I think that might have something to do with the fact that no matter how much we bitch and moan, most americans are privileged to have a pretty ok life. well that, and American men have huge genitalia. It makes us happy, and our women even happier.

I don't think that is an important fantasy that needs to be perpetuated.

I know they came her through a legal process via Boston for one side, and via the Mayflower on another, others through Ellis Island, all through a legal immigration process.

Certainly not, the ants belong here.

First, there is no such thing as an "illegal immigrant" in America. 100% of federal immigration laws and even the immigration department itself is unconstitutional and therefore null and void.

I agree with you about jobs not being stolen. Jobs belong to whomever the employer chooses to hire out of those willing and able to perform the duties of the job at the agreed upon salary.

I have the right to hire anyone I want from anywhere I want with or without papers and no person or group of people, regardless of their number or what they call themselves...including "government" has any legitimate authority to force me to do otherwise.

When the English, Dutch, German, Irish, French, Italians, Africans, etc. came here, they just had to show up on a boat and they were welcomed with open arms and given the opportunity to live, work, and contribute inside America.

The federal government is not granted any authority over immigration by the U.S. Constitution. The legal process is just to show up.

Even ants are immigrants. And earth worms. And bees. And diseases. We need more quotas.

Legal only because no restrictions existed (except for Chinese). Did TheMercenary again forget to mention that part?

Today, with so much hate, some would attack evil immigrants. Conveniently forget how laws have changed to discriminate ... and call that good. So again, it’s all about 'good verse evil'. The good guys can even forget a few facts - and rationalize who are the good guys?

Of course they came legally when immigrants were welcome - when the good guys did not hate. How do we know? Good must always triumph over evil immigrants.

We do a lot of work with Indian tribes. Several times I've gone to meetings and seen someone wearing a t-shirt with a picture of Geronimo, Yahnoza, Chappo and Fun with the text "Homeland Security - Fighting Terrorism Since 1492"
