If illegal aliens are doing the same thing that "Our ancestors" did, to the USA now, then wouldn't this be...

Question

...considered an invasion, and why aren't we fighting back then?

Answer 1

My great grandparents learned the language and were proud to be an American.

I can't say the same for the Illegal Mexicans in this country

Answer 2

Because the government let them get away with anything. Because we are the land of the free, we have to pay the price by letting everyone and their cousins in.  Any store you go into now, everything is in Spanish. Sure, it's nice and "politically correct".  But I think when you come to America you should speak the official language---English..That is, until 2009 when Obama is elected into office.

Answer 3

Your premise is faulty because today's illegals are not doing the same thing 'our ancestors' did, whatever that was.  I don't think you could make the argument that the Pilgrims came here to earn a higher wage so they could send it all back to the families in Britain.   The illegals, especially the Mexicans, are sneaking in and deliberately breaking the laws of an established country and taking advantage of a system that does not belong to them.

Answer 4

I  think of it as an invasion. Especially when Mexican drug cartels have, and use better guns than our own law enforcement has (full auto rifles).

The only reasoning that I can figure as to why we are being so submissive to Mexico is that our government, (or world bank controlling our government) must have a plan in the near future of opening the borders similar to how Europe is. If you haven't noticed, we are moving into being a one world government.

I keep hearing about the Amero, and they are killing the dollar with artificial fuel prices, so this is all a real possiblity.

Answer 5

Subsidized services make a world of difference.

The natives didn't put our kids in their schools and give us medical care and food, etc.

Answer 6

Our ancestors took an open and wild land, and tamed it.  Go to the Virginia or Minnesota Forest Region and understand that was what almost all of North American looked like, and well into the Great Plains.  So when our ancestors came, they cut the road they drove over with an axe, and then cut the trees that covered the land they planted, and then removed the stumps that remained while the corn, wheat and barely were growing.  100 came... 50 of them got to the land, and only one third of the 50 remained after three years.  It exhausted men and women, and it was that way for two hundred years.

Did we steal the land from the first settlers?  No.  They didn't want it.  They wanted the game and easy eats.  And when they couldn't get it, they raided the folks next door, or starved to death.  The Europeans literally enabled the first settlers to live as they showed them how to plant and grow.

The Latinos, as it happens, that are coming north now have an attitude that they own the land, and are owed a living.  That welfare is part of their right, and they intend to get it regardless of what happens.

The American Congress is ignoring us, and have indicated this is a ..non... issue which cannot take their time.  Their attitude is.. they are to important to do the will of the people.  Very interesting that this Congress abandoned us too.. and are actively seeking the votes of the illegal aliens.  In fact, everything depends on the Democratic Party getting those votes and winning the Presidency, as well as holding on to the Congressional Seats they currently have.

I also believe there was a deal and President Bush enabled McCain to get the money he needed to win the effort.  I have begun to believe the Republican Nominee was a set up by George Bush.  So to specifically answer.... things were not the same when our forefather came... and we are fighting back!

Answer 7

IF you are trying to instigate something, you need more proof.

First off, the Citizen was happy and cheerful when homes were built on the cheap (35k)- illegal labour. (until mortage {over night} companies jacked up the price @ 150 K n up.)

Homeowners were cheerful when gardening was cheap - illegal labour.

Homeowners where happy with insurance response after weather damage - illegal labour.

and we can make the list go on and on....

Until, the Citizen takes action - force the Government to take action on employers that hire illegal labour - this will go on and on...

History was yesterday - what does it have to do with today... ancestors..... ha, they are dead  -D E A D as in gone... live  your live today for a better tommorrow... or you will remain as miserable today as you were yesterday...

Drug Cartels are not just Mexicans:

Answer 8

My ancestors were fed to the lions.  I think Siegfried and Roy should be shot.

Answer 9

democrates and there amnesty thing.

lol yea its funny. but im just saying its true!

now whats even funnier is that were getting our house roof done(redone i should say) and my dad comes home(he's a jail guard so it looks like a border patrol outfit) and he comes out of his van and walkes over to our house and all i know is that all the workers RAN!

Answer 10

The last immigrant ancestor in my family came in 1650 and settled in Kentucky. He paid his fare on the ship and was the areas first doctor. He treated Indians along with settlers.

The point is your arguments are over used without any basis on facts and you pros are just repeating them without even understanding what the heck you are talking about.

Fedup: Sorry my bad

Answer 11

My family never illegal immigrated anywhere and no pro-crime pro-illegal invasion in the 21st century person can ever tell me any different.

That lame excuse only gets respect from people who failed history.

Answer 12

My ancestors came here legally, so should everyone else.

Answer 13

Our ancestors came over from Europe when the USA wasn't a country with soverign rights and rule of law - just a land mass.  That is an apples and oranges comparison

Answer 14

Because unlike them we actually made it clear what we were doing they on the other hand deny deny deny so we can't do jack or else we would be called racists. And you know how scared Americans are of being called the R word.

Answer 15

I haven't seen GROUPS of illegals burning villages or taking prisoners or even running Americans out of a factory with hatchets. Are they rounding YOU up to live in a corner they picked for you? Can YOU still vote in your land? This is hardly the same but expected from ppl who deny past atrocities at will.

Answer 16

Some people are fighting back but not enough. Every legal US citizen needs to get involved. They (we) need to hound all of our elected officials and boycott the companies that use illegal labor.

Answer 17

What goes around,  comes around.

Answer 18

I agree, and if what goes around comes around, illegals are screwed.  I can't wait to see what "comes around" to them illegal folks aaaaahoooooooooo lOL>
