Um yeah, sorry i dont get the point of posting those huge long lists. I totally agree that many immigrants have contributed alot to society but thats not the issue. I also take offense to being called a redneck or ignorant and that you accuse us of not accepting different cultures. As i stated in my previous post i am all too happy to accept any new cultures by celebrating their holidays, trying their food, whatever. The real issue seems to be the way that we have to bend our society to accomodate the demands of some immigrants instead of them making a small effort to respect the culture of the new country they live in by at the very least, learning english. Again, i say some in case i'm being "ignorant" again.
Also, i have searched for any mention of illegal immigrants getting SSN's but i honestly can't find anything. I know that workers from different countries can apply for work visa's like the HB-1 or the old TD and that they are then issused a SSN but i have never heard of illegal immigrants getting one. If you would point me towards a credible source that says there is such a thing i will be more then happy to admit i'm wrong, but why would they still be considered ILLEGAL immigrants if they are registered by the government?

I'm not calling you ignorant or a redneck, but immigrants that are stilled considered illegal can have work social security numbers, but have no standing as an American citizen. They just get to pay taxes. The government is well aware we have illegal immigrants living here and allow them to work and won't deport them as long as they pay taxes and don't cause a stir
Here look it up, lawful noncitizens getting social security
