I complete understand some of you guy's point of views. Yes your tax dollars are paying for their healthcare and for many other things, but you all fail to realize that so are the non english speaking hispanics ( from all countries) that live in the U.S. I lived in the U.S for many years and have now come back to El Salvador which was where i was born, ( i am on vacation). Now i am an American just like any of you ( yes even though i was born in another country that wasn't the U.S)
Lots of people seem to forget that people that were born below the U.S are also americans. Yes they are; people from Mexico are North Americans, people From El Salvador are Central Americans, and people from anywhere in the "americas" are also AMERICANS. So you see you don't have to be born in the U.S to be an American.
Now that we got that straight. You are right some U.S born americans will do almost any job not only for a decent salary ( but only for a good wage most of the time, I know my friends would not work for low wages and neither would I) But i know alot of very low paying jobs like growing peaches in california and apples and other types of fruits and other jobs that i only see other races doing.That most of you guy's wouldn't do for that amount of money.
I know that in school they teach that california and other states were stolen from mexicans, it might not sound good but those of you who really know the U.S history know that it is true. I mean come on the people that came to the americas came from a foreign land and then took over a land that wasn't theirs, i believe that constitutes stealing. I know that you might not want to hear that but those are facts. The U.S is now your country but it wasn't at first and all of you were immigrants ( you may not call them illegal immigrants cause there was no law that made them illegal during that time) Now if they came from a foreign land to better them selves and escape persecution than why can't some people who contribute to the country go to the U.S
Other races also contribute to the U.S as muchas any of you. I know that most of the people from these forums are good individuals and some of you may think that the illegal immigrants are invading your country, but hey you did it first, so quit complaining. I pay taxes for my businnes like any of you do, so why can't i be there if i am a working class person. We're all human beings that are looking for a way of life and as long as they're not criminals who are doing the samething to make other races look bad they should be given a chance to better themselves.
Yeah they do send alot of money to other countries, but don't you guy's send some alos to yours when they are in need. So why can't they? it's their money! even though their family members live in another country.
you need to quit looking as only the people that were born there as Americans and look at the whole country as a country who values diversity and become a united country. You should be proud of who and where you and your ancestors come from, but they should also be allowed to be proud of their heritage.
that's why there is so many problems in the states, instead of bitching about other cultures and other immigrants just like your family members once were. You should all be united and try to keep the country as a good country to be in. Instead of fighting all of those immigrants you should be trying to fight all those terrorist that want to kill all americans and think that they are going to heaven by doing so. They're bad people in every culture but we should look at the good things they can bring also instead of all the bad ones. They have a right to better themselves just as much as any of you.
i hope to not have offended anyone with this reply, as it was not my intentions. But only to enlighten you a bit, and let you know that you are not the only Americans on the planet. So the next time you look at a mexican and think of him as a illegal immigrant, keep in mind that they are Americans just as any of you if not more. Since all of their ancestors were americans even before your ancestors invaded their land.
