On another website I occasionally post on, an illegal immigrant came on and told us all that illegals are here to stay, and she told us that, if we were honest with ourselves, we'd know we're nothing without them.

This was one of the poster's replies to her. I thought he said it so well, that I wanted to share it here.

By the way...this website isn't about illegal immigration. It's just that this happened to be the topic today. Also, he gave me his permission to post this here.

Here is his reply to the troll:

....and be honest to yourself you know that you are nothing without us.
Really? susy (or whatever your name is) thank you for that display of complete and utter arrogance, another reminder of why we don't want (or need) you here.

Nothing, you say? Then pray tell what attracted you to come to this "nothing" from your third-world cesspool of a nation? Nothing, you say? Funny; I thought this nation we call America was the one remaining superpower on the planet, and if we acted like all the great powers of the past, we would be ruling the planet. We Americans, however, are a better people than that. When the rest of the world needs relief, from famine, or disaster, who do they call on? Not Europe, not Mexico, not any nation or nations in Central or South America; no, they call on the United States of America. When other nations are torn by war, or ravaged by invasion, or have their freedom threatened, who do they call on to clean up their mess? The United States of America, that's who! Let us have a problem of our own, however, and we Americans are on our own; there are many who seek to take from us, but few who are willing to give anything in return. We give anyway, because we are a generous nation, but lately, there are some who mistake America's generosity for weakness. They could not be more wrong!

We Americans did not get to be the greatest and most powerful nation on this earth with your help; we did that without you. We won the greatest war this planet has ever seen, without your help. We faced down communism for nearly 50 years, and we won that battle, too, again, without your help. We put a man on the moon, not once but several times, again, without your help. We are not perfect, but we Americans (or gringos, as you call us) built the greatest constitutional republic, and the greatest economic engine, the world has ever seen, again, without your help. So why is it that you think we are "nothing" without you?

I have some news for you - we were a great nation before, and we will be an even greater one, once we have deported the illegal parasites that have invaded our land like a plague of locusts. This we will do, you may be sure of it, and when we do, you will learn why it is ill-advised for a mouse to spit in the face of an eagle!
