+1. Mine too. So the "illegal aliens" blah blah is quite funny.[/quote]

Do you think the "Native Americans" just sprouted out of the ground here? They came from somewhere else way back when also.

And we didn't have immigration laws centuries ago as we do now, so drop it already.[/quote]

Translation: my family is here now, so screw yours!

There's no translation necessary. It's spelled out quite well. Native Americans were once the newcomers, and there were no immigration laws centuries ago. Period.[/quote]

BS. Native Americans had their Laws...in the way THEY defined Laws. They owned the land, so they defined the law of the land. We ignored that, went on massive killing and ethnic cleansing, and then established our Laws. Most people living in the US today are descendant of illegal immigrants. Not good or bad per se, but let's not kid ourselves...and let's pass some rational and comprehensive immigration reform soon.[/quote]
Interesting perspective. Thank you.[/quote]
