[QUOTE="sam_b03, post: 7685135, member: 607518"] I can document my family back to the May Flower. The difference at the time the US was wanting people to come over. It is kinda like a night club. They will let anybody in but once they reach capacity they are a little more selective about who they want to let in. I don't really don't have a problem with people wanting to come here. I just would like them to do it legally and pay the taxes the same way I do. If they would make an effort to learn the language of the locals take pride in their new home. It really grates my nerves seeing vehicles flying other countries flags. If you like them so much you should have stayed there. The mexican's especially are bad about this. I am not saying that you have to totally abandon your heritage just recognise that you are now an American first. There is always a race of people that get hated on for coming over in droves. The Irish were treated terribly during the potato famine. The slang term which is/was considered an insult for Italians is WOP. It stands for With Out Papers.
