youre right,...youre very right,.....

we brought illness and slaughtered them, then we forced them to move to crapy land

i understand that,.....however i'm not gonna sit here and say America is evil,...because i dont believe it is,....
and its not just America,.....other countries have done some quite unsavory things,....we has humans are destructive and everything we 'gain' is normaly at a high cost

as for immigration,...i have no problem with immigrants, i have a problem with illegal aliens

I thought illegal immigrants aren't in the system therefore the government doesn't actually spend any money on them...*unsure*
Are you saying all or most illegal immigrants are lazy and live off the state somehow? I'm really rather ignorant here so don't take this the wrong way, I really want to know...

immigrants work like 10 times harder than any american citizen. they take the jobs we don't want, and they aren't paid well either. We should at least respect that if not anything else

Well that's what I always thought, but maybe there's something else to it...*unsure*

no sir,..i'm not saying that at all,...

in fact, when i was in high school i sold peaches at a road side stand during the summer,......there is a large orchard in the town i grew up, and most high school kids did the same,....
because of this i was around many of the illegal immigrant workers,.....they would come here for the season and make enough money to live in mexico for the rest of the year,......the same workers would come back year after year, and after awhile i built up friendships with many of them,....they were all great, hardworking, family guys who were just tryin to make some money to feed their wives and kids,.....and while i find that honorable,....and like many of them,....it is still wrong

as for paying for them,.....the majority of revenue that is spent on them is health care,.....also, most of them will buy illegal social security numbers,....they often obtain welfare this way,....
so we are paying for them,....

I find this to be an internal problem with how we operate rather than an immigrant problem. I mean legal citizens can buy a duplicate ss to obtain benifits.
