it under control, and fix this already disastrous problem, before they do make it their country...

Because we have a president who is too ignorant to secure the borders & keep the illegals OUT. THAT is why they come here... because they can get it. Thank Goddess for the Minutemen Project!

You said it girl!

I agree with you!!!!!!!!!! Youâ€™re right on!!!!!!!
My solution is that legalâ€™s can stay, and illegals must go.
In cases where the children are legalâ€™s then the parents have the choice of either leaving or becoming citizens a real difficult choice.
And make that citizen test harder, I saw it a few years ago, a 2nd grader could pass it.
There was a time when you had to speak the language, know some history and really study for it.

I totally agree, everyone is proud of their culture and ancestry but you do not see different cultures carrying around flags from the country their ancestors came from. What is the sense of having an American Flag or the National Anthem. This is America carry an American Flag. If you love your country that much go back there..

Better opprtunities. You can be proud of you heritage and culture, but upset with your government... so you decide to leave for a better life in the US.

Foolish

For money, ande they say like this because they are shamed.

sexyleilani

Money. You know you would hire them if you wanted people to do Landscaping and cleaning of the cars and buildings.

This is because in there patriotic just LIKE YOU they like there country and background they come from they only come to America because they see how comfortable and lazy and how they don't do anything in American and you can make a lot of money so they come here some stay but MOST OF them go back to there country because they don't like America. See the only reason people come here is they want to get rich and America is rigth now he powerhouse of money so that's what attracts them all. Just watch when the European unions currency increases more above the dollar people will start going to Europe for money there is even American company looking to do business there instead of the USA for the future

truotslayer_1

for the same reason as the founding fathers and so many other immigrants came--escape from religious,political and societal persecution,and the promise of a better life

WhatAmI?

Many people come to this country to take advantage of some aspect of our country. Many come here to send money home.

People should come to the USA to become Americans. And come here legally.

intersting point............but kind of harsh

for a better life for them and their kids

They come for our welfare system.
Who else is going to give them housing, foodstamps, and pay them more money everytime they have another baby?

ur a 10, pregnant & near level 2

Many people do love their home countries, but come to the United States to help support their families. I don't see anything wrong or hypocritical in that, I see love in that.

I agree with the point, but not the attitude.. i understand your outrage.. but be expecting hate mail. honey.. but i do agree with the stand up for your own country thing.. peace sista..

There is no good paying jobs there

"Immigrants in past centuries came here to become Americans, not to remain foreigners, much less to proclaim the rights of their homelands to reclaim American soil, as some of the Mexican activist groups have done.... Today, immigrant spokesmen promote grievances, not gratitude, much less patriotism.

RaexKwon

anyone can be rich here.

I agree with Confused. A person can love his country, and still go elsewhere to look for work, better opportunities, greener pastures. It is often economic reasons that prompt them to go to the US. They wish to feed their families well, give their children a chance for a better life. Is that so bad?

searay092003

I think they are proud of there heritage not necessarily there country. The main reason is they live in homemade huts and make .50 an hour at best.

Illegals draw welfare by stealing people's social security numbers and identities. That means there are a lot of people being directly hurt by these people as well. Innocent people are having their credit ratings ruined, having IRS problems, and social security problems. If someone who has had their social security number stolen gets married, if either spouse dies or become disabled then they can be denied their benefits.

My family moved to the US before WWII. Those of my family that didn't make it over got killed by the death camps. Our family assimilated to the American culture. We didn't expect the Americans to change to suit us. The illegal immigrants from Mexico are not civilized like that.

They not only changed the National Anthem to Spanish, they changed the words. They already burn our flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American flag on their clothing all to keep from offending the Mexicans. It's nothing short of an attack of our country, not only by the illegal aliens, but those who seek to appease them.

I am tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years.

If you go to a country and refuse to assimilate, continuing to speak your own language then you are really not an immigrant -- you're a colonist ... and that's what the Mexicans are doing, they're colonizing the American Southwest as part of their "reconquista" Read about mecha in the link I provided and you'll see what the Mexicans real agenda is.

The cash to put certain system that keep the western countries going can not be put into place. Everyone moans about there country regardless of how patriotic they are to it, if your country was so great, why would you need to go on holiday...?

I would agree the prospect of more money makes them come here. It is not just for war-torn / governmental reasons. Even if its comparitvely 'less' than the local americans make, it is still more than that of their home countries.

Let's take the governmental reasoning. I'm going to take China and Falun Gong as an example. (I do not have a chinese heritage nor do I have relateives practising Falun Gong). A few relatives of yours is taken hostage because they practised Falun gong by the government and subsequently killed. Everybody is oppressed. Sure, some stand up but they are quickly silenced. What do you do? You love your country so much but you dont want to leave, but you can also stay and obey the government and be a sheep all yoru life. So many would prefer to can run and save enough money in another country to ship your relatives over as well so they can choose to practise what they want. People outside of America have a concept that Americans will treat them good. The land of freedom. What they get is different in some cases.

Everyoen has their views, and have their own 'evidence' to support it. The important thing is that everyone must keep an open and unbiased view when reading other people's opinions. I have read your view and I can understand your point of view. You have let these immigrants in with open arms and you feel that you are not getting the same 'love' in return. Americans have been raised to fight for freedom at all costs, which is why (i believe) you can easily tell other others to stand up for their rights too. In other countries, people have been raised differently, and some dont even know their own rights, and cant grasp the concept of fighting to the death for their freedom rights.

Is that enough dribble? I don't even live in America anyway nor know about the immigration situation enough to make a more detailed comment.

cathcoug

They come here because we give them free stuff.

Mafia

For money...America is rich...

DAR

People are allowed to be proud of the country they come from. Who wants a bunch of losers with low self esteem?

Still, I agree with you about coming here then turning on us because we don't manage things as they like them.

Can't say I'm fond of your language though.

skyetruth

Ha ha. Good point. LOL. I think we should invade them and demand there money and housing. See how they like it.

I don't know. Immigrants have been coming to America for the past 3 centuries. 60 million people left Europe to come to the Americas because in the Americas the ONLY requirement for advancement was that you be a member of the white race which allowed whites of the lowest classes of Europe to get ahead in life. Something they could never do in Europe with its very strong and inflexible class system. Of course white Americans who are the descendants of these Europeans conveniently forget that. YOUR ancestors came to America for the free welfare and opportunities created by nearly three centuries of FREE slave labor now you want to demonize the newly arriving immigrants - illlegal or not - for doing the same. HYPOCRITES!
