"First of all, Patty's response was fantastic. Eloquent, accurate (if not a bit exaggerated at one point), and RELEVANT. My post doesn't promise to be so, but I'll do my best anyway.

Ok, my second "first of all": this country was built ON and BY illegal immigrants. Period. If you don't like it, then as a descendant
of them, you should GTFO. That's assuming you're not Native American.

Next: There is a problem with illegal immigration, though it's not that they're "stealing our culture". They're taking the jobs that we wouldn't do, anyway.

And how, exactly, do they "steal" our culture? Such a thing isn't even possible. They may be becoming less and less the majority, which makes their culture more prevalent, but that simply because THERE ARE MORE OF THEM. Our culture is STILL INTACT. We are still inbred, selfish, consuming, ignorant, sloppy hicks -- with the exception of the dab of aristocratic creamy goodness on top. Don't worry, that's not going anywhere.

If I don't care, then it's that what you say is retarded, not that it's true. And yes. I (possessive) am all against the US. Straw men and circular logic are gonna get you far, buddy.

It's not as though they're engendering a hostile takeover. They can't vote, so they can't rearrange our government.

And if they could vote, I bet they would relish the opportunity; with an average of less than 50% eligible voter turnout, we certainly don't seem to.

Start realizing that we, as citizens of this once-great land, cause the vast majority of our own problems, and you'll be halfway to solving them. Stop looking for scapegoats."

Nicely put. on the native american thing though, if you believe in evoultion, they aren't natives either, becasue they came from asia from the middle east from africa... maybe thats why alot of people are aginst the ideal of revoultuion.

Im not against it, but thats because it makes more sense to me now then a ny of the thousands of branches of religion make sense. I think religion is going to more or less die off someday (it wont go away all together, but it wont be as widespread.) God was useful for when humanity couldn't explain why some things happened. He's also a way of ebing a scapegoat in a way, making people think they are havong troubles because they sinned when its really all their god damn fault.
