[QUOTE="SouthCal, post: 707289, member: 27309"] Thank you for saying this Upstate. This political hot topic frustrates me to no end and it's something I'm extremely passionate about. It's not that they're all criminals or are lazy, it's that they're trying to help their families the best way they can and know how to. It was no different 403 years ago (yes, 403 years ago, for those who need a history refresher, Jamestown was settled in Virginia in 1607 as the first British colony) when the English began to settle their colonies along the eastern seaboard, except they were stealing land from the Native Americans at that point. So it's kind of a monkey see, monkey do" theory at work here. Except the only thing the aliens are doing is "stealing" work that natural citizens don't want to or refuse to do because we feel it's beneath us or beneath our pay grade because we want bigger and better and more of it. Americans are so entitled and so wrapped up in themselves they don't/can't/won't see the bigger picture (gee, that sounds familiar). Nor do they understand the ramifications of early American history. They're only doing the same thing our ancestors did 400 years ago. Yet, we still deny the Native Americans their rightful land and give them a "lease" on the land which they reside on. These people want nothing more than to become residents and citizens and make everything right not only for them, but for their families. I have several friends who have recently become residents and citizens after their parents brought them here as small children. They've graduated from school here, they speak better English than most people that were actually born in the United States, and they work very hard for what they have. They came here under circumstances out of their control and actually worked diligently to make their unfortunate circumstances right in the eyes of the government and narrow-minded individuals. They still get crap for it just because of a stupid stereotype. Either way, they can't win. Regardless of their status situation, I'm still proud to call these people my friends and family. [/QUOTE]
