No, my whole family tree wasn't born in the US; as a matter of fact, I'm the first generation legal immigrant myself. I came here with $400 in my wallet and I worked my butt off to get where I'm at today. I didn't expect anybody, including Government, bend over backwards to help me in any way; I didn't demend any extra priveleges to make my life easier; I've never received a penny from the Government in the form of welfare, or any other social program; the only monetary benefits I've ever received from the Government was unemployment benefits when I got laid off several years ago; I've never bitched and moaned how difficult my life is, how unfair I'm being treated, how I have to pay my own education or medical bills because back home it all was free; I didn't demand the entire Country to learn my native language so that I didn't have to learn English, etc. I can go on and on, but you get the point. That's why it rubs me the wrong way when I see those illegal immigrants bitch about being mis-treated. If it sucks so much here - go home!

A person that enters this, or any other Country illegally is a criminal. It's as easy as that. Just like any person that enters my house without my permission is a criminal.

It wasn't really a personal comment as much as just trying to understand why you'd side with criminals on this issue. And you may or may not make more money than I do and pay more taxed - I don't know, nor do I care, and it doesn't have anything to do with this thread anyways. If you want to play "my dick is bigger than yours" game - start another thread for it.
