If that's the case, why did the Founding Fathers specify that the Natural Born Citizenship clause didn't apply to them?
“out of respect to those distinguished revolutionary patriots, who were born in a foreign land, and yet had entitled themselves to high honours in their adopted country. A positive exclusion of them from the office would have been unjust to their merits, and painful to their sensibilities.”

So in other words, the existence of the United States is at least partially due to immigrants.
And let's not forget it was immigrants that led to this land being colonized by Europeans in the first place.

clear way to tell a dem from a repub.
Republicans are constantly trying to find a better way to make more money. A dem is sitting doing nothing but complaining about how unfair life is with their hands out to be given something. You do know tech schools are basically free with federal pell grants?
Ever wonder why imigrants ( legal ones) seem on average to be above the national average on basis of income. They dont whine or complain they celebrate and grab every opportunity.

Where I live the pay is much more than $10 and there are a lot of bonuses. Where my parents live the going rate is $25-30++ for caretakers and it is very difficult to get anyone.
There is really a need, maybe some of us won't notice until we are the ones that need these services. By that time, we won't care if it is little green men helping us.

This is the same garbage argument that is used in Europe.
How is that working out for them?
Most of the migrants end up unemployed.
There are plenty of unemployed people in the US.
If these jobs will be so necessary, I am sure that these unemployed americans can fill them.
Actually most immigrants into the UK are in full employment and paying more taxes into the system than they take out in benefits.

Yet they remained unfilled now. What will happen when all the baby boomers retire?
