Is it just me or are there more and more people whining lately? The liberals whine that Bush isn't leading the country right, the liberals whine that too many troops are dying in Iraq, the liberals whine that gas is too high. Okay, so maybe only the liberals have been whining but today hundreds of thousands of Hispanics took a page from the liberals playbook. Hispanics flooded the streets, leaving their workplaces and schools, to protest immigration reform that would make entering the country illegally a felony. Protestors marched and carried signs that read such things as: "Our Rights" "We Are America" and such things. My response will come in two parts. 1) If you are an employer whose workers left work today to protest fire them! Anybody who walks off the job should be fired. 2) You are not America out there. You are Mexicans who have illegally crossed the border and squatted here. You also have no rights, you are not citizens of the U.S. and cannot and should not be treated like one. If you aren't legalized then you have no rights and sure as heck shouldn't be granted amnesty. But my biggest problem with these "immigrants" is the fact that they will not become American they want to make money here without having to give something to make America better. Theses people want America to pay them, clothe them, provide for them while they care so little for America that they won't even learn English (and we're expected to accommodate. If there are people out there who really want to become Americans...immigrate legally...it's not that difficult...unless you're a known terrorist or drug dealer. Theodore Roosevelt had this to say about immigrants and immigration: "In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself with us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every way an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
