It's because most of us are the spawn of immigrants that I find it SO ironic now when I hear Americans complain about the current immigration situation. I personally can't begrudge anyone for wanting to come here when my own great grandparents did the same about 100 years ago. At least they aren't coming here trying to kill us all off to take what we have like the Europeans did to the natives!
Happy Thanksgiving EVERYONE.  I hope we DO learn from history so we never repeat it. |
I have to disagree to an extent, the Americans are not complaining about the immigrants coming into our country. Yes we have all had family coming to the USA but they came in legally. There is a big difference, your ancestors went through the proper channels. They did not get a free ride they had to become citzens and learn the language and culture. Today we have to comform to the immigrants wants and needs we have become the minority. The immigrants are welcomed as all have been in the past but they must do it legally.. Think about it....
