Thread: Our Country... Not Theirs!!!

This message has been around before and it was emailed to me today. I think it represents all of our sentiments, so please feel free to copy it and e-mail it to all those in your personal contact listings. Here it is:

Let me make this perfectly clear!

THIS IS MY COUNTRY! And, because I make this statement it DOES NOT mean I'm against immigration!!!

YOU ARE WELCOME HERE IN MY COUNTRY. Welcome to come through the front door like everyone else has. Get a sponsor! Get a place to lay your head! Get a job!

Live by OUR rules!

Pay YOUR taxes!

And LEARN THE LANGUAGE LIKE ALL OTHER IMMIGRANTS HAVE IN THE PAST!!! AND DON'T DEMAND THAT WE LEARN YOUR LANGUAGE!!!

AND PLEASE DON'T DEMAND THAT WE HAND OVER OUR LIFETIME SAVINGS OF SOCIAL SECURITY FUNDS TO YOU, TO MAKE UP FOR ''YOUR'' LOSSES.

If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone, then YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM!

When will AMERICANS STOP giving away THEIR RIGHTS???

We've gone so far the other way ... bent over backwards not to offend anyone. But it seems no one cares about the AMERICAN that's being offended!

WAKE UP America !!!

My Brazilian friend and I tell immigrants in our English classes the SAME thing!
