Dream Act Amnesty supporters, including the President of Immigration Clearinghouse, have issued a fatwa calling for the murder of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC's President William Gheen following his appearance on Fox and Friends.
Local police and the FBI have been contacted and reports have been filed concerning these threats and civil rights violations that are coming from Dream Act Amnesty supporters. The Dream Act Amnesty would give legal status, college access, and voting rights to over 2 million illegal aliens.
What a specious argument. Of course we are a nation of immigrants. However, in the past immigrants came to the US and became "Americanized", they assimilated to life in America, they accepted and became part of our culture. The new generation of immigrants, especially illegals imo, do not assimilate. They want to be "mexicans in America" or whatever from wherever leading to the balkanization of America and sounding the death knell to what was once a great country. I am not saying that they are the only source of our national decline, but they are a large part of it. I suggest we round up every single illegal in this country and deport them. It would be expensive, but in the end would save us quite a bit. This dream act is a nightmare that we need to wake up from before our nation is totally gone.

Um, what country are you in? Because (assuming that you are in the US) you are aware that very few US citizens aren't immigrants within the last 500 years, aren't you (and everyone there's a migrant within the Holocene)?And as much as you can say "well, that was the past", this will be, too, someday, and "that was legal" doesn't really wash because whoever was there first decided what was legal.

are you out your freakin mind? every immigrant regardless of origination has been proud of their culture... even to this day. the irish are proud to be irish, the same goes for the scotts, etc... and this is generation after generation after generation and so on and so forth... what a blatantly bigoted comment of you sir. every man and women should be proud of their culture it is what makes us individuals and made the USA the wonderful place it has potential to be.
i weep for this country and what it has become... what was once glorified here is now shunned.. TPTB are winning and your too busy blaming your problems on people that want nothing more then to better their lives and that of their familes. it truly is a sad day.edit on 3-12-2010 by stuncrazy because: (no reason given)
