OP, you did NOTHING to become an American citizen besides being born in the country, right?

The truth is we don't have a comprehensive immigration plan in this country, so it creates all sorts of problems. It's also in the interests of Republicans to keep it this way: first, see how riled up it gets you? Second, those coming into the country are  more likely to vote Democratic.

Why don't you go back to your family tree, and see if your family didn't indeed come here illegally. This has often been the case in history. Do we get to deport you?[/quote]

OP here and this is amusing.  Several generations back, my family (like most of ours) immigrated from various countries.  [b]Legally[/b].  So while it is "lucky" that I was born here, I owe that fortunate fact to my ancestors who stood in line and jumped through hoops to make sure they, and all their children, would become citizens.

What they [i]didn't[/i] do was sneak into this country and hide out, only to demand one day that they receive citizenship, ahead of all those like my ancestors who did the right thing and followed the law.  So let's turn this around, since I seem to have hit a nerve - should [b]you[/b] be deported?[/quote]
