I find it ironic that you raise
ILLEGALS and Obama as part of the same thought process. Maybe I missed something. I didn't bother checking the other thread (and apologies in advance if I remember incorrectly, but didn't you assume Obama was a Muslim?)
My take is that the vast majority of the residents of this country are, at the very least, descendants of immigrants. Some of our great-grandparents, grandparents or parents came here illegally, some came legally. But they all came for the same reason.
Our forefathers understood this and the originating concept was that this was to be a land of freedom. Although some of the rules have been changed whether we like them or not, it's not comfortable to see/hear your constant references to
ILLEGALS ARE ILLEGAL. PERIOD.
Although you may not mean it that way, it kinda rings of racism, although I've never called you one. Between the lines, it seems to say that the stories and the people don't matter, this is
my country and
they don't belong.
I'm only speaking for myself here. My other responses to you remain in the other thread, so I won't bring old baggage into the mix.
