[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 2020835, member: 18225"] This entire nation was made up of 'illegal' aliens. I'm not talking vikings or native Americans, I'm talking Irish, Chinese, Germans, etc. The very people that built this country. So, what, have we reached some point where we no longer accept the wretched or the poor? [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Colossus'] [U][B]The New Colossus:[/B][/U][/URL] Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" .... America was built on immigrants, literally from day one, and there were always BLEEP arguing about it. Are you like one of the idiots from 100 years ago trying to keep the Irish and the Germans and the Jews out? [/QUOTE]
