Retro, & llegal lurkers or Sympathizers. READ...
Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907
Every American citizen needs to read this!
*************
This is the crux of it. Illegals come here and demand representation yet they pay NO taxes. They do NOT assimilate and readily and freely fly their flags. They don't consider themselves americans.. but "mexican, cuban, korean, salvadorean etc." This is the problem. It is a total disregard of OUR customs and OUR land and OUR people and OUR language. I am italian, but I WOULD NEVER EVER presume that me being italian takes precedence over me being American. When my grandparents came over LEGALLY from the old country, they tried their damdest to fit in, learn the language and assimilate. They did. I said to my grandmother once, "why don't you speak Italian more often and she said 'this is america, this is your country. I choose to come here so I must be as you are"

Roosevelt made way too much sense for today's politicians to understand.If only we still had a man of his character still in the White House.

If I could quote all of the above, I would. Under the quotes would be a standing ovation. Well said everyone.

Retro,
You are going to see a lot of people in Washington lose their jobs in the 2008 elections for supporting Dream and the other amnesties.
Rasmussen polls show 68% public opposition and only 22% support for Dream and Dream was the best shot your side had. You threw the kids out front combined with military service and you still failed.
