Immigration Anyone?

Below is what I read on a friends blog:

Ok, here it is. Yes, at one point in time, our families were immigrants. Most of us are at least 3 generation Americans. When our ancestors moved to the West, the new nation of America did not have the technology to keep track of all those arriving on our soil. Even with that however, most of our ancestors still filled out the proper paperwork and passed the exams to become "citizens" of the United States. By doing so, this gave them "human rights" and the option to vote and obtain civil services...

Now, I love all different peoples and cultures BUT, I have absolutley no pity for any illegal immigrant thinking they should receive the same rights as me. I would have absolutely no problem with deporting every single last illegal immigrant in America, peacefully or by force. These people could simply turn right back around and come back to America "legally".

Maybe the stereotypical bottom feeding free handout taking "the man done me wrong" americans would then have more opportunity for employment? Maybe cut welfare in half? Maybe pay our nations debts back more rapidly? Maybe up the average intelligence of our unbelievably ignorant nation?

And ever think WHY the mexican people want to move to America so bad? Maybe it has something to do with THEIR GOVERNMENT!!

While its on my mind, if you work for a company that insists no hats. THAT INCLUDES TURBANS! TAKE THAT FUCKING HAT OFF! IS WEARING A RAG ON YOUR HEAD THAT IMPORTANT? SOME THOUSAND YEAR OLD ANCIENT SPECIAL RITUAL? GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE YOU RELIGIOUS RADICALS! NOTHING IS PROVEN! YOU'RE BELIEVING IN A "WHAT IF"!!!!

My Response:

First of all becoming a "citizen" of the USA does not give someone human rights. Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled, often held to include the right to life and liberty, freedom of thought and expression, and equality before the law. Maybe you meant US "citizenship" which give them attendant duties, rights, and privileges???

Christopher have you actually taken a look and reviewed the welfare status? Unless you plan on working in a field or doing physical labor somewhere at someone's home, I doubt they are taking jobs from you. Even McDonald's and Taco Bell can't hire someone who is illegal so please give me a break with that one.

According to the statistics, whites form the largest racial group on welfare; half of all welfare recipients leave in the first two years; and teenagers form less than 8 percent of all welfare mothers. (http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/L-welfareblack.htm). Also did you know that you have to have resident status to apply for most of those programs. Guess that eliminates most of the "illegal aliens." As far as the nations debt, it sure does cost a lot of money and human sacrifice to protect oil. Maybe we should just send all the "illegals" over there and have them die????

Did you ever stop to think why so many other countries HATE us? Other countries such as Canada, France, and yes even Cuba can not fathom why we don't have universal health care to take care of our own people but we are willing to spend millions of dollars to keep "illegals" out.

Last, you wrote about Americans having "human rights" and civil liberties. One of the great things about living in America is we are protected by something called the US constitution. Freedom of religion is a guarantee by a government for freedom of belief for individuals and freedom of worship for individuals and groups. It is generally recognized to also include the freedom not to follow any religion (irreligion) and not to believe in any god (atheism or agnosticism). Religious toleration is the condition of accepting or permitting others' religious beliefs and practices which disagree with one's own. Freedom of religion is considered by many in Western nations to be a fundamental human right.

In my opinion one of the best things about living in America is that we are entitled to our own beliefs. I only question ignorance and encourage you to take a look at where your beliefs come from. Research fact from fiction!!!

What do you think???
