Honest question because I don't know your view: In your opinion, does being born human automatically confer a right to become an American citizen whenever one decides to be one? 

 

 

His view is generally dark and brown.

 

But that's mostly due to his head placement.

Should it exclude people from the right to become an American citizen?

LOL no.

 

But the point still remains  

 

WE ARE ALL one human race   

 

Or  here is a point some might like 

 

We are all pink on the inside 

 

 

How many European immigrants came over DIRT poor? 

 

Can you speak to the differences/similarities in culture between Europeans in the between the years 1883-1903 and Central and South America’s now?

 

Can you speak to the differences between “poor” relative to wealth norms of the lower class of citizens in immigrants between the years 1883-1903 and today?

 

Can you speak to the differences in government assistance paid for by the tax payer, and subsidized by the debt obligations of their children, between the years or 1883-1903 and today?

 

Thank you in advance.

Portugal Spain   is there really a difference?   

 

that is like saying a Sicilian isn't Italian  

 I'd say most came here were dirt poor, they worked their butts off, learned english, and didn't take a dime from the government. I don't know anyone who's against immigration, just against illegal immigration, and those who sneak in here shouldn't get a penny from taxpayers

Oh boy, another take-my-ball-and-go-home thread. <_< I shoulda known. :doh:  That is disappointing, to be sure.

some could say those massive caravans fit that.  

 

Thanks all

Or what? You'll delete it? Shun us with another poor display of the English language?

Would you please show us where in the United States Code (or even the Code of Federal Regulations) that poem is codified as our national immigration policy?

Which is not something many people believed in 1886.  I believe it was already mentioned that you're trying to retcon history according to modern morals.

Seriously?  Most of 'em.   Are you being willfully obtuse today?

Both Italians and Sicilians would disagree.

There was no welfare state or expectation of handouts at the time those immigrants came here. The country is much different now, and its needs are different too. Nothing wrong with being selective, as foreigners don’t have a right to become an American citizen or to live/ work here. There’s nothing racist about this law as we are all one race, right ? To call it racist is to imply that some races can’t be educated or become successful.

I'll hang up and listen to open dialog 

 

Poems are not federal law.

It’s a ***** poem not the rule of law!  When you start basing immigration policy on a poem you’ve lost all credibility. That is if you had any to lose

I know of that thread.  thanks 

 

I'm curious as to who thinks this specific statement is racist or if not racist pointed to a specific nationalities from South and Central America 

 

Maybe I should have made it a poll  

 

Racist 

Not Racist 

 

Not Racist 

 

I think the difference being that Europeans couldn't walk across the border.
